FAZER LOGIN"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
"What? Why are you looking at me like that? I know I'm handsome, but I definitely won't steal your charm as the groom," Liam laughed teasingly. He didn't want things to become awkward between them because of the heartfelt words he had said before."Did you succeed with Elise?" Kayden's question stunned them."Huh?" Nathan looked at them."What? Elise? No. She knew what I'm up to and rejected me. Why are you asking this?" Liam narrowed his eyes."They say not to think about other women on your wedding day. It's not right and fair for your bride. You might get bad luck. Though it's just a superstition, many believe it," Nathan glanced at both of them.That sentence seemed like a stab in Kayden's side. Back then, he was thinking of Jessica when he hastily married Elise. And now, he was thinking of Elise when he's about to marry Jessica."Come on. Hurry up. The wedding starts in one hour. You don't want to miss it," Nathan hushed them along.Kayden was starting to believe that Elise reall
"I've learned that she has been donating fifteen million dollars every year to the Arden Organization. For eleven years, Grandma. She's...""Why are you so surprised? So what if she was rich and capable? Everything between the two of you is over," Naty replied matter-of-factly. She didn't seem surprised.Kayden was baffled by her tone. Usually, she would be trying to play matchmaker, forcing him and Elise to get together. But now, it seemed like she didn't care."Then why did she marry me?" Kayden asked."You have already heard the answer so many times. Do you need me to repeat, boy?""Grandma, who is she?" Kayden sat closer to her, his voice almost pleading. He didn't know why, but he felt this strong urge to get to know Elise. He wanted to know who the hell she was."Please,""Kayden, I won't say anything. Save your breath,""Why?" Kayden was perplexed. "I thought you always wanted me to know about her. Get to know her well,""That was before. Now that the two of you are divorced, h
At that time, Jessica purposely moaned extra loud to get Elise's attention. She wanted to show off how good Kayden made her feel. Back when Elise was still obsessed with Kayden, she never dared to retort when the Andersons humiliated her because she didn't want to make things hard for Kayden. She
"Hello, Uncle Josh, Aunt Sophie," Kayden shook their hands with more force than necessary. "Where's your wife? How come I don't see Elise around?" Josh asked, looking behind Kayden. During family gatherings like this, Kayden's relatives wouldn't hesitate to put Elise in her place and make fun of
All the eyes of the staff fell on Elise. Ava looked around but didn't see anything or anyone looking like a manager. Until she noticed that all the staff were looking in one direction.Elise? She was the manager?! How was that possible?"You? The manager? Can you even manage a h
Seems like he must go to Massachusetts if he wanted to know more about her. Then Kayden noticed Jackson giving him a funny look. "What are you looking at?" He narrowed his eyes at him. "Sir, are you interested in Miss Elise?" Jackson asked, hiding his smile. "No. I'm just interested in her
