How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue novel Chapter 265

The old woman hesitated for a while, her lips working as if searching for the right words.

At last, her voice dropped to a gentle firmness. “Sweetheart, don’t you worry. I won’t let anyone mistreat you. If you’re ever upset or troubled, just come to me—Grandma will always help you sort it out. As far as the Silverstein family is concerned, you are our one and only granddaughter-in-law.”

Elodie understood the message behind those words.

Grandma was trying to reassure her, but she was also making her stance clear.

Some things simply couldn’t be discussed outright.

Lowering her eyes, Elodie’s gaze remained soft and composed. “Thank you, Grandma.”

Because of the agreement between her and Jarrod, she couldn’t explain the divorce to Grandma. She could only give vague replies.

At the very least, she’d promised Jarrod to play by these rules—and she intended to keep her word.

Grandma asked if she was still at the hospital.

Elodie answered honestly—she’d been there that morning.

Only then did Grandma sound relieved.

After she hung up, Elodie pressed her fingers to her brow.

She had no idea what Jarrod would tell Grandma about Sylvie, but the old woman was sharp. Now that she’d sensed Sylvie’s presence, she’d definitely have someone look into it.

Sooner or later, she would find out just how far Jarrod had gone for Sylvie.

Not only did Sylvie have free rein at Silverstein Group, but he was also helping her set up Neural Intelligence.

With all that, how could their relationships possibly be simple?

Still, that was Jarrod’s problem to solve.

Given how protective he was of Sylvie, he’d surely find a way to handle it.

Elodie let the matter drop.
