?Chapter 488:


    As soon as Baylee left the room, Ellie, who had been pretending to be asleep, suddenly opened her eyes.


    Shortly after Kaiden had left, Ellie stumbled upon the rumors about Carole and Kaiden.AdChoicesADVERTISING


    This wasn’t the first time Carole and Kaiden were rumored to be involved, and it still felt disgusting.


    The rumors were so detailed that every word seemed true.


    The timing of these rumors was suspicious. They started circting just as Kaiden left, suggesting that Ellie was the oneing between Kaiden and Carole.


    If Ellie hadn’t suddenly married Kaiden, Carole would have been the natural choice to marry him, considering the marriage alliance between the Thorpe and Lambert families and the close ties between Kaiden and Carole.


    For a moment, Ellie was unsure whether to feel sorry for herself for being wronglybeled the viin or for her unrealistic expectations in love.


    Her heart ached so much that it was hard for her to breathe.


    Tears streamed from the corners of Ellie’s eyes to her temples.


    The following day, there were no sses scheduled. Ellie woke up early, nning to head to the library.


    At first, Baylee was still groggy, but when she heard that Ellie was going out, she suddenly woke up.


    Right after waking up, people often show their true emotions. Ellie instantly noticed the concern on Baylee’s face.


    “Do you know everything?” Ellie asked, trying to sound nonchnt.


    Baylee gave a nod in response.


    “Don’t worry. I’m all right,” Ellie said, slipping theptop into her handbag.


    Baylee embraced Ellie, offeringfort for a short while.


    As Ellie walked from the dorm to the library, she overheard students chatting about Carole and Kaiden. It felt like she was torturing herself by listening.

    Stories of romance in wealthy families, a dashing man and a stunning woman, lovers since childhood—such tales were always fascinating.


    Each word of the gossip felt like a knife stabbing Ellie’s heart. The pain forced her to be more conscious.


    Kaiden was aware of Ellie’s ss schedule and knew she had no sses, so he thought she would probably sleepte. He didn’t knock on the door of Ellie’s dormitory until half past eight.


    He anticipated Ellie might be a bit grumpy in the morning. To his surprise, it wasn’t Ellie who opened the door.


    “Mr. Thorpe, your visit is quite an honor,” Baylee greeted him, her voice oozing sarcasm, Kaiden’s gaze briefly swept past Baylee, searching for Ellie. “Ellie hasn’t woken up yet?”


    “She’s already left.”


    “Where did she go?” Kaiden asked, frowning.


    Didn’t he say that he woulde to visit her?


    Baylee, with a forced smile, said to Kaiden, “I have no idea.”


    “When did you start teaming up with Marvin, Mr. Thorpe?” Baylee sneered.
