Chapter 582:

After hanging up the phone, Brook slept for another two hours before his assistant called him to deal with some work matters.

When Brook got up, he listened to the assistant’s report and then casually inquired, “Has there been any gossip circulating in the company?”

The assistant seemed taken aback but nodded. “Yes, it’s about Jayden Owen and our chairman.”

Brook again asked casually, “What have they been saying about?”

“They’re saying our chairman is cold-blooded and unsympathetic, and he nearly killed Jayden,” the assistant replied cautiously. “Do you want me to find out who started the rumor?”

Brook shook his head dismissively, “No need to intervene. Let it spread.”

The assistant nodded, then ventured curiously, “Sir, did the chairman really almost kill Jayden? Wasn’t he quite fond of Jayden before?”

Without looking up, Brook cautioned his assistant, “Don’t delve too deeply. I’m sure you don’t want to lose your job.”

The assistant fell silent awkwardly.

“Alright, you can go ahead and attend to your other duties,” Brook said, signaling the end of their conversation.
