Chapter 55:

Lanny just told me that Mabel slept with Theo Ward,” Elyse said in a conflicted tone. “He wants us to go home to deal with the matter.”

Peyton was horrified by the mention of Theo’s name. “Wait, what? Theo Ward? He slept with your sister? Weren’t you engaged to him before?”

“That’s the one,” Elyse nodded and smiled bitterly. She had always known that Mabel liked Theo, and she had encouraged Mabel to pursue him the last time they met. Even so, this was way beyond what she could have imagined. “How did those two end up sleeping together?”

Out of everyone present, Jayden was the most collected. He had looked into both Elyse and Theo. “Theo might not be a notorious playboy, but he was far from being a saint. The man has a rather rich romantic history,” Jayden commented. “He started dating girls when he was quite young. He’s just good at covering his tracks.”

“How do you know so much about him?” Elyse asked, her brows furrowed into a puzzled frown. “You know more about him than I do.”

Peyton rolled his eyes. “Why are you surprised? He is your husband, of course, your husband had to investigate him.”

But Elyse was still rather shocked. How could Jayden know so much about Theo to this extent? As for Jayden, he had to clench his hands to keep from strangling Peyton.
