NovelXXXChapter 575:
When Debora ceased scolding Brook, she clutched her chest, a gasp slipping from her lips. She fixed her gaze on
him, awaiting his reply.
Nevertheless, Brook remained silent. Instead, he retrieved a cigarette from his pocket, placed it in his mouth,
and lit it, disregarding the prominent “No Smoking” sign nearby. He then took a deep drag.
“Answer me. Are you deaf or mute?” Debora’s volrose again as she desperately waited for his
acknowledgment.
“I'm talking to you! Say something!” Her words appeared to fall on deaf ears as Brook continued to disregard
her, his silence reverberating in the cold, sterile hospital corridor.
Debora couldn’t control her annoyance any longer. She leaped forward, grabbed the cigarette from Brook's
mouth, and crushed it with her foot.
Finally, Brook's expressionless facade cracked. There was an undercurrent of irritation in his voice as he said,
“Shouldn’t you be at work? Why are you here?”

“Why on earth did you agree to execute such an evil thing?” Debora pressed.
“Even though you're wildly ambitious, you can’t lose sight of your morals. Grandpa's intentions toward Jayden
are clear! He aims to eliminate Jayden and ensure Jayden’s bloodline doesn’t persist.
And you, you are merely being used as a puppet and an executioner!”
Brook sneered and retorted, “I'm not an idiot, Debora. Do you think | don’t know Grandpa's motives? Now, stop
meddling in this matter and get back to work.”

He paused, a chilling warning in his voice as he added, “Don’t poke your nose in any discussions about Jayden at
the company. Don’t pick a side. Pretend as if you're clueless.”
Debora scoffed, her voice thick with sarcasm as she replied, “Why are you doing this, Brook? For my good? Are
you trying to pave the way for me? Don’t you dare tellwhat to do!” She glared at him defiantly.
“Or are you implying that if | don’t fall in line with Enzo’s wishes, you'll silenceas well?”
“Yes!” Brook snapped. He was at the end of his patience, “You've figured it all out.
So why don’t you fuck off? Get out of here, or you'll end up joining Jayden in the operating room!”
Brook's bottled emotions burst through their dam, erupting toward Debora. Debora was nonplussed for a
moment before her eyes flashed with disgust. “You're just Grandpa's puppet, aren't you? You're so obedient,
instantly eliminating anyone he points a finger at. The word ‘loyalty’ should be tattooed on your forehead.”
She shot a brief glance in the direction of the operating room, a flicker of concern in her eyes, but she quickly
reined in her emotions and strode away.
Once Debora left, Brook sank wearily into a chair. He closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
An hour later, Jayden’s surgery was completed. He had barely escaped the jaws of death and was transferred to
a hospital ward. Brook approached Jayden’s bedside and studied his pale appearance, the expression in his eyes
unfathomable.
Corrie had caught wind of the situation. She sashayed into the room, her heels clacking on the floor, and her hips
swaying. Shooting a dismissive glance at the unconscious Jayden, she asked venomously, “Why did you let
Jayden live instead of ending his life?”
She smirked as she added, “Unlike you, | completed my task perfectly. Elyse’s child is gone.”

“I wonder how | will be rewarded for successfully carrying out my mission, and how you will be eventually
punished.” Corrie purposely goaded Brook, her voice dripping with malicious pride.
Brook met Corrie’s evil gaze coldly. He responded in a measured tone, “How dare you have the nerve to gloat
about killing an innocent baby? How can any person be as heartlessly cruel as you?”
Corrie’s cackle echoed through the room, no trace of fear audible. “Are you seriously accusingof being
heartless? What does that make you? You didn’t hesitate before betraying your cousin, did you? Enzo ordered
you to obstruct Jayden’s staff and friends, and you instantly complied.
You're the most cruel one of the lot. Jayden was almost thrashed to death at the hands of your own men.”
Corrie continued her vitriolic boasting, “That reminds me, Jayden’s knife wound was my handiwork. | arranged
for him to be stabbed. But when | saw him strolling around, appearing unscathed, | assumed the wound was
superficial. Turns out, he was enduring the pain all along.”
Brook's temper flared when he heard Corrie gloating. He inhaled deeply and shoved her out of the room, yelling,
“Enough! Get out of my sight! | never want to see you. Get lost!”
Corrie shot back nastily, “Have you gone crazy? Cwith me. We need to meet Enzo together. Your failure
doesn’t negate my success. We agreed to eliminate different targets, and | successfully completed my task.”
