NovelXXXChapter 547:
It never crossed Tess’ mind that Jayden would utter something so preposterous. Fury surged through her, and
she pounded the table, her voice rising in a storm of reprimand. “How can you say | didn’t raise you? | carried
you for nine long months and labored to bring you into this world. | made so many efforts!”
Jayden’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “I’ve always told you to read more, or you'll only expose your
ignorance and foolishness.”
“You ungrateful son!” Tess was so enraged she clutched her chest, feeling a sharp pain inside.
“Cin.” With a face like thunder, Andrew pointed to an empty seat. “Sit down and let's talk.”
Jayden didn’t hesitate. He had chere today precisely to discuss this matter with his parents. Turning around,
Jayden effortlessly lifted Elyse with one hand, his steps crunching over shattered glass without a care. He set her
gently on a chair before seating himself.
Andrew’s eyelids twitched at Jayden’s movements. “I didn’t realize you two were so close,” he said, a note of

Jayden’s expression remained impassive. Ignoring the implied question, he went straight to the point. “What did
you want to discuss when you summonedhere?”
Andrew tapped the table, the sound sharp. “Go apologize to your grandpa, and beg him not to disown you!”
“That's right,” Tess chimed in, “You need to prove your loyalty and speak up for yourself so he reinstates you as
the heir.”

“Exactly,” Andrew continued. “Once he agrees, we'll forgive you. When you return to the Owen Group, Bryce
won't have to compete anymore. He can stay home, and we'll find him a suitable match.”
Tess nodded enthusiastically. “Now that you're no longer disabled but a normal person, I'll put those snobs in
their place. We should host a banquet to flaunt it.”
Andrew agreed, “Absolutely. We should assert our standing.”
Elyse quietly sipped her water, listening to Andrew and Tess’s domineering plans. It was clear they were used to
calling the shots, dismissing Jayden as insignificant.
Jayden glanced at Elyse, offering her sfresh fruit from the table.
Leaning back in his chair, he spoke with a lazy defiance. “Who told you that Grandpa Enzo kickedout of the
Owen clan? | was the one who chose to sever ties.”
Andrew’s eyes widened in disbelief. He struggled to contain his anger. “What did you say? You severed the
relationship voluntarily? Do you even understand what you're saying?”
Jayden nodded, his voice steady. “Of course, | understand.”
Andrew was so furious that he slammed the table and bellowed, “How dare you cut your ties with your own clan?
How could | have brought a wuss like you into this world?”
Tess retorted with indignation, “How dare you speak like that! Cwith us to see your Grandpa Enzo and
apologize to him.”

As they spoke, they both rose to their feet, intent on dragging Jayden to apologize to Enzo.
The more Elyse listened, the more she felt that Andrew and Tess were treating Jayden like a criminal.
“Enough!” Jayden suddenly shouted.
Andrew and Tess froze, staring at Jayden in shock.
Jayden’s eyes were cold, and the light in them slowly dimmed, as if something was dying within him.
After a heavy silence, Jayden suddenly asked, “Have you ever wondered why | pretended to be crippled?”
Andrew sneered. “What other reason could there be? You thought you were powerful enough to turn against your
family, didn’t you?!”
Tess’s brow furrowed. “I’m not blaming you, but why pretend to be disabled when you're perfectly fine? Do you
know what your father and | have endured the past year? Do you know how many people have laughed at us?
And now it turns out you're all right. Do you realize how deeply you've disappointed us?”
Staring at his parents, Jayden felt a profound sorrow. So, this was his family, no different from the rest of the
Owen clan!
