Chapter 551:

Jayden set his empty glass on the table, his eyes glinting with derision and scorn. He didn’t buy Brook’s words. “So, why did you summon us here today? What’s your game?” Jayden asked.

Brook arched an eyebrow, feigning innocence as he replied, “Can’t I simply invite you to dinner?”

Jayden sneered. “Do you really expect me to buy that?”

Brook shrugged, maintaining his air of nonchalance. “I know you don’t trust me, and I’m not about to ask you to forget the past. But tonight, all I wanted was to share a meal.”

Elyse, sensing the growing tension, interjected to keep the peace, effectively stopping the confrontation in its tracks. Despite her efforts, Jayden barely touched his food before he made an early exit with Elyse.

Not long after they left, Corrie burst in, her face twisted with malice, her tone sharp as she demanded, “Didn’t you slip something into Elyse’s drink? Have you forgotten your grandpa’s orders? Do I need to spell it out for you?”

Brook, unruffled by her accusation, continued eating calmly. “Who’s the fool here, you or me? Drugging Elyse’s drink to cause a miscarriage is something that can be traced back to me. I’m not about to let you make me the fall guy!”
