LOGINWhy did she look so sad? Liam wondered. He followed her gaze to the children. She was looking at the kids with love and something else that Liam didn't know how to describe.Liam's stomach grumbled loudly. He flashed her a mischievous, boyish grin.Elise shook her head. "Follow me,"Liam watched by the side as Elise and a few other volunteers cooked the food. She served the food to the children and finally to Liam."For me?" Liam's eyes twinkled at the sight of the mouthwatering food. The aroma was making his stomach cry loudly."To thank you for helping out. I know you don't do these kinds of things," Elise sat down at the simple table and began to eat.Liam snapped a quick photo of it and posted it to his IG story with a quick caption.[The food cooked by beauty is simply wonderful!]To be honest, he had never eaten such simple food before. His meals were mainly prepared by five-star Michelin chefs. Liam cut the meat and swallowed it with the gravy. His eyes nearly rolled to heaven.
"Kayden, how does this dress look?" Jessica came out in a beautiful dress with frills and tulle.Kayden looked up and his throat bobbed. Something flashed across his eyes. Jessica saw his expression and her mood brightened. So this was the kind of dress that he liked."We'll take this dress," she said to the staff.What she didn't know was that that was not the reason why Kayden looked at her like this. Before she came out of the dressing room, he was looking at the photo Liam sent him.Elise was wearing a long white dress in the photo. Liam had secretly snapped a photo of her from behind, making it look insta-worthy. She had a faint smile on her face from where she looked over her shoulder.He was instantly reminded of their wedding. Naty had forced him to prepare for a wedding and marry her grandly. He went against Naty and tried to chase Elise away. However, Naty took Elise's side.He remembered that there was a wedding photo of them. Where was it now? Kayden had a blurry memory of
Dinner was filled with Maria's irritating complaints and curses at Elise. Kayden couldn't take Maria's foul language."Stop calling her a bitch," he said coldly."Why? Isn't she a cheap bitch? Look at how many times she attacked and bullied me," Maria spat, banging her cutlery on the table. Tonight, she was in an extremely ugly mood."It's not right to scold her when she's done nothing wrong," Kayden said without thinking. His eyes widened slightly at how those words easily slipped from his mouth. Why did it seem like he was standing up for her?"Why can't we scold Elise, Kayden? This was obviously planned by her," Amanda asked, noticing that her son was acting different."Why would she frame herself? The cameras have the evidence in black and white," Kayden said."Even so, it must be some kind of trick. Who knows if she had an accomplice. Maybe it was Ellison who helped her,""Ellison wouldn't do such a thing,"
Just then, Jessica suddenly tripped and bumped into Maria's side, causing her to drop the bottle into the punch bowl."Oh my! I'm so sorry!" Jessica nearly fell to the floor had it not been for Elise, who held her arm."Be careful, Miss Paige," Elise said. There was a faint eerie smile on her lips that made Jessica gulp. From up close, even if she didn't want to admit it, Jessica had to admit that Elise did look beautiful and charming.Jessica quickly straightened herself and thanked Elise, distancing herself from her. She came to know that Elise wasn't the docile and polite housewife from the past. Jessica was afraid that Elise might have a trick up her sleeve."The bottle is gone. What do we do?" someone asked."Easy," Elise snapped her fingers. She had already seen through their actions and sighed. Now, all the evidence pointed to her. If she wanted to clear her name, it was going to be hard.The Glasshouse had a big digital s
"You look beautiful today," Liam praised."Don't I look beautiful every day?" she replied sharply, radiating an icy aura."Of course. Why not? You look like a Goddess,""If I look like a Goddess, don't you think everyone should pray and worship me?" She casually swirled the red wine in her glass, her beautiful eyes regarding them with feline laziness."Of course—""If that's so, then won't I be the laughingstock of the world? You two might as well go to church or the hospital to get your brains checked,"Liam and Nathan were surprised by her answer. Which woman didn't want people to treat her nicely and worship her?"Uh... That's not what I meant," Liam chuckled to ease the tension.Nathan cleared his throat, indicating that it was his turn."Miss Thatcher, they're dancing in the next room. May I have this honor?" Nathan flashed his most charming smile at her."Sure," Elise put down her glass.
Jessica's eyes trembled. Why was he asking this? Did Elise tell him something? Sweat rolled down her spine and her fingers tightened."I-I don't know. I'm not sure. I was also feeling a little dizzy at that time," Jessica replied.She quickly changed the subject, knowing that Kayden would ask her more questions."What's that on your desk, Kayde? It looks ominous,""Just some rubbish," Kayden replied, thinking of Elise and how to teach her a lesson. Although it sounded out of character and unlike him, Kayden didn't care."Isn't that from Elise? She's the only one who would call you that. Why did she send you a coat and a shirt?" Jessica wasn't giving up. She still wanted to know why."Don't bother about her. Jessie, are you free this afternoon?" Kayden asked her out for lunch to distract himself from the problem of his weak security system and network."Yes, I am," Jessica was overjoyed, hearing him take the initiative.
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
"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?"
"Kayden, Jessica suddenly fainted! She also vomited!" Mrs. Paige cried out worriedly, sobbing and sniffing. "Where is she?" Kayden asked, sprinting back to his car. "In the hospital! I'm worried that she has some incurable disease. You know how weak her body is," "I'll be right there," he hung u
"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
