In the afternoon, Jayden had planned to pick up Elyse when he received an unexpected call from Brook, urging
him to meet at the Owen Group office for a discussion. After much deliberation, Jayden decided to honor Brook's
request.
Upon arrival at the Owen Group's building, Jayden was escorted to Brook's office by his assistant. When the
assistant opened the door, Jayden’s gaze fell upon Debora and Corrie within the room. Given that Corrie’s
parents were under Jayden's control, she refrained from any impulsive actions. Upon catching sight of Jayden,
Corrie averted her gaze, feigning unfamiliarity as she turned her face away from him. Meanwhile, Debora,
leaning casually against the chair, bore a mischievous glint in her eyes.
Jayden glanced at the room’s occupants before finally focusing on Brook. With a direct yet composed demeanor,
he inquired, “Brook, what is it you require of me?” Seated comfortably on the sofa, Brook twirled a pen between
his fingers, a peculiar expression playing across his features. His tone sharp, Brook retorted, “You're asking me?

discern your thoughts?”
Clutching his jaw tightly, Brook continued, “I presumed you were incapable of causing any disruption. | never
anticipated that you would secretly form the Bayzee Group right under the Owen Group's nose.” Corrie, listening
from a distance, was stunned. Jayden, the founder of Bayzee Group? No wonder its chairman's identity remained
shrouded in mystery, eluding public scrutiny. At that moment, Corrie regarded Jayden with emotions swirling in
her eyes, her expression betraying a complex mixture of curiosity and admiration.

Jayden was undeniably the most remarkable individual she’d encountered, perhaps even someone she could
envision marrying. Tilting her head, Debora remarked, “You're quite the enigma, Jayden. Were it not for my
thorough investigation, | wouldn't have uncovered your burgeoning business empire flourishing behind the
scenes of the Owen Group. You've been keeping secrets from us for far too long.”
Corrie couldn’t suppress a subtle eyeroll. Not only had Jayden concealed his business endeavors, but also his
physical condition. He was certainly not the cripple he’d portrayed himself to be. Unfortunately, she dared not
divulge the truth lest her parents face dire consequences.
Jayden remained unfazed by the revelation of his company, though he hadn't anticipated Debora being the one
to uncover it. Debora’s intellect seemed to overshadow Brook's. Observing Jayden’s absentmindedness and
blatant disregard, Brook's anger surged like a storm. Rising from his seat, he stormed toward Jayden, his voice
thundering, “Why keep the truth about Bayzee Group concealed? Are you planning to retaliate against me? You
knew | was relying on that cooperation, yet you chose to collaborate elsewhere. I'm your family. Why didn’t you
choose me?”
Brook had invested substantial tand effort into securing cooperation with the Bayzee Group, only to be
thwarted inexplicably. He hadn't encountered a single leader of the Bayzee Group, leaving him perplexed by his
failure. A realization struck Brook like lightning. Jayden had played with him, sabotaging their potential
collaboration.

As Jayden snapped back to reality, he countered, “Brook, you've misjudged. You guys leftno choice.
Remember when you and Grandpa coercedinto marriage? Are you retaliating againstsimply because |
suggested you marry sgirl? Do you even consideryour family?” Brook inquired.
Jayden’s smirk held a hint of provocation as he retorted, “Do you takeas your family? The Owen family
thrives on competition. When have we been taught to get along well with each other?” Debora nodded in
agreement. “Indeed, Jayden is correct. Competing with one another is a longstanding tradition within our family.”
Brook's fury reached a boiling point, attempting to tip Jayden and his wheelchair to the floor, but the wheelchair
wouldn't budge. Irritated, Brook snapped, “Jayden, you haven't showneven an ounce of respect. Are you
trying to garner favor in front of Grandpa by proving that | can’t outmatch you despite your condition?”
Jayden’s lips curled into a wry smile as he replied, “Don’t overanalyze it, Brook. My founding of the Bayzee Group
has nothing to do with you. I have no interest in the Owen Group's inheritance rights either. | simply want to
pursue something I’m passionate about.”
Debora interjected, “While your perspective may differ, Grandpa's does not. Brook's stance is logical. You seek
no power struggle, but what you did is far more brutal.” Jayden’s smile persisted as he remarked, “Then that’s
your dilemma. As for me, | relinquish any claim to the inheritance. Can't you settle the victor by yourselves?”
