Listening to Finnian’s explanation, Dorian broke out in a cold sweat.

Jessica had actually been stalking him and camping out in Finnian’s hallway to spy on him.

He was so horrified he didn’t know what to say. Seeing Elysia’s mocking gaze, he frantically ended the call and stammered, “Ely, let me explain…”

“I swear I had no idea she was looking for me every day. If I had known, I would have chased her away…”

Seriously, he was ready to murder Jessica with his bare hands! Why the hell was she stalking him?

He had already been driving himself crazy trying to figure out a way to win Elysia back, and now Jessica had created yet another disaster!

Jessica ruined Amara’s plans, which meant Elysia was absolutely going to despise him now!

“Save it. What’s the point?”

Elysia threw off his hand and said coldly.

“I was going to hurl a few insults at you after hearing that, but then I realized, what’s the use? Hasn’t this always been the dynamic between you and Jessica?”

“What’s the point of claiming you don’t love her when she clearly acts like she loves you, and you clearly enjoy it?”

“Besides, she stalks you and lurks outside Finnian’s apartment to spy on you. That’s a fact. What good is explaining going to do?”

“Will your excuses magically erase the things she’s done?”

“…”

Dorian was drowning in shame, unable to find a single argument to refute her words.

Elysia continued, “Dorian, you’re a grown man. Stop saying such childish things. Reflect on your own actions. I’m leaving.”

She had come here specifically to chew him out.

Even though the phone call had just proven that Jessica was the rat, not him, did it even matter?

She didn’t need a genius IQ to figure out Jessica’s motive.

Jessica had zero connection to Amara. She leaked the information solely to make Elysia suspect Dorian, thereby driving a wedge between them.

Elysia was completely sick and tired of being dragged into the toxic drama between Dorian and Jessica. Just thinking about it gave her a migraine.

She decided to completely wash her hands of it. After saying her piece, she turned on her heel and marched out.

She left without a second of hesitation, making it painfully obvious she wanted nothing more to do with him.

Dorian stared blankly at her retreating back, wanting to chase after her, but remembering her scathing words, he felt his feet root to the floor.

Jessica had caused a colossal nightmare for Amara. While he wasn’t directly responsible for- Jessica’s actions, she had done it because of him, making him indirectly at fault. ‘FindNovel.net

With that guilt weighing on him, he couldn’t bring himself to run after Elysia.

After she left, Dorian lost all desire to

work. He sat in his office for a while,

then grabbed his jacket, left the building, and drove straight to the Everly Group headquarters.

Jessica worked as a clerk at the Everly Group. Back then, he had personally brought her here to ask for a job.

At the time, she wanted to work at the Hawke Group, but his subconscious had adamantly refused to let her work near him.

Yet, out of duty to her late brother, Jasper Bishop, he felt obligated to secure her a good job and ultimately brought her to Finnian.

Thinking back, he had clearly

harbored deep feelings for Elysian et

even then; otherwise, his

subconscious wouldn’t have feared. upsetting her by hiring Jessica.
