?<strong>Chapter 650:</strong>


    Elyse clutched her chest in pain. After a moment, she picked up her phone, her voice shaky as she asked, “Can you exin what happened? I need the full story.”


    Shaun, clearly distraught, kept repeating, “Tracy is dead,” unable to say anything else. Overwhelmed, Elyse resolved to find Shaun herself to uncover the truth. How could Tracy, who was just fine days ago, suddenly be dead?


    Elyse hung up, quickly changed her clothes, and headed downstairs. Unaware of the situation, Driscoll stood in her way and said hesitantly, “Mr. Owen has instructed that you are not to go out.”


    Elyse was about to respond when a thought struck her. If what Shaun imed was true and Tracy really was dead, could Jayden be aware of it?


    Taking a deep breath to steady her emotions, Elyse firmly said, “I need to go to thepany to see Jayden.”


    Relieved, Driscoll replied, “I’ll inform him this instant.” Elyse nodded, and once Driscoll had notified Jayden, Elyse got into her car and drove to thepany.


    Knowing Elyse was on her way, Jayden entered the building. A secretary immediately guided her to the elevator upon her arrival.


    When Elyse reached the CEO’s office, Jayden was absorbed in thepany’s quarterly financial statement. Without looking up, he said, “Give me a moment. I’ll be with you shortly.”


    Patiently, Elyse sat on the sofa and waited for Jayden. After half an hour, Jayden finished his work, joined Elyse on the sofa, and asked gently, “What brings you here? Did you change your mind about the divorce?”


    Elyse looked at Jayden and inquired calmly, “Do you know anything about Tracy?”


    Jayden paused, then asked, “Tracy?”


    Elyse pressed on, “So you knew Tracy was dead?”


    Jayden checked his phone and saw a missed message from Troy; regret was visible in his eyes. He had been too caught up and missed the notification!


    Resigned, Jayden asked, “What do you want to know about Tracy?”


    Tears welled up in Elyse’s eyes. “So you really knew Tracy was dead but didn’t think to tell me.”


    Feeling helpless, Jayden admitted, “I was shocked by her death too. I didn’t tell you because I was afraid it would break your heart, especially since you were still recovering.”


    Elyse asked, “When did she die? What else do you know? I need all the details.”


    Jayden rubbed his temples and exined, “After Tracy left our ce, she went to see Shaun. She left his ce that night and went back to her own home. The next morning, Shaun went to look for Tracy and found that she wasn’t home.”


    Elyse, shocked, voiced her concerns urgently. “She might just not be home. Maybe she ran away on her own. How can you be so sure she’s dead?”


    Jayden frowned and said, “It was Shaun who told me. He ims that Tracy died at sea near Liverton.”


    Elyse was puzzled and asked, “Liverton? When did Tracy go there? And why would she die at sea?”


    Jayden shook his head and said, “I’m not sure. My team has been searching the area, but so far, they haven’t discovered Tracy’s body.”


    Elyse nervously bit her finger. This doesn’t make sense. Why would Tracy go to Liverton, only to end up dead in the sea?


    Suddenly, Elyse remembered a dream she had previously. In the dream, Tracy had fallen off a cliff into the sea. That dream hade true.


    Feeling a wave of dizziness, Elyse held her forehead and, after a brief pause, asked mournfully, “Why didn’t you tell me about Tracy’s death earlier?”


    Jayden frowned again and said, “I thought the news would upset you deeply. I wanted to spare you that pain.”


    Tears rolled down Elyse’s cheeks as she expressed her sorrow, saying, “It’s been nearly two weeks, and I’m only now learning about Tracy. This dy has made me feel…”


    Realizing his approach might have been wed, Jayden softly defended himself. “I just wanted to keep you from feeling too sad. I hoped to keep you happy.”


    Elyse said firmly, “I need to see Shaun. I need to ask him about what happened that day and why Tracy was in Liverton.”


    Jayden nodded but cautiously added, “I’m concerned you might be disappointed. Given his current situation, he might not be able to respond to your questions effectively.”


    Determined, Elyse clenched her jaw and said, “Regardless of his condition, I have to see him and get the answers directly from him.”
