Chapter 395:
Elyse instinctively wanted to apologize, but she knew Theo wouldn't want to hear it. Instead, she turned away to
avoid him. After calming down, Theo realized he’d lost his cool. He cared about how Elyse saw him but couldn't
find the words. They sat in uncomfortable silence.

Arriving at their destination, they got out and walked to the police station in silence. A policeman eventually

complexion pale, and her expression hardened. As Elyse approached, Theo's voice cfrom behind. “Don’t
worry, I'll be right here.” Without replying, she stepped forward.
When Kaelyn saw her, a smile crept across her lips, sarcastic, mocking, and almost pitiful. Elyse met her gaze
expressionlessly. “I just want to ask you one question.” Kaelyn’s smile was strained. “What is it?” “Why did you
try to killso many times?” Elyse finally asked. “Do | need a reason to want you dead?” Kaelyn responded
defiantly. “Don’t you?” Elyse pressed. “You really chere just to askthat? Don’t you want to know any of
Jayden'’s secrets?” Kaelyn countered. “No, | don’t,” Elyse replied without hesitation.
Surprised, Kaelyn’s expression darkened. “Elyse, you know what? That's why | hate you so much. I'm jealous of
you. Maybe the only thing that will calm my jealousy is your death.” “If that’s your reason for wantingdead,
then you're too unremarkable to hold my interest,” Elyse said flatly. Kaelyn fixed her gaze on Elyse. “You've
really changed. You dare to defynow.” Elyse had expected Kaelyn to confide in her, but the conversation felt
disappointingly dull. She regretted coming.
As she stood up to leave, Kaelyn suddenly called her name. Elyse turned around. “See you next time, Elyse,”
Kaelyn said. But Elyse ignored her. She found Kaelyn to be paranoid, even a little unhinged. Stepping out of the
room, Theo asked, “What did Kaelyn say to you?” “A bunch of bullshit,” Elyse said flatly. Checking her phone, she
saw that her driver had arrived. She hurried to meet him.

Seeing this, Theo called after her, “Letdrive you home.” “No thanks. The driver is already here,” Elyse
replied, brushing off the offer. “Do you really have to do this?” Theo’s smile was strained, his eyes filled with
helplessness. Elyse paused and looked back at him. “It’s better this way. Stop being stubborn. Let's move on.”
Theo stood frozen, staring sadly at her retreating figure. He wanted to move on but couldn't bring himself to.
They were going in different directions, yet his eyes remained locked on her, unable to focus on the path ahead,
knowing she was the one he wanted to follow. Elyse quickly slipped into the car to avoid him.
Seated inside, she started to text Jayden, but a message from him suddenly popped up: “Pickup at this
address.”
