Chapter 876:
Sensing the tension, Simon asked curiously, “Who's this young man? You two know him?”
Not wanting to provide an introduction, Cody remained silent, so Irving stepped in. “This is Jayden Owen.
Elyse’s...” He hesitated to reveal Jayden was Elyse’s ex-husband. Elyse quickly interjected, “He's my ex-
husband.”

Simon's eyes widened in surprise upon hearing this. Elyse appeared so young, yet she had already gone through
a divorce.
What shocked him even more was that she was still in contact with her former spouse. Concern for Edward filled

After a moment of hesitation, he asked, “Did you meet your ex-husband with plans of getting back together?”
His question drew immediate attention from Cody and Irving, who both turned to look at Elyse.
Feeling the intensity of their gazes, Elyse felt uncomfortable, wondering why Simon would suddenly ask such a
thing. She had never considered reconciliation. Before she could respond, Jayden smiled and said, “Exactly, |
cback to ask her to giveanother chance. | begged her to takeback.”
Elyse looked at him, confused. When had he ever asked for her forgiveness?
Suddenly, Edward appeared, holding a plate of snacks, which he handed to Simon as he interrupted sharply,
“Stop spreading lies! How dare you mislead everyone like that?”
Clenching his fists, Edward continued with a stern expression, “You say you want Elyse back, yet what about your
connection with Aarya Hudson?”
“Aarya Hudson? Isn't her family known for their shady dealings and illegal activities?” one of the guests at the
table murmured.
Raising an eyebrow in challenge, Edward remarked, “Did you hear that? The Hudsons are a questionable bunch,
and here you are, involved with their daughter while claiming to want Elyse back. Do you even realize what
you're saying?”
Frowning, Irving glared at Jayden and barked, “He mentioned you're involved with Aarya Hudson. What does that
mean? Are you another villain? How do you expect to reconcile with Elyse under these circumstances?”
Irving then stood up, protectively pulling Elyse behind him as he faced Jayden. Pointing a finger at him, he
growled, “Stay away from Elyse, you jerk!”

Jayden looked over at Edward, who stood firm and chose to remain silent.
In Irving's eyes, Jayden’s quietness suggested guilt and avoidance.
“Admit your wrongdoing and leave. Elyse deserves better than you!” Irving sneered.
After thinking for a moment, Jayden replied, “I'll clarify everything regarding my relationship with Aarya Hudson.
| promise my only love is for Elyse. She's the one | want to be with forever.”
Cody, having listened for a while, turned to Elyse and asked, “Are you open to giving him another chance?”
Elyse was caught off guard, puzzled by his question. “Don’t you think you deserve sclarity? Are you ready to
walk away without knowing the truth?” Cody asked with a raised eyebrow.
Elyse was at a loss for words. She recalled that Aarya had claimed to have been intimate with Jayden. What more
was there to understand?
