BookToReadChapter 546:
Elyse nodded thoughtfully. “So, you've been hiding from Lanny for over twenty years because you saw him
commit a murder?”
Morgan clenched her jaw. “I possess evidence of his crime. He's been trying to destroy it all these years.”
Elyse was quiet. After a significant pause, she raised her head and said softly, “He was cleared of all charges. His
obsession with killing you hasn't faded, so he'll attempt it again.”

Morgan sneered, “Kill me? Perfect, | want to kill him too, for my revenge.”
Elyse understood Morgan's deep-seated hatred. Lanny had not only murdered her parents but also Morgan's
mother. Even Elyse wouldn't let Lanny off the hook.
After pondering for a moment, Elyse inquired, “Do you still have the evidence that links Lanny to my parents’
murder?”
“I'm not sure. It’s been so many years. I'm not certain if it still exists.” Discussing this made Morgan feel slightly
somber.

Elyse’s eyes reflected a hint of disappointment, but then a thought struck her, and she asked curiously, “By the
way, how did you lose your memory back then?”
Morgan appeared helpless. “Back then, Lanny tried to kill me, and | ended up at the riverbank. To escape, |
jumped into the river. Unfortunately, it had just rained, and the current was rapid. | struck my head on a log and
blacked out.”
Elyse was taken aback and said, “You blacked out in the river?”
“Yes, | was adrift on sdriftwood for a few days before someone found and rescued me. Since | had lost my
memory and couldn't locate my family, the person who rescuedmarriedand secureda new identity.”
As she reflected on this, Morgan's expression becdistant.
She considered it to be her destiny.
Thinking back on the past twenty years, it all seemed like a dream, shaped by fate, which had brought her back
to this point.
Morgan smiled bitterly and said, “It’s as if a story was paused, and now, twenty years later, it’s playing again.”
Elyse paused to consider, then smiled. “Maybe the heavens thought you were too vulnerable back then to
confront Lanny, who had the upper hand. Now, you're back to settle things.”
Morgan nodded thoughtfully. “You're right. | need to find that evidence and ensure Lanny is imprisoned as soon
as possible.”
After saying this, Morgan stood, grabbed her coffee, and downed it in one gulp.
Before she departed, she affectionately patted Elyse’s head and smiled. “Head hearly. Don’t make me
worry.”
Elyse wanted to accompany Morgan to the funeral hbut remembered she was pregnant and had to stay put.
For the first time, Elyse felt her pregnancy was a hindrance, restricting her movements.
As Elyse exited the café and approached the elevator to the parking lot, she encountered Jayden, who was
coming up in the elevator.
They locked eyes and both asked at the stime, “What are you doing here?”
Elyse was taken aback, then she frowned slightly. “I was meeting with Morgan. And you? Why are you here?”
Jayden was about to say, “It's my own business,” but he recalled Peyton's counsel. After a brief pause, he
shared, “My mom askedto chere. She said she needed to talk about something.”
After speaking, Jayden looked at Elyse’s impassive face and cautiously invited, “Do you want to join me?”
Elyse had planned to leave. She wasn’t interested in their family affairs, but since Jayden extended the

After contemplating, Elyse nodded and decided to accompany Jayden to meet Tess.
Tess had chosen a tea house in the mall for their meeting. As they approached the door to the private room,
Jayden positioned Elyse behind him and explained, observing her puzzled look, “Today's meeting is centered
around me. | don’t want you to be in any danger.”
Elyse stood back, letting Jayden lead.
Once he was sure Elyse was safe, Jayden opened the door to the private room. Immediately, he was met with
Tess’ angry stare, and a cup cflying toward his stomach.
The cup broke into fragments on the polished marble floor.
“You dare to fake being disabled! You even dare to deceive me. How could you do this to your mom?” Tess
pointed directly at Jayden’s nose, scolding him relentlessly.
Elyse, feeling anxious, gently pulled on Jayden’s sleeve.
Jayden squeezed Elyse’s hand in response, his face still calm and detached.
He said plainly, “It’s straightforward. You didn’t raise me. In truth, it was Grandpa Enzo who did, not you.”
