Chapter 1022:

“No worries. | have something important to tell you,” Theo responded. “Tonight, we're luring the mastermind out.

Kaelyn is coming personally to catch you.”

“Kaelyn is that desperate? Just for my eight-million-dollar bounty?” Elyse sounded surprised. “Is she really that

strapped for cash?”

“It’s not just about the money,” Theo explained. “If something happens to you, she stands to benefit in other

ways too.”

After a pause, he added, “I'll cto pick you up later. Letting Kaelyn get to you is part of the plan, but | can’t

risk anything happening to you.”

Elyse thought for a moment, then nodded. “Alright, I'll message you once the banquet ends.”

Elyse ended the call and walked back into the restaurant. No sooner had she entered than someone with a vodka

bottle approached her, inviting her to drink. She grabbed an empty glass, poured vodka halfway, toasted with a

friend, took a swig, and resumed her seat.

Nearby sat Darren, whose cheeks were already glowing as he scooted over, glass in hand.

“Who picked this place? This vodka’s strong. | owe them thanks. | doubt I'll even manage the trip back to the

hotel tonight,” he said, burping loudly at the end.

Elyse laughed. “Who knows? This stuff hits fast, so maybe cut back on the drinks.”

Fueled by his drink, Darren, with a flush on his cheeks, voiced a question he had been pondering. “The tour

kicked off today, yet | didn’t see Jayden. He promised he wouldn't miss it last t| checked.”

As Elyse gripped her glass, she recalled the unanswered messages and unreturned calls from Jayden. Every

night, she wrestled with fear and worry. Masking her inner bitterness with another sip, Elyse answered, “I don’t

know why he didn’t show up.”

Darren scratched his head, taken aback by her reaction. After a pause, he suggested, “Aren't you two going to fix

things? It doesn’t seem like the love’s gone. Why not sit down and sort it out?”

Elyse gave a small smile and chuckled lightly. “That's a good one. Maybe you should ask Jayden that for me.”

Darren clicked his tongue. “Me? | don’t even have his number. How am | supposed to help?”

Elyse exhaled deeply. “Exactly, it's our issue. You can’t intervene. We need to deal with it ourselves.” Realizing

he had dampened Elyse’s mood with his comment, Darren hastily added, “Don’t take it to heart. | was just

making conversation. Didn't mean to make you upset.”

He then gestured towards Quinn. “Look at that guy. We're supposed to be celebrating, yet he’s moping alone in

the corner. Total loner.”

Elyse looked over at Quinn and remarked, “Let him be. He just ended a relationship today. Maybe a bit of

drinking will help him move on.”
