?Chapter 418:


    The original jewelry designer, Carole, and the pianist, Jay, both unexpectedly breached their contracts, reasons unknown.


    Shortly thereafter, it came to light that the remarkable pianist who concluded Light’s show was a woman previously unknown in the piano world.


    Photos depicted her ying in a simple chiffon shirt and casual pants, her long ck hair casually tied back.


    Remarkably, she hadn’t undergone a wardrobe change or applied any makeup.


    Yet her profile radiated stunning beauty.


    Further investigation unveiled her identity as Ellie, Light’s head stylist!


    A stylist stepping in as a pianist?


    This was unheard of!


    Spection arose about thevish treatment Ellie received from Light, with some guessing that it might be rted to the collector’s jewels. However, Light’s executives maintained silence, offering no direct response to the conjectures.


    Amidst the buzz and spection, top brands began recognizing Ellie’s talent and value.


    As the private jet touched down in Critport, gifts from Light were destined for Moon Manor.


    Ellie, carrying only a handbag, gracefully exited the airport.


    At the pickup point, she spotted a tall, imposing man holding arge bouquet of David Austin roses. Ellie paused, doubting her eyes. Filled with astonishment, she approached the man. “Kaiden, you, how are you… Not in a wheelchair?”


    “Wee home, Mrs. Thorpe.” Kaiden handed her the bouquet and opened his arms. “Don’t you think you should show some appreciation?”


    Ellie’s eyes lit up, and a smile tugged at the corners of her delicate lips. Without hesitation, she threw herself into Kaiden’s embrace.


    As his familiar scent filled her nostrils, she pressed her cheek against his broad chest and listened to his strong heartbeat.


    Even Kaiden couldn’t help but smile.

    After a while, Ellie raised her head and looked up at Kaiden. “How else can I show you my appreciation?”


    Kaiden’s eyebrows shot up in surprise.


    Before he could give her an answer, Ellie suddenly stood on tiptoe and nted a peck on his lips.


    Then she cheekily tried to step back, attempting to retreat a safe distance.


    But the next moment, Kaiden caught her by the wrist and pulled her back toward him.


    He firmly wrapped his arms around her waist, drawing her back into his embrace.


    He then kissed her, gently biting her lower lip as though to punish her, or perhaps to cherish her taste.


    Kaiden, who was usually cold and aloof, smiled at the woman in his arms with a hint of amusement in his eyes. “Ellie, your trip to Meloria has changed you. You are more courageous.”


    Indeed, she usually never showed such a public disy of affection—except when she wanted to use him to vent her anger on others.


    Ellie chuckled and tugged lightly at his tie, asking coquettishly, “What’re you doing here?”
