?<strong>Chapter 1026:</strong>
“Elyse! Elyse! I’m here! Did youe to rescue me?” Mabel called out, brimming with excitement.
Elyse looked at the overly excited Mabel andmented yfully, “Mabel, since when were you so thrilled to see me? Just one day apart, and you’ve already changed your attitude towards me?”
Mabel shot a nervous nce at Theo, who hade along, and her expression softened. “Please help me. Theo is going to kill me.”
Elyse looked at Theo, her smile widening. “I can’t help you. You’d better plead with him instead.”
Mabel would never beg Theo; she was absolutely terrified of him and wanted nothing but to get away from him. Theo shed a grin and asked, “What? Do you have a request for me? Let’s hear it.”
Mabel shook her head, quickly adopting a ttering smile. Elyse was momentarily taken aback by the swift change in Mabel’s expression. Was Mabel only ever bold when she was around her?
Theo nced at his watch and stated, “It’s almost time. You better put on a good show. You wouldn’t want to end up chopped into pieces, would you? Just behave yourself, alright?”
Theo ced a firm hand on Mabel’s shoulder, causing her to lower her head even more. Elyse intervened, “Alright, stop frightening her. What if she messes up in front of Kaelyn?”

Theo smiled. “You’re right. Let’s get going.” Elyse gestured towards a small bar in the distance. “Shall we stick to the n?”
Mabel nodded and dutifully followed Elyse. Once they were seated, Mabel eagerly said, “You have to help me, Elyse.
You can’t just stand by and watch me die.” Elyse raised an eyebrow. As soon as Theo was out of sight, Mabel’s true colors emerged.
Elyseughed lightly. “Mabel, stop fighting it. I’m not going to help you.”
Mabel’s look became hostile. Elyse ordered a drink, and while waiting for their meal, she said gravely, “Honestly, if you really want to survive, the person you should be pleading with is Theo, not me.”
Mabel clenched her teeth. This woman was fully aware that Theo would never let her off the hook, yet she still advised her to beg him. How detached and unfeeling Elyse was!
Once the server delivered her drink, Elyse concentrated on it, choosing not to engage further with Mabel. They waited for about twenty minutes before their target, Kaelyn, finally made her appearance.
