LOGINDinner 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.
Damn! He's so cunning! He must be alerted already. Nevertheless, Elise didn't give up. Her fingers flew skillfully across the keyboard. Then she pulled out her tablet and typed something on it.Within seconds, the red light turned to green. Elise opened her drawer, revealing snacks and packets of sweet treats. She snacked on a lollipop as she hit the enter button, humming happily to herself.Kayden suddenly received a red alert that his computer and phone were hacked. The hacker had broken through his new defense system and antivirus software.His eyes nearly flew out of their sockets, fingers digging into his palms.H-how did this hacker manage to get past his security system?!Panic and anger shot through Kayden. He quickly called the IT engineers to fix it. The whole company was in a mess. However, they kept things under control and out of public eyes as they didn't want rumors to spread."Sir, this could be done by Kingsman a
It was Maria.Maria's eyes bulged when she saw them having breakfast together."Brother! Why are you having breakfast with this bitch?!"Elise sat languidly, not bothering with Maria. She sipped on the warm glass of milk, throwing Maria a lazy look."Maria, I didn't give you permission to enter," Kayden said in a warning tone."I've knocked, so there. Why are you having breakfast with her, Kayden?" Maria demanded. She came here to ask for his help to acquire an invitation to an event. She didn't expect to see this bitch here."As his sister, you're very rude," Elise casually said, popping a cherry into her mouth."And as his ex-wife, you're rude and nasty," Maria tilted her head to the side, mocking her."What I do with my ex-wife is none of your business. State your business and leave," Kayden said."Kayden, Y-you! Fine! Whatever! I came here for an invitation to the New York Fashion event," Maria said
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
He ran the photo of Donovan through one of his newly developed apps that hasn't been released to the public yet. Numerous faces slid across the screen while he observed Elise and Donovan. The two were laughing and touching each other intimately. Elise's hand was on his shoulder and arm. Then she p
Jackson got out of his car and ran towards the bar. He found the woman dancing with the two men. He turned her around. However, he was staring at a different face. This wasn't Elise. It was an older woman who had the same figure as Elise from behind. "Who are you? What do you want?
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
