Chapter 114 Joanna's Scheme

Joanna's gaze remained fixed on Elyse.

After Elyse's disappearance, Jayden's men combed the city to search for her. Their frantic efforts even reached Enzo's ears.

It seemed that Elyse held a significance to Jayden deeper than anyone had imagined.

With this thought, Joanna's fists clenched tighter, a surge of jealousy and resentment coursing through her.

Joanna's understanding crystallized, acknowledging her jealousy toward Elyse, even though the object of Elyse's affection was someone she had previously dismissed as useless.

"You're fortunate, Elyse. Encountering the man I abandoned, and then forging a happy life." Joanna's voice dripped with bitterness.

Elyse, upon hearing Joanna's words, responded with a derisive sneer, meeting Joanna's gaze head-on, "Your choices are your own. They hold no sway over me. Now you envy me because Jayden and I share a love that runs deep, don't you?"
