LOGINRealization struck Kayden. His lips curled up into a smile."Sir... Why are you smiling?" Jackson asked. Had his boss lost his mind?"Nothing. Get to work," Kayden quickly steeled his expression.He understood what had happened and how Damien had outbid him for the piece of land. There was one person who was always hanging around Damien.Elise had once managed the Anderson Group in his stead. Kayden was angry yet intrigued. His ex-wife did have some hidden abilities.Meanwhile, in her office, Elise knew and understood Kayden's style of working. She had read through all his reports and documents to familiarize herself with the company. Naturally, she knew the amount of money he was going to bid. She had just made a guess and offered some advice to Damien. Damien understood her and went forward without hesitation.In return, he gave her more than half the rights to developing the land."Damien is really generous. He gave you more than half the rights!""I thought we agreed on half?" Eli
Kayden watched as Damien took hold of Elise's hand, pulling her with him. The two of them brushed past him.His heart squeezed in on itself. Why... did he feel like this? What was wrong with his heart? He obviously loved Jessica. Yet he couldn't help but show up in front of Elise with the thoughts of seeing her face."Sir, why aren't you eating dinner at home?" Jackson asked. Kayden was seated in his office with a plate of simple steak and vegetables."The food at home isn't good," he replied. To get his mind off Elise, he decided to work overtime.In fact, all the food he had tasted seemed odd and unappetizing.Jackson made a face behind his back that said 'I know what you're thinking of'. Kayden was thinking of Elise's cooking. She used to be a dedicated housewife, taking care of him like he was a king."Should I hire a new chef for you?" Jackson knew that he was a picky eater."No need. It's just food," Kayden replied. Suddenly he remembered one time he stayed up late in his study
As the days passed, Elise had three men pursuing her. They showed up at her office, at the medical college, and at her villa.Nowadays, Elise had Penelope bring her lunch to her office. She was afraid of bumping into them along the way.The romantic one, Liam, presented her with flowers every day, along with gifts of various items such as cosmetics, skincare, luxurious limited edition dresses, and even a sports car.Nathan, the gentleman who was like everyone's next-door neighbor, would send thoughtful notes and small tokens of appreciation.Whilst the mysterious weirdo slash pervert, as Elise called Damien, would often appear in her office or house, cooking for her.Elise tried to hide from them, dodge them, and make up all kinds of excuses. It was easy to shrug off Nathan and Liam, but Damien was harder. It seemed like all her tricks didn't work on him. She tried to frighten him by acting like a nutcase, but he seemed to think it was cute. In fact, anything she did was cute to him.
"That's right," Elise replied, much to Jessica's shock. Who would agree that they are dirty, filthy trash?"Dirty, filthy trash are people who steal others' partners, right? In that case, aren't you one as well?" Elise calmly replied. She reached out a hand, drawing circles in a slow and threatening manner on Jessica's chest."You!" Jessica's nostrils flared."Shush. There are so many people watching. You don't want to lose face, hmm?""One day, I promise, one day I'll make you beg and lick my shoes!" Jessica shoved her hand away with disgust."Ooh, interesting. I'll be waiting then," Elise laughed. She waved Jessica goodbye as she stomped off."Way to go chasing a bitch off," a voice sounded behind her.Elise turned and saw Liam and Nathan, who were leaning against the pillar, their poses exuding a boyish charm. They must have witnessed everything.She glared at the guards and the receptionist."Next time, don't let them in without my permission,""Yes, miss," the guards and receptio
Elise chose to ignore Kayden. She turned off the lights, closed the curtains, and went to bed, pulling the blanket up to her chin. She didn't want to bother about him anymore. No more. She had spent her youth chasing a love that was so foolish."Elise, can't we be friends?!" Kayden shouted.Friends? Elise heard him loud and clear, but she pretended to be asleep. No, she didn't want to be friends with a man who had cheated on her. She had promised herself not to stoop so low."Elise!"He called and called, but she didn't reply. Kayden gave one final look at her window, slowly turned, and walked back to his car. He returned to his mansion, shrugging off the wet jacket. What was going on with him? Why did his heart thump so painfully, as if he had lost something important?Jessica had witnessed it all. K-Kayden was in love with Elise?! How!? Why?! How could this happen?! He hated her, despised her, and even divorced her. How did things become like this?!She crept back to her room, resis
"I just want some money. Take it as the fees for being a parent, right? Can't you at least be more responsible?" Jack persuaded.Jessica was close to smashing her phone against the wall!One of the reasons why she went overseas was because she was pregnant! She had sex with her ex-boyfriend, Jack, overseas. Jessica didn't want to abort the child for fear that she might not be able to give birth in the future. She still wanted to have Kayden's child so that she could control the Anderson family, have their assets and wealth in her hands."Jack, ten million is a lot. Give me some time. In the meantime, don't think of threatening me by using Kayden or calling him. If not, you won't get your money,""I'll be waiting. Bye, Jessie," Jack crooned, his voice causing Jessica to cringe.Once the call was over, Jessica couldn't stop pacing her room back and forth. She needed to get rid of the child and—The thing is, she didn't know whether the child was male or female. She also didn't know how
"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 an
"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
