BookToReadChapter 536:
The members of the Owen clan glanced around and noticed Jayden was nowhere to be found. A curious member
asked, “Where is Jayden? Didn't he attend the dinner today?”
A man who disliked Jayden said with a from, “A cripple like him should not lead the Owen clan. His absence is for
the best.”
Those who admired Jayden bristled at the comment. “Don’t be so harsh. Jayden is still one of us. At least, he
wouldn't mock his own relatives as you do.”
Corrie, standing aside, rolled her eyes at their conversation. He was really something, she must admit. He had
been feigning a limp for a year, successfully deceiving all his relatives.

She felt fortunate for accidentally discovering Jayden’s secret, which had allowed her to bask in Enzo’s reflected
glory.

Thinking of this, she was in high spirits.
Enzo, seated and observing their conversation, remained silent as they argued about Jayden.
He had to acknowledge Jayden’s evident brilliance. However, he knew he had to put an end to such conflicts.
With a strike of his cane against the floor, Enzo hushed the crowd. Every gaze turned toward him, awaiting his
speech.
In a tone that demanded authority, Enzo spoke to the gathering, “I recognize Jayden is a polarizing presence.
From this moment onward, all arguments concerning him are resolved.”
The crowd exchanged looks, pondering Enzo’s implication. Did he imply that Jayden would becthe next
leader of the Owen clan?
After a momentary pause, Enzo proceeded, “Henceforth, Jayden will no longer be part of our Owen clan. We
sever all connections with him. His destiny outside the family is his alone to face.”
“What? Are you serious?”
“Sever all connections? Why such an extrmeasure? Just because Jayden is disabled?”
“No wonder Jayden didn’t attend. He is no longer part of us, but if he’s disowned, who will lead us after Enzo?
Who else among the younger generation can assthe role?”
Gasps and whispers spread throughout the room.
Brook, shocked by the revelation, struggled to understand why Jayden had been expelled.
“Silence!” Enzo commanded, his eyes fixed on Corrie in the corner. He summoned her, and she eagerly
advanced, only to be blocked by Brook.
Knowing Enzo’s trust in her, Corrie could barely contain her excitement. Confronting Brook, she asked, “What's
your motive? Step aside!”
Brook, originally defensive, observed Corrie’s urgency and inquired, “Why did my grandpa call your name? Are
you part of this?”

“This doesn’t concern you. Get out of my way!” Corrie shoved past Brook, advancing toward Enzo.
Enzo directed her, “You will now explain to everyone why Jayden was expelled.”
“It's my privilege,” Corrie responded, pivoting towards the assembly with an arrogant demeanor. “Jayden
deceived us entirely. His car accident a year ago? A ruse. He feigned incapacity.”
“What? He feigned incapacity? But why?”
“He's been feigning for a year? How do you know?”
“Is his pretense of disability the reason for Enzo’s desire to disown him?”
Corrie savored the focus, theatrically halting before disclosing, “It’s not solely the deceit, but the concealed
truths he holds.” She persisted, her voice resounding, “He didn’t want to be part of the Owen Group. Instead, he
founded Bayzee Group, draining the Owen Group's resources and alliances, sabotaging your benefits.”
A tense quiet engulfed the crowd as they digested this disclosure.
Enzo concurred with a nod, “I extended him opportunities, engaged in numerous discussions, longing for his
return to the Owen Group, but it was futile.”
