Chapter 192
You Were Just Like Your Husband
Rebekah chased Vicky outside the restaurant, only to get smacked in the face as soon as she caught up with her.
< Passers-by on the street watched this embarrassing scene play out, making Rebekah feel humiliated.
Holding her cheek, she asked Vicky angrily, "Why did you hit me?"
Vicky's hand hurt from slapping Rebekah with more force than she did Elyse.
She said mockingly, "You know why I hit you."
Rebekah couldn't even form words to respond.
"Don't worry," Vicky continued with a cold glance. "I don't blame you for disliking Elyse. It actually just makes you less disgusting."
Rebekah gritted her teeth and replied, "Don't worry, I won't give up on taking down Elyse."
She added hastily, "I also promise not to ever manipulate you again."
Vicky didn't even look at her after getting what she wanted and walked away.
Rebekah followed her awkwardly, covering her bruised cheek from the passers-by's curious
gazes.
Meanwhile, Elyse ordered an ice pack from the waiter to soothe her cheek, all while continuing with her dinner.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
After Vicky left, the mood at the table shifted from somber to one of determination and resolve, with everyone vowing never to let her emerge victorious again.
Even Elyse was motivated to fight harder.
After dinner, everyone began to leave. Standing on the roadside, Elyse messaged her driver. Suddenly, Freddy walked over and saw the palm print on her cheek. "I saw a different side of you when I witnessed you striking Vicky," he remarked.
Elyse was confused. "What do you mean?"
Freddy shook his head, rubbing his temples. "You were just like your husband, Jayden. That icy
look of yours made me feel like it was him teaching Vicky a lesson."
Elyse chuckled, "Well, after marrying Jayden, I learned a lot from him."
Freddy continued, "Moreover, you're like his exact copy. It wouldn't be a surprise if you had someone to take out Vicky."
Elyse chuckled, feeling in a good mood as she sat in the car and waved Freddy goodbye.

"Has Jayden gotten home?" she asked the driver as she pulled out her phone to message him.
The driver smiled. "Yes, he's already home. He arrived before I even set off."
Elyse nodded, planning to tell Jayden about Freddy's comments.
But after thinking it over, she decided to talk to him in Driscoll's presence.
And so, she went cheerfully inside the house to find Jayden.
Jayden was busy watching TV on the couch when Elyse walked in with a bright smile. Nonetheless, her swollen cheek caught his eye, and he was taken aback. "Who hit you?" he asked, the room temperature dropping.
Elyse stopped mid-step, rubbing her cheek with a guilty conscience. "It was an orchestra member," she explained.
Jayden narrowed his gaze when he heard that. "And you didn't fight back?" he asked sternly. "
Of course I did," Elyse replied confidently. "! slapped her, so she won't get the best of me." Elyse
sat on Jayden's lap and told him everything that happened, hoping to avoid his anger.
Jayden eased up when he learned that Elyse had slapped that girl in return

of her.
But Jayden raised his eyebrows and said, "How could someone hit you if you were like me?" His words stiffened Elyse's smile.
"That's not the point. The point is I'm becoming more like you," she said, feeling embarrassed. Jayden touched the palm print on her face and his eyes glistened with a dark light. "You're not like me enough," he said, leaving Elyse speechless.
She suddenly became aware of how close they were, taking in Jayden's warm breath on her face and the hair on his face.
A weird feeling surged in Elyse's heart, and the room temperature seemed to rise as Jayden's hand wrapped around her waist, causing < her to breathe heavily.
His increased strength made her cling to him even more tightly, and they almost became one body.
Elyse's mind was jumbled and she was about to follow Jayden's lead when Driscoll appeared in the room.
"Please excuse me for disturbing. Kieran Foster and Judy Foster are here to visit you two," he said respectfully, interrupting the intimate moment.
