?<strong>Chapter 634:</strong>


    Elyse, feeling a pang of guilt, avoided making eye contact and admitted, “I’ve been feeling tired easilytely, so I haven’t managed to practice for long stretches.”


    Gavin let out a sigh. “There’s less than three months until thepetition. You need to push yourself harder, or you’ll end up embarrassing yourself on a global stage.”


    Feeling rebellious, Elyse retorted, “I doubt it! I’m confident I can earn everyone’s apuse.”


    Gavin cracked a smile and said, “Keep at it. Until Mr. Tucker is back, you need to continue ying the violin.”


    Looking resigned, Elyse replied softly, “Okay.”


    As they chatted andughed, they were unaware that Fiona had been observing them from a window for quite some time.


    This was Fiona’s first visit to the studio since her disagreement with Gavin. She hade intending to follow Cody’s suggestion to apologize to Gavin and then resume her practice. However, spotting Elyse there, Fiona felt a surge of jealousy.


    Elyse already had Jayden. Why then was she still sharingughs and seeming so close with Gavin? Wasn’t she aware that being married meant she should steer clear of even the appearance of undue closeness with other men?


    Fiona clenched her teeth and stormed off, deciding not to enter the studio.


    After walking away, Fiona spent her day shopping at the mall. While there, she felt a pang of envy seeing the couples around her. She then entered a luxury handbag store. Inside, she watched a man purchasing bags for his wife using a credit card.


    The woman’s joyful and self-satisfied expression ignited jealousy in Fiona. She found herself reminiscing about the joyful moments shared between Elyse and Jayden. Fiona wished she could be the one with Jayden.


    Driven by her emotions, Fiona became fixated on seeing Jayden. She was determined that things needed to change. She felt an urgent need to convey to Jayden that she was the most suitable woman for him.


    With that thought in mind, she hailed a taxi to the Bayzee Group.


    Having recently spent a lot of time at home, she had conducted thorough online research about Jayden.


    She discovered many details about him. For example, she learned that Jayden was once a key figure at the Owen Group and had be disabled following a car ident a year ago. These were aspects of Jayden that were new to her, yet she was eager to learn more about him.


    At the Bayzee Group, Fiona called out to the receptionist, “I’m a friend of Elyse Lloyd. She’s Mr. Owen’s wife, you know? I need to discuss something important with Mr. Owen concerning her.”


    Elyse’s name was well-recognized at the Bayzee Group. After all, Jayden had recently introduced Elyse at thepany, and everyone was aware of his deep affection for her.


    Therefore, when Fiona mentioned she needed to speak with Jayden about Elyse, the receptionist quickly ryed the message.


    Although Fiona was granted permission to go up, she felt no joy, only bitterness. The mere mention of Elyse’s name seemed to instantly elevate the receptionist’s demeanor. Fiona envisioned that once she became Jayden’s wife, she would rece the current receptionist.


    After Fiona took the elevator up to Jayden’s office, she paused at the door when Tobin appeared. Tobin looked at Fiona with suspicion. “Are you really a friend of Mrs. Owen?”


    In response, Fiona snapped back, “Why wouldn’t I be her friend? I’m her violin practice partner.”


    Tobin remained cautious around her. “You mentioned you’re here to discuss something about Mrs. Owen?”


    Fiona persisted with her deception. “Yes, that’s correct. Is there an issue?”


    “What is the matter concerning her?” Tobin asked, maintaining his politeness but harboring deep suspicions.


    Irritated by Tobin’s demeanor, Fiona retorted sharply, “It’s a matter I need to discuss with Jayden. What if your interference causes unnecessary dys?”


    After a brief hesitation, Tobin knocked on Jayden’s office door and entered following a response. He then stood by the door and briefly ryed the situation.


    Fiona heard Jayden’s voice saying, “Let her in,” and she gave Tobin a triumphant smile.


    Tobin, without further remarks, opened the door for Fiona, but his gaze was icy enough to chill. Tobin was a dedicated advocate for Elyse and believed she was the perfect partner for Jayden, making him vignt about women who approached Jayden with hidden agendas. Fiona had already been fired by Tobin and was not allowed to see Jayden again.
