Chapter 342:

Morgan and Tracy prepared to leave Elyse's after spending the day together. Elyse walked them to the door, saying wistfully, "Feel free to come by anytime."

Tracy, with a playful twinkle in her eye, replied, "The food here is too good! If I gain weight and can't act, I'll just move in."

Elyse laughed. "Alright, come live with me then. We'll have delicious meals every day."

Tracy smiled. "I won't worry about roles anymore. If I run out of money, I'll just live with you."

As they chatted, Jayden and Taylor arrived. Elyse was surprised to learn Taylor was leaving. "Are you leaving too? I hoped you'd stay for dinner."

Taylor smiled and glanced at Jayden. "No, I shouldn't. Staying might upset someone."

Elyse, giving Jayden a meaningful look, insisted, "Ignore him. Stay and join us. Driscoll mentioned something special is cooking."

Taylor politely declined. "Thanks, but I'm swamped with work. I'll join you next time."

Jayden's face darkened, noticing his wife's disappointment. "He shouldn't stay. Just let him go."

Taylor remained calm, his smile widening. He turned to Elyse, waving. "I really have to go. See you next time."

As he left, Taylor had a thought and turned to Tracy. He gestured with a crooked finger. "Come with me."

Tracy hesitated, initially not recognizing him. Upon closer inspection, her expression shifted to shock. "But why does Taylor want her to come along? Did he have something important to discuss?"

Tracy was wary of Taylor, knowing him to be cunning, unlike Elyse's favorable opinion. Worried about being tricked, she politely declined. "I don't think that's necessary."

Ignoring her, Taylor grabbed her collar and pulled her away.

Watching this, Morgan asked, "Are they an item?"

Elyse shook her head. "No, they're just friends."

Morgan nodded towards Elyse. "Thank you, Elyse. Next time, I'd love to hear you play the violin."

"Come anytime," Elyse replied warmly, pulling out her phone.

Morgan smiled sincerely and thanked Jayden. "Thank you for your hospitality."

Jayden gave a vague nod.

After Morgan left, Elyse voiced her concern. "Why did Taylor come? Did you really owe him money?"

Jayden's brow furrowed. "Is that what he told you?"

"Yes. How much do you owe? Can we pay it off?"

"It's not much. Just for a cruise," Jayden replied casually. Elyse was too shocked to react immediately.

After a moment, she asked, "How much does a cruise cost? Ten million? Twenty million?"

Jayden shrugged. "Don't worry. I've taken care of it."

Elyse was puzzled. "How?"

Leaning back, Jayden said in a low tone, "Want to know? Guess."

Elyse playfully punched his arm. "No!"

Tracy followed Taylor to his car, sitting in silence during the drive. Arriving at her destination, she thanked him, curious. "What did you want to talk about?"

Taylor raised an eyebrow. "Oh, I almost forgot. I wanted to warn you that that asshole might visit soon."

Tracy's face paled. "That's impossible. He won't come looking for me. I have nothing to do with him."

Taylor remained expressionless. "He probably doesn't see it that way. Men can be more possessive than you think."
