Chapter 220:

“You’re laughing at me!” Bryce’s realization dawned, and he slammed his fist onto the table in fury. Tess, equally incensed, snapped, “Elyse Lloyd, you’ve crossed the line! Bryce is your brother-in-law. How could you make fun of him like that?”

Elyse’s smile faded as she offered a heartfelt apology. “I’m sorry, Bryce. It was wrong of me to laugh, especially today on your birthday. Can you forgive me?”

Bryce’s mood lifted with her apology. He thought to himself that Elyse, coming from a modest background, ought to show him respect. Tess, too, seemed relieved, as if Jayden had also made amends with her following Elyse’s apology.

Elyse shook her head, regret in her voice. “I’m sorry to disappoint you. I’m not the concertmaster.”

This response irked Tess, who threw the tangerine peel at Elyse, exasperated. “Useless! How did you not secure the position? I thought at least in music, you had some talent that you wouldn’t bring shame to our Owen family. Turns out you’re just mediocre.”
