?<strong>Chapter 1467:</strong>
The assistant hesitated in the doorway, hoping Tess’s tirade would subside, but her anger seemed boundless, continuing without pause.
Jayden nced at his watch and calmlymanded, “Call security. Have her escorted out.”
Desperate to leave the tense situation, the assistant quickly followed the order.
“Are you expelling me from thepany?” Tess cried out, disbelief coloring her voice. “I’m your mother!”
“Before I became chairman here, you scarcely noticed me. Now that I wield some influence, you suddenly remember that I’m your son,” Jayden remarked, his tone icy with calm. “It’s almost amusing. You’ve truly mastered the skills of maniption and self-interest.”
Tess continued to scream, oblivious to Jayden. “I’m your mother!” She repeated the words over and over, as if hoping that mere repetition would break through Jayden’s indifference and provoke guilt.
But she was mistaken. Guilt no longer yed a part in Jayden’s emotions.
Enzo had made sure that guilt was a vulnerability too dangerous to harbor.
Jayden no longer felt guilt toward any member of the Owen n.
As security escorted Tess out, her verbal assault didn’t cease, her bitter words echoing throughout the office.
Brook walked back into Jayden’s office upon hearing the news. Noticing Jayden packing hisptop, Brook inquired, “Are you leaving?”
With a calm demeanor, Jayden responded, “All issues at thepany are resolved, so it’s time for me to head home.”

“But what about the future? There are no pressing issues, but your leadership is still needed for our strategic goals,” Brook pressed.
“If you’re uncertain about what to do next, just refer to the n I left you,” Jayden advised. “And don’t worry about the freeloaders. There aren’t any left in thepany.”
After a brief silence, Brook questioned, “Do you truly intend to leave both Owen Group and the n?”
Standing, Jayden answered serenely, “As it’s evident, I no longer feel tied to Owen Group or our n. My heart belongs to Cambape now.”
Surprised, Brook responded, “Cambape? Are you talking about Elyse?”
Jayden confirmed with a nod, gazing out the window. “Enzo always said money was the world’s most crucial asset because it solves most problems. I wholeheartedly agreed.”
Jayden continued, “However, since meeting Elyse, I’ve realized what truly matters in my life, and there are things that can’t be bought with money.”
Brook teased, “Grandpa would argue that you just haven’t spent enough money. He believed you should keep at it until you win their heart.”
“That’s exactly what he would have said,” Jayden agreed with a soft chuckle, then sighed. “But Elyse isn’t swayed by my wealth. It’s love that truly reaches her, a feeling I’ve never really known.”
“So, do you know how to love someone now?” Brook asked.
“I might be beginning to grasp it somewhat,” Jayden mused, stroking his chin. “Love has never been part of my experience. It’s something I must discover on my own.”
Brook stayed quiet, at a loss for words. In the rigid structure of the Owen n, love was even rarer. Jayden had neither seen love nor experienced it personally.
