Chapter 971:
He pressed his lips together, wanting to speak but realizing he was just repeating himself. No matter how honest
he tried to be, Elyse likely saw his words as nothing but lies.
Reflecting on this, Jayden acknowledged that he might indeed be to blame. His throat felt tight, and he struggled

Tobin approached him, concern etched on his features. “Mr. Owen, it's quite windy here. We should head inside.”
Jayden, with a cigarette dangling from his lips and chewing on the filter, gazed at the distant buildings. The Moon
Palace, illuminated by lights and secured by guards, loomed in the distance, shaped like a crescent moon.
Jayden shook his head. “No, thanks. I'm fine. Standing here feels like I'm protecting her.”

directly,” Jayden said softly. “She and | are from different worlds. If | tell her, she might leave me.”
“But | don’t believe she’s that type of person,” Tobin replied, remembering the past. “She loves you deeply. Even

Jayden frowned, and after a long pause, nodded. “That's why I'm waiting until everything is resolved before

head. “Only by entrusting Elyse to him can | feel at ease.”
“But it seems like Edward has feelings for her,” Tobin hesitated, unsure of how Jayden would react.
“He's also a gentleman. | trust he will take good care of her,” Jayden said, his gaze fixed on the direction of the
Moon Palace, his tone resolute.
