NovelEnglishChapter 173 Bryce Resented Elyse
"How could any employee listen towhen | don't even work there?" Jayden stated firmly. Clenching her teeth
in frustration, Tess found herself without a rebuttal.
Jayden glanced at a dejected Bryce and suggested, "If you're concerned about Bryce, consider planning a future
for him. I can't help hi
Bryce retorted loudly, "It's clear you don't want to help. You're the one who toldto leave the company. You
have no respect for me."
"Why do you look down on him?" Tess interjected.
Jayden tilted his head, picked up the teapot, and poured a cup of tea for Elyse. His voice carried a note of
indifference. "If Bryce truly had potential, Grandpa would have noticed
it
Tess was at a loss for words.
Indeed, Enzo had little faith in Bryce. When Jayden was healthy, Enzo frequently invited him to stay for dinner or
to chat in the study.

It was evident to everyone that Jayden was highly favored by Enzo.
Bryce wasn't accorded the streatment. At Enzo's birthday party, those young men were invited to the study
for a discussion, but not Bryce.
Tess's face showed her frustration. She had two children and couldn't understand why only Jayden was favored
while Bryce was overlooked.
Casting a glance at the silent Elyse, a flicker of annoyance crossed Tess's face. "You treat your
wife better than your own brother. Remember, he's your family by blood."
Suddenly called upon, Elyse sat up straight and looked anxiously at Tess. w
Jayden glanced unhappily at his mother and said, "Our family has never cared much about blood ties. You know
that, Mom."
Tess's face turned pale, and she was too angry to respond immediately.
The Owen family's motto was "profit first".
In the pursuit of profits, kinship meant little. Only money and power mattered.
Everyone in the Owen family upheld this principle, Tess and Andrew included.
Jayden gave a scornful laugh.
Tess only brought up blood ties now because it suited her needs.
Such a great mother she was!
"Enough! Bryce needs to establish himself in the company. As his brother, it's your duty to help him! Bryce,
starting today, you're going to live with your brother and learn from him," Tess declared, ignoring everything
else.
After saying this, she glanced at Jayden's legs and added, "Your legs may be weak, but your mind is sharp."
Elyse's expression grew darker. How could Tess say such a thing about her son? Didn't she realize how sensitive
Jayden was about his legs?
She was so furious that she felt compelled to stand up for Jayden. No matter how aggressive Tess was, she
couldn't bring herself to hurt her own son.
But Jayden sensed what she was about to do and stopped her. He said with a hint of annoyance, "It's fine. He can
stay."
Seeing Jayden's agreement, Tess's mood improved. She tilted her head up slightly, regaining her pride, and
declared arrogantly, "Just guide

your brother. The Owen Group will belong to us one day."
With that, she left, leaving Bryce, Jayden, and Elyse behind.
Elyse, with a mix of emotions crossing her face, finally turned to Driscoll and instructed, "Prepare a guest room
for him."
Driscoll nodded respectfully and directed a servant to get the room ready.
Meanwhile, Bryce lounged on the sofa as if he owned the place, giving Jayden a disdainful look.
"Like it or not, you have to help me. I'm the future of our family now."
Elyse was puzzled by how Bryce had been raised, to look down on his own elder brother. She
frowned and stood up, clearly unhappy. "You think this is your house? Why should he help you? If you're the
future of the family, prove it yourself!"
Bryce was taken aback by Elyse's defense of Jayden. He snapped, "Bitch, you have no right to interfere in our
conversation!"
"This is my home, and I'll speak if | want to!" Elyse retorted sharply.
A dark look crossed Bryce's face. He resented Elyse; he blamed her for Joanna's death.
His voice low and cold, he declared, "You've never been and will never be my sister-in-law. | refuse to accept
you!"
