Chapter 246:

Elyse didn’t recognize the man, yet he seemed familiar. Seeing her puzzled expression, he introduced himself. “I’m Egan Brooks. Pleased to meet you.”

Egan Brooks, brother of Xander Brooks and Hiram Brooks. It suddenly hit Elyse that she hadn’t encountered anyone from the Brooks family since Xander’s wedding.

Noticing Elyse’s silence, Egan raised his voice deliberately, saying, “I’ve heard that Jayden loves you very much. So where is he today? Does this mean he doesn’t really love you?”
