Strategic Moves
"He's still as sharp as ever, hitting the nail on the head."
"Every time I'm around him, he gives me chills. I'm up next for the presentation. I wonder if it'l
meet his approval."
"Working under him felt intense. His presence is overwhelming. If I were his subordinate, I wouldn't be able to relax for a moment."
Brook caught wind of some conversations about Jayden and, with a forced smile, he turned to
Jayden, teasing, "Thinking about heading back to Owen Group, Jayden?"
Was Brook testing him? Jayden looked at him, noticing a hint of jealousy and reluctance behind that smile.
It was obvious to Jayden that not everyone was convinced by Brook yet.
Jayden shook his head. "Since my disability, my physical abilities have declined. I'm concerned about my health."
"I see," Brook said, glancing at Jayden's legs thoughtfully. He shifted the conversation to the next presenter without further discussion.
With Jayden's presence, everyone became more focused on the data in the following
presentations, wary of Jayden's potential criticisms.
Brook appeared unfazed during the discussions. Once the meeting concluded and he escorted
Jayden out with a smile, he struggled to conceal his frustration in his office.
"A bunch of losers! Worthless!"
He could sense that his employees still held respect and trust for Jayden. They seemed more inclined to follow Jayden's lead than his own.
This was a troubling sign. Brook couldn't help but wonder what his grandfather would think of him.
Could he really be deemed inferior to < someone with a disability?
If that were the case, he might lose his chance to inherit the company
Brook had invited Jayden to the meeting hoping to showcase Jayden's supposed downfall and
affirm himself as the future leader of Owen Group
But his plan had backfired. Instead, he discovered that his employees remained unconvinced by
him.
The realization weighed heavily on Brook.
"Why didn't you just die in that car accident?"
Brook's face contorted with hatred.
After leaving Owen Group building, Jayden sat in his car.

Clive, sitting beside him, raised a glass of whisky. "Jayden, how does it feel to return to your old battleground?"
Jayden shifted in his seat, unbuttoned his shirt, and took the glass of whisky from Clive. "It's no wonder Owen Group is faltering. Brook is not a capable leader."
"Definitely not. Your cousin may be ambitious, but he lacks the skills." Clive took a sip of whisky and chuckled. "Brook Owen must have felt the pressure this time, right?"
Jayden didn't respond directly. Swirling his glass, he said, "I've heard that my uncle's daughter is returning from overseas. If I'm not mistaken, she intends to challenge Brook for the position." "Your uncle's daughter? Seth's daughter?" Clive rang the bell, and < added, "Looks like there's going to be quite a spectacle at Owen Group. If things go as expected, Bryce will end up as collateral damage in their power struggle."
After a pause, he continued, "Your younger brother is rather naive. If he remains with the company, they'll easily shift the blame onto him. Why not persuade him to leave his position?" "I've tried, but he won't listen," Jayden replied.
Clive chuckled. "Well, if there's nothing you can do, then just sit back and watch the drama unfold
at Owen Group. You'll reap the rewards soon enough."

Chairman of Bayzee Group?"
Jayden glanced at him. "What are you getting at?"
"Your grandpa probably never expected the pawn he cast aside long ago to become the real player in this game. If he knew, would he regret his decision?"
"That's irrelevant. What matters is that I'll emerge as the victor in the end."
After saying this, Jayden suddenly remembered he hadn't checked his phone in hours. Thinking of Elyse, he retrieved his phone from his pocket.
Clive thought there was something urgent. "Why the frown? Did Bayzee Group's stock price take ahit2" he asked.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
"Nah. Elyse just said she misses me," Jayden replied calmly
"Please spare me the PDA!" Clive nearly choked on his whisky. "Why would you frown when your wife says she misses you? You're supposed to smile," he said, sounding slightly exasperated. Jayden replied, "She must be in a bad mood."
After a brief silence, Clive asked, "So?"
"I need to check on her." Jayden put away his phone and instructed the driver to head to the orchestra's studio.
Seeing Jayden's serious expression, Clive asked, "Do you love your wife that much?"
