Chapter 540:

Jayden was behind the wheel on the dark night, the threat of rain looming overhead. He pressed the accelerator, making his way toward Corrie’s location.

Upon receiving her location, a brief flicker of surprise had crossed his face, quickly replaced by realization. Today was the day of his grandpa’s gathering.

Jayden instantly grasped that Corrie had seized the opportunity to betray him and curry favor with Enzo.

The sudden death of the bodyguard monitoring Corrie solidified his suspicions: his grandpa had to be behind it.

Jayden’s expression chilled as he pondered Corrie’s deeper motives. He had always known she was ambitious, a woman striving to rise at every opportunity, but her audacity to align with his grandpa shocked him. Enzo was far from benevolent.
