Chapter 1206:

Hardy paused, then continued, “And lastly, I know you’re far from innocent. You’ve been involved with multiple men while your brother was away. In just one month, you were with eight different men. Don’t pretend you’re pure. The thought makes me sick.”

Amanda stared in shock. “You investigated me?”

“Naturally. Before agreeing to look after my friend’s sister, I made sure to do a thorough check. It’s just my professional habit and a form of respect toward you. Why are you so surprised?”

Hardy gave her a slight smile. “Now, stop putting on a show. Watching you act is tiring. I suggest you find a man to help relieve you quickly. If that cheap aphrodisiac isn’t dealt with, you’ll end up in serious trouble.”

Amanda’s face turned livid; her eyes burned with fury as if she wanted to tear Hardy apart, but he paid her no attention and walked away.

He didn’t care who Amanda chose. His priority was safeguarding Jayden and Elyse’s relationship. Hardy had no desire to let Amanda’s chaos come between them.

Hardy had just left when Amanda, hesitantly, knocked on the door several more times. Despite her persistence, there was no response from Jayden.

Overwhelmed by a growing desire, Amanda made a decisive move. She urgently needed a man to relieve her escalating urges. Without hesitation, she rushed off to reconnect with an old flame. In the cutthroat world of mercenaries, companionship was easy to find. Before Jayden entered her life, Amanda had regularly engaged with a dependable partner. In their high-risk environment, where tomorrow was never guaranteed, traditional morals often fell by the wayside.

Inside the room, as the knocking ceased, Jayden’s expression softened. He gently kissed away the tears on Elyse’s cheeks, treating her with reverence.

He whispered reassurances to Elyse. “Don’t shed another tear. We’ll cleanse ourselves of this turmoil. Tomorrow, I’ll confront Amanda. I’ll help you get your revenge.”

Elyse’s eyes, swollen and red, mirrored her agony. “Why is Amanda like this? What have we done to deserve this?”

Jayden held her close, soothing her worries. “Don’t torment yourself with such thoughts. Malevolence has no logic; it’s driven purely by selfish desires.”

As he comforted her, he enveloped her in his arms, guiding her to let go of her concerns and embrace the solace of their closeness.

He added, “Our immediate concern should be your comfort and my relief. Believe me, the torment of an aphrodisiac is far harsher for men.”
