Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 398

Chapter 398:

Jayden remained expressionless throughout. Brook lost interest, his smile fading away. Debora tried to calm

things down. “Stop it, Brook. Don’t make a scene.” Brook snorted and strode out of the office. Corrie, still

stinging from the earlier humiliation, bit her lip, suppressing her resentment as she followed Brook.

After they left, Debora approached Jayden with a helpless expression. “Jayden, I’m the one who found out about

your connection to the Bayzee Group and told Grandpa. If you have any complaints, take them up with me.” She

paused before continuing, “I do need to sell you out for resources. Once I'm head of the family and take over the

Owen Group, I'll treat you well.”

Jayden glanced up at her, noting her guilt. “If you're going to fight for power, don’t feel guilty about it,” he said

coolly. “Do your best to deal with your enemies. A softhearted person can’t lead the Owen family.”

After Debora left, Jayden smirked viciously. He dusted off his shoulders, took out his phone, and sent a message

to Elyse before settling back into his wheelchair to wait. The police station was close to the Owen Group's

building, and Elyse would arrive in about ten minutes.

When she reached the office, she noticed Debora standing silently at the door with her arms crossed. Elyse

rushed forward, her voice anxious. “Where is Jayden?”

Debora gave her a sideways glance, pointed inside the office, and said, “He's in there.” Elyse immediately

pushed open the door and found Jayden in his wheelchair. She hurried to his side to check on him, but he

remained silent and in a poor mood.

Understanding Jayden’s stubborn nature, she knew he'd never tell her what happened, so she turned to Debora

behind her. Impatiently, she asked, “Miss Owen, could you tellwhat happened?”

Debora hadn't expected Elyse to question her. After a few moments of silence, she reluctantly explained what

had transpired. Realizing that Jayden had been humiliated, Elyse felt a pang of sympathy, her eyes reddening

with tears.

Seeing this, Debora silently wondered if Elyse truly loved Jayden. Jayden knew that his plan was successful. Still,

to maintain appearances, he stayed withdrawn and said coolly, “Alright, let's go home. I'm tired.”

Suppressing her frustration with Brook and Corrie, Elyse wheeled Jayden out of the office. Watching them leave,

Debora muttered to herself, “Are those two really in love?”

Back home, Jayden went into his room without saying anything to Elyse. Driscoll, puzzled, thought they must

have argued again, but Jayden’s demeanor suggested otherwise. Finally, he asked, “What happened to Mr.

Owen? He looks upset.”

Elyse’s expression was concerned. “He was bullied.”

“Wait, bullied?” Driscoll was even more confused. “Who dares bully him?” He wondered if she misunderstood

something. Jayden was usually the one who pushed others around. “I'll go check on him upstairs,” Elyse quickly

made her way upstairs, worried about Jayden.

When she reached the bedroom, she saw Jayden heading for the bathroom. “Are you going to shower?” she

asked. Jayden hadn't expected her to follow him, and he was relieved he hadn't stepped into the bathroom yet.

“I was kicked,” he said, hinting that he felt unclean.

Feeling bad for him, Elyse said, “You're the cleanest person | know.” Jayden stared at her, unsure of her

intentions. He didn’t normally linger in his wheelchair for showers. Suddenly, Elyse made up her mind and said,

“How about | help you shower?”
