NovelEnglishChapter 359:
After leaving Jayden’s house, Corrie went to the hospital to pick up Brook, who had just been discharged. Brook
wore his suit and tie and refused to have lunch with her.
“What else do you have to do? We agreed to have lunch together yesterday,” Corrie said, her smile fading.
“I haven't been to the office for days and have a lot of work to do,” Brook retorted, looking unhappy. “I'm not like
you who just goes shopping and has afternoon tea every day.”
Corrie’s face darkened momentarily before she quickly concealed her emotions. She still needed to marry Brook
to get what she wanted. Brook was about to leave when he saw Corrie standing still.
“Fine. You can cto the office with me, and I'll have lunch with you near my office. After that, you can go
hby yourself,” he said irritably.
Corrie suppressed her anger and forced a smile as she followed Brook to the car. In the car, Brook ignored Corrie
as he angrily called his subordinate.

“What on earth did Debora do?” he snapped. “Why did my grandpa favor her so much? She took on multiple
projects in just a few days.”
Corrie rested her chin on one hand and pretended to look at the scenery outside the window, but in fact, she was
focused on Brook's conversation.
“You don’t know? If you don’t know, then go and ask,” Brook barked into the phone. “How dare you tellyou
know nothing! Do you want to get fired?”

Corrie’s curiosity was piqued. Since she'd been with Brook for quite stime, she had learned a bit about the
Owen Group. Although Debora seemed capable, she hadnt succeeded in any major projects since joining the
company. She didn’t perform as well as Brook, who had accomplished a lot.
However, Enzo now valued her highly. If she hadn't achieved success with the company’s projects, then she
must have gained Enzo’s attention in other ways. Corrie becmore curious about what Debora had done to
earn such recognition.
Just then, Brook hung up the phone. “It's said that Debora had a meal with Grandpa a few days ago. She must
have told him something,” he muttered. He then turned to Corrie and asked, “What do you think Debora said to
my grandpa?”
“It must have been something that really intrigued him and directly addressed his needs,” Corrie responded after
pondering for a moment. “Otherwise, he wouldn't have entrusted her with so many projects.”
Brook agreed with a nod. “Debora is so lucky. She’s gotten so many projects just by saying the right things. I'm
different. I've earned every project through hard work.”
Corrie pretended to be impressed by Brook. She offered her praises to please him before falling silent. A moment
later, she clenched her clothes hem, and a surge of excitement washed over her. Why hadn't she thought to
approach Enzo herself before?
There was no way Enzo knew that Jayden was faking his disability. Once he found out, Corrie could leverage that
information to ask for resources as a reward. With sluck, she might even persuade Enzo to help her and her
parents seize control of the Bates Group.

She planned everything meticulously and decided to disclose Jayden’s deception to Enzo that very evening.
Suddenly, she received a message. She was so startled that she screamed upon seeing it.
“Why are you so loud? | was thinking about work and just figured something out, but you interrupted me,” Brook
said, tilting his head. He looked visibly annoyed.
“Sorry, | didn’t mean to,” Corrie quickly apologized, turning her back to him to quietly check the message.
In the first photo, a man pointed a dagger at her father who was playing golf. In the second picture, her mother
was lying in a beauty salon with a facial mask on, unaware that someone was pointing a knife at her neck.
Corrie knew it was a threat. But who could it be? Corrie becrestless. Suddenly, a face appeared in her mind.
It was Jayden. He was threatening her with her parents’ lives. Corrie bit her lip, shocked by Jayden’s
shamelessness.
She glanced back at the message, which said, “Watch your mouth or they will becthe victims of your
mistake.” Corrie’s eyes burned with anger. Jayden was despicable. She had thought he was a good person, but
he had just shown his true colors.
“Hey, get out of the car. What are you waiting for?” Brook's loud voice snapped Corrie back to reality.
