Chapter 52:I will protect you "What?" Dahlia grimaced at the looks she got from her family. "I am only telling her the truth. When has the truth been bound in this house? Huh?" Grant Dale sent a withering glare and snapped, "Dahlia, shut up! Or go back to your room." "As always, everyone is taking the stranger's side and ganging up on me. I am so unfortunate!" Pushing her chair back with a loud shriek, Dahlia complained as she left the dining section. When she reached the corridor, a satisfied grin grew on her lips. "My plan worked. I got rid of that questioning, asking pest!" Back in the dining room, Grant and Everest Dale tried to comfort Elsie, who looked hurt. Grant said in a soothing voice, "Dear, you know how your aunt is, right? She has a faucet for a mouth that keeps running all day long." To this, Cécilia chuckled from her corner, finding it amusing that her mother's sharp tongue was compared to a faucet. She was the quiet member of the family.

Chapter 54: Make the night worth it, baby girl. In the Grand Scott Villa in the Eastern area known by the French as 'La Prolétaire Placé', acres of acres of land owned by the wealthy class of City D. Crystal chandeliers cast rainbow shards across polished marble floors as an orchestra swelled. Women and men clad in noble elegance glided around the ballroom, sipping champagne and every drink of their liking. The arrival of Elsie and Aiden drew the attention of the entire room, everyone whispering praises about their clothes and how good a pair they made. Due to the influence of the Scott family, only a few people knew about Elsie's previous reluctance to their marriage and her relationship to Henry Rowan. While others who had heard the rumors could only talk about it in hushed whispers. Elsie, who had her arm interlocked with Aiden's, wore an off-shoulder bloody red gown with a multi-colored dotted diamond design on the hem. Her natural red hair was styled by the ci

Chapter 56: How did she get it? "Elsie, let's make use of the bed," he croaked, desire intensifying in his eyes. At this point, Elsie noticed the bed behind them. It then dawned on her that she was in his childhood room, a place she had only seen once before. Her cheeks turned red. She clapped her mouth, struggling to contain the erupting laughter building in her. A wild laugh escaped out of Elsie. She teased, "Sure!" In order to tease him more, she went over and sat on the bed, her fingers feeling the softness of the grey sheets. Gasping, she called him by wiggling her hand, "This bed is so comfortable. We might even forget why we are here." But when she noticed his expression had not changed, she realized he had been serious. The smile on her lips collapsed. She tried to reason with him, "You can't be serious, Aiden. Not here and not now." "Why?" He frowned. "Because..." she halted in her presumed rant, to gather her thoughts so she could not prov

Chapter 58: Do you want to hit me? Back in the ballroom, April stood at the dark drinking area, engaged in a serious conversation with the man she had met earlier. They appeared to be deep in discussion, their expressions indecipherable. His eyes widened, a mixture of surprise and concern displayed on his face. He leaned closer again, his voice barely audible. " Is that all you want me to do?" "Yes." She agreed firmly. "Do you understand?" April asked in a hushed tone. She opened her bag, allowing him to peek inside. He nodded in response. Henry's eyebrows furrowed as he considered April's request. A smile spread across the man's lips. He scratched his eyebrows, a mischievous glint in his eyes as if contemplating the outcome of the plan. After a moment, he opened his mouth and said, sounding impressed, "I have. It's quite solid." A wave of relief washed over April's face. She adopted a nonchalant tone and said, "Okay. Do you have any questions?"

Chapter 60: You want to talk? " When did you say my wife visited you?" Aiden asked in a strangely calm tone, which surprised Henry. Henry, noticing Aiden's lack of reaction to the watch, wondered if he hadn't seen it. April, on the other hand, displayed evident disappointment in her eyes. Her shoulders slumped as she held up a photo of the receipt for the watch, hoping to implicate Elsie. But why didn't it work? "Two days ago," he affirmed confidently. However, Henry didn't dwell on it too much, as he realized Aiden had been convinced by his lies. "Two days ago?" Aiden inquired once more. At this point, relief washed over Elsie's features. She understood Aiden's plan. "Yes. Your wife and I were cuckolding you in a hotel two days ago." "Which hotel two days ago?" Aiden emphasized the last two words. "It was the... uh, why does it matter?" He scoffed, feeling a bit insecure. "It matters because you're a terrible liar. Elsie was home throug
