?<strong>Chapter 922:</strong>


    “Sweetie, have you been waiting long for me?” Corrie’s overly sweet voice called out as she waved to Brook. She promptly passed her luggage to the bodyguard behind him and then affectionately clung to Brook’s arm, whining, “Darling, I’ve missed you so much. Did you miss me while you were abroad?”


    Brook pulled his arm away, a flicker of annoyance in his eyes as he scoffed. “My grandpa isn’t here. There’s no need to y the perfect girlfriend. It’s quite repulsive.”


    Dropping her facade, Corrie folded her arms and gave Brook a nk look. “What’s gotten into you? Your grandpa asked you to help the Hudsons with their n, and thetter ended up dead. Is that your idea of help?”


    Brookpletely disregarded Corrie’s scorn, chuckling dismissively. “If you think you can manage better, go ahead and take on the next task yourself. I’m taking a break.”


    Corrie retorted, “Fine! I’ll handle it. You’re so useless. You can’t evenplete a simple job.” It was merely a kidnapping of Elyse. Corrie was confident it wasn’t beyond her abilities.


    She had sessfully carried out several tasks for Enzo, receiving hismendation and reaping substantial rewards. Her aspirations had swelled to the point where she now even looked down on Jayden. Even though Jayden seemed an insurmountable obstacle to others, she was convinced she could surpass him.


    Brook saw right through Corrie’s overconfidence and greed, which Enzo had cultivated over the days. “I’m going back to the hotel to rest. Stay here if you like.” Brook was indifferent to her ns.


    Corrie had her own agenda, wary that Brook might usurp her achievements, yet she apanied him back to the hotel nheless.


    That evening, Jayden arrived home and presented Elyse with the agreed-upon food and her phone. Elyse epted them cheerfully, but her expression turned to puzzlement when she saw her phone. “You met with Brook? Did he really give back the phone that easily?”


    Jayden nonchntly confirmed with a nod and said, “It’s just a phone. There was no reason for him to withhold it.” Then, recalling a crucial issue, Jayden cautioned her, “Stay indoors for a bit. Corrie has just arrived, and it’s likely you’re her target unless something unexpectedes up.”


    It had been a long time since Elyse had heard that name. She paused and asked in bewilderment, “Why is she targeting me? I haven’t done anything to her.”


    Jaydenforted Elyse with a pat on the shoulder and exined, “You’re my wife. Who else would they target?” Upon hearing this, Elyse’s face fell immediately. “Why are they after you again?”


    “They’ve always been after me. But I’m still here, undefeated,” Jayden said with a confident smirk.
