JAYDEN'S RETURN TO THE THRONE

SHAMELESS HEIR OF GRACE-HILL

CHAPTER 4

"How did that happen?"

Bella entered her room, throwing the bridal flowers. She angrily threw everything on her dressing table, while Baron just stood and watched.

"How could that poor man be the son of the richest family in the city?" Bella said, still feeling upset and out of her mind. She felt fooled and was played by Jayden. "I can't take this humiliation!"

"Bella, stop it. What do you want with all this? He's just playing you. He's a loser like always," Baron said, unable to stand seeing Bella angry.

But the woman gave the baron a sharp look.

"You don't understand my feelings. You don't understand what it's like to be played since you are the player!"

Baron felt offended.

"What do you mean? I'm playing with you. We've agreed to ignore that man and live happily together."

"No! I won't be able to live happily with this humiliation! Argh!" Bella broke the decorations in her bridal room, but she remembered something. She ran towards the bed to pick up the small box Jayden had given her. She opened the box in a hurry, as if desperate to know what it contained.

"AAAH!" But Bella threw the box when she saw what was inside.

The bullet that once wounded Jayden was the bullet that Bella used to kill Jayden that night. Jayden had wrapped it in a gift box to be Bella's worst wedding present ever, complete with his dried blood.

"THAT BASTARD! I WILL DEFINITELY DESTROY YOU!"

"HAHAHA!"

Jayden laughed very loudly, making Medeia surprised.

"Did I surprise you? Sorry," Jayden said. Medeia didn't respond and didn't seem to know what to do. "You must want to know why I'm suddenly laughing, right?"

Medeia looked at Jayden.

"I was just imagining your sister's expression when she opened my gift box. She must have been so dumbfounded; it made her blood boil, haha!"

Medeia was a little curious about what Jayden had given Bella, but she didn't ask, even though Jayden had given her paper and pen to communicate.

"I was going to ask you about why you accepted my proposal, but it seems like it will take some time," Jayden said. "But thank you; you're making my plan work very well."

Medeia tugged lightly on Jayden's arm, scribbling something on the paper.

"Where are we going?"

Jayden replied, "To ask for a blessing to get married."

After that, the car arrived in front of a large, luxurious mansion that looked more like a castle. Jayden brought Medeia out, holding her as he walked towards Benjamin's room.

The old man looked coldly at Jayden's arrival, which was not preceded by a knock on the door.

"Good morning, grandpa!" greeted Jayden with a cheerful face.

Benjamin had no intention of responding to his grandson, but he paused when he saw the woman behind Jayden.

"Now you're going to blatantly bring a woman into my house?" asked Benjamin sarcastically.

"No, I'm not bringing her to your house. I plan to live in another house and be alone with her since we decided to get married."

"Married?" Benjamin looked surprised by Jayden's words. "Who did you decide to marry without considering my opinion?"

"As I recall, you have never cared about anything I do as long as it does not affect the good name of this family, so why should I ask for your opinion to choose the woman that I want to marry?"

"You're the heir of Gracehill, the honorable family; you can't just randomly choose a woman to marry! And look at this woman's looks." Benjamin paused, watched Medeia's face closely, and then his eyes bulged in disbelief. "You...."

"No need to try to remember if you can't, grandfather; I will introduce my future wife to you." Jayden gently pulled Medeia, showing her proudly to Benjamin, who already knew who Medeia was. "Introducing my future wife, Medeia Moore! GIVE ME THE MOST ROUSING REACTION, YOOHOO!"

There was only silence, and Medeia began to worry about the tense and cold situation in the room.

Jayden glanced at his grandfather, and the old man didn't give any reaction other than a disbelieving face. Jayden approached him.

"Grandpa, why aren't you moving? Are you so mesmerized by the beauty of my future wife?"

SLAP!

Medeia was surprised when Benjamin slapped Jayden hard.

"What a shame!" said Benjamin, his eyes bulging and furious. "Your taste is as low as your father's! choosing an enemy's child for a lover only to get betrayed, and even after that, you never learned! You even chose the worst of the worst, a deformed girl who is so weak!"

Jayden looked calm, though he was holding back his emotions after hearing his grandfather's words. He swallowed his anger quickly, then smiled back and looked at Benjamin.

"Are you now going to threaten me with removing my name from your family? Or throwing me away again? You never learn," Jayden said. "Do whatever you want to punish me; I think you would rather see your business destroyed in the hands of others than to see your pride destroyed. My decision has not changed; I will still marry Medeia."

Jayden turned around and took Medeia by the hand to leave, but Benjamin's question stopped him.

"Do you love that girl?"

Medeia looked at Jayden, who now said, "Does it matter?" He asked Benjamin. "Just like you, who threw away your love to become a big businessman, I can throw away whatever I have to get more than you can give. If it can get me what I want, I don't even mind if I have to love a puppy like I love a god."

Jayden left Benjamin's room, and it turned out that in front of the door of the family leader's room, there were Jayden's other siblings. They seemed to be waiting for this moment just to stare at Jayden with a condescending look.

"Is that girl your future wife, Jay?" asked Hellena Gracehill, Jayden's aunt. "She looks beautiful and charming... like a paper flower that could crumble at any moment by the wind."

Jayden's siblings chuckled at the taunt.

"I don't want to see you as your father's fault, Jay, but after seeing this, it looks like what Uncle said earlier was right,” said Robert.

What was that about Jayden's poor taste?

Jayden did not care about that, and he just continued to walk with Medeia out of the place.

"When I can get what I want, the first thing I'll do is clean my house. Without realizing it, I seem to have let dirt settle in my house."
