CHAPTER 573 SENDING GIFTS
Welson Harley was a man of privilege. He was rarely treated with such an attitude. The colors on his
face instantly turned dull at Elspeth''s words. Nheless, he had worked so hard to locate his long-lost
daughter that he was too embarrassed to reprimand her. "Elspeth, I—"
However, Elspeth retained her cold attitude. "That''s enough, Mr. Harley. If there is nothing else to
address, I will leave first." With that, she turned around to leave while the butler on her side quickly
tagged along.
Once she left, Welson heaved a heavy sigh. "Yozan, have I ever mistreated you after all these years? I
gave you the best education, supported you financially, and even let you inherit the family business."
He thought he had given his son everything he could besides the unnecessary fatherly love.
However, Yozan didn''t seem to be content with them. Even after obtaining everything he could, he still
longed for his father''s attention and concern. In addition, he should not expect those from Welson
because he wasn''t going to give those to him.
On the other hand, every time Welson looked at Yozan, it brought back memories of a woman
desperately trying to get into his bed twenty years ago. How appalling! As a result, Welson harbored
deep resentment toward his son. Hence, when the woman who gave birth to his son died from
complications duringbor, he could finally resolve one of his concerns. Nheless, he found it
absurd that she had gone through so much to bring Yozan into the Harley Family, only to die before she
could enjoy the blessing.
Watching his father plunge into his own thoughts, Yozan frowned. "I don''t need any of those from you."
He was born and raised in the Harley Family, so it stood to reason that he should be grateful.
Unfortunately, he was a rebel. Growing up, he always felt wronged and aggrieved. Perhaps, he was
mindful of too many things at once and always dreamed about having something unreachable.
"What are you talking about? Are you sure you don''t need any of these?" Welson snickered at his son''s
statement. "Without our family, you are nothing. Don''t you think you sound ridiculous?"

Yozan''s face turned pallid after hearing that. He''s right; I am nothing without the Harley Family.
Perhaps, I would have been abandoned in an unknown orphanage where others would have bullied
me. Afraid of saying anything that might provoke Welson, he lowered his head. "I''m sorry."
On the other hand, Welson wouldn''t let his son go like that. After all, Yozan had told Elspeth everything
earlier. "If an apology worked in every case, why do we even need the police?" Anger boiled in
Welson''s chest. "What were you thinking? How could you tell her all that?!"
Yozan had identally blurted the truth out of impulse. However, he reasoned that informing her ahead
of time, before she found out on her own, was a better idea. "I have told you before. Elspeth is skilled in
hacking. Do you think she wouldn''t run a background check on you after she gets to know you? If you
don''t tell her in advance, there''s no way she''ll ept you once she finds out that you''ve been hiding
the truth all along." He was clearly trying to justify himself by saying that, but he was also inly
speaking his mind.
"Your words appear to make sense." Welson nced at his son, feeling his anger dissipate a little. "So,
what do you think we should do now?" Even though he looked down on Yozan, he believed his son
was helpful in times of crisis.
"Our priority now is to think of a solution to win Elspeth''s heart." Looking at the contemptuous
expression on his father''s face, Yozan clenched his fists. "If you want her to ept you, you should first
gain her mother''s trust."
After hearing that, Welson did notice that Elspeth only wavered at the mention of her mother. "Okay. I
know what to do now." He smiled with satisfaction. "Since you gave me a good suggestion, I''ll treat it
as you made up for your mistake this time. Let''s forgo the punishment."
In an indifferent tone, Yozan uttered, "Thank you, Father."
…
Meanwhile, Elspeth knew Welson would take action, but she didn''t expect him toe so soon.
Early in the morning, she heard someone knocking at the door. She thought someone had returned,
but when she opened the door, a group of people was standing outside carrying a dozen or more
boxes.
The man leading the group looked familiar. If she was right, it was the butler she metst time. With his
head slightly bowed, he greeted her, "Miss Lynwood, these are some gifts from Mr. Harley. Please
ept them."
After skimming at the group, Elspeth replied indifferently, "Everything here is too expensive. You should
bring them back." She noticed that the boxes themselves were expensive, let alone the contents.
"Mr. Harley said he didn''t manage to send gifts to you for your wedding, so he wants to send you these
as dowry."
I haven''t even epted him as my dad yet! Why is he acting like one already?! Elspeth felt uneasy
upon hearing that. Then, she stated bluntly, "I don''t need all these at the moment. Tell him that he
should know his ce and make sure he keeps a distance from me." With that, she was about to turn
around and shut the door.
"Who''s outside?" At that moment, Callum walked out, saw the butler with a ttering smile, and
frowned slightly. "Who''s this?"
"Someone from the Harley Family."
Then, she briefly introduced the two to each other, giving Callum context to the butler''s identity. She
had told him about what happenedst night, including the matter about Yozan. On the other hand, he
felt sorry for Yozan and had a negative impression of Welson, despite being his father-inw.
"Please take all of these items back. We don''t need them." Without a doubt, he was in the same boat
as Elspeth.
The butler was in a dilemma. He wasn''t sure whether to leave or stay. "Mr. Harley told me to pass you
all these items. If I bring them back, he''ll definitely be disappointed." In other words, he was only given
instructions toplete the task, and he did not have the authority to make decisions.
Looking at his white sideburns, Elspeth felt sorry for him and suggested, "Then, leave these boxes here
for now. I''ll return them when I have the time to do so."
When he heard her first sentence, the butler smiled like a flower in bloom, but when she blurted out the
second, he looked distressed. Again, he tried to persuade her. "Miss Lynwood, Mr. Harley sincerely
wants to mend his rtionship with you, or he wouldn''t have sent you so many gifts. You should try to
get along with him, so he won''t be disappointed."
All of a sudden, her gaze turned cold. A fierce look was evident on her face. "Please return and tell Mr.
Harley I don''t need it."
