Chapter 461:
Bruce pondered aloud, saying, “Maybe… he argued with his wife? Marriage is such a burden. Kaiden would never have acted so impulsively before marriage, lashing out at work and his staff p>
Jerome thought it over. That didn’t seem right.
Everything at the banquet last night had seemed fine. The topics in their social circle were “Kaiden standing up for Ellie” and “Kaiden protecting Ellie.” Those who previously saw Ellie as just a fling were starting to respect her, especially after last night.
Several wealthy families were even encouraging their children to reconnect with Ellie.
How could Ellie and Kaiden have had a dispute right after that event?
Finally, at five in the afternoon, the workday concluded.
Kaiden couldn’t stay at the office any longer and returned to Moon Manor.
The executives heaved a sigh of relief, feeling like they had just dodged a bullet.

“She left early this morning,” a servant replied.
Kaiden settled on the sofa, opening his laptop to work.
As time ticked away, he was unable to concentrate on his emails.
He kept his focus firmly fixed on the front door.
But by eleven o’clock, there was still no sign of Ellie.
Kaiden’s expression grew increasingly grim.

“What? Staying out?” Cayson was taken aback, as if struck by a bolt of lightning.
Kaiden was already seething with frustration. Adding fuel to the fire, Ellie decided not to come home!
“Yeah, I’m back at Critport University. I’ll be here for a bit due to certain arrangements, and it’s quite secure here,” Ellie explained. She realized she couldn’t conceal her location from Kaiden’s probing, so she opted for honesty.
