After that conversation, Rachel finally realized Kaylee was just a phony woman.

Although it was unclear how she managed to get close to Gareth, there was no doubt she was a phony woman.

Rachel thought. What kind of decent girl would come and ask another person if she could live with the other person's ex-husband because she couldn't be apart from him?

Kaylee's face turned pale, and she spoke through gritted teeth.

Elisa added fuel to the fire. “In that case, call Gareth now and tell him to move out with Ms. Knapp. After all, he's been living at my place long enough.”

When Elisa spoke, Rachel took out her phone to make a call.

Kaylee quickly said, “L-Let's just forget it!”

Elisa slightly raised her eyebrows, smiling at her. “Why not? Ms. Knapp, I'm really sorry, but my home doesn't accommodate outsiders. Since you can't separate from Gareth, you two can live together outside. You can even return to Wickam Manor with him.”

Listening to Elisa's magnanimous remarks, Kaylee chuckled awkwardly without responding.

Rachel was leisurely looking at her with her phone in hand as if questioning Kaylee why she hadn't left yet.


Helpless, Kaylee could only leave dejectedly.

Elisa didn't miss the look in Kaylee's eyes before she left. It was as if she wanted to devour Elisa alive. Interesting. How amusing. She's pretending to be weak to deceive the strong.

After Kaylee left, Rachel put away her phone.

Elisa didn't want to send Gareth away over such a trivial matter, especially when he was still nursing his injuries.

She merely wanted to deter Kaylee.

However, unexpectedly, in the afternoon, Kaylee played the victim.

After packing up everything and expressing their gratitude to the local police, the group was ready to leave.

However, Kaylee was nowhere to be seen even after a long time.

Gareth made a phone call, and it sounded as if Kaylee was crying on the other end of the line.

Not knowing what was said, they saw Gareth run back to the hotel.

Vincent wanted to give chase, but in the end, he chose to stay.

Elisa's lips curled into a smile. It seems I've truly underestimated Kaylee. She's scheming and ambitious.

Rachel nudged Vincent with her elbow. “What's the story with this Kaylee? Why is Gareth so protective of her?”

“Protective?” Upon hearing Rachel's words, Vincent immediately defended his friend, saying, “How is that protective of her? That can, at most, be called as an expression of his gratitude.”

After saying that, he took another glance at Elisa's expression.

Elisa just smiled, revealing no other emotions, behaving as if she were just an outsider.
