Chapter 330 Expulsion


    That afternoon, Elyse had recovered from her fever and returned home with Jayden.


    Driscoll came out to wele them, but he noticed Elyse seemed distant and possibly upset. He shot a questioning nce at Jayden. < Had Jayden done something to annoy Elyse so quickly? Feeling somewhat responsible, Jayden realized he might have been too vigorous earlier, which could have contributed to her fever.


    Driscoll cleared his throat and approached, saying, "Mrs. Owen, you must be hungry. We''ve prepared some soup for you. I''ll bring it up to your room."


    Elyse nodded and requested, "Please take it to the small balcony on the second floor. I want some fresh air."


    Jayden frowned in disapproval. "Don''t go outside. You''ve just gotten over your fever. What if you fall ill again?"


    Elyse shot Jayden a stern look, then crossed her arms and headed upstairs.


    Observing this, Driscoll couldn''t resist asking, "Sir, what did you do to upset her this time?" Embarrassed to admit the cause, Jayden said, "When you deliver the soup, could you also bring her a shawl?"


    Driscoll nodded and headed towards the kitchen.


    Jayden assumed Elyse was upset because of his earlier actions that might have led to her illness, but he was unaware of the actual reason for her anger.


    Back in her room, Elysey on the bed, overwhelmed by the recent events, struggling to process everything.


    After some time, she remembered her missing phone. She suspected Baxter had disposed of it. Elyse suddenly recalled that the second day of her abduction was the same day she was


    supposed to return to the orchestra.


    She sat up quickly, her expression stern.


    She hurried downstairs to Jayden and asked anxiously, "Has anyone from the Celestial Sounds Symphony


    Jayden, surprised, turned to Driscoll.


    Just arriving with the soup, Driscoll responded earnestly, "There haven''t been any calls from the Celestial Sounds Symphony in thest few days. I even went there to exin your absence and


    tried to ask for a leave for you."


    Elyse asked urgently, "Did they ept my leave?"


    Driscoll was uncertain. "I''m not sure."


    Elyse requested Jayden''s phone. He handed it over, and she quickly dialed Darren''s number. ''As soon as Darren answered, Elyse said, "This is Elyse. I wasn''t able to return to the orchestra on time. How do the higher-ups view me now?"


    Feeling embarrassed and anxious, Elyse waited for Darren''s reply.


    After a tense pause, Darren replied reluctantly, "I''m sorry, I did everything. Abram and several leaders insisted on your expulsion and won''t allow you back in the orchestra."N?velDrama.Org content rights.


    Elyse was staggered. "How could this happen?"


    Darren borated, "You failed to return to the orchestra on time, which upset Abram. He pushed for your expulsion. I persuaded other leaders to hold off for a few days, but when you still hadn''t shown up yesterday, they grew impatient and decided to expel you." < Elyse was speechless.


    Darren added, "Abram''s never been fond of you. Now he''s got an opportunity to push you out, and he won''t quit until he seeds. I''ve packed your belongings. You can pick them up when you''re ready."


    ''Trembling, Elyse said, "My butler told me that they hadn''t called, and he even went to exin my absence."


    Darren sounded surprised. "Are you sure?"


    But then he realized and said knowingly, "Abram imed he called yourndline, but your family never answered, and he received no exnations. He was adamant about expelling you."


    Elyse felt as if her world was crumbling. She thanked Darren and ended the call.


    Seeing Elyse''s distressed state, Jayden understood the gravity of the situation.


    "Here''s your phone." After handing her phone back to Jayden, Elyse hung her head and retreated to her room.


    Observing this, Driscoll asked worriedly, "Did I do something wrong?"


    Jayden shook his head. "It''s not your fault. You didn''t know about her situation in the orchestra." "What about the soup..." Driscoll didn''t know what to do.


    Inside her room, he heard her suppressed sobbing. He walked over and joked, "Why hold back


    your sadness? Isn''t it better to just cry it out?"


    Elyse was a bit unwilling to let him in. "Get out!"


    Jayden said, "I''m not leaving. I need to know why my wife is crying."


    Elyse said, sobbing, "I''ve been expelled. Darren said the assistant director Abram did it on


    purpose. Obviously, he hates me and did not want me there."
