Madison watched their exchange with immense satisfaction. She was ecstatic upon seeing Jayden's unwavering support for her.

See? And Nina still thought she mattered.

An evil grin formed on her swollen face, her voice dripping with disdain. “Didn’t you hear him, Nina? I don’t understand what you’re being so arrogant for. It’s a fact that you beat me up.”

“These bruises are evidence of it. Do you think you can get out of it unscathed? Nothing good will come out if you continue to be stubborn.” Madison said haughtily.

“However, if you kneel and apologize to me, I can consider not taking legal measures against you.”

Madison had always thrived on her power, and now, with Jayden’s backing, she felt invincible.

Nina’s hands trembled slightly at her sides and glanced at Jayden who was silent.

'You can do whatever you want, and I’ll be your strongest backer,'

Once upon a time, those words had given her a sense of security, a belief that he would protect her no matter what.

However, as she sto

    “She should be at the mansion.” Nora analyzed confidently. “Think about it, the most dangerous place is often the safest place.” The corner of his lips twitched as Liam found her theory to be ridiculous, yet strangely plausible at the same time. Women had a way of seeing things from angles that often differed from men. As her comadre, perhaps it was just as Nora said. He immediately conveyed Nora’s words to Jayden, who too fell into a brief silence after listening to her reasoning. Liam cleared his throat awkwardly and suggested. “Why don’t you search the entire mansion once again?” “Thanks. I’ll do that.” Jayden acknowledged before hanging up. Drawing a deep breath, he turned back to the guards and ordered them again. “Do a thorough search of the entire manor again, every room, every corner.” Meanwhile, he made his way toward his bedroom. The master bedroom was a grand stretch. The gloomy gray tones that Jayden had once favored now had a minimalist theme that was meticulously

    “You’ll pay for the sins you’ve committed.” With those words, Mrs. Heath left the premises, with her husband by her side. Jayden was unfazed by the commotion. However, the tranquillity that followed the couple’s exit was short-lived. Soon, the sound of his cell phone ringing broke the silence. A furious voice came through the other end. "Will you really go that far for a woman?? Jayden, I’m warning you. Before I take things into my own hands, you better release Madison.” Hearing William’s roar, Jayden instantly held the phone away from his ear. He had little patience for his father’s outburst. Hence, he passed the phone to Rick, who stood nearby. Rick accepted the phone and answered respectfully. “Old master,” he began, his tone steady and measured, “this matter is not as simple as you think.” The Heath Corps. recently invested in constructing the largest amusement park in the South. The benefits were huge and Michael Heath wanted quick success. Hence he made use of poor-quality

    Nina’s eyes widened in surprise as Jayden swept her off her feet and placed her on the kitchen counter. The scent of sandalwood enveloped her senses, and her heart raced as she found herself in such proximity to him.“Where are your shoes?” His low voice resonated through the kitchen. Nina subconsciously looked at her feet and realized that she had indeed forgotten to wear them.With a hint of annoyance in her voice, Nina retorted, “Not a big deal.”Jayden met her gaze, and she felt her heart skip a beat under his cold, dark orbs. He held her feet in his hands, and the coolness of his touch made her shiver. Using his free hand, he lifted his shirt and placed her feet on his stomach, seemingly unfazed by her comment.Nina wanted to pull back her feet, but Jayden ordered sternly, “Don’t move around.”Hearing his words, Nina scoffed. “Aren’t you tired of being a hypocrite all day?”Jayden raised an eyebrow but remained silent. He continued to rub her feet until the warmth of his touch gr

    “Finally remembered your husband?” Jayden sneered at Nina when she finally sought him out on the balcony.Feeling a bit tired and tipsy, Nina pressed her body against Jayden and replied lazily, “I’m tired.”Jayden loved it when she acted coquettishly. As such, even a simple glance from her was enough to bring him down to his knees.“Really? And here I thought you could dance for another few hours, given how happy you seemed without me.” He raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying a hint of bitterness.Nina could hear the subtle resentment in his voice and realized that he was being petty for ignoring him. She couldn’t resist teasing him back, “You could have joined me too.” She retorted with a sly smile, “Or do you think you’re too old to have fun?”The smirk on Jayden’s lips froze when he heard Nina call him old. “Excuse me?” His teeth gritted in anger as he retorted, “Do you think I’m old? For your information, I’m a mature man who is in the prime of his life.”Unfazed by his reaction,

