NovelEnglishChapter 310:
“Do you believe she possesses the qualifications to pursue a career in singing?” Jayden posed the chilly
question.
Lanny, masking his disapproval with a forced smile, replied, “No, I'm afraid not. Perhaps her path lies in
marriage, becoming someone's housewife.”
Glenda, her frustration evident, shot Jayden a venomous glare. Jayden, ever observant, noted the shift in
Glenda’s gaze and playfully remarked, “It appears your wife disagrees.”
In a sudden display of anger, Lanny swiftly struck Glenda across the face, his expression twisted into a
malevolent sneer. “If you persist in your dissent, Ill kick you out of my house.”
Being slapped, Glenda composed herself, swallowing any protest. In a subdued tone, she murmured, “I will talk
to Mabel.”
Jayden twirled a ring on his thumb, a subtle hint of menace flickering in his eyes. “You'd best be sincere. Should |
catch wind of Mabel’s aspirations to sing again, there will be consequences.”

Trembling with fear, Lanny acquiesced, pledging to keep Mabel’s dreams suppressed.
After a brief pause, Jayden turned his attention to Elyse. “Furthermore, your daughter has taken something
precious from my wife—her original works. While | won't retaliate against her, she must apologize to Elyse upon
waking,” he added sternly. “And it must be a sincere apology, with her kneeling.”

Lanny and Glenda, just regaining their composure, paled once more, rendered speechless by Jayden’s decree.
At that moment, the operating room’s green light spilled into the corridor as its door swung open. A nurse
emerged, wheeling a hospital bed with Mabel lying on it, her eyes shut tightly, her complexion pale.
Seeing her daughter emerge, Glenda cried out in distress. “Mabel! Sweetheart, please wake up!”
The nurse attempted to push the bed back to the ward, but Glenda’s presence obstructed her. With a patient
smile, she implored, “Ma’am, please remain calm. Your daughter is stable and will awaken soon.”
Wiping away her tears, Glenda followed Lanny to speak with the doctor. With reassurance, the doctor explained,
“She’ll be alright. She has a fractured leg, sbruises, and a moderate concussion. She'll need to stay in the
hospital. Let's get the paperwork sorted.”
With Mabel out of danger, Glenda’s laughter mingled with tears, creating a whimsical sight. Glenda and Lanny
continued to inquire about Mabel’s condition, completely unaware of Elyse’s presence nearby. Seated quietly,
Elyse observed them with silent intensity.
Surprised, Elyse witnessed a genuine display of parental love from Lanny and Glenda. It was a side of them she
hadn't expected, one that revealed their deep affection for their daughter. She had assumed Lanny would
remain stoic and Glenda would uphold her elegant demeanor. Yet here they were, showing unabashed concern
for Mabel.
But what was her role to this couple? Watching Lanny and Glenda intently, Elyse expected them to turn to her,
acknowledge her presence, and include her in their relief for Mabel. Instead, they briskly headed to the elevator,
consumed by the administrative tasks ahead, leaving her unnoticed and unaddressed.
Feeling a pang of sadness, Jayden glanced at Elyse and sighed inwardly. Did she feel neglected and unloved by
her parents? How childish. Jayden gently took Elyse’s hand, his warmth momentarily startling her.
Elyse turned to him, her expression blank, and asked, “What's the matter?”

“Do you want to see Mabel?” Jayden asked casually.
“Do you want to?” Elyse responded, her emotions tangled.
“She’s not my sister. Why should I visit her?” Jayden replied simply.
Without a moment's hesitation, Elyse declared, “Then we shouldn't go. | am well aware she has no desire to see
me, and my presence would only upset them. Her presence would cast a shadow over their joyful moments.”
Jayden promptly responded, “Then let us return home.”
With a glance, Jayden conveyed his silent request to Tobin, and the latter grasped it instantly. Taking charge,
Tobin steered the wheelchair around and headed back towards the elevator.
Upon their return home, as they prepared to unwind, Tess stormed in, her demeanor brimming with fury. With a
firm grip on Elyse’s arm, she demanded, “Divorce. You must divorce my son.”
Perplexed, Elyse countered, “But why should I part ways with Jayden?”
“You've cheated on him,” Tess’s face flushed with indignation. “Even with his disability, | will not tolerate anyone
deceiving him. The notion of Jayden being betrayed cut Tess to the core.”
