Chapter 797:
Elyse’s anxiety spiked, and she pushed away his wandering hands. “We might be in real danger, and you're still
trying to cop a feel? Hands off!”
Jayden retorted with his typical roguish smile, “Con, touching you is so enjoyable. They know what type of
person | am.”
Elyse pointed an accusing finger at Jayden, momentarily speechless. She couldn’t shake the feeling that Jayden
had changed in sway. The reserved demeanor he used to show was gone, replaced by a more outgoing
boldness.
Tired of their pointless exchange, Elyse quickly moved to the window. Below, leafy bushes looked like they could

Determined, she grabbed Jayden’s hand. “We need to jump,” she said. “We can make it.”
Feeling her resolve, Jayden pulled her in close. “I'll make sure we get out of this safely,” he assured her. “Don’t
even think about jumping.”
Elyse’s expression showed her confusion. “They have weapons. How do you plan to get us out of here without
harm?”
Without a word, Jayden took her hand, opened the door, and walked out.
Elyse was stunned. Armed guards filled the hallway, but they ignored Jayden, walking past as if he and Elyse
were invisible.

“We're not who they're after,” Jayden said simply.
Elyse followed Jayden in a haze as they left the building. His driver was waiting at the curb.
As she settled in the car, she saw Jayden start to walk away and quickly grabbed his sleeve, urgency in her
voice. “Aren’t you coming with me?”
Jayden took her cold hand in his, warming it slightly. “I have to finish a scene and go back to act it out,” he
explained, then teased, “If you letinto your room tonight, | might just rewrite the script.”

Elyse sighed, frustrated. “There you go again, talking nonsense! I'm leaving. Just make sure Edward is safe. He
doesn’t deserve any of this!”
With that, Elyse pulled her hand away and rolled up the window. The driver accelerated, and the car sped away.
“Her temper’s only getting hotter,” Jayden murmured, standing there as Elyse drove off, a sigh escaping him.
When he got back, he found Edward in a clothing store, now dressed in a new outfit. Edward looked puzzled and
asked, “There shouldnt be anything aboutgetting attacked in today’s plan, right? Did you change it on the
fly?”
“| swear it was an accident. | had no idea that would happen,” Jayden responded.
Edward raised an eyebrow, clearly skeptical, but he chose not to focus on that issue tonight. Wanting to change
the subject, he asked, “Was Aarya taken away as planned?”
Jayden confirmed with a nod. “Yes. Now we just need to wait for Charlie to make his move. If he doesn’t slip up,
our plan could fall apart.”
