Chapter 305:

Theo's gaze lingered on Elyse in the photograph, his eyes softening with tenderness. He then looked at Kaelyn, his expression hardening. Kaelyn noticed the shift in his demeanor, and her face fell. Theo's voice was icy as he asked, "Do you want me to stop detesting you?"

"Yes," Kaelyn responded quickly, her eyes brimming with hope.

"If you can get Elyse to leave Jayden, perhaps I'll think better of you," Theo remarked casually, as though the task were trivial.

Kaelyn's face contorted in frustration. She had worked tirelessly to break up Theo and Elyse. Now, how could she possibly push Elyse to divorce Jayden just to get back with Theo? A bitter smile touched Kaelyn's lips. "Doesn't it bother you that Elyse is someone else's wife? What about your mother's feelings?"

Theo's gaze became frosty. "Elyse is the only one for me. No other woman comes close, and nobody can stop me from being with her."

Kaelyn's expression turned bleak. She was shocked by the depth of Theo's obsession with Elyse. Theo's voice was firm as he instructed Kaelyn to leave his house.

Climbing into her car, overcome with frustration, she screamed, pounding on the steering wheel and cursing Elyse. Once she had vented her anger, she found herself calming down. Muttering to herself, she said, "Theo, you really want to be with Elyse. And you think you can manipulate me into pushing her towards a divorce. Not happening."

As she started the car, her phone rang. It was Mabel. Taking a deep breath to compose herself, Kaelyn answered in a soothing tone, "Mabel, what's going on? Why are you calling?" Mabel's voice, tinged with anxiety, came through: "Kaelyn, do you think Elyse will discover the evidence of my theft? What if she finds out? Would I be in trouble?"

Kaelyn replied reassuringly, "Absolutely not. Elyse is your sister, after all. Even if she stumbles upon the evidence, she won't harm you. Don't worry about it. She's still your sister, isn't she?"
