Chapter 263 Unwavering

Corrie appeared to be persuading, but in reality, she was boasting.

She was showing off her closeness with Tess in front of Elyse.

Corrie intentionally directed her ments at Jayden, knowing that Elyse would understand. "I

never imagined your mother would favor me so much, even hoping for us to marry," she said, with

exaggerated gestures.

"Apparently, she publicly expressed her desire for you to divorce Ms. Lloyd and marry me. Now everyone sees me as the ideal daughter-in-law in her eyes."

While saying this, Corrie glanced at Elyse, who remained silent.

Corrie then took Elyse's hand and said, "This must hurt you deeply, right? I empathize, being a woman myself, I understand your position."

When Elyse observed Corrie's affected demeanor, a slight twitch appeared at the corners of her mouth, yet she refrained from responding.

Corrie went on, "If you feel wronged, just say so. I will make sure to set boundaries with Jayden so you won't get hurt."

Elyse found Corrie's behavior truly repulsive. But she maintained her posure, seemingly

unaffected by Corrie's words.

She believed that if she placed herself correctly and regained control of her love for Jayden, she

would not be hurt in this relationship.

Quietly, Elyse her hand. She had a strong dislike for Corrie, even with the slightest

contact would make her unfortable.

Jayden, placing her arm around Elyse's waist, looked down at her, observing her expression.

Elyse's face remained impassive, devoid of any expression.

Jayden felt puzzled. Wasn't Elyse upset by Corrie's remarks?

However, he remained fiercely protective of Elyse.

Furrowing his brow, he suggested, "Why don't you speak to my mom directly and ask her to refrain from talking such bullshit?"

After a brief pause, he taunted, "By the way, aren't you supposed to be dating Brook? Doesn't my mom know about that? If you're not careful, Brook might just leave you."

Corrie tensed up, forcing a strained smile. She feigned ignorance, asking, "What are you talking about? Why don't you go and tell her yourself?"

"Brook won't tolerate things like this. If you still want to be with him, you should stop these

rumors, or he might end things with you."

Jayden smiled mysteriously

He understood Brook well.

Brook might have agreed to date Corrie partly to one-up him.

He could imagine how proud Brook would feel if he could claim his rival's ex-girlfriend.

Now, with Tess's gossip spreading, the situation might reverse, making Brook look foolish. With his pride, Brook wouldn't want to suffer such a blow.

Plus, if Brook end things with Corrie, she might struggle to replace another suitable match.

Jayden tenderly ran his fingers through Elyse's hair, replaceing it soft and

After a while, he continued, "I won't intervene. Handle it yourself. Don't expect me to e to your rescue."

Corrie maintained her strained smile and said rigidly, "Can't you do me this small

Jayden gave her a questioning look, as if silently asking, "Why should I help you?"

Undeterred, Corrie pressed on, "This could hurt Elyse. Consider it. How do you think she'll feel when your mother says those things about her?"

Elyse, who had been quiet until then, spoke up softly. "I'm fine. I trust Jayden won't divorce me.

Even if people talk, I won't take it personally."

Corrie was taken aback by Elyse's resigned demeanor.

Didn't Elyse love Jayden deeply? If so, why was she so willing to endure this?

Was it because she loved him so excessively

that she was willing to tolerate everything? Was her love for him truly unshakeable?

It wasn't until Jayden heard Elyse's words that he realized she felt wronged.

In their private conversation in the study, he had assured Elyse that he wouldn't divorce her

because he believed he could shield her from harm within their marriage.

But what about the threats from the outside?

As Jayden pondered this, he had a heavy heart.

Ultimately, he came to the realization that he needed to strengthen himself. Only by being powerful enough to withstand any opposition could he truly provide Elyse with peace of mind. Corrie gazed at Elyse with a smirk before saying slowly, "Since you have such unwavering trust in Jayden, your relationship must be incredibly solid, isn't it?"

Elyse remained silent. Jayden furrowed his brow and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
