Garret dismissed the idea with a shake of his head. “It's not necessary. Like Jayden, | chose to vanish, staging my
own death for tactical reasons.”
Elyse was taken aback. “Why would you do that?”
Garret justified his actions. “The advantages of faking my death surpassed those of being alive. So, why not

Elyse remained puzzled. “But Chesney is striving hard. He seems eager to take your spot. It’s clear he's

Garret responded casually, “Ambition is beneficial. He'll dedicate himself to governing. During this period, he'll
manage our country in my stead, freeingto attend to my personal affairs.”
Elyse listened and couldn't help but feel empathy for Chesney. If Chesney were aware that all his efforts were
merely part of Garret’s scheme, how devastated would he be?
Garret then said, “Regarding your issue, I'll look for an opportunity to contact Edward.”
With Garret’s promise, Elyse felt considerably more relieved. She remained at the house for over a month,

with curiosity, “Who wants to visit?”
“You know him,” Jayden answered, then addressed Garret. “Let him in. I'm interested in what he has to say.”

Elyse was completely baffled. It was only when the individual walked into the house that she understood whom
Jayden had been mentioning.
“Brook? What are you doing here?” Elyse gasped in astonishment.
Brook, equally surprised to see her, stuttered, “Weren't you trafficked? How are you here with Jayden? Did he
save you?”
Elyse stared back at Brook, shocked by his appearance. His forehead was covered in bandages, and his arm was
in a sling, making him look as unkempt as one could imagine.
