Chapter 331 It''s About Mabel Again


    Elyse likely understood why Abram disliked her. It was all about Vicky taking the spotlight. Despite understanding, Elyse felt wronged.


    Tears in her eyes, Elyse eximed, "If Abram can''t stand me, he can push me aside, but why fire me? ying the violin is my dream!"


    Jayden, stroking his chin thoughtfully, responded, "! doubt that orchestra is where

    Handing her a tissue, Jayden reassured her, "Look, I have the means to support whatever you


    want to pursue. Don''t limit your future to just that orchestra."


    Trying to smile through her tears, Elyse replied, "ying the violin is all I know. If I have no chance to y, I''m lost."


    Jayden, distractedly nodding,dled some soup and gently urged Elyse to eat. "Don''t sell yourself short. You can be good in bed."


    Elyse red at Jayden. "Can you take this seriously, just once?"


    Jayden really thought he was being serious. He carefully spooned soup into her mouth and then reassured her, "Don''t worry about this matter. You should just focus on getting better." Elyse listened, but her gaze was distant, unfocused.N?velDrama.Org content rights.


    Jayden gently took her chin in his hand, forcing her to look at him. "Hey, are you even hearing me2"


    Tears welled up in Elyse''s eyes as she reached out her hand. "I need a new phone. I lost mine." "I''ve already got one for you. It''s with Driscoll." Jayden let go of her chin and massaged his temples. "Look, I got something to attend to. Please, don''t bother me when I''m in the study." "Humph! I won''t!" Elyse snorted disdainfully and strode toward the bathroom.


    "Such a temper. It''s my fault for spoiling her." Watching her walk away, Jayden sighed, feeling utterly helpless.


    After Elyse finished washing up, she descended the stairs to find Driscoll, who appeared uneasy and immediately offered a solemn apology to her.


    This situation wasn''t Driscoll''s fault, yet Elyse took the time to rify that Abram considered her a nuisance.


    Upon discovering the reason behind her dismissal, Driscoll eximed, his voiceced with frustration, "They''re worse off without you. Don''t dwell on it. You''re bound to find sess elsewhere."


    Elyse offered a smile, uncertain of her future but considering Jayden''s advice to take some time off and recover at home.


    She smiled again and extended her hand towards Driscoll. "Driscoll, I''ve lost my phone. Could I get a new one?"


    Returning her smile, Driscoll replied, "Just a moment. I''ll fetch one for you."


    Elyse nodded and settled onto the sofa to wait. Shortly, Driscoll


    returned with a brand-new phone and some refreshments.


    As Elyse enjoyed her new phone along with the refreshments, her spirits began to lift.


    Just then, an unexpected visitor arrived.


    Driscoll''s expression hardened. "Mrs. Owen, Lanny and Glenda are here. Would you like to meet with them?"


    Hearing their names caused Elyse to flinch, and her phone slipped through her fingers and crashed to the floor.


    She hadn''t anticipated their arrival so soon and felt utterly unprepared.


    Seeing Elyse''s reluctance, Driscoll proposed, "If you prefer not to meet with them, I can ask them Elyse retrieved her phone from the floor, her expression a mix of emotions, and questioned, "Why do they want to see me now?" Driscoll looked unfortable as he replied, "It seems they''re here about Mabel''s


    Turning her head, Elyse asked in bewilderment, "What''s wrong with her? Didn''t she leave a long time ago?"


    After a brief pause, Driscoll exined, "She is currently confined in the basement. Without Mr. Owen''s permission, she can''t be freed. Her parents likely believe you can persuade him."


    Elyse remained still on the sofa.


    They were just here for Mabel.


    She had initially thought their visit was motivated by guilt, perhaps an attempt to reconcile.


    It became clear she had been naive to think so.


    Raising her head, Elyse inquired, "I ust fooled myself into thinking they were here for me. Silly, isn''t it
