Noticing Jayden's cold demeanor, Driscoll approached Elyse, who was walking slowly behind. He asked with concern, "What happened? Mr. Owen seems unhappy." Elyse's mind was still reeling from her parents' betrayal, and she hadn't noticed anything unusual about Jayden.
"Isn't he always like this? His expression never changes." Driscoll sighed. "I've watched him grow up. He never shows his feelings, yet I can tell he's not happy today." Elyse paused, taken aback.

Why are you thanking me?" "You've seen what my family is like. I didn't want to drag you into it," Elyse said, feeling embarrassed.
Jayden looked up, his voice cold. "Having my wife locked up in a basement reflects poorly on me. It's humiliating." Despite their lack of love, she was his wife now. How could his wife be locked in a basement? It was an affront to his dignity.
"If someone dares to hurt you again, you can either mention my nor not bother coming back here." After a brief pause, Elyse recalled Driscoll mentioning that Jayden was kind. At that moment, she smiled and mentioned that she hadn't noticed but promised to observe him more in the future. Now, reflecting on his words, she realized that despite his harsh tone, Jayden's concern for her was evident. He was tough on the outside but had a softer side within.
