NovelEnglishChapter 497:
As soon as Elyse’s eyes landed on Corrie, her mood soured.
Yet, something felt off to her. The news of Jayden’s accident couldn't have traveled so quickly.
Peyton, who had arrived shortly after the incident, had surely kept it under wraps and hadn't let slip that Jayden
was hurt.

Yet, Corrie, who hadn't been in touch with any of them, seemed somehow in the know about Jayden’s condition.
Furthermore, Corrie had shown up a mere ten minutes after Jayden was wheeled out of surgery.
Piecing these observations together, suspicion towards Corrie began to creep into Elyse’s thoughts.
As Corrie moved slowly towards Jayden'’s bedside, Elyse intercepted her just in time.

Corrie, blinking, looked visibly annoyed and said, “What's this about? Jayden and | go way back. Why can't |
check on him?”
Elyse, though pale, held a steely look in her eyes. Her voice was firm and commanding as she responded, “You're
not welchere. Please leave.”
Corrie attempted to muster a smile, “I'm not just Jayden’s former flbut also his cousin's future wife. Why are
you blocking me? We're practically family.”
Elyse scoffed, “You're not even married to Brook yet. How can you claim to be part of the family? Even if you've
married Brook, you'll need my permission to enter.”
Corrie kept up her strained smile. “There's no need to be so cold. You're starting to act like Jayden. Did he rub off
on you?”
Elyse replied icily, “I've always been this way. Please leave now, or I'll have to be unpleasant.”
“Fine, I'll leave!” Angered and unwilling to engage further, Corrie stormed off. But as she reached the ward's
door, she paused and turned back to face Elyse.
With an odd smirk, Corrie said, “Elyse, | just saw you at the Gynecology and Obstetrics Department taking a
check. Are you pregnant?”
Elyse’s expression grew even stormier. “My personal affairs are none of your concern. Just keep to yourself.”
Corrie gazed at Elyse’s abdomen, her smile lingering. “Fine. | won't pry. But | still wish you all the best. May you
have a safe delivery.”
A flash of malice sparked in Corrie’s eyes. She bowed her head, masking her emotions, and hurriedly exited the
hospital room.
Once Corrie had actually departed, Elyse let out a sigh of relief and sank into a chair to collect herself.
The moment Corrie entered, a wave of dread had washed over her, sending goosebumps cascading across her
skin.

out his phone to catch up on the day’s headlines.
Besides the usual financial updates, he found himself drawn to the entertainment section, especially since Elyse
had made it to the final of a competition.
Curious, Theo typed Elyse’s ninto the search bar and discovered a slew of articles about her.
The headlines were eye-catching, and he clicked on one at random. His smile broadened when he read that Elyse
had clinched first place in the finals.
As he continued scrolling, Theo learned that Elyse had faced sfoul play during the competition, orchestrated
by Freda.
Recalling his last unpleasant encounter with Freda, Theo realized she held a grudge against him. What he hadn't
anticipated was her directing that resentment toward Elyse.
