Chapter 651:

Jayden stood up, retrieved his phone, and gave Tobin some instructions before he and Elyse headed to find Shaun.

Upon entering Shaun’s villa, Elyse immediately sensed a heavy atmosphere. She approached the butler, who looked quite somber, and inquired, “Where is Shaun? I need to see him.”

The butler glanced towards the staircase leading to the second floor and hesitated before responding, “He might not be available right now.”

Elyse quickly stepped closer to the butler and pressed, “He answered my call earlier. Why can’t I see him now? Does he not want to meet me?”

The butler shook his head, repeatedly opening his mouth to speak but stopping himself each time, clearly hesitant. This made Elyse even more worried. She stamped her foot and demanded, “What happened to him? Tell me quickly.”

Realizing he couldn’t avoid the issue, the butler exhaled deeply and said, “I’ll take you to him.”

Elyse looked at Jayden, and they followed the butler to the second floor. The butler knocked on the door of a room but received no answer. He then cautiously opened the door.

As the door swung open, a pungent smell of alcohol wafted out, causing Elyse to reel back and cover her nose, exclaiming, “It reeks.”
