Chapter 922:
“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 misswhile 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 play the perfect girlfriend. It's quite repulsive.”
Dropping her facade, Corrie folded her arms and gave Brook a blank look. “What's gotten into you? Your grandpa

Brook completely 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 even complete a simple job.” It was merely a
kidnapping of Elyse. Corrie was confident it wasn’t beyond her abilities.
She had successfully carried out several tasks for Enzo, receiving his commendation 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 plans.
Corrie had her own agenda, wary that Brook might usurp her achievements, yet she accompanied him back to
the hotel nonetheless.
That evening, Jayden arrived hand presented Elyse with the agreed-upon food and her phone. Elyse
accepted them cheerfully, but her expression turned to puzzlement when she saw her phone. “You met with

Jayden nonchalantly 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 unexpected comes up.”
It had been a long tsince Elyse had heard that name. She paused and asked in bewilderment, “Why is she
targeting me? | haven’t done anything to her.”
Jayden comforted Elyse with a pat on the shoulder and explained, “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.
