Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJayne's thoughts drifted back to the previous day, picturing Dailey lurking behind her car, likely overhearing Christine introducing her new boyfriend. She had thought Dailey was cool as a cucumber, unbothered. Yet, here he was, having dashed over at the crack of dawn. "Is that mark on your neck courtesy of Christine?" Jayne inquired, a touch of concern lacing her voice.
Dailey, struggling to keep his emotions in check, replied tersely, "If you have something to say, just say it." Not one to beat around the bush, Jayne cut straight to the chase, "Call off the wedding with Nelly." Dailey's refusal was swift, "If that's all we're here to discuss, I'd rather not." As he turned to leave, Jayne caught him, her voice a blend of stern and tender, "Son, this is your first love; you don't understand how a woman's heart works. If you go through with this wedding, Christine will never forgive you." Dailey's response was devoid of emotion, "Isn't this what you wanted?" Jayne was momentarily taken aback. Indeed, they had hoped to steer him away from Christine, but a wedding with Nelly was out of the question, especially now that the child was no longer in the picture.

You leftto fend for myself once, and I made it through. I've learned a lot." "And you've becsomeone many admire because of it," Jayne added, trying to steer the conversation.
Dailey acknowledged, "I won't deny what you've given me-skills, resources. I've not turned my back on the Clarkson family, but if you keep pushing, I'll have to choose my own path." en Jayne fell silent, her heart heavy with unspoken words.

Dailey's smirk was his only reply, "That's why I'm leaving her a way out." Jayne's heart ached, "Don't you care about us, about the Clarkson legacy at all?" Dailey's tone remained detached, "Just watch from the sidelines. I won't let the Clarkson family fall." Before Jayne could respond, Dailey's hand went up, signaling the end of the discussion.
Primo stepped forward, offering to escort Jayne back. Her words lodged in her throat, she nodded, and Brimo gently urged, "Madam, please." As they entered the elevator, Jayne couldn't help but ask, "Did you go to see Christine this morning?"
Primo bowed slightly, loyalty shining in his eyes, "Madam you can scold me, punish me, but please kabout the young master. My lips are sealed."
