Chapter 100
Why Are You So Angry With Me
Early on the second day, Elyse was already up, shouldering her handbag as she made her way downstairs.
Driscoll, noticing her early start, approached with a concerned look. "You're up quite early today. What's the reason?"
"need to practice, so I'm heading out early," Elyse quickly excused herself and briskly exited the house, skipping breakfast.
Driscoll watched her departure, a sigh escaping him as he caught the still-present anger on her face.
Later, Jayden began his day, wheeling himself to the dining table. Noticing Elyse's absence, he inquired nonchalantly, "Hasn't she gotten up yet? Isn't she supposed to be at work?"
"She's already left," Driscoll replied, his voice tinged with anxiety.
With a slight frown, Jayden pressed, "She's still upset, isn't she?"
After a brief pause, Driscoll admitted, "Yes, it seems so."
Jayden's expression darkened, and he muttered through clenched teeth, "Perhaps I've been too lenient with her."
Driscoll sighed deeply, sensing the gravity of the discord between Jayden and Elyse was more severe than ever.
Elyse had made it to the studio and after a rehearsal session with other orchestra members, she
felt a pang of hunger and headed to the lounge for some food.
After a brief breakfast, Wanda and another male instructor entered the rehearsal room.
The instructor, Kai Hanson, scanned the group and declared, "We're arranging a celebratory dinner for those who participated in the filming session at the TV station yesterday."
An excited colleague inquired, "Your treat?".
Kai corrected him. "No, it's courtesy of the TV station. They were impressed with your performance last night and are interested in a long-term partnership."
Wanda, smiling, added, "This gives you more opportunities to showcase your talents." After sharing the news, the two left the room.
Holding a glass of water, Elyse pondered her evening plans. Realizing she wouldn't be home for dinner, she thought about informing Jayden. However, she quickly dismissed it. Why should she have to report everything to him?
In the evening, as she reached the hotel, her phone rang-it was Jayden
"The driver went to pick you up and you weren't at the studio. Where are you?" His voice was calm, making it hard to gauge his mood.
Placing her handbag on a chair, Elyse mirrored his tone. "I'm at a dinner party. I won't be home for

Jayden's response carried a hint of displeasure. "Did I agree to you attending theContent from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
party?"
"Do I need your permission? You don't care about my affairs anyway," Elyse shot back.
"I don't understand you. I just didn't go to watch your performance. Why are you so angry with me?"
Jayden waited for a reply, but silence filled the air. He checked the phone screen and found that Elyse had ended the call.
"Elyse! How dare you!" he exclaimed, his anger pushing him to stand from his wheelchair. He turned to Driscoll. "Get a car ready for me now. I'm going to bring her back."
Driscoll responded with caution, "Sir, she didn't provide the address of the party. I'll have the car ready shortly, but we'll need to find out where she is."
"Then find it quickly!" Jayden snapped, his frustration evident.
Meanwhile, at the restaurant of the hotel, Elyse set her phone aside and joined her orchestra members. Shortly after, the TV station's manager and Kai arrived, and everyone enjoyed a lively dinner.

Upon exiting, she found two men standing ominously by the door. Her heart raced, possibly from drinking too much. Trying to maintain composure, she eyed the two men warily and demanded, "Who are you? This is the ladies' room."
The men exchanged glances and moved towards her, reaching out as if to grab her.
Elyse attempted to flee, but her body felt weak and unresponsive. As she became increasingly dizzy and her limbs grew limp, she realized what was happening, though she couldn't recall when or how she had been drugged.
The two men grasped her firmly and escorted her to the elevator.
As her body temperature rose, panic set in, but her mind was too clouded to react effectively. Back in the private room, her orchestra members remained unaware of her abduction. Her phone vibrated persistently on the table until someone, slightly tipsy, picked it up. "Hello, who is this?" On the other end, Jayden's voice was stern. "Let Elyse answer the phone." "She's not here, probably in the ladies' room," the girl replied, her words slightly slurred. Confused, she queried, "And who am I speaking with?" Glancing at the display, which showed Jayden, she waited for an answer.
"I'm her husband, and I've come to pick her up,"" Jayden replied coldly.
