NovelEnglishChapter 360:
Corrie was feeling grumpy. Brook pushed her to act, but she couldn't hide her sour expression and scowled at
him. Brook’s expression was even grimmer than Corrie’s. Without hesitation, he shoved her and expressed
dissatisfaction, saying, “Why that look? If you don’t want to be here, just leave. Don’t act like I've mistreated
you. Your family has benefited a lot from me.”

Corrie stumbled back against the door frame, wincing in pain. She suppressed her pain and anger, quickly
regaining her composure, and said, “It's my fault. Please don’t be angry.”
“I don’t get why Jayden picked you as his girlfriend back then. You're always plotting something. No wonder he
prefers Elyse now,” he chuckled and got out of the car, abandoning any pretense of chivalry, leaving Corrie
behind as he hurried to a restaurant.

A malicious look crossed Corrie’s eyes. How could Brook compare her to Elyse? Elyse was considered
insignificant. She herself, however, was destined to becpresident someday. Yet, at this moment, she still
relied on Brook's support for her family. She couldn't afford to break ties with him just yet. After composing
herself, she opened the door and hastened after him.
She accidentally ran into Debora while following Brook. Now tasked with significant responsibilities by Enzo,
Debora was pleased to see anyone. Spotting Brook, she greeted him with a smile and concern. “Brook, so good
to have you out of the hospital. I'm sorry | went too far last time. Please accept my apology.”
Debora gave an obviously insincere apology. She even thought it was good that she had pushed Brook
downstairs, making him unable to cto the company for days. She feigned stretching and added, “Brook, I've
been swamped lately. | have a meeting with the department manager after lunch, so I can’t stay and chat. Enjoy
your meal with my future sister-in-law.”
Debora glanced at Corrie with a mix of disdain and mockery. They moved in the ssocial circles. Debora was
well aware of the distasteful things Corrie had done. She understood that Brook was trying to cement his status
through his connection with Corrie’s family. But in the Owen Group, the true power and influence lay with Enzo.
And anyone Enzo admired would becthe future leader of the Owen Group. Debora inwardly scoffed. Brook
might seem polished and clever, but he was never particularly astute. Enzo wouldn't value such indirect
strategies, such as alliances formed through marriage. His main interest was in individual merit.
Corrie was irritated by Debora’s stare. To her, each member of the Owen family seemed to outdo the others in
terms of eccentricity. After Debora walked away, Corrie asked Brook, “Is your grandpa really okay with entrusting
the company’s business to someone like Debora?”
Brook replied impatiently, “He doesn’t care whether the successor is male or female. He only cares about their
ability to run the company and keep the family business successful.”
After a moment of silence, he gave Corrie a disapproving look. “Why are you an outsider asking so many
questions? Finish your lunch and go. Don’t linger around me. | need to focus all my energy on my work.”

Corrie got angry and clenched her fists. She knew that Brook didn’t like her, his disdainful gaze making no secret
of it. Determined, she decided to find a way to dodge Jayden’s spies and meet with Enzo.
Pearce wrapped up his meal and had to leave due to a phone call. After Elyse and Pearce exchanged farewells,
she turned and caught Jayden’s moody gaze. She smiled awkwardly and suggested, “Let's go htoo.”
“Okay. Let's go home, and Ill settle things with you,” Jayden said as he controlled his wheelchair and moved to
the elevator. Elyse hurried to keep pace with him. Inside the cramped elevator, the atmosphere grew tense.
“Do you know who that man is?” Jayden suddenly asked.
Elyse was taken aback. “He’s my friend and a university professor.”
Jayden stated calmly, “The watch he wears is worth as much as an island.”
Elyse was stunned. After regaining her composure, she asked incredulously, “Is a university professor that rich?”
“Foolish. Being a university professor is just one of his roles,” Jayden looked at Elyse intently and said, “I'm
genuinely concerned that one day someone might take advantage of you if I'm not watching out for you.”
