Chapter 1218:
Jayden shook his head and replied, “Honestly, | don’t hold grudges over the way you treated me. You did teach
a retirement home. But you crossed the line when you went after my unborn child.”
Jayden paused for a moment as he mentioned the child, his control faltering. “Elyse was barely two months
along. She was so thrilled, so full of hope. It was our love made real, a symbol of our bond. And you ended that.”
Jayden’s face twisted with grief, tears slipping down as he spoke, each word filled with anguish. “That child was
Elyse’s, carried for me. Do you understand how much | was waiting for that child's birth? But you ended it. | don’t
even know if it was a boy or a girl. You forced Elyse onto an operating table and made her endure every bit of

Enzo scoffed. “You'd turn againstjust because | killed a child of yours? You can father plenty of others. Sleep
with more women; you'll have children to carry on the line. They'll still share your blood.”
Jayden sneered. “But they won't be born of love, only of lineage. Grandpa, you excel at turning people into
instruments. In your eyes, women with children are just vessels for heirs. Offspring are merely assets to uphold
the family. To you, every Owen is just a piece under your control. Was | ever anything more than a pawn to you?”
Facing the reality of danger, Enzo could no longer maintain his composure. He began yelling like a child denied
his wishes. “This is rebellion, pure rebellion. You've opposedfor months over a single lost child. You must be
out of your mind to wantdead. If you dare go through with this, don’t you fear the people | have in place
who'll strike you down first? I'm warning you. Put down that weapon, and I'll let you leave.”
Jayden scoffed. “I calone to put an end to this twisted history between us. If you kill me, fine. | have no
regrets. But if | kill you first, don’t blme.”
With that, he prepared to pull the trigger.

Seeing that his men were nearby, Enzo relaxed and began to taunt Jayden. “Do you have any idea how many
people I've stationed here? You might dodge one, but you won't evade them all.”
Jayden frowned, scanning the area with sharp attention.
Enzo continued, “Jayden, your intelligence has always been undeniable. From a young age, | knew you were the
ideal choice for the Owen family’s future. That's why | held you to higher expectations. Just cback with me.
Isn’t it Elyse you want to marry? I'll make the arrangements. You can be together. I'll even throw the most
extravagant wedding for you both.”
“A wedding for us? That's the most absurd thing I've heard,” Jayden said with biting sarcasm. “If you meant to
bless us, how could you end the life of our child?”
