Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 90:

Tess witnessed Elyse’s defiance and grew furious, slamming her hand on the table. “Why won’t you comply? Do you want to embarrass our family?” What she said seemed ludicrous. If Elyse were to perform, what would that make her? Wouldn’t she utterly destroy Jayden’s reputation? Jayden was already in a dire situation with the Owen family. Elyse vowed she would never let those people strip away his last shred of dignity through her actions.

In a cold, composed voice, she retorted, “Our family? Didn’t you just refuse to acknowledge me as Jayden’s wife? How can you now claim I’m a member of your family? I wasn’t hired by your family to perform. I’m here as Jayden’s wife to attend his grandpa’s birthday party. If you wish to bring joy to the old man, you can hire someone to perform. But don’t ask me to do it.”

Tess was taken aback by Elyse’s sharp tongue. Her anger left her breathless. Julie tried to add fuel to the fire. “How can you be that disrespectful? After all, she is your mother-in-law. Just listen to her order and perform. Maybe she will find you’re talented and accept you as her daughter-in-law.”

Elyse remained unpersuaded. She knew exactly what those people thought. They merely saw her as a jest and someone to mock and ridicule. In their opinion, even Jayden was a failure, and she was deemed unworthy and beneath their consideration. None of them had good intentions.

She responded calmly, “I don’t need the validation of you guys. After all, you didn’t even treat Jayden as a member of the family. Have you ever taken him seriously, considering his disability? Do you truly see him as part of your family? You’ve never cared about him. So don’t pretend to be benevolent in front of me. Your attitude means nothing to me, and whether I gain your approval or not is inconsequential.”

Julie hadn’t expected Elyse to be so stubborn, openly criticizing them. From their perspective, Elyse appeared to have a low emotional intelligence quotient. But it worked to their advantage. Julie and Seth exchanged glances. Through this episode, they realized they needn’t worry about Elyse. She wasn’t a force to be reckoned with. Even if she married Jayden, she wouldn’t be able to trouble them.

Among them, Jessie remained silent, quietly sipping her tea. Yet the occasional glint of cunning in her eyes was unmistakable.
