?<strong>Chapter 811:</strong>


    Theo pondered for a moment, then extended the roses toward Elyse with a smile. “If you’re curious, ept these roses. Then I’ll tell you.”


    It was just another one of his maniptive tactics.


    Elyse clenched her teeth and took the roses, albeit reluctantly.


    Noticing her reluctance, Theo shook his head. “You don’t seem too keen. You’ve annoyed me now, so I won’t share anything.”


    Elyse’s anger surged, and she almostshed out at Theo.


    However, thinking of Jayden, she restrained herself. Swallowing her frustration, she asked, “What do you need from me to be satisfied?”


    Theo checked his watch, then proposed, “Go on a date with me. I’ll make sure you’re back at your hotel by midnight. Does that work for you?”


    Elyse checked the time, her mind wrestling with the decision for a few seconds before she agreed.


    Theo was visibly pleased, having achieved his aim. He smiled and said, “Your time belongs to me now, so don’t even think about escaping.”


    Elyse closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then nodded.


    Theo looked at her and added, “You should look happy as well. Don’t appear indifferent or hostile. Enjoy the time with me.”


    Elyse frowned. “You’re asking too much.”


    Theo replied earnestly, “If you’re not willing to y along, then there’s no point in me telling you anything.”


    After hesitating several times, Elyse sighed and helplessly said, “I’ll be happy.”


    Theo extended his arm, hinting with his eyes. Elyse stared nkly for a few seconds before catching on.


    She took his arm, offered him a sweet smile, and said cheerfully, “Shall we go on that date then?”


    Theo nodded contentedly. “I’ll buy you anything you want.”


    Just as Elyse was about to object, she noticed Edward, holding a violin case, staring in shock at her arm linked with Theo’s.


    Immediately, Edward looked suspiciously at Theo. “Who are you? Why are you holding Elyse’s arm?”


    Marching ahead, Edward pulled Elyse to his side, his expression darkening with anger. “Is Elyse your girlfriend? What gives you the right to keep her here?”


    Hearing this, Elyse realized that Edward hadpletely misread her situation with Theo. However, before she could correct him, Theo sneered, “As if she’s not!”


    With a quick, firm motion, Theo dragged Elyse back to his side.


    Next, he gripped her shoulders, his voice dripping with arrogance as he raised an eyebrow. “Tell him, are you leaving with me now, or staying with him?”
