EuropeNovelChapter 625:
Lewis looked bewildered.
Mia stepped in, her tone gentle, “Eva mentioned that you asked her to deliver the document for Mr. Owen.”
Eva stood her ground, asserting, “Yes! He toldto give it to Mr. Owen!”
Lewis, still puzzled, responded, “I did ask you to send him a document, but what's the issue here? Isn't that what
I should do?”
Jayden reassured him, “You didn’t do anything wrong.” Then, shifting his gaze to Eva, he continued, “Now, all
executives are involved, and none of them made any mistakes. So, who exactly is responsible for this mess?”
Eva was at a loss for words.
With a sigh, Elyse crossed her arms and lowered her head, murmuring, “Just ask her to leave. I'm tired.”
The three executives exchanged glances, misunderstanding Elyse’s intent. They thought she harbored
resentment towards Eva and wanted her out of the company.
Elyse clarified to Eva, “Your mistake was not knocking before entering the office. You interrupted a private

Mia's expression subtly shifted at Elyse’s words. She had recently begun to notice Eva’s calculating schemes.

Mia found Eva had been showering Jayden with an unusual amount of attention. With Jayden’s absence from the
company, Eva made it a daily routine to stroll by the door of the CEO's office, seemingly just passing through.
Mia was taken aback as a light bulb went off in her mind. She could finally guess why Jayden had stirred things
up like this. He wanted to show Eva her place and make it clear to everyone just how important Elyse was to
him.
The more Mia mulled it over, the more sense it made. She could tell how much Jayden cared about Elyse. It
seemed that Jayden was deeply in love with her.
Though the three executives were beginning to see Jayden’s perspective, Eva was still clueless. In her view,
Elyse was leveraging her status as Jayden’s wife to assert dominance over her. She clenched her fists, thinking
that Elyse’s gestures of goodwill were insincere.
Jayden stole a glance at Elyse, noticing her lack of anger. He was pleased to see that she had been unusually
composed. Suppressing his thoughts, Jayden instructed Mia firmly, “Mia, take her out. If this happens again, you
know what needs to be done.”
Mia nodded firmly. “I understand, Mr. Owen.”
With a stern look at Eva, Mia guided her out of the office. The echoes of her scolding could be faintly heard down
the hallway.
After Mia and Eva left, Lewis felt it wasn’t appropriate for him to linger. He had numerous projects needing his
attention and respectfully announced, “Mr. and Mrs. Owen, I'll take my leave.”
Kash quickly found an excuse to leave as well.
Once everyone had left, Jayden pulled Elyse into his arms. “You look exhausted. Are you tired?”
After a long silence, Elyse asked softly, “You know that Eva has feelings for you, don’t you?”
Jayden felt a rush of happiness upon hearing this. He knew she was jealous. Elyse’s jealousy was a clear
indicator that she still loved him.
Her subdued demeanor was only because of the abortion, which had taken a toll on her health and left her more
reserved than usual. Relieved by this realization, Jayden’s spirits lifted. “Shouldn't | have acknowledged that?”
Elyse raised her head, meeting his gaze with a mischievous glint in her eyes. “I know you're well aware.”
Elyse continued, “When did you find out about the intern’s crush on you?”

“It’s relevant now.” Jayden couldn’t pinpoint the exact moment he had becaware of Eva's feelings for him.
He only knew that after a previous incident, he had distanced himself from her. Eva was no longer his secretary.
In fact, she had yet to transition to a regular employee role.
After staring at Jayden for a while, Elyse spoke slowly, “It seems you're still evading my question.”
Jayden didn’t catch her words clearly, except for the mention of a “question.” Moving closer, he asked, “What did
you just say?”
Elyse blinked away the sadness in her eyes and shook her head gently. “I didn’t say anything. You must have
misheard me.”
Jayden sensed something off and, tenderly cradling her face in his hands, planted a few gentle kisses. “If Eva's
presence bothers you, I'll speak to Mia about managing it. You shouldn't have to feel uncomfortable around her,
alright?”
Elyse nodded. “I know. I'm the one you love the most.”
Jayden’s smile widened at her words. “Absolutely. | brought you here today so that everyone in the company
knows you're the woman | love.”
Elyse forced a smile and remarked, “I bet that makes it tough for the other female employees in the company.
Peyton mentioned they see you as the most eligible bachelor. They probably feel like they've hit the jackpot if
they get your attention.”
