Chapter 743:

Edward was taken aback. “Seriously? How stiff is your body? You just danced around a bit and got a cramp.”

He quickly laid her down and began to help her stretch, but Elyse was in so much pain that she kept squirming away. Exasperated, Edward grabbed her ankle and pulled hard, making her cry out.

A flash of light startled them. They turned to see Fiona, emotionless, phone in hand. When Edward saw the camera, his expression changed drastically. He immediately asked, “Are you taking a secret photo of us? What the fuck do you think you’re doing?”

Fiona responded casually, “I’m not taking secret photos; I’m openly photographing you two.” Raising her phone, she displayed it to Elyse with a smirk. “I knew you were fickle. Look, this is proof. If I show these photos of you with another man to your husband, do you think he’ll still love you?”

Elyse, still suffering from the cramp, glared at Fiona. “You haven’t changed a bit.”

“Neither have you,” Fiona sneered. “Elyse, I’m going to expose your true colors. Everyone will see you for the hypocrite you are.”

Elyse smirked. “Do whatever you want. You’ve got a mouth, don’t you?”

Fiona raised an eyebrow. “What, are you giving up? Aren’t you afraid of your reputation being ruined?”

Elyse mocked, “I believe people are smart enough to see through your despicable lies.”

“You arrogant little bitch! Let’s see how long you can keep this up,” Fiona said, leaving in a huff.

Edward, watching her go, glanced at her phone and mused, “Aren’t you worried she might really twist the story?”

Elyse shook her head. “What’s there to be afraid of? It’s just a cramp.”

After a moment of silence, Edward sighed. “I’m worried. I care more about my reputation than you might think.”

Elyse raised an eyebrow. “You have a reputation? I thought you had thick skin.”

After leaving backstage, Fiona went directly to the audience. She had noticed Jayden earlier, and the thought stirred jealousy. She knew he was there to watch Elyse, but hoped he might see her performance.

She loved him so much she was willing to do anything for his attention.

The concert hall had two premium VIP boxes. Fiona climbed the stairs and reached one. Through the glass door, she spotted Jayden’s back, and her heart raced.

Without waiting, she knocked and walked inside.

Jayden turned and, seeing Fiona, frowned. “What are you doing here? Get out.”

“No! Don’t be so quick to throw me out,” Fiona said, her gaze lingering on him.

Worried he might, she quickly retrieved her phone and presented it to him. “Look,” she said, her voice dripping with insinuation, “Elyse is cheating on you with another man. She’s fickle and unreliable. How could someone like you be with her? You deserve so much better.”

Jayden looked at the photos, a smirk slowly forming. “And what kind of woman do you think deserves a man like me?”

Without missing a beat, Fiona declared, “It should be me. I love you so much. Only I am truly worthy of you.” . . .
