Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 241 Debora

That night, Elyse struggled to find sleep. She tossed and turned before finally succumbing to exhaustion.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

When morning came, Elyse rose from her bed with a heavy heart, her eyes still clouded with sadness.

Soon after, she was greeted by a sight that puzzled her. Nearly twenty maids stood in formation, flanking her on either side.

After a brief moment of confusion, Elyse asked, "What's going on?"

"Mrs. Owen, your birthday party is scheduled for today. We are here to assist you in preparing,"

the lead maid announced, motioning for the others to gather around Elyse.

It suddenly dawned on Elyse that Jayden had promised her a birthday celebration to make it up to her.

However, their argument from the previous night had dampened her enthusiasm for such festivities.

"I think we should hold off on the preparations. I need to have a word with Jayden," she said.

The lead maid nodded understandingly. "He is currently out. I'll notify you as soon as he returns. Please take a bath first."

With a clenched jaw, Elyse wondered where Jayden had gone.

Meanwhile, Jayden had left home early, heading straight to Owen Group's headquarters. Inside the chairman's office, Enzo stood by the French gazing out at the city skyline.

Brook and Jayden were behind Enzo, enveloped in a heavy silence that no one dared to break.

After what felt like an eternity, Enzo finally spoke, his voice heavy with disappointment. "Bayzee Group has refused to sign the contract with us. Why was I not made aware of this sooner?" Jayden bowed his head, his silence hanging heavily in the tense air. Beads of cold sweat trickled down Brook's forehead, a testament to his nerves.

Feeling Enzo's piercing gaze upon him, Brook lowered his head even further.

"Bayzee Group has decided to collaborate with another pany whose parcel of land has seen an unexpected surge in value. Regrettably, the land we acquired from the Foster family has depreciated even before our investment."

Enzo turned his gaze to Jayden and asked, "What do you think we should do, Jayden?"

Without a word, Jayden handed over a meticulously prepared file to Enzo. "I have thoroughly reviewed the land purchase contract. Apart from this particular land, the terms heavily favor the Foster family,

leaving us little room for maneuver. It's a tough situation to reverse."

Enzo asked, "Can't you devise a solution to salvage this situation?"

"I have a proposition. Unless Bayzee Group severs ties with the Ellis family, our pany stands to incur substantial losses," Jayden stated bluntly.

At the mention of potential losses, Brook dared not lift his gaze.

When he assumed control of the partnership, he vowed to protect the pany from any financial

losses.

Yet, reality had veered far from his expectations.

With clenched teeth, Brook silently urged himself to remain posed. He had to safeguard his

position within the pany.

Supporting himself on a crutch, Enzo approached Jayden with a penetrating stare. "In the past, you never allowed the Owen Group to suffer financial setbacks. What's going on now?" Unfazed by Enzo's scrutiny, Jayden responded calmly. "As you rightly noted, that was in the past. When I was in charge, I ensured the pany never found itself in such dire straits. But now, I'm no longer the management."

Jayden's words sent a shiver down Brook's spine. He instinctively clenched his fists.

Jayden met Enzo's gaze calmly, absorbing the scrutiny without flinching

Enzo's demeanor softened, a slight chuckle escaping his lips. "Given Brook's mistake, what do you suggest I do?" he asked.

Jayden didn't immediately respond. His gaze drifted momentarily to Brook, who met his eyes with a hint of apprehension.

"According to the pany's protocol, I lack the authority to determine Brook's punishment."

Jayden's response was impeccably delivered.

Brook let out a breath he hadn't realized he had been holding. Still, his heart raced as he anticipated the senior executive meeting later, where his fate would be decided.

Brook acknowledged his error had resulted in significant losses. While not catastrophic, it

tarnished his reputation internally.

over the support of the employees hinged on his flawless performance going forward.

After a brief pause, Enzo directed his attention to Brook. "Put a hold on any support for the Foster

family for now. Their recent transactions have yielded negligible returns for us while

disproportionately benefiting them."

Brook gave a solemn nod. "Understood, Grandpa."

"Grandpa, I'm home." a

Awoman's voice rang out, drawing everyone's attention.

Dressed in sleek black sportswear, Debora Owen, Brook's sister, removed her cap and

approached Enzo with a warm smile.

"I missed you so much, Grandpa..."

Adopting a cute demeanor, Debora approached Enzo.

Upon seeing her, Enzo's expression softened, a rare smile gracing his lips. He asked, "Have you just landed?"

"Yep. I was planning to head home for a change of clothes, but upon hearing about the pany situation, I decided to e straight from the airport."

Jokingly admonishing Brook, Debora sai

What's the deal, Brook? How could you mess up like

this? Are you ready to face the repercussions?"
