?Chapter 763:


    “Ellie, I believe in you and Mr. Thorpe,” one student suddenly said, breaking the silence.


    “Mr. Thorpe’s innocence isn’t in doubt for me either,” another added, echoing the sentiment of trust and support.


    “Me too,” echoed voices, one after another, filling the room with a chorus of solidarity.


    A warmth spread through Ellie’s heart as she responded, “Thank you all.” Once the room had emptied, save for a few, Susanna approached Ellie with a concerned look. “El, are you really okay?”


    Before Ellie could reply, Daniel entered the scene. “Do you need my help?” he offered.


    Ellie, grateful yet firm, declined, “Not now.”


    Kaiden had too many obligations with the GT Group, so Ellie had asked him not to skip work to drive her to ss.


    Exiting the school, Ellie was besieged by a swarm of reporters.


    They surged forward, a cacophony of shouts and questions, as cameras and microphones invaded her space.


    Caught off guard, Ellie stumbled on the stair’s edge, her bnce lost in an instant.


    “Elsie!” Daniel’s voice cut through the chaos as he reached out, catching her arm, his face a mask of concern.


    The reporters didn’t let up, their questions like daggers. “Ellie, may I ask if you knew anything about your husband, Mr. Kaiden Thorpe, being mentally ill?”


    “Do you fear lying next to a man once used of setting a fire, ending another’s life?”


    “Is a divorce on the horizon for you?”


    Questions, sharp as knives, bombarded Ellie from all sides.


    A sharp pain pierced her right ankle, yet Ellie remained upright, leaning on Daniel for support.


    “Have you injured yourself?” Daniel’s concern was palpable as he noticed Ellie’s difort.


    She only shook her head in response, suspecting a sprain in her ankle.


    “What was that you called me? I couldn’t catch it,” Ellie inquired.


    “Um, El,” Daniel lied. “It’s what Susanna often calls you.”


    “Ellie, anyments on the controversy surrounding your husband?”


    “Ellie, can you tell us where Kaiden is at the moment? Why hasn’t he made a statement yet?”


    “Is it true your husband has a mental illness? Did he manipte his psychiatric evaluation to avoid legal repercussions?”


    Ellie faced the reporters with an icy stare, unfazed.


    Susanna quickly moved past Daniel to stand by Ellie’s side, showing her support for Ellie and her rtionship.


    “How can you prove Kaiden has a mental illness? And what legal repercussions are you implying? I want you to be clear about what you’re using him of,” Ellie asked, her voice steady yet filled with an undeniable force.
