How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 186

So much so.

Now that Elodie could effortlessly dine with the professor thanks to Alexander, she couldn't help feeling a little contemptuous.

"I just saw Elodie giving the professor a gift," Sylvie remarked casually as she took her seat.

"A gift?" Maurice chuckled. "What good will that do her? That's like handing a Harvard acceptance letter to someone who can barely read. Even if she's given the chance, what's the point? It's wasted on her."

A housewife, after all.

Just a college graduate, and her only way to meet the professor was through Alexander, who was clearly blinded by infatuation.

Even if Alexander wanted to make Elodie look good, didn't she need some real ability of her own?

Sylvie glanced at Maurice, amused. "You don't mince words, do you?"

Maurice shrugged. "The truth stings."

He turned to Jarrod. "So, Jarrod, what do you think Alexander's up to? Bringing Elodie to meet his father-could it be they've been together much longer than we thought?"

"No," Jarrod replied unhurriedly, dismissing Maurice's guess.

Sylvie watched him, searching for any flicker of emotion.
