Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 242 Demotion

With his eyes widening in surprise, Brook blurted out, "Why're you back? Weren't you studying Orn.

"I've graduated. I just thought I should e home early and contribute to the pany. Debora

sighed, frustration evident on her face. "But as soon as I got back, I heard about your slip-up at work. Did I e back just to clean up after you? You're my big brother, can't you set a better example?"

With just a few words, Debora had brought Brook crashing down.

Brook was so nervous; he didn't even dare to look at Enzo. What if his grandpa was disappointed in him? Would he even have a leg to stand on when it came to taking over the Owen Group? Jayden didn't say anything. He had known Debora would e back ahead of time.

Ambitious as she was, she didn't hide her hunger for power at all. Given the chance, she'd cut down her enemies without a second thought.

And now, her biggest adversary was Brook, and there was no way she'd let this opportunity slip through her fingers.

Refusing to be outdone, Brook gritted his teeth and said, "The chairman of the Bayzee Group is a mystery. I can't figure him out, but the loss is on me. I'll do everything I can to make up for it." Debora's smile faded. "It better be on you!"

Then she turned to Jayden.

Perhaps it was because she hadn't seen Jayden in so long that she looked at him more closely. She glanced at his legs and said, "Jayden, when I was studying abroad, I consulted some doctors. They said there might be a chance for you to stand again, but they need to examine you to be sure."

Then, tentatively, she added, "What do you think? If you're up for it, I can arrange everything." Jayden patted his leg and sighed, "Truth be told, I've seen my fair share of foreign doctors. They've all sung the same tune-I'm stuck in

Debora nodded, holding her tongue.
