Chapter 211
Jalen listened to her and let Alisha go. But Alisha did not move.
Alisha believed that Elaina would mean it and slap her again if Alisha came any closer.
Alisha cried out in grievance. This really hurt her feelings.
She turned around and ran to Deven, crying and shouting, “Deven… I feel like hell…”
Deven looked at her flushed cheeks and felt distressed. He glared at Elaina. “Elaina, do you think you can get away with it? My family can make you pay!”

To go against Elaina, Alisha had to get control of the Stein family first.
“Can I do it?” Deven was uncertain.
“With me here, you can!”
Alisha nodded at him. She knew that he was moved and continued, “You have to learn to protect me. Deven, you promised not to let anyone hurt me when we got married.”
