“He stoodup! Can you believe it? He sent someone else in his place! Elyalo ranted, her voice laced with
disbelief and anger
“Whoa, talk about being a jerk? Keaton raised his eyebrows, clearly taken aback by the audacity
“Could you just confront him? Ask him if he even has the guts to call himself a man? It's downright despicable!
We had plans to meet and he sends a stand in What's he playing at? A man’s word is his bond, and this... this is
just shameless! He doesn’t even have the courage to face a woman? That's cowardly, not what you'd expect
from a real man. I've lost all respect for him.”
Elysia’s trade was relentless, leaving Kenton completely dumbfounded.
She was spitting fire with words that even Keaton wouldn't dare say.
Not only did Keaton let the speakerphone capture every word, but he also thrust the phone in Tarquin’s face,
making sure none of Elysia’s verbal lashing was wasted.
Tarquin’s lips were pressed into a thin line, his complexion darkening.
Snatching Keaton’s phone, he ended the call, tossed it onto the table, and got up to leave
“Hey, hey, hey, that’s the latest model! Don’t you dare break in Keaton’s concern for his phone was palpable.
Without looking back, Tarquin left the private room and headed straight for Elysia.

Elysia, having been hung up on, didn’t bother to call back. She was fuming.
She had high hopes for today - hopes of finalizing her divorce from Tarquin. And now this....
It felt like a cruel joke!
She had felt guilt over him, never once bad-mouthing or resenting him, and he couldn’t even bother to show up!
If he didn’t want to see her, he could have simply said so. But agreeing to meet and then pulling a no-show?
Her frustration was akin to that of soccer fans who'd bought tickets to see a soccer star play, only to find out he
wasn't taking the field. Feeling played and utterly annoyed.
While fans could at least chant for a refund, what could she do?
Apart from yelling at Keaton, she couldn't even get a glimpse of Tarquin.
At this point, Callum was thoroughly shocked. He even wondered if Elysia truly knew who Tarquin was. How could
she dare to curse him
out like this?
“Elysia, just calm down, will you? What's going on between you and Tarquin? if there’s something you want to
say, | can pass it on. | mean, you guys..
Before Callum could finish, Tarquin appeared, his anger evident.
Callum opened his mouth to speak, but Tarquin cut him off with a terse, “Move”
Keaton quickly pulled Callum away, not allowing him a singer word.
Surprised to see him, Elysia asked with discontent.
you want, Tarin? Got something to say to me?”
“Isn't this what you wanted?” Tarquin would rather reveal hue tharlet Elysia continue to brand him as dishonest
and cowardly.
But Elysia, seemingly without a clue, frowned and asked, “Who asked for you? Wait...is something wrong with
Elijah?”
It was Heath.
Just as Tarquin was about to respond, his phone rang.
“Mr. Bradford, you need to cback. Allegra Bradford has shown up!”
Allegra was Tarquin’s aunt who always seemed to be waiting for Elijah’s downfal
Tarquin’s expression darkened, and without a word, he dashed out of the café.
Elysia was left bewildered. “Hey, you...”

Uncertain whether something had happened to Elijah, she momentarily pushed aside her anger o scooter, racing
towards Sunshine Community.
The winter was harsh, with snow falling thick and fast
Elysia stumbled several times on the way, finally arriving at Sunshine Community out of breath.
As she approached the entrance, a woman's scream pierced the air - “Ah! Ah! Ah...”
Before Elysia could react, a woman dressed to the nines ctumbling down the stairs, crashing at her feet.

Elysia was stunned.
“Madam!” A man nished over, showing Elysia aside to help the fallen woman.
The man’s push was forceful, sending Elysia sprawling several feet away
