Chapter 935:
As Elyse played, Jayden approached Fiona. “Compose yourself,” he said in a low voice meant only for her. “If you
keep glaring at her like you want to murder her right here and now, | assure you, this will be your last day on
Earth.”
Fiona shuddered in fear and cast a wary glance at Jayden. This was the closest they had ever been, yet far from
the sweet nothings she had hoped to hear, he had just given her a chilling threat.
“I— I have no such intentions,” she stammered. “Are you seriously threateningright now? Do you care about

Jayden curled his lips into a sneer. “You claimed to like me, didn’t you?” he asked mockingly. “Are you sure it’s

eyes darted to the watch on my wrist. It was a luxury brand, and you could barely hide how much you wanted

“No! It's not like that at all! You've misunderstood.” Fiona’s denial was fierce and immediate.
In truth, she might have forgotten all about their first official meeting if Jayden hadn't brought it up. All she knew
was that she had fallen hopelessly in love with him afterward. But Jayden only saw the guilt that flickered in her

Fiona swallowed hard. “No, | don’t want your money,” she insisted. “It’s you | want! | love you, Jayden.”
Jayden halted mid-sentence and stepped back, putting distance between himself and Fiona.

Fiona, unaware of his retreat, felt the weight of his stare, as if a predator lurked in the shadows, watching her,
the prey. He had accused her of being interested only in his wealth.
She denied it fiercely. She believed her feelings were genuine; she loved him more than anything else. To calm
herself, she repeated these assurances in her mind until her anxiety subsided. She rationalized that Jayden’s
recent actions were likely a test of her sincerity. When he had casually offered her the watch, it was his way of
gauging whether she was money-minded. Fiona was convinced she had passed this test, proving her indifference
to his wealth.
Holding her chest, she contained her excitement. If not for her restraint, she might have leaped for joy. She was
glad that Jayden finally took notice of her. The joy was palpable, and for the moment, even Elyse seemed less
annoying.
