Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 104 Our Story Ended Long Ago

Elyse sensed an underlying sarcasm in Vicky's words. She arched an eyebrow and responded, "I never claimed to be the best, but I'd relish the chance to compete with you."

Vicky tilted her chin up slightly, her voice dripping with pride, "I'm ready anytime."

Ultimately, Elyse opted out of the television station's event, choosing instead to concentrate on

the next phase of the selection process. And she suspected that the incident last night had to have been orchestrated by someone at the station.

Elyse pondered why Barnes Reed would target her, she had never interacted with him before. Her confusion lingered until noon, when the truth came to light

Jayden made a phone call and explained, "I've got it. Barnes Reed claimed you volunteered to sleep with him, hoping to deepen the connection between the local TV station and the orchestra." Elyse's anger flared. "How is that possible? I've never even met him or spoken to him. How could he fabricate such lies?"

"I suspected as much, so I had it investigated. It turns out the account impersonating you belongs to Kaelyn"

"Kaelyn Bennett?" Elyse paused, stunned. Why would Kaelyn engage in such absurd antics? "The bodyguards mentioned that paparazzi were stationed at the hotel entrance this morning. After questioning them, it was clear the photographers were hoping to snap shots of you and

Barnes supposedly together," Jayden continued calmly.

"She's trying to tarnish my reputation!" Elyse finally understood Kaelyn's motive.

"IILfill you in on the rest after you're done with work."

With the call concluded, Elyse returned to the studio.
