Chapter 422
Rylie was stunned. Rylie thought, why did it feel like things were different from what I thought?
It seemed that Elaina hated Jalen very much.
“I… I just wanted to wait,” Rylie said after a long pause. She felt that things had gone out of control.
“Wait?” Elaina frowned, not quite understanding what Rylie meant.
Rylie quickly explained, “My parents also know about my relationship with him. If we break up so quickly, they
will think that it is because of me. I don’t want them to worry. So, I think that even if we want to break up, it
will be better to wait.”
Hearing this, Elaina seemed to understand.
Elaina thought, that was true. Jalen and Rylie were together because Jalen’s parents were interested in
Rylie’s background. Jalen must have already met Rylie’s parents and Rylie also had met Jalen’s parents.
“If he insisted on breaking up with you, you can’t stop him,” Elaina said calmly.
Rylie nodded and said helplessly. “Steven was very supportive of me being with him in the first place, but now
it seems that Steven can’t control him anymore. So, he can’t wait to break up with me.”
Rylie felt that Elaina was a good person. Rylie didn’t want Elaina to be deceived and tried to tell her the truth.
“Steven?” Elaina was keenly aware of this word and felt that something was wrong.
Rylie noticed that Elaina was puzzled and was also a little surprised. “Steven is Jalen’s father, you… don’t
know?”
“His father!” Elaina stood up immediately, and her eyes were full of disbelief.
Elaina thought, Steven had returned? When did he come back?
More importantly, how could Jalen listen to Steven’s arrangements? Shouldn’t Jalen regard Steven as an
enemy?
Things seemed to be different from what Elaina thought. Elaina wondered whether Jalen lied to her.
Elaina suddenly realized that it was not true that his mother committed suicide, and it was not true that his
father left with other women…
Rylie was frightened by Elaina’s reaction. She reached out to pull Elaina’s wrist. “Are you alright? You don’t
know about Steven?”
“Yes.” Elaina sat back in her seat.
Elaina wondered how many things Jalen had hidden from her.
“Steven wants me to marry him, but Jalen seems reluctant.” Rylie even wanted to tell Elaina that Jalen liked
Elaina and wanted to marry Elaina.
Of course, even if Rylie said it, Elaina would not believe it.
Rylie had no idea that there was Ethel between Elaina and Jalen. Before Jalen solved the matter between him and Ethel, Elaina wouldn’t think what Jalen did was for her.
After trying to calm herself down, Elaina asked, “Did you come today to tell me this? Why?”

“I think that maybe Jalen still likes you. It’s just because of Steven. Jalen had no choice but to break. you.” In the end, Rylie decided to tell the truth, lest Jalen and Elaina continue to have any misunderstandings. However, Elaina only wanted to laugh when she heard this. “You’re thinking too much. If someone like Jalen is unwilling, no one can threaten him.” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Elaina added in her mind, not to mention Steven, after all, Jalen treated him like an enemy.
“But…” Rylie still wanted to say something.
Elaina shook her head, indicating that Rylie should not continue. “I understand what you mean, but I have already broken up with him. Now you are his girlfriend. As for how you two get along, it has nothing to do
with me.”
“What if I break up with him? You won’t be with him?” Rylie asked, somewhat worried about Jalen.
Elaina sneered. She said, “I won’t be with a li*r.”