    “I think this is a lot for Nina to process right now,” Jayden said in a protective tone. “We appreciate you sharing this with us, but she needs some time. We’ll talk about it later when she’s ready.” Isaac and Alaina exchanged a glance, recognizing the need for patience and understanding. “Of course,” Isaac replied, his voice gentle. “We’ll be here whenever she’s ready to talk.” At that moment, Isaac’s phone rang, breaking the heavy silence in the room. He excused himself with an apologetic look and answered the call. As he listened to the voice on the other end, his expression changed drastically. After a brief conversation, he hung up and turned to the couple. His expression was somber as he stood up and held Alaina’s hand. “I’m sorry, but I have urgent work that requires my immediate attention. We’ll have to leave for now, but we'll visit again soon.” “Take care, both of you.” Isaac nodded at them. Alaina, though confused, followed her husband. She gave a reluctant glance at

    Speaking of his daughter, Nina, he almost cried when he thought about the abuse she had suffered at Kristen’s hands. While his daughter had to tread on thin ice just for a meal, Kristen’s illegitimate child was enjoying the luxuries that never belonged to her! Unknowingly, he had added to his daughter’s sufferings. Isaac’s regret and anguish over the past intensified as he considered the stark contrast in the lives of the two children. When he realized Nina was his and Alaina’s daughter, he immediately ordered his men to do a background check on her. Everything began to fit into pieces when he found out about Nina's relationship with Kristen. Isaac looked at the woman in front of him with disgust and called the officer over. Jayden had already done an excellent job in ensuring that Kristen faced the consequences of her actions. As for Isaac, he was determined to ensure that Kristen would rot in prison for the rest of her life, wishing she was never born. Meanwhile, the situati

    Isaac’s face turned ashen, and he rushed toward Alaina. Everything happened so suddenly that he could not react in time. And when he came to his senses, there was already a long cut on Alaina’s forearm. “Alaina, are you okay?” Isaac asked, his voice trembling with heartache. “I-I’m fine,” Alaina nodded, though the pain was clear in her eyes. Her arm continued to bleed, prompting Isaac to call out urgently, “Somebody, call an ambulance.” Shocked, Emilia dropped the knife from her hand. The blood drained from her face when she realized the gravity of her actions. Everyone knew Alaina was the apple of Isaac’s eye and that he treated her like a treasure. Emilia’s heart trembled when she thought about how she had inadvertently touched his Achilles' heels. She watched as everyone in the house scrambled to send Alaina to the hospital. Overwhelmed with fear and guilt, he slipped away and retreated to her room. She locked the door, hoping Isaac wouldn’t settle scores with her if any

    “I’m fine. Just a little tired,” Jayden replied weakly, his eyes still closed. “I’ll be alright after sleeping for a while.” His reassurance didn’t ease Nina’s worry, though. Her heart pounded in her throat, and she could not calm down. Wiping away her tears, a trace of stubbornness appeared in her eyes as she left the ward. Once again, Nina found herself standing in front of the imposing estate. This time, she came alone and did not alert anyone. Although Jayden forbade her from contacting Isaac, fear overrode her senses. She couldn’t shake the haunting image of waking up to his cold, lifeless body one day. The door creaked open, and Nina slipped inside, her eyes scanning the elegant foyer. She knew she was pushing her luck, but she had to convince Isaac no matter what. Turning a corner, she found herself in the expansive living room. There, seated on the sofa, was none other than Emilia Moore. After suffering multiple setbacks in life, nothing seemed to have changed for E

    “WHAT!?” The room erupted in uproar. “No! You can’t. What about my son?” Lilian protested hysterically. “That’s my final order,” William asserted authoritatively. “As for you,” he addressed the woman, who was on the verge of a mental breakdown, “Let’s get a divorce.” Lilian’s eyes widened, and she slumped onto the chair with a thud. “No…” William paid no attention to her. His old body could not hold on any longer. He patted Jayden’s shoulder lightly before turning to leave. Watching him walk away, panic seized Lilian. She jumped from her seat and dashed forward. Kneeling, Lilian grasped William’s legs and pleaded for mercy. “Husband, I’m sorry. I was blinded by greed. I acknowledge my mistake, and I promise I’ll turn over a new leaf. Please don’t abandon me,” she begged. The weight of her actions only became clear when she lost everything. Without the title of Mrs. Luxton, she was nothing. “Husband…” Lilian continued to create a scene, but it was to no avail. The guards hel

    “Don’t forget, I’m still the CEO.” Jayden looked at her coldly. A derisive snicker resonated in the room that came from Jayden’s uncles. Back when William suddenly fell ill, The Luxton Corporation faced imminent danger. During that period, it was Jayden who resurrected the Luxton Corporation from the brink of collapse. Under his leadership, the business flourished with each passing day. They were indignant about letting an illegitimate son take the position of CEO. However, Jayden’s ability to manage the business left everyone speechless. Throughout the years, they had silently consented to let him toil for the Luxton Corporation. However, now that he had a few days to live, they couldn’t wait to overthrow him. “Jayden, have you forgotten that you’re a dying man right now? How much more do you think you can invest?” They mocked. He had already outlived his usefulness and so there was no need for him to stay at the company. Nina’s heart chilled at their words.
