Chapter 900:

“Because he is kind to you. How can I just watch him show affection to another woman?” Aarya responded with a scornful smile. “He had the audacity to betray me. He will suffer the consequences.”

Elyse wanted to respond, but Aarya was no longer interested in talking; she was anxious to begin her game.

“What do you think Jayden will feel when he finds you beaten and barely hanging on? Will his heart break, or will he be filled with terror? Will he regret betraying me? Will he regret choosing the wrong woman to love?” Aarya unleashed a flurry of questions before facing Elyse. “What do you think?”

Elyse bit her lip. “If you’re dying to know, why don’t you ask him yourself? Why are you questioning me?”

“You’re right. He’ll be here soon. My dad always keeps his promises.” With that, Aarya offered a deceptively sweet smile.

Aarya pointed her finger at the bodyguards and commanded, “You two, hold her up. I want to use my knife to create a little artwork on her.”

“As you wish,” the two bodyguards replied in unison.

One seized Elyse, while the other approached the cabinet and retrieved a dagger. The blade was blackened with oxidized blood, and even the edge was rusted. Aarya extended her hand toward the bodyguard holding the dagger, expecting it to be handed over to her.

However, the bodyguard came forward and placed a lighter in Aarya’s hand instead. Aarya held it, immediately sensing something was amiss. She glanced down, noticed the lighter, and her anger flared.

“Why are you giving me a lighter? I asked for the dagger. Ouch!”

Looking down, Aarya realized the dagger she had requested was now deeply stabbed in her abdomen. “Why you…” Aarya gazed up at the bodyguard in shock. She noticed he was wearing sunglasses, and something was off about his face and mouth; they looked strangely warped.

Aarya stared at him briefly before grasping the truth. Shocked, she exclaimed, “That’s a realistic silicone mask! Who are you?”

Instead of responding, the bodyguard twisted the dagger deeper into Aarya and coldly asked, “Who were you going to torture? Say it loudly.”

This time, the bodyguard didn’t speak in a hoarse voice.

Aarya’s eyes widened as she was taken aback. “You are Jayden!”

Elyse also recognized Jayden’s voice and stared in disbelief.

Jayden removed his sunglasses, revealing the clear line where his eyes met the edge of the realistic silicone mask he was wearing, which explained why he had used sunglasses for his disguise.
