Chapter 835:

She cocked her head, her voice filled with false innocence. “Did he ever behave like that with you? Was he always this insatiable? Did he have a particular way he preferred?”

Elyse reached her limit. “Have you lost your mind? Why do you keep involving me in your personal dramas? What’s this obsession with my history? Do you have a problem?”

Regretting her hasty order, Elyse realized she could have avoided this distressing conversation.

Aarya’s voice whined as she prodded, “Why won’t you share your stories about him with me?”

Annoyed, Elyse retorted, “Is it because you can’t control Jayden that you keep bothering me?”

“No, of course not,” Aarya quickly replied.

Elyse laughed derisively. If Aarya truly controlled Jayden, Elyse wouldn’t be enduring his advances.

Sitting amidst the tension, the thought of being ensnared in a love triangle with Jayden and Aarya disgusted Elyse. She stated firmly, with a stern look, “You’ve enjoyed yourself enough. Now, please let me eat in peace.”

Aarya gazed intently at Elyse, her expression shifting into a forced smile. “I hope you’ve truly let go of Jayden. If your affections are as misleading as your assertions, and you still harbor feelings for him, the consequences are on you.”

After saying this, Aarya began to walk away.

Elyse, determined not to let her leave, grasped Aarya’s arm and pulled her back to her seat. Leaning in, her hands pressing down on the table, she looked firmly at Aarya.

“My feelings about Jayden are irrelevant to you. Since you cannot grasp his affection, you attempt to dominate other women. It shows your weakness.”

Aarya’s face was a mix of anger and humiliation. She clenched her teeth. “Elyse, no one has ever dared to speak to me like this before!”

Elyse, unimpressed, raised an eyebrow and grabbed Aarya by the collar to examine the marks scattered from her neck to her chest.

Aarya, momentarily flustered, quickly recovered, puffing out her chest to display the marks proudly.

“You seem to care a lot,” she taunted. “Jayden can’t help himself around me. He marks me despite my protests. Why can’t he be gentle?”

Releasing her grip, Elyse stared coldly at her. “So, what are you trying to say?”

Aarya seized the moment, her voice dripping with faux annoyance. “Oh, Jayden really infuriated me last night. He promised to save our first time for our wedding night, but he just couldn’t hold back. And he was so rough, no tenderness at all.”

Elyse’s reply was frosty, “First time? Whose first time are we talking about? Yours? His? Do either of you even have a first time left to claim? Please, don’t devalue the term.”

Realizing she was being mocked, Aarya’s face turned crimson with rage. She slammed her hand down on the table and stood up sharply. “You’re just jealous! That’s what this is about, isn’t it? You’re trying to make me look bad because you can’t stand it.”

Elyse simply crossed her arms and smirked, amused by the outburst. “Jealous of you? Really now, what exactly is there to envy?” . . .
