"What did you say... That's impossible!"
Elsie panicked, her eyes wide open as she struggled fiercely under Harvey's grip, her fists raining down on his chest. "You're lying! You're deceiving me!"
"Ellie... Ellie..."
Harvey looked at her dazedly, completely unfazed by her fury, breathing heavily, "Why would I lie to you? I've been honest with you, I've never deceived you."
"With this face... With Evadne's face, how could Mr. Chambers ever let me marry you?!"
Elsie screamed, almost losing control of her emotions, "I don't want to marry you... I don't!"
"Then who will you marry? Elvis Waverley?!" Harvey glared with bloodshot eyes, suddenly roaring at her.
In that moment, Elsie felt a heart-wrenching pain, her body stiffened in his arms.
Harvey gripped her chin tightly, as if to crush her bones:
"You're a woman toyed with by Mr. Chambers, bearing a face identical to his sister. Do you think Elvis would want you? Can he?
He's the distinguished Mr. Ashbourne, holding a significant position. What kind of woman hasn't he seen? Without spending a penny, there are women lining up, throwing themselves at him, hoping to become the lady of the Ashbourne family!"
Harvey's words cut like a knife, making Elsie's heart bleed, "To him, you're just a fleeting interest, pretty, pitiful, nothing but a higher-up showing pity to someone beneath!
And me... I, Harvey, genuinely love you! If it wasn't for me speaking up for you to Mr. Chambers, protecting you in the shadows, you would have been disposed of long ago, do you understand?!"
