Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 868

Elena had never expected Elaine to have any connection with Isabella Bennett.

Logically, the two women operated in completely different circles and shouldn't have crossed paths.

"Got it. Thanks."

Since Isabella was involved, all Elena had to do was follow the trail, and she would eventually uncover the truth.

It had been a while since Isabella had caused any trouble; Elena had practically forgotten the woman even existed.

At noon, Dylan Sinclair came to pick Elena up for lunch.

During the meal, Elena casually brought up the topic.

"Do you happen to know what Isabella Bennett is up to these days?"

"Why the sudden interest in her?" Dylan asked, raising a brow.

"It's not that I care about her. Just simple curiosity. Something recently came up that might be connected to her, so I figured I'd ask. If you don't know, I'll just have someone else look into it."

"I honestly have no idea. I despise that woman, so I couldn't care less about what she does. All I know is that after Damian took over the Sinclair Group, Isabella couldn't hack it at the company anymore and quit early on. As for what she's doing now, I'm clueless. Elena, did something happen? Do you need my help?"

Elena shook her head. "No, it's fine. Let's just eat."

After lunch, Dylan drove Elena to a nearby dessert shop. It was Velvet Ember Patisserie.

"Welcome!" the staff greeted warmly as they walked in.

"Didn't we just eat? Why are we buying dessert?" Elena asked.

Dylan offered a mysterious smile. "Today is different. Today, I'm going to personally give you a gift."

As they walked further into the shop, a staff member quickly approached.

"What can I get for you two?" Dylan pulled out a sleek black card. "I need access to the kitchen."

The moment the employee saw the card, her expression shifted to one of absolute reverence.

"Right this way, please!"

Dylan led Elena into the back.

It was a massive, pristine kitchen space, with stations perfectly laid out and stocked with high-end baking equipment.

Elena looked down at the familiar style of the pastry, and suddenly, the pieces clicked into place.

"How do you know the signature recipes of Velvet Ember? Wait... are you the designer?"

"Got it in one. Velvet Ember is my brand. I personally design all the featured daily specials."

No wonder the store manager had treated them like royalty when she and Bianca came in last time.

The person who had taken the manager's phone call from headquarters had been Dylan himself.

"Try it." Dylan scooped up a small bite and gently fed it to her.

"Mmm. It's amazing. Definitely tastes like a masterpiece!"

Seeing the look of absolute satisfaction on Elena's face, a soft, indulgent smile touched Dylan's lips.

"Honestly, being able to personally make a sweet treat for the person you love is the best feeling in the world."

"I am a bit curious, though. You're a high-powered CEO. How did you end up as a master pastry chef?"
