Chapter 31 - Jealousy and Suspicion He changed his clothes and didn't return to the bathroom, heading to the office and deciding to call Elizabeth's friend. "When she meets my nephew again, find out what they're talking about, but don't interfere," he ordered before ending the call. "Ah, what is Liz up to..." she grumbled, sitting behind the counter, watching the storm outside. After her shower, Elizabeth took the medicine Richard had left and changed into warmer clothes. Despite the rain, she was determined to go back home. When she picked up her cell phone, she saw the message but didn't suspect that Richard had seen her or even replied. Reading the words 'I miss you,' her insides churned. Despite still being curious and suspicious about the truth, she didn't feel excited about speaking to Taylor. 

Chapter 33 - Cold Revenge Elizabeth could hardly believe that this 26-year-old man of good stature had slapped her hand in a way that caused her discomfort. "Not even my parents..." she grumbled, upset. "You should listen when people don't want something; you're so used to people giving in that you're this unbearable woman." "You don't even know me, how dare you jump to conclusions?" she asked, upset, still massaging her hand. Jayden glanced at her for a brief moment and then ignored her. The guy with long, well-trimmed hair and sidecuts kept his gaze away from Elizabeth, but the brightness in his brown eyes and his skin exuded a certain lightness and youthfulness. He seemed younger than he appeared, especially with his slightly blond hair that should have been brown. The tip of his nose was red, and he seemed to be running a fever. "It's not like I need to know who you are; I know enough to say that you're making my brother vulnerable." "What do you mean?" He stared at her s

Chapter 35: Zany BayGaby held Elizabeth's hand, showing concern, and pulled her friend up the stairs."Look at this," she announced, showing the posters plastered on the walls."What's this?" Elizabeth asked, picking up one of the sheets to read.["New swindler uses her influence to humiliate scholarship students just because he confessed his feelings for her."]"Even the school paper is reporting this. I found out the guy who was recording is from the school newspaper responsible for fetching news and gossip in school. We should have paid attention to this.""Okay..." Elizabeth sighed indifferently."It's even on the school website, the video, even with cuts and image editing. What are we going to do?" Gaby asked, concerned."I've already said, it's okay," Elizabeth commented indifferently, heading to the classroom."Why did you do that?" one of the guys asked, confronting Elizabeth, who remained cold. "He's always liked you, ever since you entered this campus. You're one of the wor

Chapter 37: Everything in Its PlaceJayden had headed to the office at the base where he trained. He was still organizing his thoughts, not intending to tell Richard until he found out what was really going on."It can't be... I'm sure that girl is the wild rose, and she recognized me," he thought, restless.Meanwhile, Richard was now in the office, quiet and pensive about the information he had received."I'm taking you to meet my grandfather. I hope you behave because supposedly, my nephew will be there too. He tends to copy me, so obviously, he'll be there to introduce his wife and boast," he warned, displaying coldness."Why should I care whether he's there or not?""You've been meeting him behind my back.""I didn't do that, and that meant nothing. Besides..." she murmured, insecure as she picked up her bag. "We're married.""I hope you know that I won't tolerate betrayal. You won't be forgiven, even if our relationship was the way it was. I believe I deserve your loyalty, right?

Chapter 39: Old AlfredAfter greeting Elizabeth's parents and having to explain one, two, three times that nothing had happened, he finally managed to go upstairs to her room. Seeing the unlocked door, he just walked in and headed towards the girl's bed, which was covered from head to toe. However, what caught his attention were the sheets on her dresser. He subtly analyzed each of them and understood what was going on but didn't let it affect him."Have you not learned yet that it's better to talk than to keep storing meaningless things?" He asked, sitting on her bed and embracing her around the waist, pulling her into his arms and waking her up."What are you doing here?" She asked, pulling away."Today is the day we go to my grandfather's house. The trip is a bit long. Get ready," he suggested coldly, getting up.She just nodded. After getting ready, they set off on the journey without even communicating. Taylor had arrived first at Richard's grandfather's house, as had Emma's fath
