Chapter 1261:

As Elyse and Jayden stepped out of the Moon Palace into the evening, Elyse glanced up at him. “If you team up with Louise, will that mean I’ll get to see her more often?”

Jayden gave a gentle nod. “Yes, there will be plenty of chances for that—many more than you might expect.”

The morning after their dinner, Jayden informed Elyse that the recent ceasefire had led to a surge in travelers, making it impossible to secure an early flight. They were now scheduled to fly back in four days.

Considering the delay, Elyse reflected for a moment before deciding it wasn’t too troublesome. She resolved to return home in four days.

Later that day, she texted Pearce. He couldn’t hide his excitement when he read her message. Learning that Elyse would soon be back in Lesbourg, he eagerly suggested throwing a welcome-back party for her.

Caught off guard by his enthusiasm, Elyse urged him to keep the celebration modest.

After ending the call, Darren approached her. “Fiona’s heading to prison!” he blurted.

Startled, Elyse responded, “Prison? Are things really that bad?”

Darren pulled out his phone and showed her the news. “There have been past incidents, and they’ve just linked Fiona to them. She could really end up behind bars.”

Elyse hadn’t anticipated such a drastic turn of events. She asked, “What can we do now?”

Shaking his head, Darren sighed deeply. “Nothing can be done at this point. She broke the law, and they have the evidence. She’s definitely facing jail time.”

Sitting down heavily on the bed, Elyse felt overwhelmed.

Just then, her phone rang; it was Gavin.

She answered quickly, “Hey, Gavin, what’s going on?”

“Get over to the police station. I’m sending you the details,” Gavin said briskly before hanging up.

Elyse hurriedly changed and left with Darren.

When they arrived, they saw Irving was already there.

Rushing over to him, Elyse, who hadn’t seen him in a while, felt a rush of old emotions. She asked, “Irving, how have you been?”

Irving patted Elyse on the head with a smile. “You’ve gotten thinner, Elyse. You should eat more. As for me, I’ve actually put on a few pounds.”

Elyse nodded in agreement, then asked, “Why are we at the police station? Where are Mr. Tucker and Gavin?”
