Chapter 766
Cole had always been known for his apathy and unwavering calm, but after marrying Elliana, his temper had become unpredictable, and he’d grown quite childish at times. Now, with his…
memory of her gone, everyone had assumed he’d return to his cool, distant self, but it seemed that whenever Elliana was involved, his demeanor instantly shifted back to that familiar version. Cole’s subconscious possessiveness of Elliana remained unchanged despite his memory loss. One compliment from her toward another man was enough to send his jealousy into overdrive, turning him into a storm.
Myles, Aron, and the driver lowered their heads, waiting for the storm to pass.
Then, Cole’s dry, sarcastic voice broke the silence. “Since you three have managed to win the attention of a tycoon’s daughter, clearly, you’re all wasted here. Maybe you should become her kept men. Staying with me would be an absolute waste of your remarkable qualities.”
Myles, Aron, and the driver exchanged desperate glances, wondering just how long Cole’s jealousy would keep burning.
Hugh let out a quiet laugh as he watched Myles, Aron, and the driver shift uncomfortably in their seats.
Paulina found the situation mildly amusing, and a tiny smile threatened to break through. She looked over at Cole. “Mr. Evans, weren’t you planning to visit the Enlightenment Institute today? How about I accompany you? You shouldn’t waste your time or energy on these idiots. I’ll handle them myself later.”
Standing opposite Ublento Medical University, the Enlightenment Institute loomed tall and intimidating. Guards patrolled the front, making the place feel both highly respectable and shrouded in secrecy.
A sharp look from Cole landed on the building, and his voice cut through the air. “Not today. Make it next time.”
He wasn’t in the mood for the visit anymore. Instead of the usual calm, irritation tangled his thoughts and left him on edge.

“Maybe it’s best if you just head home and rest,” Paulina suggested in a softer tone. “You’ve been working nonstop lately. You must be exhausted.”
Cole pressed his fingers to his temples and let the silence stand as his answer. Paulina wasted no time and turned her attention to Hugh. “You drive.” Hugh hurried over and slid behind the wheel.
A cold glare from Paulina fell on Myles, Aron, and the driver. “The three of you stay put and reflect on the mess you’ve made. Don’t come back until you’ve thought it through.”
With that, she climbed into the front seat beside Hugh and said, “Start the car.” A second later, the vehicle pulled away, leaving Myles, Aron, and the driver in the wake of swirling dust.
Left behind, the three men stared at the car fading from sight and released a long, collective sigh.
“I just don’t get it,” Aron remarked. “Back when Mr. Evans was with Ms. Marsh, every fight between them meant trouble for us. Now he’s forgotten her, but we’re still catching hell. What did we do to deserve this?”
Myles pushed his glasses higher up his nose. “Cut it out, Aron. Mr. Evans loses his cool every time Ms. Marsh is around. It’s not the first time he’s lashed out because of jealousy, and it definitely won’t be the last. We should be used to it by now.”
No one could argue with Myles. They were long past being surprised.
