Chapter 247 Harassment

Egan and Kieran were rather relentless in their demeanor towards Elyse

Peyton, unable to bear the situation any longer, stepped forward to her defense. "This celebration is for Elyse's birthday. Why persist in seeking Jayden?"

Sensing the need to take charge, Elyse halted Peyton's intervention with a poised gesture.

She recognized that resolving the issue lay squarely on her shoulders, failure would only make her a laughingstock, as the two men undoubtedly anticipated.

Summoning the regal strength within her, Elyse projected an air of authority. "I extend courtesy to you if you are here to offer genuine However, if your presence is solely to seek

Jayden in the guise of celebrating my birthday, I request your patience in the lounge. I shall

arrange a meeting with him at an appropriate time."

Her gaze swept across the assembly with unwavering resolve "For those keen on meeting Jayden, kindly acpany these gentlemen"
