LOGIN"What? Elise, are you here to cause trouble? Why do you always like to make things hard for me? You've already murdered my baby. I haven't settled matters with you over this," Jessica said, glaring at Elise.She wanted to leave because she was afraid that they might trace the scorpion and the waiter back to her. Although she had Jack's help to delete the camera footages of her walking to the table where the scorpions were placed on, there were still witnesses—such as the waiter.Due to anger, she didn't plan it out properly and did things on short notice."Are you sure I murdered your baby, Jessica? You don't look like you're in grief over your child—not depressed, stressed, or sad. I think you look fairly healthy. Were you even pregnant in the first place?" Elise asked."Don't twist facts!" Jessica yelled, leaning forward in her wheelchair as if she wanted to jump out and claw at Elise's face.Elise just chuckled at her expression. Jessica realized what she was laughing about—her los
"Gotcha," Elise's fingers flew across the screen skillfully. She managed to pull up records of Jessica's messages and calls. Elise dug through her phone but couldn't find anything significant."There isn't much. If yes, she must have deleted them. Wait a minute... You guys... Aren't you going to tell Jessica and Kayden about what I'm doing?" Elise asked, wondering why the two of them seemed very supportive of her."Why should we? Kayden suspects that Jessica isn't as simple as she portrayed herself to be,""Yeah. Take a look at this," Liam showed the photos of Jessica's passports to Elise.All words left Elise's head as she stared at the photos of Jessica's passports.What the hell?!What was this?! Why did Jessica have so many passports with fake identities?"Ever since that drugging incident, Kayden has been suspecting her. It's so hard to get ahold of Jessica's phone. Kayden tried to distract her and install a spy app into her phone but she seems protective of her phone," Liam said
"There's a toxin on this flower. I think this was what attracted the scorpion here," Elise said loudly.Hearing that, Jessica's heart skipped a beat. She schooled her expression and gazed at Kayden. During the whole incident, he didn't even glance at her one time let alone ask if she was okay. He didn't even come to her rescue."No wonder it followed you around," Liam appeared, striding into the hall. He winked at Elise. Liam had witnessed everything. He now knew that Kayden was in love with Elise. But it was either he didn't know it or refused to admit it."But who would place it here?"A faint memory flashed across her mind.A waiter placing the plant here. On everyone's table, there was a plant.Elise turned to Ellison. "The waiters. Interrogate them,"Nodding, Ellison pulled out his phone and typed something.Jessica saw that Elise and Ellison were taking actions. Sneakily, she pulled out her phone and sent a text to Jack to delete all the camera footages and get rid of the waiter
"Your earring is pretty," Damien licked his lips. He gazed so intensely at her as if he wanted to eat her up on the spot. Elise's heart skipped a beat and she swore that the temperature seemed to be increasing.This guy was crazy. He had bitten her ear."Y-you..." Elise was lost for words, her heart running amok in her chest. She pushed him away, nearly running to the hall. Behind her, she heard him chuckle."Elise, why are you blushing?" Ellison asked when he saw her stride back into the hall."Huh? What? No, I think it's because the weather's hot. That's all," Elise muttered, feeling conscious of her appearance.Damn guy. Why did he have to bite her... And why did she feel like this?"Everyone! Let's welcome the world's top fashion and jewellery designers!" The host announced, standing on a medium-sized stage. The crowd burst out in applause. All eyes were on the stage as a few women and men stood before them.Jessica was excited to see the top fashion and jewellery designers. She h
"This is for you, Jessica. You look thin," Elise smiled.Jessica looked at her suspiciously. What was Elise up to? She couldn't have poisoned the croissant, right? There were so many people around them.Jessica took a croissant from the basket. Suddenly, the basket slipped out of Elise's grip! The croissants dropped on Jessica's lap, dirtying her five-thousand-dollar gown."Ah!" Jessica yelped, shocked."Oh my! Sorry!" Elise quickly bent down and picked up the croissants one by one, putting them into the basket. Along the way, she purposely touched and pressed Jessica's legs, feeling her bone."What are you?!" Jessica felt the pressure of Elise's fingers and panicked."An accident. I'm very sorry," Elise said, feigning an apology.However, Kayden clearly saw Elise touching Jessica's legs. From his angle and where he was standing, he could see every action Elise did. Did she suspect something? He needed to talk to her alone."You..." Jessica reeled in her anger and slapped on her signa
"Dad," Elise sighed. "It's me. It's my fault. I made them keep it a secret because I didn't want you to worry,""What secret is it?"Elise had no choice but to tell him. With Bernard's nature, he'd pester them every day and night for it."Someone hired a hitman to kill and rape me,""What??!" Bernard's eyes nearly flew out of their sockets, his face ghastly pale."What happened?! Did he manage to? He better not! I'll teach him a lesson! Where's the bastard?!" Bernard went to the sports cupboard, snatching up a wooden bat and marched to the gates."Dad! Calm down!" Edward called, reaching out to stop him. Donovan blocked the gate with his body."Dad! It's the middle of the night. Where can you find the mastermind? Nik already caught the hitman and beat him up until he screamed for his mom,""Dad, everything's handled well. We just haven't found the mastermind. It was Damien who saved me," Elise said, taking the scary bat away from him.She passed it to Ellison, who quickly put it back
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
"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
"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
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
