Chapter 650:
The ind evening was cool and refreshing. Outside, the noise from the hall was muffled, leaving the sound of the night breeze through the palm trees and the waves hitting the shore in the distance.
The moon shone brightly that night, illuminating the swimming pool nearby with shimmering light.
The scene’s beauty made Carole feel unexpectedly anxious.
“Kaiden, why did you want to talk out here?”
“You mentioned something about Ellie and a guy spending a lot of time together in the vi.”
“Oh? Yes, I can see Ellie’s vi from mine. It was odd seeing Miss Curtis staying outside that day. Then I noticed Garfield, the butler, taking some men’s clothing inside.”
Carole couldn’t hide her eagerness. He was finally getting to the point!
“And about Garfield, he seems to treat Ellie quite differently. At first, I thought you owned the ind, and that’s why he was so respectful toward Ellie. But when I asked around, that wasn’t the case… It turns out Ellie has a lot of connections.”
After Carole stopped talking, she noticed Kaiden looking at her with an expression that seemed to carry a deeper meaning. “Kaiden, is something the matter?”
A wave of unease washed over her. She reyed her previous words in her mind, checking for any mistakes, and let out a quiet sigh of relief.
“The man you were talking about…” Kaiden began. “That was me.”
It felt like a bolt from the blue to Carole. She stared at Kaiden, disbelief etched on her face, her mouth open to speak but no words came out for quite a while. Kaiden went on, “And I know the owner of the ind.”
“How can that be…” Carole was still hung up on what he had just revealed. “You mean, it was you? Then the woman’s voice I heardst night…”
“It was Ellie’s.”

A look of shock crossed Carole’s face. She had suggested to Ellie that Kaiden might be unfaithful. No wonder Ellie looked at her as if she were the butt of a joke… Ellie had known all along!
It had been Ellie and Kaiden from the start, and she was the only one left out of the loop!
Ellie had done it deliberately!
Having conveyed his message, Kaiden turned to search for Ellie. To his surprise, she was already nearby, casually leaning against a pir with her arms crossed, a smile ying on her lips.
Carole, who had been observing Kaiden, reeled at the sight of Ellie. The shock made her stagger. Ellie… Had Ellie overheard her?
“When did you get here?” Kaiden approached and took Ellie’s hand.
It was cold from the night air, so he gently warmed it with his thumb. Ellie cast a sardonic nce at Carole before entering the hall with Kaiden. “I’ve been here since you were. Just making sure you weren’t flirting with anyone else,” she said candidly.
