Chapter 21:
Watching Jayden interact with the woman, Elyse couldn’t shake the feeling that he had a hand in orchestrating the chaos. “The wedding will be canceled. Let’s go back,” Jayden gently patted the back of her hand, and they left the chaotic venue.
Once seated in his luxury car, Elyse raised the partition and questioned, “Do you know that woman?”
Jayden fiddled with his ring and replied, “Why would you think that?”
“I saw how she interacted with you,” Elyse pressed, her voice tinged with surprise. “You planned this disruption, didn’t you?”
“You’re overthinking it. Do you really think I have that much free time?” Jayden looked at the excited Elyse and explained, “That woman needed to get into the hotel, and I simply asked someone to assist her. That’s all there was to it.”
“Oh, I see. I almost believed you had orchestrated the entire event.”
“I don’t need to scheme against Xander. He’s perfectly capable of creating his own problems,” Jayden remarked.
“That’s true,” Elyse agreed, nodding. “It’s the first time I’ve seen someone so foolish. Does he have many children with different women?”
“I don’t know how many children he has out there. I only know that his family will be the talk of the town tomorrow. The scandal will likely hurt their stock price, and Egan Brooks will be livid.”
As he finished speaking, something occurred to him. He turned to Elyse and said, “You conducted yourself well at the wedding today. You didn’t embarrass me. What would you like as a reward?”noveldrama
After a brief pause, Elyse smiled and replied, “I don’t need a gift. It’s my role as your wife to uphold your dignity and honor.”
“Then let me give you a credit card. How much would you like?” he offered.
“I don’t want money. Please don’t give me money,” Elyse responded earnestly.
Jayden fell silent, puzzled by her refusal of money. He couldn’t help but wonder if she was putting on an act to show she wasn’t interested in money.
