Chapter 29 Elyse's Outburst
Elyse dashed towards the car with a mix of relief and curiosity, swiftly opening the door and sliding inside. "Why are you here?" she questioned.
"All the staff heard about the buzz surrounding you. I came to check on you. So, it's true that you've been booted from the orchestra," Jayden remarked, his gaze assessing her with a hint of judgment.
Elyse felt a flush of embarrassment and fumbled with her words. "The online news spread like wildfire, and everyone in the orchestra found out. They had no choice but to let me go..." Noticing Jayden's scrutinizing stare, she trailed off, feeling like a scolded child.
"Let's head home now. Start the car," Jayden instructed.
Turning to Elyse, he continued, "This whole debacle seems targeted at you. Your name's
plastered everywhere while Theo's hidden under an alias. Think about it, who could be behind this?"
After a moment of reflection, she hesitantly suggested, "Maybe Kaelyn Bennett. But I'm done with Theo. I don't see why she'd come after me."
As she pondered, her phone rang once more, displaying an unknown number. With confusion, she
answered, "Hello, who's calling?"
"You actually picked up. You're Elyse Lloyd, right? You're a disgraceful,
shameless bitch..." the voice on the other end spewed venom.
Reacting swiftly, Jayden ended the call.
Shaken, Elyse exclaimed, "Who was that? Why would someone curse at me like that? I don't even recognize the voice."
After finishing her sentence, another call interrupted, leaving her bewildered by the incessant buzzing of her phone. "Who's calling me now?" she wondered aloud.
Jayden swiftly seized her phone and removed the SIM card.
"Ignore it. You're just getting cursed at again."
Consulting his own phone, he soon uncovered the cause.
"Your private info's been leaked online. Everyone's got your number. Those callers? They're just strangers."
Sitting in stunned silence, Elyse struggled to comprehend who bore such a vehement grudge against her to expose her personal details.
Back at home, the butler voiced his indignation, "Fret not. We've got your back online. You're the wronged party, and we're rallying for you."
Casting a glance at Elyse's despondent demeanor, Jayden inquired, "So, feeling overwhelmed by the online gossip?"
"Not overwhelmed. I'm just baffled by who could harbor such animosity towards me."
"Some people hate you, some adore you. Don't our staff adore you endlessly?" Jayden pointed out
As Elyse looked around at the butler Driscoll and the loyal maids, a lump formed in her throat. "You're right. I shouldn't let it get me down. I need to stay strong!"
After a moment's reflection, she declared, "I'll record a video, explaining what happened at the wedding and dispelling these rumors."
Concern creased Driscoll's brow as he interjected, "Will that really help? The online mob is relentless. Our fingers are sore from all the typing and curses."
Elyse wasn't entirely sure. "I'm not sure, but I'll give it a shot. I can't just sit back and let people
hurl insults at me, can I? Besides, everyone here has my back. How could I chicken out
now?".

changing your phone number. The whole country knows it. Let's go get a new one." Agreeing, Elyse accompanied him to get a new SIM card.
However, she ran into a woman who recognized her and publicly accused her of cheating. "I've already posted a video online clarifying what happened at the wedding. I was the victim. Please don't harass me again! If you persist,20VElwoRm.cem
I'll call the police and let them sort it out!"
Elyse seethed with anger, a rare sight for Jayden. As he watched her, he couldn't help but find her adorable when she was angry.
Her threat to call the police seemed to deter some of the gossipers. With a steely glare, Elyse left with Jayden, unflinching and resolute.
