Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 263:

Corrie appeared to be persuading, but in reality, she was boasting. She was showing off her closeness with Tess in front of Elyse. Corrie intentionally directed her comments at Jayden, knowing that Elyse would understand. “I never imagined your mother would favor me so much, even hoping for us to marry,” she said with exaggerated gestures. “Apparently, she publicly expressed her desire for you to divorce Ms. Lloyd and marry me. Now, everyone sees me as the ideal daughter-in-law in her eyes.”

When Elyse observed Corrie’s affected demeanor, a slight twitch appeared at the corners of her mouth, yet she refrained from responding.

Corrie went on, “If you feel wronged, just say so. I will make sure to set boundaries with Jayden so you won’t get hurt.”

Elyse found Corrie’s behavior truly repulsive. But she maintained her composure, seemingly unaffected by Corrie’s words. She believed that if she placed herself correctly and regained control of her love for Jayden, she would not be hurt in this relationship.
