Chapter 1075: Noveldrama

Elyse immediately opened her eyes and shot Jayden a wary glare, clutching the comforter tightly. “Don’t try anything!” she exclaimed nervously.

Jayden settled into the bed. “Catch me up on your life. My phone was destroyed, and I haven’t had a chance to get a new one, so I couldn’t reach out.”

Elyse’s expression turned sorrowful. “So much has happened. Because of the bounty you offered, I haven’t had a single peaceful moment.”

Jayden responded, “Just because you’ve had no peace doesn’t mean it’s all bad. I know Edward is looking out for you, and those greedy folks will handle any serious threats.”

Elyse sighed. “Yes, it’s all part of your plan.” She added softly, “Mabel is gone, along with that jerk, too.”

Jayden expressed surprise. “Mabel is gone?”

Elyse questioned, “You’re surprised about Kaelyn’s death?”

Jayden nodded. “Indeed. I looked into her. Her whole background was fabricated. She was an orphan from a secretive organization, whose members were known only by code names. I’m still unclear about whom they serve. Kaelyn was a minor figure; her passing won’t affect them. In fact, they’ll probably just find someone to replace her soon.”

Curious, Elyse inquired, “Won’t they look into Kaelyn’s demise?”

Jayden explained, “For someone like Kaelyn, being taken out by rivals is routine. They just need another operative. The details of her death are irrelevant.”

Elyse fell silent before asking, “How did you come by this information? Even Theo couldn’t find it.”

Jayden responded, “It’s just something I figured out.”

Elyse looked at him, puzzled.

Jayden shrugged. “Alright, I dealt with someone from Kaelyn’s group. I expected some kind of backlash, but so far, nothing.”

Elyse pursed her lips. “It’s quite tragic. Once they’re gone, it’s as if they were never here.”

Jayden responded, “But you’ll never forget them, right? Kaelyn and Mabel still upset you.”

Elyse closed her eyes. Jayden could see through her silence. “Someone as compassionate as you would naturally take care of Mabel’s body, wouldn’t you? How did you manage it? Did you bring her ashes back to be buried next to Glenda?”

Elyse sighed. “Yes, I did. I enlisted Theo’s help. We brought Mabel’s ashes back for burial.”
