Chapter 1572:

Brook's troubled nod hung heavy in the silence.

Beside him, Elyse frowned, words of comfort dying on her lips before they could form.

With a weary sigh, Brook turned to Jayden, his voice laden with barely contained frustration. “You promised me

you'd rescue Jennie. But since then, you never gaveany news about her, nor toldwhere she was.”

“I know where she is,” Jayden replied carefully, measuring each word, “but | can’t act right now. She’s currently

under the Bates family’s control. Although her freedom is restricted, her life isn’t in danger.”

Brook's eyes widened. “The Bates family? Where is she exactly? | need to find her!”

Watching anxiety ripple across Brook's features, Elyse stepped in. “Don’t get too worked up. If Jayden hasn't

acted, it means rescuing her isn’t easy.”

Brook collapsed into a nearby chair, raking his fingers through his hair in frustration. “What should | do?”

Jayden observed his cousin with a mixture of pity and disdain, noting how love had stripped away his composure.

“How is Corrie doing now?”

At the mention of Corrie, disgust twisted Brook's features. “What else? She's pressuringto marry her.”

His voice grew bitter as he continued, “When Grandpa was alive, she worked for him, made quite a spectacle of

herself, and curried favor with several key clan members. Now, those who once accepted her ignore her. She

doesn’t want to lose her former glory, so she’s determined to cling toat all costs.”

A calculating look crossed Jayden’s face as he considered the situation. “I know a solution. Soon, you'll be able to

see Jennie.”

Brook's face clouded with confusion. “What sort of solution do you have in mind?”

Jayden leaned back, a faint smile curling his lips as he crossed his legs. “Simple—find yourself a new girlfriend.”

Brook blinked, baffled. After a moment, he sighed. “I’m asking for serious advice, Jayden. Could you not joke

around?”

Jayden met his gaze steadily. “I'm not joking. | mean it. Make it public—loud and clear—so that everyone knows

about it. That'll pull Corrie’s attention entirely toward your new girlfriend.”

Brook frowned. “But why?”

Jayden leaned forward, his tone calm yet calculating. “Corrie’s holding Jennie hostage because you refuse to

marry her. She's convinced you're still carrying a torch for Jennie. If you show her that you've moved on, her

obsession might wane. She might even release Jennie, hoping Jennie will bait you back.”

Brook's expression shifted as understanding dawned. “That's a clever gambit. You're sharper than | gave you

credit for.”

Jayden smirked. “Corrie’s ambitions are as transparent as glass. She’s all about climbing the social ladder.”

Brook stood, a plan forming in his mind. “I'll take care of it today. I'll find someone willing to play along.”
