After that, everything she owns will be ours." Natalie's brow furrowed. "I'm just worried Linden might not have the guts to do it." Elyse threw her head back, laughing. “Oh, he will. He knows the consequences if he doesn't." Her gaze lingered on her daughter, noting the striking resemblance to Daniela. "And when Cedric's heart shatters over losing his beloved wife, he'll marry you. Before long, Daniela's and Cedric's fortunes will be yours. You'll have everything you ever dreamed of!"

Elyse welcomed them with lavish hospitality, pouring fine wine as if it grew on trees.
Gathered around a grand table, the reporters courteously interviewed Elyse.
"Ms. Dury, can you confirm if your information is accurate? Is Daniela truly cheating on Cedric?" Elyse nodded solemnly, feigning regret. "I couldn't believe it myself at first. A close friend, an executive here, saw it firsthand and told me. It's unfortunate for the family. But I suppose it's understandable. Daniela lost her mother at a young age, grew up without parental guidance, and endured long-term abuse from her stepmother, Katrina.

Is that true?" Discover more on galnovsElyse sighed tically. "Yes. I was the one who introduced the doctor to her. The guilt eats at me." She put on her best sincere face.

I know you're all reporters, but please, I ask that you don't write anything misleading." The reporters exchanged knowing glances, nodding in agreement. "Of course." But one reporter frowned. "When I was at Elite Lux for an interview, I saw Linden. He looked particularly unappealing. Why would Daniela be interested in him? Is there more to this than you're letting on?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElyse's expression stiffened, but she quickly masked any sign of anger in Le front of the reporters.
With a smile, Elyse responded, "There's no hidden story. They were constantly exchanging glances at the company. I couldn't even bear to watch them."
The reporter wasn't convinced. "Considering Daniela's taste in men, I doubt she'd fall for Linden. With her current status, finding @handsman would be a breeze. So why him?" The reporter pulled out his phone, showing a picture of Linden. "Look, everyone, here's Linden. And this photo is clearly photoshopped. He looks much worse in person."
