Chapter 1406:
Elyse woke up and wandered into the living room, where she found Jayden shouting into the phone.
“Why are you calling me? Call your parents!” he yelled, his anger barely contained.
Elyse listened intently to the voice on the other end and recognized it was Shaun.
“You're perfectly capable of booking your own hotel room!” Jayden’s voice escalated. “Why do you need to move
in with us? Are you after my wife or something?”
Elyse was in the middle of a sip of water when she heard this, causing her to choke.
Jayden rubbed his temples in frustration as he listened to Shaun's response.

“I'm already going out of my way to help you,” he retorted. “Don’t depend on us. We weren't even close before
you lost your memory!”
With that, he hung up.
Elyse dabbed her mouth with a tissue as she looked at Jayden with a confused expression.
“What on earth has gotten into Shaun?” she asked.
“He must have seen Dolores and Lowell at the hospital yesterday. Apparently, it didn’t go well,” Jayden sighed.
“He thinks the hospital is full of lunatics and wants to be discharged to escape them.”
“Doesn't he remember Dolores or Lowell?” Elyse asked, surprised.
“Nope. He even insulted Dolores,” Jayden responded.
“That's strange,” Elyse murmured, her expression thoughtful.
They chatted briefly, then grabbed breakfast before heading to their respective workplaces.

After reaching the TV station, Elyse unexpectedly encountered Nick. He was also a guest on the show she was
participating in.
They stared at each other in stunned silence.
Elyse quickly averted her gaze, attempting to keep her distance.
“What?” Nick scoffed. “Are you afraid to face me?”
“Why would | be?” Elyse retorted, looking annoyed.

“Are you still not going to admit that you played all those dirty tricks at the Swan Cup? How can someone be so
shameless?” Nick sneered.
Elyse took a deep breath to maintain her composure. “You say | cheated. Where's the proof?” she countered
confidently. “You claim you were an eyewitness, but | never saw you during the competition.”
“Of course, you didn’t see me. You knockedout of the competition early,” Nick shot back, his gaze icy.
Elyse frowned. She was about to respond when Nick turned and walked away.
Chloe, observing the exchange, looked concerned. “Do you think he'll try to smear your name?” she asked Elyse.
Elyse sighed. “I don’t know,” she responded. “He's accusingof cheating, but he has no proof. He's just
playing the victim.”
“This is a crucial tfor your career,” Chloe said worriedly. “He seems like he'd exaggerate just to gain fame.”
“Hopefully, he won't,” Elyse replied, though doubt flickered across her face.
