Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband

Chapter 18:

Seeing Elyse stand up for Jayden, Hiram laughed and clutched his belly. “Ha, look at you hiding behind a woman, you coward,” he jeered, prompting laughter from his girlfriend. Elyse’s expression darkened further as she retorted sharply, “Even in a wheelchair, Jayden maintains his good reputation. And you? You need Jayden’s help just to shop in the store.”

The store employees exchanged looks, their expressions shifting as they observed Hiram. Feeling the scrutinizing eyes around him, Hiram snapped, “Who do you think you are to judge me?” Elyse lifted her chin defiantly and fired back, “And who do you think you are? Why are you leeching off our visit? If you want to shop, do it on your own. I’ve never seen anyone so shameless, mooching off us and then insulting us.”

“Bitch,” Hiram shoved his girlfriend aside and advanced towards Elyse. Instinctively, Elyse stepped back, but Hiram reached out to grab her. However, Jayden swiftly intervened, grabbing Hirams wrist.

“Why are you grabbing me? Let go,” Hiram demanded, struggling to free himself, but Jayden held firm. “Xander is a loser, and so are you, dragging your elder brother Egan down with you. Do you know why he lost to me? It’s because of deadweights like you two.”

“You son of a bitch! You set us up back then,” Hiram seethed with rage and blamed Jayden for his downfall. Since the scandals, his family had stripped him of his position in the company, leaving him disgraced.

With a mocking smile, Jayden responded, “It’s all because you and Xander committed so many misdeeds. Without that, how could I have had the opportunity to seize Egan’s resources?”noveldrama

“Bastard! I’ll beat you to death,” Hiram, consumed by anger and aware of the truth, blamed Jayden for his misfortune. Jayden deftly caught Hirams other fist and gradually tightened his grip. As the pain intensified, Hirams face contorted in fear. Jayden smiled and said, “I told you, you’re a loser, but you wouldn’t believe me.”
