Chapter 866:
The boy opened his mouth wide and bellowed, “You lied to me. You lied!”
Elyse covered her mouth with her hands, shaking her head desperately to stifle her urge to scream.
“Didn’t you promise you liked me? That you'd stay by my side forever? Now, seeinglike this, you want to
leave. You're the biggest liar ever, Elyse.”
The monster's roar was thunderous, and his appearance terrifying. Elyse couldn't contain herself anymore and
ran as fast as she could. The monster chased after her, repeatedly calling out her name.
She stumbled and collapsed to the ground. As she lay there, she glanced back and caught sight of the monster's
wide-open mouth diving at her. A sharp scream escaped her lips.

Suddenly, Elyse woke up. She opened her eyes wide, gasping for air.
It took her a moment to realize she was soaked in cold sweat. She sat up, still shaking from the intensity of the
nightmare. The fear lingered, holding her tightly.
Resting back against her pillow, she took stto calm down. She closed her eyes, feeling even more
drained than before her sleep.
After recovering, she stood up and headed to the bathroom for a shower. Afterward, she sat at her dresser to put
on makeup. She was due at a banquet that evening and was now looking forward to a pleasant evening with
good food.
Once ready, Irving knocked on her door, reminding her, “Are you set? It's almost time. We should leave for the
banquet.”
“I'm on my way!” Elyse called back as she grabbed her coat and rushed out, fixing her hair. “Is Gavin coming
along? Or is he still busy?”
“He senta text about half an hour ago. He won't make the banquet. He askedto escort you,” Irving
replied, holding his phone with a knowing smile. “I always tell him not to accept such jobs. | bet he'll think twice
next time.”
Elyse paused, then suggested, “Let's bring back sfood for him. Sadly, he’s been working by himself this
whole time.”
Irving agreed. “Good idea. He probably hasn't even had dinner. By the the’s done, there won't be anything
left to eat out there.”

Elyse felt even more sympathetic towards Gavin. They got into the car and headed to the hotel for the banquet.
As soon as Elyse entered, she was greeted by a crowd of people.
“I recognize you! | saw your competition. It was incredible. Congratulations on taking first place.”
“My friend bet on you as soon as they saw you compete. They were sure you would win.”
“May | have the pleasure of a dance with you later?”
Suddenly, Elyse found herself encircled by a group of men, her expression showing embarrassment and
confusion. She politely said, “Thank you, but I'm not in the mood for dancing.”
Noticing this, Irving stepped in, pulling Elyse aside with a dismissive smile. “Sorry, gentlemen, my friend here
doesn’t dance just for anyone. You should move along.”
