Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 30 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."
