Jayson turned to Elena, his eyes filled with disappointment. But before he could utter a word, Elena enveloped him in a tight embrace. Queen York, her gaze lowered, turned on her heel and walked away with the men she brought to rescue Jayson. Jayson attempted to extricate himself from Elena's grasp so he could express his gratitude to the Queen, but she refused to let go. It was only after Queen had departed that Elena finally released her hold on Jayson.Realization dawned on Jayson, causing him to grit his teeth in anger. "Elena, you saw my missed call, didn't you?" he asked through clenched teeth.Elena responded nonchalantly, "I did. Come with me." She firmly grabbed his wrist and pulled him along.Jayson's face darkened, but he took a deep breath and followed her. As they passed through a gate, Jayson finally understood why he hadn't encountered anyone from Jade City. He was in the outer part of the resort, while they were in the inner part of the resort separated by a fence. Co
Jayson squatted down and clenched his fist around the stone he found on the floor. He was about to hurl it at the talking Rabbit when suddenly, the door behind him swung open forcefully, slamming into his back."Argh!" Jayson cried out in pain, stumbling forward. The stone slipped from his grasp and landed square on his forehead, intensifying his agony. His eyes squinted with pain, and tears welled up as he groaned.Elena, dazed by the chaotic scene, asked in concern, "Jayson, what happened to you?" She noticed the swelling on his forehead and the anguish etched on his face.Jayson, seething with anger, glared at Elena and unleashed a furious tirade, "And you have the audacity to ask? Weren't you the one who recklessly flung the door open instead of opening it properly like a lady?"His head throbbed with unbearable pain, causing him to hiss and cut his words short. He shot one final glare at Elena before storming out of the room, consumed by his fury.Elena stood there, disoriented.
Jayson's heart burned with rage as he couldn't bear the sight of the talking Rabbit. His eyes reddened, and he instinctively exclaimed, "Damn rabbit, it's you again!"In a desperate attempt to catch the elusive creature, he lunged towards it, only to be abruptly swept out of the garden by a powerful gust of wind. He cried out as he floated through the air, eventually landing on his back in a nearby field.Groaning in pain and momentarily dazed, Jayson gradually regained his senses. To his surprise, he found himself face-to-face with a pair of eyes staring down at him. It was Elena, wearing a concerned frown."Jayson, what are you doing here?" she asked, her voice filled with worry.Anxiety tinged his scolding reply. "Elena, can't you see I'm in pain? Instead of asking if I'm fine, you inquire about what I'm doing here. Are you sure you're my wife?"Elena seemed unfazed by his words, her attention quickly shifting as she scanned their surroundings. With furrowed eyebrows, she continued
Victoria's declaration came as a pleasant surprise to Jayson. He paused for a moment, turned around, and responded, "If that will hasten our divorce, I'll be incredibly grateful."With those words, he walked away. Victoria stood there, staring at Jayson's retreating figure, utterly dumbfounded. She couldn't believe what she had just heard.Sanders, on the other hand, had a different reaction. He was overjoyed and urged Victoria, "He's using reverse psychology on you. Let's go. If we delay any longer, Elena's life will be in danger since that scoundrel refuses to show up. Don't forget to inform her about what he did."Unlike Sanders, who eagerly awaited Elena and Jayson's divorce, Gabby wore a gloomy expression. He realized that Jayson wasn't joking when he claimed to know about Elena's infidelity.Jayson made his way to the concession stands and ordered another tray of food. A friendly lady managing one of the stands asked with a smile, "Is this for your friend?"Jayson's face broke i
In the face of protecting a nobody and receiving a kickback of thousand bucks, the choice was clear to them; they didn't hesitate. "Boss Chains, we rely on you to look after us," one of them spoke earnestly.Boss Chains let out a hearty laugh and replied, "You guys are all intelligent folks. Take this as a token of appreciation for now; once I get my hands on him, you'll be rewarded even more."Jayson overheard their conversation, and a faint smirk appeared on his face. If they wanted to wait, he would make them wait for him. With that thought in mind, he turned around and made his way back to the hotel.In a corner, he spotted the woman who had invited him. Jayson walked past her, heading towards the hotel entrance."Everyone, this is one of the songs from my latest album. I hope you'll give it a listen and enjoy some great music," Caleb's voice echoed through the air as he boasted about his music.Jayson couldn't help but roll his eyes at Caleb's self-promotion. Curiosity getting t
Boss Chains sat impatiently on the chair, waiting for Jayson to arrive. An hour passed, but there was no sign of him. None of their texts had been answered either."I can't believe he's not showing up," Boss Chains muttered angrily, grinding his teeth. Fueled by rage, he vowed to triple Jayson's torture, refusing to let him die easily. He instructed his men to wait, determined to make Jayson pay for his defiance.As the night wore on and the clock struck 3 am, the gatekeepers retired for the night. It was then that Boss Chains finally realized he had been fooled. Jayson had never intended to come at all."Boss, what should we do? He's ignoring our calls and messages," Anna, the woman who had given Jayson the message, exclaimed in frustration. Her feet ached, and exhaustion weighed heavy on her."Humph! Let's go!" Boss Chains snarled, his anger burning in his chest. He turned abruptly and stormed away with his men.As the sun emerged from the sky, casting its warm rays upon the island,
Boss Chains paced back and forth at his gate, consumed by anger. He eagerly awaited the moment Jayson would be lured there, his mind already plotting the brutal fate that awaited him. But as the hours ticked by, neither Anna nor Jayson appeared. Frustration twisted his features, and he balled his hands into fists.Just as he was about to dial Anna's number, a panting underling rushed over and delivered the news. "Boss, Anna has been taken to the clinic."Shock coursed through Boss Chains, his eyes widening in disbelief. He berated his underling, unable to comprehend what he had just heard. "What are you talking about? Why is Anna in the hospital? Did she confront that scumbag?"The underling shook his head vigorously, his voice trembling. "No, Boss. Anna fainted due to shock."face drained of colour upon hearing the explanation. He clenched his jaw, a mix of worry and anger coursing through him. Determination etched itself into his features as he commanded his underling, "Take me ther
Jayson's heart pounded in his chest as he heard the loud thud, followed by Elena's desperate cry for help. "Help me, Jayson," her voice echoed through the phone before abruptly cutting off. Shock washed over him, his mind racing to comprehend the situation. He muttered Elena's name, his eyes widening in fear.Instinctively, Jayson reached for his phone and tucked it into his pocket. However, as he turned to rush towards their room, a realization hit him like a wave. If he hurried over there, he would be walking right into the clutches of their captors. They had targeted Elena to lure him in, and it would be foolish to recklessly play the hero. A surge of panic swept over him, but he quickly regained his composure.Taking a deep breath, Jayson made a crucial decision. He knew he needed to think strategically and not fall into the tiger's trap. Instead of heading towards their room, he turned on his heels and swiftly made his way towards the manager's office. Manager Cane, a man who rel
