Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Revealing The Masterminds

As Jayden and Elyse headed home, Jayden spoke up. "You're strong enough, so I think it's time you knew who's been spreading rumors about you."

Elyse, curious, asked, "Who is it?"

"Kaelyn Bennett," Jayden answered. "She paid off the paparazzi to spread those rumors. If she had her way, your reputation would be ruined."

The news hit Elyse like a bolt of lightning. She wondered about the depth of Kaelyn's dislike for her. Even though she had stepped away from Theo, Kaelyn still pursued her relentlessly. "Why would she do this to me?" Elyse asked, her voice shaking.

"I'm not sure," Jayden said. "I don't try to read other people's minds. All you need to know is she's your adversary."

Stunned, Elyse hadn't viewed Kaelyn as an adversary, but clearly, Kaelyn saw her as one. Theo was a wedge between them. Regardless of her actions towards Theo, Kaelyn saw her as an irritant.

Seeing her shocked expression, Jayden asked, "She has hurt you. What will you do to make her answer it?"

After a deep breath, Elyse responded, "Since she went to great lengths to target me, then she'd be prepared for my retaliation." She could feel the full weight of Kaelyn's enmity and spite. Since Kaelyn had orchestrated this against her, she couldn't just forgive and forget. Furthermore, Kaelyn's actions had nearly cost her job. That was something she couldn't overlook. Jayden had assumed she would overlook it, yet her reaction was unexpected. She proved to be tougher than he had initially thought. "Bringing her down won't be easy," he said. "Someone is backing her. You need to identify her vulnerability and deal a crippling blow."

"Is Theo backing her?" Elyse seized on a critical detail.

"Theo? No, Kaelyn's supporter is much more influential than him. He's not her weak spot."

For a moment, Elyse was taken aback. She had always believed Theo was aiding Kaelyn.

Jayden added, "What's more, the one spreading rumors about you online is your own sister. I can assist you in handling her."

"What? Mabel?" A bitter smile formed on Elyse's face following the revelation. Often, it was those closest to them who could inflict the deepest wounds. Mabel had proven as venomous as a snake. "I need to head home," she declared, her smile tinged with sadness.

Seeing her gentle demeanor, Jayden reassured, "You might choose to confront her alone, but I

won't just watch. I'll ensure your sister faces consequences."

Elyse remained silent and did not plead for Mabel. She understood that pleading with JaydenThis is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Jayden, in turn, knew her well enough to recognize her dilemma.cwe.

Despite her sister's misdeeds, Elyse wasn't ready to sever ties.

After getting changed, Elyse joined the bodyguards Jayden had arranged for her and returned to

her parents' place.

In the past, visits home filled her with a sense of depression, but today she felt unusually calm and composed.

The security guard recognized her immediately and opened the gate without hesitation.

As Elyse approached the door, where the maid assisted her with her shoes, she heard Mabel's cries from the living room.

"Who did this? Who posted the list? I wasn't at that party! Why was my name on the list?"
