Chapter 126 You'll Soon Be Marrying Your Beloved Thinking of the shy expression on Judy's face, Elyse asked, feeling hurt, "It's just a contract. Why did you keep it fromand say it was a secret between the two of you?" Jayden was utterly confused. What secret? How could there be any secret between him and Judy? Elyse waited for Jayden to explain, but all she got was a puzzled look, making her feel like she was being impolite for pressing the issue.

At that moment, Theo's face flashed in Elyse's mind.

Once upon a time, she and Theo were solid. He treated her well. But then Kaelyn entered the picture, and Theo's heart took a turn.

A shiver ran down Elyse's spine. Was history repeating itself? Would she have to endure the agony of abandonment once more? She held back the pain in her heart, her grip on her clothes tightening. "I've got nothing left to say." 6 With those words, tears began to spill uncontrollably, as if a dam had burst Seeing her tears, Jayden was taken aback, his instinct urging him to reach for her hand, but she slipped away before he could touch her.

"Oh, my, what's wrong?" Driscoll's voice broke the tension as he caught sight of Elyse running out. He hadn't expected to find her in tears.

Concern etched on his face, he hurried to Elyse's side. "Are you alright? Did Mr. Owen upset you?" Jayden sat in silence, feeling unjustly accused. He hadn't done anything to upset her.

Ignoring Driscoll's questions, Elyse bolted upstairs, her tears flowing freely, leaving a trail of anguish in her wake. Watching her go, Judy, lurking in the shadows, smirked to herself. It was a mere ploy of hers, but enough to unsettle Elyse. What a gullible woman! Joanna's failure against such a woman was a stain on their family's reputation.

Judy slipped away to her room, summoning her driver. "You can head hnow. I'll be staying at Jayden's for a whil The driver, taken aback, inquired, "Wow, how did you manage it? Joanna never succeeded." "Don't compareto her. She's a dimwit who can only please men in bed" Impressed, the driver pressed for details. "So, are you aiming to replace Elyse? Do you have a plan?" Judy sneered and responded, "Elyse is easier to manipulate than 1 thought! A little trickery and she'll be going crazy. How Joanna bungled this, I'll never comprehend!" The driver grinned. "So you'll soon be marrying your beloved?" "We'll see. Rushing things won't win Jayden's heart. We need to take it slow." With a self-satisfied smile, Judy said, "You go on home. I'll be staying here. And don't breathe a word to my brother, or try to reach me. I'll get in touch when I'm ready." The driver nodded. "Understood. I'll hit the road then." Judy tossed her phone aside and collapsed onto the bed as happy as Larry, visions of her future with Jayden dancing in her head.

"Elyse is so fragile, like a delicate glass figurine waiting to be shattered. But fear not, I'l shatter her slowly!" Calculating the time, Judy emerged from her room around dinner.

The table was set, and Jayden, summoned from his study by Driscoll, sat waiting.

Noticing Elyse's absence, Judy feigned concern. "Mr. Owen, Ms. Lloyd isn't down yet. Should I fetch her?"

Jayden had no idea why Elyse was acting that way. And he desired to be unaffected by it All Xe could think was that young females were troublesome. If he ignored her, Elyse always blew her top.

Jayden, clueless about Elyse's distress, dismissed it. "No she's not hungry lethed, th be." Driscoll opened his mouth, but a glance from Judy silenced him.

As Jayden approached the table and higand started eating, Judy served him and stood next to Driscoll. It was her пехеда responsibility to be a maid, but could she truly be willing to do such a job? Glancing around, she remarked, "The aroma in the kitchen was tantalizing. Mind if I join you for dinner, now that the table is set?"
