Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 280 The Mastermind

Elyse knew the root of her unhappiness.

Her parents didn't love her; they had only agreed to apologize because of Jayden's insistence. Without Jayden, they wouldn't ha cared. They could have even blamed her if she was assaulted by that man.

She lowered her gaze and rested her head on Jayden's chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat.

Could she really depend on Jayden?

Jayden wrapped her in a hug, but his concerns about her parents only grew stronger.

Was Elyse truly their daughter?

And if she wasn't their biological child, where were her real parents?

Jayden couldn't shake thoughts of that elderly woman who seemed to hold many secrets. If only

her memory wasn't gone.

Ina suburban building.

Mabel climbed out of bed and turned on her phone. Seeing over a hundred missed calls from Lanny and Glenda, she felt a surge of irritation.

After reading Glenda's messages, she understood Jayden planned to seek justice for Elyse and

demand an apology from her.

Mabel scoffed in frustration. Her career was in shambles, she was blacklisted, and they expected

her to apologize to that bitch? Dream

Elyse was the one who had to apologize to her!

Grabbing a backup phone, she dialed Kaelyn.

Kaelyn picked up cheerfully. "Calling this early? Did the plan work?"

"Not at all," Mabel grumbled. "Elyse is still untouched, and they're forcing me to apologize to her."

Kaelyn's cheerful tone vanished. "Who's making you apologize?"

"Jayden Owen, obviously. Who else but him?" Mabel muttered, her voice tinged with gloom.

With a scoff, she added, "He's just a cripple." Disgust seeped through her tone.

Kaelyn pressed, "Does Jayden know everything? Did you really mess up the plan? I told you to

ensure she was taken to a remote hotel, but you simply wouldn't listen!"

Mabel frowned, annoyed. "I didn't mess up the plan. I have no clue how Jayden found out."

After a moment, she snapped, "I brought the guy you hired to the hotel room, then left. My phone

getting blamed?"

Kaelyn stayed silent, knowing how serious the situation was.

She had been the one to hatch the entire plan, manipulating Mabel into taking indecent photos of

Elyse and that creepy guy, hoping to blackmail Jayden.

The goal was to make Jayden so desperate to save face that he'd meet Mabel's demands and lift the ban.

But Mabel hadn't realized Kaelyn's true motive was to ruin Elyse's reputation so thoroughly that Theo would ditch her, finally recognizing Kaelyn's value.

Kaelyn wanted to destroy Elyse, but she hadn't expected Mabel to bungle such a golden opportunity. Worse still, Jayden was now aware.

But Kaelyn was relieved that Jayden still hadn't figured out her involvement, assuming Mabel was the mastermind behind the whole thing.

Asly glimmer crossed Kaelyn's eyes as she said, "Our plan's failed, and the ban's still in place. You'll never make it as a singer now."

Mabel fumed, infuriated. She'd seen the ments online, with her fans demanding an

explanation from the pany about why such beautiful songs had been deleted.

Her felt frustrated that her pany hadn't supported her and instead let the rumors spread

"What am I supposed to do?" she said impatiently. "If Elyse doesn't step in, Jayden won't lift the

ban, and it'll ruin my life!"Kaelyn smiled softly. "There's another option."

Mabel looked confused. "What is it?"

"You could post online that your original songs were removed by the agency because of Elyse,"

Kaelyn suggested gently. "Say that the agency chose to trust her over you and banned you, causing you to lose everything."

Mabel hesitated. She had already talked to Aylin about this, but Aylin had pletely dismissed the idea..

"But my agent won't let me," she said uneasily.

Kaelyn rolled her eyes. "What are you so afraid of? Didn't you say Elyse can't find any evidence? If that's the case, then why not go for it? Or are you willing to watch your career fall

Mabel gritted her teeth, unwilling to give up.

She had already made her eback in the showbiz and was nearing her prime, but Elyse and

Jayden had ruined her career. How much did Elyse hate seeing her succeed?
