Chapter 798:
After a brief pause, Edward flashed a mischievous smile. “By the way, | almost forgot to ask. Do you still have
feelings for Elyse?”
“What does that matter to you?” Jayden snapped back.
“I think Elyse and | would be a good match,” Edward said smoothly. “Why don’t you lethave her? | would
treat her much better than you.”

A chill of anger flashed in Jayden’s eyes. He clenched his jaw and stared at Edward as if he were a rival. “Who do
you think you are, trying to steal my woman?”

Edward kept his composure. “Aren’t you with Aarya now? You two seem quite happy. So why not letlook after
Elyse for you?”
With his eyes alight with intense fury, Jayden sneered, “Try to take her fromif you think you can. If you
manage to win her over, then she’s yours.”
Surprised by his confidence, Edward couldn't help but ask, “Where does this certainty about Elyse cfrom?
How can you be so sure she'll stay by your side?”
Jayden stepped closer to Edward with a confident smirk, straightening his rumpled collar. “Don’t even think
about making a move on my woman. Consider this a warning.”
Edward chuckled darkly. “The thrill foris in taking what others value, especially when it's someone | admire
like Elyse. It only makeswant her more.”
Jayden and Edward had parted ways with tension thick in the air, but despite the strain, they couldn't afford to
sever ties completely. Their shared interests and mutual goals kept them tethered, ensuring that their plan could
still move forward.
Elyse, meanwhile, returned to the hotel and immediately sought out Gavin and Irving to reassure them of her
safety.
The moment she retreated to her room, exhaustion overtook her, and she quickly fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, just past noon, Elyse headed to the hotel restaurant for lunch. To her surprise, she ran into an old
acquaintance.
Brook, dressed in casual sportswear, was seated at the bar counter, a relaxed smile playing on his lips, and
called out to Elyse.

Elyse turned at the sound of his voice, her brows lifting in surprise. “Brook? What on earth are you doing here?”
“It's been months, hasn't it? | couldn't find a trace of you anywhere. Then | heard you were in Manfek for a
competition,” Brook said, handing her a menu with an easy grin. “How have you been during this time?”
Elyse took the menu absentmindedly, barely glancing at it before handing it back. “I'm not interested in drinks
right now. I'm starving.”
Brook chuckled and nudged the menu back toward her. “Order whatever you like. Lunch is on me.”
With a shrug, Elyse picked up the menu and randomly selected a few dishes. As she settled into her chair, her
curiosity piqued. “So, what brings you to Manfek? Are you just here for ssightseeing?”
Brook smiled. “I cto watch your competition. | was too curious to stay away—had to see for myself how
you'd fare.”
