Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 272 Uncertain Lineage

Jayden turned his gaze away from Eva, seemingly ignoring her

Unbeknownst to him, Eva saw this as an opportunity. Having faced numerous trials at Bayzee Group, she was determined to make a good impression in her new role with Jayden.

"Mr. Owen, what coffee would you like for the meeting later? I'll prepare it for you."

Bending down, she intentionally exposed her cleavage as she inquired She radiated confidence

and was confident in her power to captivate any man.

She was resolute in her determination to win over Jayden.

Jayden saw through her mind. He abruptly left the meeting room, with Eva following closely behind.

In the elevator, Jayden asked, "Did you recently graduate from college?"

Proudly, Eva confirmed, "Yes, I graduated from Princeton."

Jayden's expression shifted, indicating a sudden understanding

He proceeded to his office and menced a video conference with individuals overseas. Two hours later, the conference concluded

Once Tobin, Jayden's assistant, had pleted his tasks, he returned to Jayden's office to

provide him with a report.

After Tobin finished his report, Jayden gestured towards Eva and asked, "Who authorized her to

handle your tasks?"

Tobin glanced at Eva, who looked bewildered, and replied honestly. "She's an intern secretary.

She excelled during her internship, so HR personnel assigned her to my tasks."

Jayden nodded and said, "I didn't witness her excelling. Extend her internship."

Eva flushed with embarrassment, standing silently to the side.

Tobin grasped the situation immediately. He knew Eva must have done something to irk Jayden. After that, Tobin led Eva out of the office. With a stern tone, he asked, "Did you overstep any boundaries'

Avoiding his gaze, Eva denied, "No, I didn't."

She had just attempted to seduce Jayden once! Why was he so upset? Did such a man truly exist, impervious to her allure?

Tobin, having worked with Jayden for years and encountered many individuals like Eva.

He warned, "Stop deluding yourself. Provoking Mr. Owen will only lead to dire consequences."

Eva maintained her confident smile, convinced that Tobin was just trying to intimidate her.

Spending the morning with Jayden had solidified her belief that he was the epitome of the perfect

husband: wealthy, handsome, and charming

Dreams of marrying such a man filled her thoughts.

"Tobin, do you know what type of woman Mr. Owen prefers?" she asked.

Tobin lost his patience and yelled, "Just go back to your desk!"

Startled by Tobin's sudden outburst, Eva meekly plied, lowering her head as she hurried into the elevator.

As the elevator doors closed, she regained her posure and grumbled to herself, "Why doesUpstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Tobin act so high and mighty as Mr. Owen's assistant? Once I finish my internship, I'll take his place!

Determined to work harder and win Jayden's affection, she vowed to oust Tobin from his position and exact revenge for today's

Meanwhile, Tobin resumed his work at his desk. Upon receiving some news, he promptly rose and made his way to Jayden's office.

Upon entering, Tobin delivered the update directly. "I've been informed that Mabel's new album has been removed from all online platforms. The sound bites from the short video are also being scrubbed."

Acknowledging the information, Jayden instructed, "Order them to blacklist Mabel. Any media or

Tobin, concerned, ventured, "But, Mabel is your wife's sister. Won't banning Mabel pletely

affect her?"

Jayden reclined in his chair, his tone casual as he remarked, "She's my wife. She'll follow my lead."

Tobin was left speechless. After a brief silence, he exited the room.

Left alone, Jayden retrieved his phone and stared blankly at Elyse's messages.

Tobin's words lingered in his mind, but he remained convinced of the lack of family affection between Elyse and Lanny.

He couldn't fathom Elyse being the daughter of Lanny and Glenda.

Mabel, undoubtedly the offspring of Lanny and Glenda, bore a striking resemblance to her parents.

Meanwhile, Mabel roused from her hotel bed, preparing to freshen up before heading to the TV station for a new variety show

Her latest album had soared to success, catapulting her back into the limelight. With newfound popularity, her schedule was booked solid for the next three months.

She applied a facial mask and ate a sandwich, reveling in her triumph.

However, her reverie was interrupted when her assistant rushed in, wearing a worried expression. "Something terrible has happened!"
