Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 252 Freda's Jealous Accusation

Sadness clouded Elyse's eyes as she spoke. "Jayden's affection for me isn't as deep as you think."

Before Tracy could respond, a cutting voice interrupted, dripping with sarcasm. "Is that why you find solace in pursuing others* partners?"

Turning, Elyse saw Freda striding over, her presence exuding an aura of icy superiority.

Freda, draped in a sleek black gown with her hair elegantly pinned up, approached with a gaze that bore the weight of noble disdain.

With a scornful sneer, Freda countered sharply, "I am simply denouncing Elyse's audacious conduct! Married to another, yet clinging to Theo. What a slut!"

Elyse met Freda's gaze with a frigid stare before responding coldly, "If you have grievances, take

them up with Theo. I am not your target for misplaced anger."

With haughty resolve, Freda raised her chin. "Do you even prehend who I am? I ama member of the esteemed Jimenez family."

Elyse sniffed dismissively at Freda's assertion.

"You are but Theo's arranged date, not his betrothed. What gives you the right to cast judgment?
