PopularNovelChapter 1744:
The unexpected volof her voice startled the butler—her shouts nearly shattered his eardrums.
Meanwhile, Jordy was relaxing in the backyard with his wife, savoring drinks and intimate conversation. The
butler feared that Corrie’s vociferous outbursts might reach Zoe, prompting her to investigate the commotion.
“Silence her and escort her out now,” the butler ordered frantically. “Ensure she doesn’t set foot in the house
under any circumstances!”
Following his instructions, the guards forcibly removed Corrie from the property.
Denied access to Jordy—her main pillar of support—Corrie felt her spirit crumble. She was suddenly adrift,
without direction in her life.
Her family had meticulously planned her future: marry Brook, integrate into the Owen Group, and thereby
strengthen her own family’s position.
Now, however, Jayden threatened to terminate her employment, while Brook intended to abandon their marriage
plans. She appeared to be failing at fulfilling every expectation her family had placed upon her.
Leaning against her car door, she contemplated possible strategies to salvage the deteriorating situation. A
thought suddenly occurred to her—perhaps Brook's mother might help.
Without hesitation, Corrie drove to Brook's mother’s residence, only to discover that she wasn’t in Cambape. The
caretaker explained that she had retreated to her hometown, where the cleaner air would benefit her health.
A wave of despondency washed over Corrie once again.
As the sense of dread and uncertainty enveloped her, her phone rang—it was her mother, Bertha Bates. She
answered absentmindedly.
“Corrie,” Bertha began, “Mitchel graduates from college this year. Could you arrange a position for him at the

Your imagination thrives at puntocom
The request caught Corrie off guard. “Why should he join the Owen Group?” she questioned. “Doesn’t our family
have its own company?”
Bertha’s tone turned coaxing. “You don’t get it. If Mitchel joins the Owen Group, he’ll be your support. You won't
have to fight your battles alone anymore. Besides, he’s graduating. It's tto think about marriage. Once you
marry Brook, you can help him find a good match within the Owen Group. | was thinking of Debora Owen. She's
a couple of years older, but that’s not a problem. She has the right qualifications. As Mitchel’s sister, you should
help him.”
Corrie’s expression darkened. A tense silence stretched between them before she finally spoke. “Mom, you're
always looking out for him. You make sure everything is set up perfectly for him.”
Bertha let out a light laugh. “Of course. He’s my only son. Who else would | do it for?”
Corrie’s stomach twisted. Her voice was quiet but sharp. “What about me? Have you ever thought about what |
need?”
Bertha’s tone flattened. “What are you talking about? Of course, I've thought about you.”
