Chapter 636:
Cody looked at Fiona and immediately understood what had happened. His head spun, and he murmured, “Easy
there,” as Morgan, who had been right behind Cody, quickly stepped up to support him.
Gavin, lingering at the back, had no idea what had transpired. He swiftly moved forward to stand beside Elyse
and saw the scene unfolding inside.
In a frantic state, Fiona attempted to fix her clothes, which only made things worse. It took a while before she
managed to cover herself up.
Gripping the desk with trembling hands, Fiona looked up to meet Gavin's cold face. Quivering, she asked, “Gavin,
why are you all here?”
Gavin's lips curled into a sardonic smile. “If we hadn’t shown up, how would we have discovered your audacity to
try and seduce Elyse’s husband?”

Fiona forced a smile. “This is all a misunderstanding. It’s not what it looks like. There's nothing between Jayden
and me.”
She turned to Jayden with desperate hope in her eyes. “Right, Jayden? Tell them there's nothing going on
between us.”
Jayden pointed to a surveillance camera in the corner of the ceiling and said, “It’s your first tin my office, so
you wouldn't know it's under constant surveillance. Every word and action of yours has been recorded. | can’t
vouch for your innocence, but mine is crystal clear.”
“Surveillance?” Fiona looked up in panic, noticing the cameras in all four corners of the room. Fearfully, she
stammered, “Why would you install cameras?”

Jayden sneered. “If | hadn't, what's to stop others from swiping company secrets while I'm not around?”
Fiona was speechless. She had thought of many excuses to defend herself, but deep down, she knew that once
Jayden showed the footage, her defense would crumble.
After a brief struggle, Fiona finally gave in. With a heavy heart, she turned to Elyse, who had been silently
watching the whole time. Unable to meet Elyse’s scrutinizing gaze, Fiona lowered her eyes and said softly,
“Elyse, if you have something to say, just say it. | can handle it.”
Elyse tilted her head, a smile playing on her lips. “Fiona, do you wantto scold you so you can feel less
guilty?”
Fiona avoided Elyse’s eyes, too scared to respond. Elyse looked away and spoke slowly. “When you cto my
house last tand offered to accompanyfor my prenatal checkup, something felt off. You seemed overly
concerned about my husband. | didn’t want you to cto the hospital with me, but you insisted.”
After a tense pause, Elyse’s voice turned icy as she asked, “Fiona, on the day I lost my baby, did you purposely
choose not to save me, waiting forto lose my baby?”
Fiona’s lip quivered as she bit down on it, her clenched fists betraying her fear.

Elyse continued, “You must have been over the moon when | lost my child, right?”
Gavin stood there in shock, unable to fathom that Fiona had done it intentionally. In utter disbelief, he questioned
Fiona, “Elyse is your violin practice partner, your friend. How could you stand by and watch her lose her child?”
Filled with bitterness, Fiona replied, “Because | love him too. He's handsome, wealthy, and kind. Why couldn't |
have him? What makes you better than me?”
Jayden stood up, his expression cold. “You're out of your mind comparing yourself to Elyse. How do you even
measure up to her? With your ordinary looks?”
Fiona, stung by Jayden’s harsh words, stared at him with a mix of emotions. “Is Elyse really that amazing in your
eyes? Why would you go to such lengths for her?”
Jayden, perplexed, asked, “Stupid questions. In your mind, should | treat you well instead of her? Who do you
think you are?”
Gavin, finding Fiona’s words absurd, chimed in, “Do you think you can just claim any man you fancy, regardless
of whether he has a partner? How is your behavior any different from that of a mistress?”
Fiona, momentarily stunned, quickly retorted, “You don’t get it. Jayden and | had a special connection. It's
destiny. We belong together.”
