Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 169:

“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’ll 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 muttered to himself.

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.
