Chapter 1345
Chapter 1345:
“I’ve been more than patient. I gave them a chance, and they turned it down.”
Jayden’s gaze sharpened, giving him an air of quiet authority. “I’m not the one refusing to cooperate.”
Debora felt the walls closing in. “Jayden, please. You know how proud my parents are—they’ll never come to you. I’m the only one who can.”
Jayden let out a low chuckle. “That’s not my problem. If they’re pressuring you, then tell them no. Or are you saying you can’t?”
“It’s not that simple! Everything is falling apart. I’m just trying to hold it all together!” Her voice cracked as tears streamed down her face, the weight of the situation overwhelming her.
Elyse sighed, crossing her arms. “Crying isn’t going to fix anything, you know.”
Debora snapped her head toward her. “It’s none of your business! Can’t I even cry in peace? Just leave me alone!”
“Then go cry to your parents,” Elyse retorted without missing a beat. “Why are you crying in front of us?”
But Debora wasn’t listening. Lost in her despair, she sobbed harder, her cries growing louder. The sound grated on both Jayden and Elyse, but Debora didn’t seem to care.

Finally, Jayden’s patience wore thin. “Debora, if you don’t stop crying, I won’t help you.”
The sobs stopped abruptly. Debora sniffled, her voice small and hesitant. “So, does that mean you’ll help us?”
Jayden smirked, his response cutting. “No.”
Debora burst into tears again, her cries even louder this time.
Elyse rubbed her temples, exasperated. She elbowed Jayden lightly, silently urging him to do something.
Jayden sighed, equally fed up. This wasn’t the first time Debora had hounded him about family matters, and he was tired of it. “Fine. I’ll stop by Owen Group tomorrow if I have the time.”
Debora’s tears immediately slowed. She wiped at her face with trembling hands. “Really? You mean it?”
Jayden raised an eyebrow. “Don’t get too excited. I’m only going to take a look. I haven’t promised anything.”noveldrama
Debora clasped her hands together, her voice still thick with emotion. “You don’t understand. Owen Group is in chaos. It’s crumbling. You’re the only one who can save it.”
Jayden’s tone remained calm, almost indifferent. “Flattery won’t change my stance. I’ve already laid out my terms. If they’re not met, I won’t intervene.”
Elyse cut in, her voice firm. “Debora, he’s agreed to go. That’s enough for now. Go home and get some rest.”
Driscoll handed Debora a tissue. She took it, dabbing at her swollen eyes. “Okay,” she mumbled. “I won’t bother you anymore.”
With that, she left, casting hesitant glances over her shoulder as though hoping Jayden might stop her.
Once Debora was gone, Elyse turned to Jayden, her curiosity piqued. “What’s really going on with the Owens? Why is she so desperate? Are they really about to go under?” .
