PopularNovelChapter 422:
Startled, Elyse abruptly stood upright. Before she could fully understand what was happening, Theo swung his
fist and knocked Jayden to the floor.
Initially, Jayden planned to dodge and tackle Theo in response. However, realizing Elyse was beside him, he
decided against revealing that his legs were fine. Moreover, after receiving much sympathy from Elyse
previously, he chose to continue playing the victim.
Consequently, Jayden let Theo's fist approach before awkwardly tumbling out of his wheelchair onto the floor.
Elyse, witnessing Jayden’s fall, let out a scream, dropped the flowers she was holding, and rushed to his side.
“Jayden, are you okay? Please, tellyou're not hurt. Don’t frightenlike this,” she pleaded, tears streaming
down her face.
Theo snorted in disdain. “How dare you, pretending to be helpless, steal a kiss from my girl? You think you're her
husband, but remember, she’s only with you temporarily.”

Ignoring Theo's bitter words, Jayden clutched at his injured spot, feigning agony. “I might be injured.”
He then added with a grimace, “It really hurts.”

Gathering her strength, Elyse wiped her tears, pulled out her phone, and quickly dialed her driver, urging him to
cimmediately.
After ending the call, she reassured Jayden in a trembling voice, “Don’t worry. I'll get you to the hospital as soon
as the driver arrives. You'll be okay.”
Leaning on her shoulder, Jayden shot Theo a smug look when she wasn’t watching.
Theo, noticing this, grew even more furious. “Jayden Owen, cut the act. You're perfectly fine. Stop playing the
weakling.”
Elyse reached her breaking point. After setting Jayden down, she stood up abruptly and slapped Theo across the
face.
Her voice was sharp as she warned, “Theo Ward, this is the last tI'm telling you. Stay away from me, or don’t
blme for being rude next time.”
Theo was left breathless, pointing at Jayden in disbelief. “He’s perfectly fine. He's just putting on a show. And you
hitbecause of him? Do you have any idea how much that hurts?”
Elyse faced Theo squarely, her tone unwavering. “Can’t you understand human language? Get out of my face. |
don’t want to see you again.”
Theo stood there, dumbfounded. It was in that moment he realized Elyse’s feelings for him had shifted
completely.
She didn’t love him anymore; she despised him. It was Jayden who had turned Elyse against him.
Consumed by fury, Theo wanted to lash out at Jayden, but he restrained himself, knowing he couldn't do
anything in Elyse’s presence.

“Mrs. Owen, I'm here,” the driver called out as he opened the door and stepped out. He spotted Jayden on the
ground, looking feeble.
The sight was so alarming that the driver nearly dropped to his knees.
With a blend of emotions, he approached and asked with concern, “Mrs. Owen, is Mr. Owen alright?”
Upon seeing the driver, Elyse felt a wave of relief wash over her. She gestured towards Jayden’s legs and
explained, “Jayden’s hurt. Helplift him. We need to get to the hospital.”
The news of Jayden’s injury left the driver baffled; he couldn't see any signs of harm.
Despite his confusion, he complied with Elyse’s request. After seffort, he managed to place Jayden in the
wheelchair, hurried into the car, and they sped off.
Theo was left behind, overlooked. He silently observed the scene, witnessing Elyse’s concern for another man.
His heart ached silently, unseen by Elyse.
