RedNovelChapter 221 Elyse Met Corrie
Stunned, Elyse stared at Jayden. Did he know she truly cared for him?
‘Tess was embarrassed by Jayden's words. Her eyes narrowed as she gave him a brittle look.
She could tell Elyse's impact on him was beginning to get stronger, but it was of no benefit to the
Owen family.
Though Tess was silent, she was lost in thought, seeking for a schto deal with Elyse.
Jayden pretended not to notice her demeanor. He opted to demonstrate srespect, considering that it was
Bryce's birthday that day.
He handed Bryce's birthday gift to him, saying, "Happy birthday."
Bryce stopped crying as soon as he received the gift, and he happily tore the package open. There was a car
key!
For the very first time, he looked at Jayden warmly.

"Thank you, Jayden. | really like the gift." He was so happy that he couldn't wait to go try out his new car after
dinner.
"Not bad, at least you care about Bryce," Tess said.
Elyse looked at the tas they enjoyed that momentary family tShe didn't want to interrupt them. Just then,
her stomach grumbled.
She was famished.
She quietly pressed her stomach as she took a bite from an apple.
Jayden glanced at her, turned and asked, "Can we have food now?"
"Not so soon. Someone is yet to make the company complete," Tess said.
Confused, he asked, "Are we expecting someone else? Isn't Dad in the neighboring city and can't make it in time
for dinner?"
His question made Tess feel guilty. She stuttered, "It's not your father. She will be here soon." "Oh! | guess you
were referring to me? | was stuck in traffic. I'm sorry | arrived late." Analluring voice preceeded a presence.
Elyse turned around curiously. A stylish woman with very long hair walked in with a gift in her hand.
"Come, Corrie, lettake a good look at you. | haven't set my eyes on you for a year. You look more beautiful."
Tess immediately switched to a calm and soft voice when she saw Corrie. Corrie happily threw herself into Tess's
open arms. "It's been so long. | missed you while | was abroad."
Tess patted her back gently "I've missed you too, But you never calledafter you left."
"Forgive me. | was too occupied there, coupled with the tdifference which made it difficult to call." Tess was
elated to talk to Corrie
Elyse seemed to tremble slightly at that moment.
The woman was Corrie Bates; Jayden had gone to see her a night before the previous day.
From Elyse's response, Jayden sensed that she must have thought of what happened two days ago. He squeezed
her hand gently to comfort her.
After Corrie had greeted Tess, she noticed Elyse.
She looked at her from head to toe, pretending not to know her. "Who is our guest? Is she here for Bryce's
birthday?"
Tess was silent, she was not willing to introduce her since she never accepted Elyse to be her daughter-in-law in
the first place.

Elyse wanted to introduce herself, but was interrupted by Jayden's touch. He held her hand, to Corrie's surprise.
"Meet my wife, Elyse Lloyd. Treat her with the respect she deserves."
Elyse's heart softened at his words. She looked up at him and at that point, was willing to forgive him for what he
did a few days ago.
Corrie knew she was his wife, but hearing Jayden say it himself was the last thing she had expected.
"Was it really necessary to marry this young? Don't you wish to reign the Owen Group?" Corrie asked jokingly as
she sat close to Tess.
Jayden raised his glass to Bryce. "I'm not the only child. Bryce here is available, he can deal with the family
business instead."
Bryce paused from unwrapping the birthday gift Corrie had given him. He said in a rude manner, "You're
incapacitated to want the Owen Group's power. You are not a worthy competition."
Jayden nodded as he said, "You're right. | am not willing to compete with you. You are the hope of 'our parents."
Bryce was complacent. He felt he had secured a permanent position in the company since he had always had a
good tthere.
"Ms. Lloyd, do you really love Jayden?" Corrie directed her question to Elyse as she poured herself a glass of
water.
