LOGINElise and Ellison went their separate ways. Both of them had their own business to attend to. She went to meet with logistics companies and discuss new cooperation with them.Days passed. Elise busied herself with running her company, training her workers, and getting business opportunities in Massachusetts. Nowadays, it was hard for people to cooperate with a new business like hers. They didn't have much trust in her. Therefore, she decided to go to social events to meet and find potential clients.Usually, she doesn't attend social events or parties. But for the sake of her career, she was willing.In addition, Elise decided to go for medical classes. She could have gone abroad to further her studies, but she didn't because Kayden was in the States. She realized how foolish she was, holding back her career because of a man. A man who would never love her.By the end of every day, she was so tired that she fell asleep on her couch or her bed without taking off her shoes."Let's go ha
"Elise, give me your hand!" He tried to take her wrist, but she wanted to shove the child into his hand. He just needed to swing himself a little, then he might be able to save her."The child! Take the child first! You can't pull both of us up! It's gonna break!" Elise cried. Rain started to pour down on them, making the ground slippery and the surface of the tree."I'm scared!" The little girl started to cry."Don't be scared. Don't be scared. He'll save you. Nothing is going to happen. I promise," Elise coaxed the child.Liam leaned over the slope, stretching his arm out to grab her. His muscles ached terribly. Suddenly, the tree trunk snapped!Elise screamed along with the child."No!" Liam jumped towards them, grabbing her outstretched hand. He let out a sigh of relief.Tears slipped down her cheeks. Her heart pounded in her chest. The child in her right hand started to bawl loudly."Hold tightly, Elise. I won't let anything happen to you," Liam grunted. It was a pity that he nev
Why 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
"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
No hello or sweet greetings. No word of concern either. He always got straight to the point, cold and rude like he couldn't wait to hang up. It was like she was some virus that he couldn't wait to avoid."Aren't you forgetting what I said yesterday?" Elise asked."What?" He sounded impatient.Elise
Since when did Elise start to talk to them in that tone? Elise had never spoken back to them whenever they reprimanded or forced her to do something. So why was she acting different today?Jessica was sure that Elise was just pretending. After all, Elise was so obsessed and crazy about Kayden. She
