Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband

Chapter 1462:

“I see your point… it makes sense.” Brook frowned, deep in thought. “But who could be leaking information to the Happer family?”

“Whoever it might be, it’s your job to figure it out,” Jayden said firmly.

Brook let out an exaggerated sigh, rolling his eyes. “So, you’re just going to sit back and leave me to pick up the slack, huh?”

Jayden shrugged, his tone nonchalant. “I’ve given you a nudge in the right direction. The rest is on you. I can’t carry the whole load, can I?”

Brook snorted, the frustration evident on his face as a dark shadow clouded his features. He decided it wasn’t worth arguing and bit back any further retorts.

A sharp knock on the office door broke the tense silence. “Come in,” Jayden called out.

The door creaked open, revealing Debora. She stepped inside, her expression a cocktail of hesitation and determination as she glanced between the two men.

Lowering her gaze slightly, she spoke softly. “Brook, can I talk to Jayden alone for a moment?”

Brook shot a questioning look at Jayden. Seeing no objection, he gave a curt nod and left the room, shutting the door behind him.

Jayden leaned back in his chair, studying Debora’s uneasy demeanor. He arched an eyebrow. “Alright, Debora. What’s on your mind?”

Fidgeting with the hem of her blouse, Debora hesitated before finally speaking. “Jayden, you didn’t just walk away from Owen Group—you saved it. Why didn’t you tell me?”

Jayden rubbed his chin thoughtfully, already guessing the real reason behind her question. “Before I decided to work with Brook, you were the first person I considered.”

Debora’s eyes widened in surprise, disbelief flickering across her face. “When you came to Watscar looking for me, I didn’t spell it out, but I noticed your effort,” Jayden continued. “Afterward, I reached out to your father to discuss a partnership, but he wasn’t interested. That was the end of it.”

Debora stared at him, processing his words for what felt like an eternity.

Finally, a bitter smile tugged at her lips. “You could’ve come directly to me. You didn’t need my father’s permission.”

“Are you the one calling the shots in your family?” Jayden asked.

Debora parted her lips, words teetering on the edge of escape, but none found their way out. In the end, all she managed was a bitter smile. “I never thought you’d team up with Brook, not after the… history you two shared,” she finally said, her tone tinged with disbelief.

“Brook mended his ways long ago,” Jayden replied, his voice calm, almost casual.

Debora’s eyes widened, and her head snapped up like a spring. “When? Why wasn’t I told?”

Jayden met her gaze with a cryptic smile, giving nothing away. That look was all it took for Debora to realize she’d hit a wall. No answers would be coming.

She sighed, letting the tension seep out with her breath. “Do I still have a place here at the company?”

“If you want it, you can keep your old job,” Jayden said with an easy nod.

“Thank you, I’ll get back to work now,” Debora said quietly, her voice carrying a trace of renewed determination. Without another word, she turned and left the office, her steps brisk.
