words made Elyse suppress her frustration and cross her arms together, looking as arrogant as usual. “It’s nothing. There’s no meaning to this. As long as I am Leo’s fiancée, I will be the winner. After all, the Alston Family will put me on a pedestal if they want a better reputation.” As she spoke, she smiled
