?<strong>Chapter 464:</strong>


    Corrie had been visiting several hospitals over the past few days. She knew Enzo went for regr checkups monthly, but she didn’t know which hospital he used, so she had been searching everywhere. She was also aware that Jayden had someone watching her, making it crucial to keep her activities secret.


    One day, her persistence paid off. She spotted Enzo entering a hospital for his checkup.


    “Mr. Owen, I’m Corrie Bates. I need to speak with you. Can you spare a few minutes?” She hurried over in her high heels, her voice pleading.


    Enzo looked at her, momentarily puzzled, but then he remembered who she was.


    His butler stepped forward protectively, ring at Corrie. “Who do you think you are? Get out and leave us alone.”


    Corrie, ncing around anxiously to ensure Jayden’s men weren’t watching, begged, “Mr. Owen, please. I just need a few minutes. It’s about Jayden. I’ll leave right after.”


    Jayden’s name caught Enzo’s interest, and a shadow passed over his eyes. He raised his hand to stop his butler. “Alright. Where do you want to talk?”


    Corrie pointed to a nearby doctor’s office. “Let’s talk in there.” She looked at him with anticipation.


    Enzo nodded. Pressing on his walking stick, he headed into the office, his butler close behind.


    Corrie, ensuring she wasn’t seen, quickly followed and shut the door behind them.


    The office was empty. Enzo found a seat and asked in an aged voice, “What do you want to tell me?”


    Corrie took a deep breath to steady herself. “It’s about Jayden. You’ve all been deceived by him. He’s lied to everyone.”


    Enzo thought about Jayden but couldn’t recall anything suspicious. “What has he lied about?”


    “He is not actually crippled. He’s been pretending,” Corrie said excitedly.


    She pounded the desk for emphasis. “I found out his secret by ident. Fearing I’d expose it, he had someone watch my parents. If I dare to reveal it, they’ll be killed. Mr. Owen, please help me,” she pleaded. “I’ve always been loyal. Please, help me.”


    “Loyal?” Enzo didn’t ask more about Jayden’s secret. Instead, he repeated the word as if he had heard something ridiculous. “Who are you loyal to?” he asked.


    Corrie was taken aback. Awkwardly, she answered, “I’m loyal to the Owen family. My family relies on yours for survival. Besides, I’ll marry Brook. I will always be loyal to the Owen family.”


    Enzo nodded, seemingly satisfied with her answer. “I guarantee your parents’ safety.”


    Corrie breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously, “Mr. Owen, what do you n to do about Jayden? He’s hurt everyone with his deception.”


    Enzo stood up, adding, “You don’t need to concern yourself with that. By the way, you are Brook’s girl, right? Finally, he’s done something right.”


    Corrie was delighted by his remarks. She finally felt free from Jayden’s threat and had found a powerful ally. She believed her parents would be overjoyed with the news.


    Enzo left the hospital and settled into his car. His butler immediately closed the door and said, “Mr. Owen, Jayden is outrageous. How bold of him to pretend to be a cripple! He has deceived us for more than a year.”


    Closing his eyes, Enzo exhaled. “I don’t understand why he did it. However, he has broken many of our family’s rules.”


    The butler gritted his teeth. “He has always been unruly. You wanted to make him the sole heir, but he even rejected your offer.”


    Enzo responded calmly, “He’s indeed unruly, but he’s the most talented and brilliant.”


    The butler couldn’t argue. It was true.


    “What a pity! I had hoped he would change his mind. However, he has disappointed me again.” Enzo slowly opened his eyes, a murderous look in them. “I will not show mercy this time.”
