Chapter 1297:

Pearce’s earlier accounts of Jayden echoed in Felicia’s mind. Though he had been neither cruel nor kind as Elyse’s husband, her granddaughter had endured countless silent struggles during their marriage.

By the time Felicia learned of the details, the divorce was already final, leaving her powerless to intervene. Now, witnessing Jayden’s persistence in pursuing Elyse despite their divorce, anger flared within her. Elyse had suffered through a troubled marriage without protection once before—this time would be different. Felicia resolved to stand guard.

“Mrs. Benson,” Jayden addressed her with calculated respect, “misunderstandings cloud my relationship with Elyse. I ask only for a chance to mend what’s broken between us.”

“Nonsense!” Felicia lifted her chin defiantly. “The Owen family may command influence, but the Bensons stand their ground. If you truly desire Elyse’s hand, prove your worth!”

Pearce shifted uncomfortably between them, attempting to diffuse the rising tension. “Please, this should be Elyse’s choice. If she wishes to give Jayden another chance, we must respect that.”
