In fact, Elyse found herself hoping that Fiona and Quinn were indeed an item. It made Fiona appear more like a
stable person, which was a welcchange.
Elyse started her rehearsal, fully immersed in the music. During a break, she visited the restroom, and while
washing her hands, she noticed Fiona enter.
Playing with a lock of her hair, Fiona flashed a flirty smile and asked, “How do you think Jayden will react when
he learns I'm in a relationship with someone else?”
Elyse considered the question odd but responded truthfully, “If he’s in a good mood, he'll probably wish you

Fiona’s face registered a hint of disappointment, but she quickly composed herself and probed further, “Don’t
you wonder why I'm with Quinn?”

Elyse dried her hands, replying with disinterest, “It doesn’t concern me, as long as it doesn’t disrupt our
practice.”
Fiona’s smile faded, replaced by irritation. “Elyse, | really despise your condescending attitude. | can’t fathom
what Jayden finds appealing about you.”
Elyse met Fiona's glare coolly, responding sharply, “If you're involved with someone, you shouldn't keep
mentioning other men. It casts doubt on your intentions.”
With that, Elyse turned away and exited the restroom, eager to avoid another moment with Fiona. Just a few
paces away, her phone chimed.
She glanced at her screen and saw a message from Jayden. Recently, he had been leaving early and returning

Elyse was taken aback. What did Jayden mean by that? Why would he suddenly assign Edward to keep an eye on
her?

Hurrying back to the rehearsal space, she found Edward seated in a corner, absorbed in his phone. She
approached him quickly and asked, “Edward, did you receive a message from Jayden as well?”
Edward looked up and displayed his conversation with Jayden. “I understand. From this point forward, I'll be the
one guarding you. Whether Jayden manages to stay safe is another matter.”
A surge of worry flooded Elyse as she questioned urgently, “What's going on with Jayden? Who is after him?
Does he have many adversaries?”
Edward rose to his feet, trying to soothe her. In a steady voice, he stated, “Don’t worry. I'm merely suggesting
it’s a possibility. He's likely to pull through.”
After a brief pause, he added cautiously, “Moreover, if he doesn’t make it, wouldn't that be beneficial for you? He
wouldn't be around to trouble you anymore, causing you all that distress.”
