NovelEnglishChapter 227:
Jayden had been intimate with Elyse on multiple occasions, leaving behind physical reminders of their
encounters. On the second day, Elyse’s menstrual cycle began. Feeling relieved, she quietly asked Jayden to give
her space over the next few days. To her surprise, he respected her request, showing more consideration than
usual.
Elyse was puzzled by Jayden’s changed behavior until she noticed Driscoll constantly talking to Jayden, who
seemed visibly frustrated. Understanding the influence behind his transformation, Elyse couldn't help but laugh.

A week passed, and the Celestial Sounds Symphony was on the verge of starting their tour. Many members were
new to such large-scale events, creating a palpably tense atmosphere, which Elyse also felt. She isolated herself
in a corner of the rehearsal room, practicing solo.
Vicky, strutting in with high heels and arms crossed, approached Elyse with an air of arrogance. Elyse looked up
into Vicky’s mocking gaze and asked calmly, “What do you want?”
“You've never performed on a big stage before, have you? Make sure you don’t dragdown during the tour. |
don’t need any blemishes on my record,” Vicky retorted with a smug smile, standing tall.
Despite Vicky's arrogance, Elyse responded coolly, “You should focus on your own performance instead of

Vicky snorted and replied disdainfully, “Don’t compareto you. I'll change into my stage dress later.”
Not wanting to prolong the conversation, Elyse dismissed Vicky with an icy demeanor. Delighted by Elyse’s
apparent irritation, Vicky hummed a tune and strutted away.
As Elyse packed her things before leaving, her phone rang. It was Mabel. Casually, Elyse answered, “What is it?
What do you need?”
Elyse, which room are you in right now? I'll cinside to see you,” Mabel replied cheerfully, sounding every bit
the caring sister.
Puzzled, Elyse asked, “Why are you around?”
“I've missed you, Elyse. | noticed a lounge here. I'll wait for you,” Mabel explained, without waiting for a
response, she quickly ended the call.
Elyse’s eyebrows knitted together; something felt off. She grabbed her purse and headed towards the lounge
with a sense of foreboding. Mabel was perched in a corner of the lounge and walked over to Elyse as she
entered. Removing her sunglasses, she pointed to the empty seat across from her and smiled warmly. “Elyse, it's
been a while. Please sit down. | got this coffee for you.”
Elyse’s eyebrows arched as she sat, surveying Mabel. The last tthey had met was because of Theo, and later
Elyse heard from Glenda that Theo had sent Mabel home. Since then, Elyse hadn't given much thought to Mabel,
not considering their relationship close enough to share a casual coffee. Eyeing the coffee suspiciously, she
doubted Mabel’s intentions were purely altruistic. Elyse decided to cut to the chase, opting not to touch the
coffee. “What do you want to talk about?” she asked directly.
Mabel flipped her bangs and adopted a softer tone. “Elyse, do you have to be so formal with me?”
Elyse’s expression darkened with impatience. “What is it that you're trying to say?”
Mabel responded with earnestness, her large eyes conveying sincerity. “I know we haven't been close, but we
are still sisters, aren't we? Can't you put aside your judgments and just talk toopenly?”
Despite Mabel’s seemingly genuine plea, Elyse felt more certain that Mabel was up to no good. Deciding to play
along, Elyse softened her tone artificially and mirrored Mabel’s sentiment. “It's good to hear you say that. You've
really matured.”
At this, a flicker of cunning appeared in Mabel’s eyes, and her cheerful facade briefly slipped. With a tone of
sorrow, she said, “Elyse, I've made mistakes in the past. | didn’t take my career seriously. Now | find myself shut
out from the entertainment industry.”
Feigning surprise, Elyse probed, “Really? But the scandal from before seems forgotten. Why can’t you return to
the entertainment industry?”
Mabel shook her head, her expression full of distress. “I don’t know. | feel so trapped. If | can’t make a comeback
as a singer, what am | supposed to do?” With these words, she squeezed out a tear and grasped Elyse’s hand
