NovelEnglishChapter 752:
Edward's response was a light chuckle, his eyes twinkling with a competitive glow.
Outside the lively restaurant, a car had been idling by the curb for stime.
Aarya, seated within the vehicle, peered through binoculars at Elyse. Noticing Elyse’s cheerful demeanor, she
inquired with a grin, “Did Jayden really show up to watch his ex-wife compete?”
Her black-suited bodyguard responded with due respect, “Indeed. My sources also mentioned that he vanished
for an hour at the concert hall. He was later seen getting into his car and driving off.”
A sly, almost predatory smile played on Aarya’s lips. “Fascinating. Any idea what Jayden was up to during that
missing hour?”
The bodyguard hesitated, then offered, “It’s unclear, but it’s unlikely he cheated on you.”

Aarya’s expression cooled. “And why would you say that?”
He elaborated, “Because his ex-wife seems untouched, and speople even went into her lounge during that
hour.”
A trace of shock flickered across Aarya’s features. “That's unexpected. Still, the fact remains he attended his ex-
wife's event.”
The bodyguard speculated. “Perhaps he still harbors feelings for her. From what I've seen, he is a considerate
and sophisticated man—concern for his ex wouldn't be out of character, given his responsible nature.”
Aarya’s voice was firm. “I know that, but I can’t allow him any emotional ties to her.”

A sinister grin then spread across her face as a plan seemed to form in her mind. “Maybe | can help him ‘resolve’
this lingering attachment.”
After dining with her friends, Elyse headed back to her hotel room to unwind.
As she lay on the bed, thoughts of Edward’s words at dinner echoed in her mind, leaving her fraught with
anxiety.
Could Geraldine indeed pose a serious hurdle to her ambitions?
After a lengthy bout of reflection yielded no clarity, Elyse resolved to inquire about Geraldine’s past from Gavin
the following day.
Just then, her phone erupted with a ring.
Glancing at the screen and spotting an unknown number, Elyse promptly dismissed the call and burrowed under
her covers, eager to forget the interruption and sleep. Yet, the phone insistently rang again.

This time, she eyed the number, wavered for a brief moment, and ultimately decided to answer.
With a trace of irritation, she demanded, “Who is this?”
“Hello, Elyse,” the familiar voice on the other end replied. It was Aarya.
The sound of Aarya’s voice triggered a rush of guilt in Elyse.
Composing herself, she pressed on, “How did you find my number? Have you been looking into me?”
“Getting your phone number was easy,” Aarya remarked casually. She then added abruptly, “By the way, | need
to discuss something important with you.”
Elyse’s brow furrowed. “What's up?”
Aarya’s voice carried a hint of trouble. “It’s nothing serious. I'm just here alone at a club, feeling a bit lonely.
Could you cover and keepcompany?”
Remembering Edward's earlier caution, Elyse hesitated, then responded, “Sorry, it’s late, and I'd rather not go
out. Maybe you should head hinstead of staying out drinking.”
