Chapter 122:

Jayden raised an eyebrow and asked calmly, “Didn’t you threaten to sever our ties to force me to come back?”

Tess swallowed hard and looked down at her feet. She had indeed said that to force Jayden to come back. However, she felt that she was entitled to play such a card since she was Jayden’s mother. But he ought to know that he wasn’t qualified to say the same to her.

Looking up at Elyse, Tess dumped all of her anger on her, saying, “This is all your fault. You are a woman sent by the devil to create a rift between me and my son under the guise of being a daughter-in-law. My son should have never had anything to do with you. You are nothing but a scourge. I won’t accept—”

“Enough!” Jayden thundered at Tess. Pointing an index finger at her, he said icily, “If you dare insult her again, I’m going to sever my relationship with you guys immediately. Surely you won’t be concerned with finally having nothing to do with me, since I’m the useless son to you.”

Andrew, who had said nothing all this while, cleared his throat now that he saw that Jayden was really angry and said, “Calm down, Jayden. I’m sure your mother doesn’t mean all that she said, okay? She’s simply upset. Every single one of us can testify to the fact that Elyse is an admirable daughter-in-law.”

Jayden scoffed at this and, since he wasn’t interested in having any more conversation with them, turned around and stormed out while holding Elyse’s hand.

As the duo got back into the car, Elyse turned to face Jayden and said softly, “I can’t believe your parents really treated you like that.”

Jayden shrugged and replied, “They care more about what’s in their pockets than family affection.” Turning to look at Elyse, Jayden continued, “Seeing just how shameless and self-centered my family members are must make you regretful and aggrieved that you married me, right?”
