Chapter 279:

Jayden sneered coldly after hearing Glenda’s full confession. As he stroked Elyse’s soft hair, his eyes gleamed

with chilling intent. “If your plan had succeeded, do you think I would have lifted the ban or spared your lives?”

he said icily.

Glenda shivered under the weight of Jayden’s formidable presence. Her legs trembled, and within seconds, her

knees buckled, forcing her to sit on the floor. Lanny, too, was terrified, recognizing the seriousness in Jayden’s

tone. In desperation, he fell to his knees and pleaded, “Mr. Owen, please spare us. The bllies with Mabel.

We... we had no part in this.”

The smile on Jayden’s face widened, but his eyes remained harsh, filled with a palpable threat. He couldnt help

but think back to the previous day, thankful for his suspicions that had prevented Glenda from hurting Elyse. The

thought of what might have happened had haunted him all night. He was determined to shield Elyse from any

harm.

“You want to live? | might allow that,” Jayden said, his voice eerily calm as he forced a twisted smile. “Bring

Mabel here to apologize in person, and then | might consider sparing your lives.”

Elyse bit her lip, wanting to interject, but Jayden quickly covered her mouth. She looked up at him, her eyes

blinking innocently and filled with confusion. He held her closer, surmising that in her naive way, she might have

been about to plead for her family’s mercy. But he couldn’t stand the thought of it.

Unaware of his turmoil, Elyse would have defended her position had she known. Despite her naivety, she would

never have pleaded for those who had sought to harm her, even if they were her family. What truly surprised her

was the depth of Jayden’s protectiveness. Though he seldom expressed his feelings openly, it was clear to her

now that he cared deeply for her.

Upon hearing Jayden’s conditional offer of mercy, Lanny immediately responded with relief. “Thank you, Mr.

Owen. You are so generous. | promise to bring Mabel to you and have her apologize.”

Glenda remained silent, her thoughts turbulent. She had never truly loved Elyse, and the idea that her own

daughter, Mabel, might have to apologize to her was unsettling. She wasn’t sure if Mabel would agree to such a

thing; she herself found it difficult to stomach. But in their current predicament, she recognized they had little

choice.

Jayden, resolute and authoritative, set the terms. “Tie her up and bring her towithin three days,” he said

firmly, having set a deadline.

Lanny agreed quickly, and with that, he hurried Glenda out of the villa. He feared that if they lingered, Jayden

might change his mind and decide to end their lives right there. Once safely inside their car, both exhaled

deeply, relieved to have escaped the intense atmosphere.

Glenda, looking uneasy, asked, “Do we really have to tie up Mabel and deliver her to Jayden? | don’t think it will

end well for her. Jayden is clearly not someone to be trifled with.”

“Now you realize it's foolish to mess with Jayden. I've been telling you not to provoke him, but you wouldn't

listen,” Lanny retorted sharply as he turned the steering wheel. “I didn’t have to be part of this mess. It’s all your

fault. Mabel’s out of her right mind, and so are you,” he added angrily.

Feeling aggrieved, Glenda protested, “My daughter has been wronged. Shouldn't | stand by her? You never care

about her.”

“If you care so much, go deal with it yourself. I'm done,” Lanny snapped, his patience worn thin.

Glenda’s heart sank, fearing he might actually sit by and do nothing. The thought of facing Jayden alone terrified

her. She had always heard about Jayden’s fiery temper, but she hadn't expected him to be potentially lethal.

After escorting Lanny and Glenda off the premises, Driscoll returned to the villa. Noticing Elyse’s distressed

demeanor, he offered words of reassurance. “Mrs. Owen, please don’t worry. Mr. Owen is here. He won't let

anything happen to you.”

After a prolonged silence, Elyse nodded and attempted a smile. “I'm hungry. | want to eat breakfast.”

Jayden noticed her forced smile and reached out, pinching her cheek, his tone uncharacteristically harsh. “If you

don’t want to smile, then don’t. A forced smile looks terrible.”

“Don’t touchif you think my smile is ugly,” Elyse retorted, brushing away his hand and pouting.

“You only act tough with me,” Jayden said, half annoyed, half amused. She only ever dared to show her defiant

side to him. She was truly only assertive with those who cared about her deeply, while she tended to be too

accommodating with everyone else.

In response, Jayden deliberately pinched both her cheeks this time. “Don’t touch me. I'm upset now,” Elyse

protested, her voice tinged with unhappiness.

Seeing her on the verge of tears, Jayden softened and pulled her into his arms. “You're upset again. | was

defending you, wasn’t I? I'll make those who upset you kneel and apologize,” he said, trying to console her.
