Chapter 875

At the banquet, people had the audacity to confront Bonian to his face—so it wasn’t surprising they threw shade at Jayde the moment he wasn’t around.

Bonian held her hand, his eyes steady. “We’ve been through hell to get here, Jayde. You know I’d do anything to protect you.”

“Just tell me what’s going on,” he said gently. “If you shut me out, I can’t help you—and you’ll end up carrying it all alone.”

Every word was calm and full of care.

Jayde nodded. “I get it. I just want to prove myself with this deal.”

She was determined to show she could stand on her own.
