Painful Memories

Certain remarks, prone to misunderstanding, were often articulated by Elise Seymore.

Ethan Ainsley observed Lola Hussey moving closer to Elise. He could have done many things. But considering that the Bailey family had been helpless for many years and his current closeness to Lola, he dared not act rashly.

He simply stood there, watching, without intervening.

Lola Hussey withdrew her hand indifferently.

"I don't like you, you know that. But why are you always trying to get close to me like this? I have given you everything you wanted — be it the everlasting prosperity of the Seymore family or your personal security. Can't we just live our own lives and leave each other alone?"

Hearing this, Elise Seymore laughed.

Her smile was faint, but incredibly tender.

Because she had such a face that felt so familiar, nobody could see the slightest hint of her scheming.
