Chapter 20 You Jinxed Them

Desmond took one look at Elyse and immediately erupted in laughter. "How did you manage to find such a stunning wife? Did you hire her?"

He quickly shifted topics. "Has Joanna Foster returned yet? Are you planning to marry her once she's back? It's understandable that she disappeared on your wedding day, especially since you're cripple now. No girl would willingly marry you."

His voice was so loud that everyone around could clearly hear him. As some recognized Jayden, their expressions turned.

Jayden faced the crowd's sneering looks with composure. "I've heard that your son's bride used to be a bargirl. Is that true? And she's knocked up?"

Instantly, Desmond's face fell. He stared at Jayden, hatred burning in his eyes, as if he wanted to tear him apart.

"Your family holds significant power in town. Why then did Xander marry a bargirl? Are none of the ladies from other influential families interested in him?"

Jayden, grinning, lifted his champagne glass. "It must be tough being his father, given how useless your son is. He's going to marry her because he knocked her

Elyse, completely taken aback, asked, "Really? It's just because they're expecting a baby?"

Observing the changing expressions on Desmond's face, Jayden, still smiling, remarked, "Perhaps

"It's definitely a rumor!" With a glare at Jayden, Desmond grabbed his glass and stormed away. Elyse expressed her concern with a worried tone. "He seems so narrow-minded. Do you think he'll cause trouble for us?"
