Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 279:

Jayden sneered coldly after hearing Glenda’s full confession. As he stroked Elyse’s soft hair, his eyes gleamed with chilling intent. “If your plan had succeeded, do you think I would have lifted the ban or spared your lives?” he said icily.

Glenda shivered under the weight of Jayden’s formidable presence. Her legs trembled, and within seconds, her knees buckled, forcing her to sit on the floor. Lanny, too, was terrified, recognizing the seriousness in Jayden’s tone. In desperation, he fell to his knees and pleaded, “Mr. Owen, please spare us. The blame lies with Mabel. We… we had no part in this.”

The smile on Jayden’s face widened, but his eyes remained harsh, filled with a palpable threat. He couldn’t help but think back to the previous day, thankful for his suspicions that had prevented Glenda from hurting Elyse. The thought of what might have happened had haunted him all night. He was determined to shield Elyse from any harm.

“You want to live? I might allow that,” Jayden said, his voice eerily calm as he forced a twisted smile. “Bring Mabel here to apologize in person, and then I might consider sparing your lives.”

Elyse bit her lip, wanting to interject, but Jayden quickly covered her mouth. She looked up at him, her eyes blinking innocently and filled with confusion. He held her closer, surmising that in her naive way, she might have been about to plead for her family’s mercy. But he couldn’t stand the thought of it.

Unaware of his turmoil, Elyse would have defended her position had she known. Despite her naivety, she would never have pleaded for those who had sought to harm her, even if they were her family. What truly surprised her was the depth of Jayden’s protectiveness. Though he seldom expressed his feelings openly, it was clear to her now that he cared deeply for her.
