تسجيل الدخول"Miss King, take a look at this! There are a lot of bad things about you online!" an employee said.
Elise wasn't surprised, looking at the rumors. Everyone online, probably influencers and accounts hired by the Andersons, were scolding her. "Trace their IP address and find out who hired them. I want to see if my guess is correct," Elise handed the tablet back to the employee. However, no one had really seen the face of Elise Thatcher. A clear photo"Ah! Help! Help!"Jessica dropped into the pool, the water splashing loudly. She began to thrash and call for help loudly.Elise narrowed her eyes. At that moment, she felt a chilling presence behind her. Realization hit her hard!"Help! Someone please save my child!" Jessica cried, thrashing wildly, seemingly like she was going to drown.Kayden rushed past her and jumped into the pool, hauling Jessica to safety. He was drenched from head to toe, cradling an unconscious Jessica in his arms."Jessica! Jessica!" He called repeatedly, nearly frantic. However, there was no response.Elise's chest heaved up and down as she watched this scene."Call an ambulance!" Kayden yelled.At the hospital, the doctor sighed, shaking his head as he walked out of the ward."Doctor, how is it?" Mrs. Paige rushed up to the doctor, gripping his arm anxiously. Her eyes were swollen from crying."Doctor, just say it! How's Jessica?" Mr. Paige asked."I'm sorry. The baby is lost," the doctor sighed."What? Ho
"Mr. Grey, Maggie," Elise greeted them with a smile.Instantly, Jessica's face turned dark. This woman was everywhere! She felt as if Elise was doing this on purpose, appearing in front of them to cause trouble. If it weren't for keeping up with her gentle image, Jessica would have attacked her by now and pulled her hair out."Elise! Glad to see you here. Kayden, let me introduce you to Elise. There were two available hotels that were willing and ready to host our wedding. I didn't know which one to choose, so I invited both of you here," Maggie said.Kayden's eyes were on Elise the whole time. She was here to steal his business again, wasn't she? He was angry but secretly intrigued by her. No woman had challenged him like she did."So let's see what you've got. I hope it's not too hard on both of you. We're trying to please our cranky grandparents," Maggie led them to the coffee table where two couches were. Jessica purposely took up her spot beside Kayden.The maids came and served
"I would suggest buying the least popular Macintosh Land rather than the Lodge land," Damien said."Why?" Elise was surprised. She wanted to know why he had this idea. The Macintosh was seen as unprofitable by everyone."Woah. Mr. D'Augstino has the same idea as our Elise," Edward said."The both of you have the same thoughts. Both want to give up the very popular Lodge land and buy the Macintosh Land instead. Many people would call you fools," Ellison shot a meaningful look at Edward. Edward kicked Donovan's leg under the table."Hey! What did you—"Edward hushed him, using his eyes to signal toward Elise and Damien chatting happily."Do you think so?" Donovan's eyes brightened, getting the hint.The two brothers nodded, sharing the same thoughts."Maybe the way to forget about someone is to find someone new. And let things go their way,""But first, we need to do a background check on Damien. We can't set her up with another jerk," Donovan whispered."Don't you think she'll be angry
Elise headed back to Massachusetts the next day. Staying in New York would only remind her of the years she spent longing for Kayden, a man who didn't love her at all."Check this out. You, Kayden, and Jessica are all over the news. And there's another media outlet that's spreading rumors about you, calling you names and tagging our big brother's Twitter account," Donovan said.The car arrived at Elise's villa. She took off her shoes, sighing as she dropped herself onto the couch."Whoever's behind it is obviously trying to sow discord," Edward said.The siblings began to eat breakfast together while discussing the events that happened yesterday."With what happened at the wedding, of course it'll give her rotten news a boost. Elise, should we do something about it?""No. I have my plans," Elise sipped her coffee."Kayden really is a fool for cheating on you with that woman," Penelope said. "I really want to punch him in the face. What the hell was he thinking?""Ahem," Ellison shot h
"Please, Elise. Give me your honest answer," Kayden said, almost begging."Yes," Elise replied, sucking in a breath.Everyone gasped. Even Jessica. They had known each other?"Where? When?" Kayden became more frantic, stepping towards her. But Donovan blocked his way, firing a warning gaze at him. The two men were the same height, but Kayden was more muscular. If the two of them got into a fight, it wasn't certain who would win, but Kayden stood more chance."Get out of the way. I'm talking to her," Kayden gritted his teeth."You said one question," Donovan glared at him with disdain and contempt."I don't like to repeat myself,""And neither do I—" Donovan's face was whipped to the side, the air knocked out of his lungs. He stumbled backwards."Donovan! Are you okay?!" Elise held out her arms, catching him."I'm fine," Donovan wiped the blood at the corner of his lips, casting a murderous glance at Kayden."Kayden, how could you hit him?!" Elise yelled."Isn't that what you want?! Is
"If you're jealous or resent me because of Kayden, then I—""Oh, shut up. It's not that. Honestly, I don't care who marries you or what. I came here to settle a score," Elise lifted her chin to look at the shameless couple who were currently towering over her.Despite towering over Elise, Jessica felt small. She didn't know why. Maybe it was the way Elise carried herself with confidence. Maybe it was the natural aura and noble temperament radiating from her. Or maybe it was the way she said that she came here to settle a score. What did she mean?Kayden had a lot of questions to ask Elise. But he wanted to know what she was talking about.Behind her, a man stepped up and handed her some white documents.Kayden's eyes darkened. He recognized him as the one who piggybacked Elise that day."Have a look at this, Miss Paige. If anyone was wondering where that bottle of aphrodisiac came from, here's the record. An anonymous bank account purchased it. Funny that it was linked to one of your
"Grandma, does this feel better?" "Hmm... Very. You're so skillful and talented," Elise let out a cheerful laugh, her eyes twinkling. "Thank you for your praise," "Do you have grandparents? Sorry if I'm being bothersome or rude," Naty su
Kayden was upset with his grandma, but he had no choice but to listen. After all, his grandma had taught him and saved his life before. He knew that she cared for him and was probably worried. However, he didn't agree with her decision to kick Jessica out. "Grandma, Jessica is the
"What?! Where do I have such money? You're my brother; you're supposed to do something! You have more money than me!" "I'm your brother, but I'm not your cleaner, and I'm not in charge of cleaning up every mess you make!" Kayden snapped. "Don't forget. The man's crippled for life. He lost his job
"How did this happen!?" Amanda shrieked, after watching the news on the TV. She flung the remote across the room. There were footage of James beating up someone at a club and videos of James kneeling and apologizing. "Elise just wants to bring me down, doesn't she?"
