GoodNovelChapter 270:
Observing Aylin’s shameless demeanor, Elyse realized she had no intention of assisting her. Aylin’s priority was
to facilitate Mabel’s song releases, aligning with the company’s interests. Irritated by Aylin’s demeanor, Elyse
remarked, “The thief should bear the consequences. Do you expectto shoulder the losses? Do you think I'm
a stupid pushover?”
A flicker of annoyance flashed across Aylin’s expression. Unable to battle Elyse in a gof wits, she replied, “I
must report this to the higher-ups. | can’t make decisions independently.”
Elyse’s anger simmered slightly at this admission. “I await your favorable response. After all, you wouldn't want
Aylin managed a strained smile. “Of course not.” Without accepting the water offered by Aylin, Elyse departed.
Now that she was left alone, Aylin dialed Mabel’s number. Despite her years in the industry, it was her first time
being duped by someone so young. After several attempts, Mabel finally answered, clearly agitated. “Aylin, do
you realize I'm in the middle of filming? Why are you callingrepeatedly?”
With a sneer, Aylin confronted her. “Your sister confrontedat the office. When you presented the songs to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtme, you claimed your sister gifted them to you and allowed you to claim credit. How dare you deceive me?”

Mabel remained composed, offering reassurance and advising Aylin not to fret. Fuming, Aylin pounded the table,
shouting, “How can | not be anxious? Do you comprehend the extent of damage this revelation could cause the
company? Are you prepared to accept responsibility?”
Mabel remained unperturbed. “Elyse lacks evidence, Aylin. Don’t be so worried about it.”
What followed was one of pure anger from Aylin. Mabel’s smile was unsettling as she remarked, “I mean, Elyse
lacks evidence to prove ownership of the compositions or that | stole them, Aylin. There's no need to be so
anxious.”
Taking a moment to collect herself, Aylin responded, “So Elyse has no leverage?”
“Yes, | can ask my parents to vouch for me. Besides, those three songs couldn't possibly be Elyse’s creations,”
Mabel hastily added. “Aylin, there's no need to be so anxious.”
Upon Elyse’s return home, she anticipated a swift response from Mabel’s agency. However, days passed without
any news. Eventually, she learned that Mabel’s popularity skyrocketed, with the album poised to receive a
prestigious award.
Suppressing her frustration, Elyse dialed Aylin’s number. To her surprise, Aylin’s attitude had changed, stating
that Elyse was free to take legal action if she desired.
Jayden entered the room at that moment, overhearing the conversation. When Elyse ended the call, he inquired
casually, “What's going on?”
Elyse hesitated, contemplating whether to confide in him. Noticing her inner struggle, Jayden commented, “We
may be at odds, but we're not divorced. If you're facing difficulties, you should share them with me.”
Elyse’s resolve wavered, her emotions finally overwhelming her. Amid their recent cold war, neither had yielded
an inch.
Jayden retrieved the coat from beside the bed, his tone carrying an air of warning as he spoke. “Declining my
assistance when you're in trouble will only exacerbate our issues.”
Confusion clouded her thoughts. Had she inadvertently worsened their situation?

Feeling the weight of Jayden’s stern expression, she hastened to recount the entire ordeal.
Upon hearing her explanation, Jayden pulled her into an embrace. Despite the warmth of her body against his,
he suppressed his impulses, stating, “You handled it poorly.”
Perturbed, Elyse questioned, “Why do you say that?”
Jayden explained, “You turned to Mabel’s agency in hopes of resolution, but Mabel and the agency are
intertwined. If there's a conflict, they'll protect Mabel at your expense.”
Realization dawned on Elyse. It was true that her actions had been rash. She bit her lip and asked, “Then where
should I have turned?”
“You should have ctoimmediately,” Jayden responded, draping his coat over her legs.
Then, much to her surprise, he slid his hand between her legs, touching a sensitive spot he had long desired
during their recent estrangement.
Shaken, Elyse protested, “What are you doing? Let go of me.”
