Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband

Chapter 1461:

With this thought, Greg bit back his words, his face red with suppressed fury, unable to speak.

Jayden, seeing Greg’s flustered state, quickly lost interest in the conversation. “Enough standing around looking foolish. You’re just killing the mood. Leave already.”

Greg shot Jayden a venomous look before storming off, resolved to inform Debora about everything that had happened.

After everyone had departed, Brook let out a relieved sigh. “This significant overhaul will finally cleanse the company of its dead weight.”

“It was long overdue,” Jayden said, his voice laden with gravity. “The current state of Owen Group is all Enzo’s doing. He claimed his decisions were for the good of the company, yet he let these leeches thrive. I can’t make sense of his logic.”

Brook nodded, understanding Jayden’s frustration. “Now that you’ve cleared them out, running the company should be much smoother for you.”

Jayden gave Brook a significant look and responded, “Brook, even though I’m the chairman now, I have no plans to take over the daily operations of the company.”

Brook blinked, momentarily caught off guard by the bluntness of Jayden’s words. After a brief pause, his brows knitted together, and he asked, “What’s that supposed to mean? If you’re not steering the ship, then who will?”

“You, of course,” Jayden said with a casual shrug. “I agreed to pull Owen Group out of the fire to become its largest shareholder. Playing chairman was never part of the deal.”

Brook let out a dry laugh, equal parts disbelief and irritation. The pieces were finally falling into place. Jayden had no intention of sticking around to do the grunt work—he was planning to play the phantom boss, leaving all the heavy lifting to him.

“So, you’re really bailing on Owen Group?” Brook pressed, his tone laced with exasperation.

“I’ve got enough chaos in my personal life without adding Owen Group’s headaches to the mix.” Jayden leaned back, his calm demeanor unshaken.

Besides, Elyse was currently focused on her work in Cambape, and Jayden had no intention of leaving her side to deal with Owen Group’s affairs in Watscar.

He couldn’t find a single compelling reason to remain in Watscar and work for the Owen Group.

“My reputation with the Owen family is already in the gutter,” he continued. “Honestly, keeping my distance might actually be for the best. You’ve always been the loyal one, Brook—the guy who genuinely cares about the company’s future. You’re far better suited to take the reins.”

Brook’s eyes narrowed as he folded his arms. “So, that’s your excuse for dumping all the responsibility on me?”

Jayden smirked, his tone light with a hint of teasing. “Call it what you want, but the fact remains—I’m the chairman. And that means you’re stuck doing as I say.”

Brook was so furious he could barely form a reply. His jaw worked as if searching for words, but none came fast enough to match his anger. Before the tension could boil over, Jayden pivoted, steering the conversation into uncharted territory. “By the way, something about Casper doesn’t sit right with me.”noveldrama

Brook, grateful for the distraction, reached for his glass of water. “What makes you say that?”

Jayden tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, his expression thoughtful. “It’s the Happer family. They’re way too clued in on Owen Group’s internal affairs—stuff that should be locked down tighter than Fort Knox. Even if there were leaks, it would raise enough red flags to trigger an investigation. But somehow, the Happers always seem to get their hands on the precise intel that’s allowed them to rally the other shareholders so quickly. If you ask me, something stinks, and it’s not last week’s leftovers.”
