Chapter 115: Joanna glared at Jayden. He was just a cripple now, and they were alone. What was there to fear? So, she dropped her act. Her face twisted into a grimace of contempt.
"Elyse! Elyse! You see only Elyse. You adore her," she bellowed. "I'll destroy her!" Jayden fixed her with a cold gaze. "It was really your doing, huh?" Joanna burst into laughter. "What if it was me, Jayden? Do you think you're still the man you once were?" She curled her lips in scorn. "Now you're even discarded by your family. What future lies ahead for you? Running from our wedding was the only sensible thing I could do. But she was dragged back." She remembered Brook's promise that if she could have sex with Jayden and ruin his relationship with Elyse, he would grant her freedom. The thought of freedom was intoxicating to her.

Jayden pulled back his foot and slowly rose from the wheelchair. Seeing him stand, Joanna's face went pale. Her finger trembled as she pointed at him.
"You-you're not a cripple!" Her voice quaked with fear.
Jayden ignored her frantic question and asked icily, "Where is Elyse?" As Joanna stared at his legs, the realization dawned on her: Jayden had never been crippled. He had feigned disability for a year, concealing his true strength.
In that moment, she understood everything she had missed by fleeing their wedding. Terrified, she crawled towards Jayden, seized his leg, and fearfully kissed the back of his shoe.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Owen. I didn't mean to do that. Please forgive me. I can do anything for you," she pleaded.
Jayden looked down at her and asked, “Really? Then tell me, where is Elyse?" Joanna trembled and fell silent, afraid to speak. Noticing her hesitation, Jayden grasped her hair and stared at her coldly.

Fearing for her life, Joanna quickly confessed, "She's at an abandoned factory in the western suburbs. I've asked people." She stopped, unable to continue or meet Jayden's intimidating gaze, fearing she might be turned into a lifeless corpse at any moment.
Meanwhile, Elyse was confined in a sack and tossed into a car, unaware of her destination. Starving and exhausted, she struggled to think clearly. Eventually, the car halted.
Moments later, the door opened, and someone dragged her out and hoisted her over his shoulder Having not eaten for too long, Elyse felt her stomach revolt. She retched several times, but the man carrying her showed no reaction. He continued to his destination and then dropped her to the ground.
"Why hasn't that woman sent us any message yet? Maybe she's busy in bed. It's normal for her to forget herto about us! Normal? Are you kidding me? I just want to be done with this. woman and get out of here. This place is cold, and it's unnerving to stay here." Overhearing the conversation, Elyse was horrified. Was Joanna planning to kill her?
