Chapter 1116:
Edward, taken aback, blurted out, “You are—" Before he could continue, Jayden’s gaze locked onto him. “What
about me?” he challenged. “Got a problem?”
Edward, realizing he had also been involved in following Elyse, hesitated and chose not to press the issue.
Elyse, sensing they were hiding something, sighed and then said, “Alright, since you're both here, let's stick
together.”
Jayden nodded in agreement. “Sure, we can grab sfood.” He turned to Edward, offering a gesture of peace.
“You're new around here, right? Letbuy you lunch.”

Edward stayed silent, feeling uneasy about the offer.
Just as Elyse was about to leave, Anthony suddenly crushing out of the shop.
Catching up to her, he looked at her with a face etched with apology. “Wait, we need to cancel the violin sale. |
can't sell it after all.”
Elyse was shocked, taking a moment to regain herself. “What are you talking about? I've already paid for it.”
Anthony sighed, his frustration evident. “It’s my dad. He agreed at first to sell it, but he just called and changed
his mind, forbidding the sale.”

He paused for a moment before continuing, “I told him it was too late, that you had paid and | couldn't take it
back. But he becfurious and started making sdisturbing threats.”
Elyse frowned, clearly concerned. “Why did he change his mind? What's going on?”
Anthony shook his head, worry in his voice. “I don’t know. | need to go check on him and make sure he doesn’t
do something drastic.”
Jayden advanced, his tone both firm and laced with worry. “Would it be alright if we tagged along to see your
dad? We're quite concerned for him and are here to help if needed.”

Surprise flickered across Elyse’s face at his proposition. Had Jayden always been this dedicated to helping
others? Or had he transformed somehow? Despite her reservations, Elyse acknowledged Jayden’s valid point.
She nodded slowly, saying, “Considering I'm purchasing the violin, | think a direct conversation with your dad is
warranted. Perhaps there's something troubling him that he needs to discuss.”
Anthony paused to think before agreeing. “Letjust lock up the shop, then we'll go together.”
As Anthony attended to the locks, Edward sidled over to Jayden, his voice a quiet murmur. “Keep it real, Jayden.
Are you genuinely this eager to lend a hand? Your sudden eagerness to help threwoff a bit.”
With a sneer, Jayden replied, keeping his voice light, “I feel the sway about you. You have a knack for
makingfeel sick.”
