Chapter 310 You Must Divorce My Son

"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, being 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, I'll kick you out of my house!"All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Being slapped, Glenda posed herself, 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 I 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.

your daughter has taken something precious from my wife-her original works. While I won't

retaliate against her, she must apologize to Elyse upon waking."

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, some bruises, 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, pletely unaware of Elyse's presence nearby.

Seated quietly, Elyse observed them with a 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.

"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. I 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

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, I will not tolerate anyone deceiving him!"
