StarNovelChapter 1463:
Once the door clicked shut, Jayden leaned back in his chair, his fingers already typing away as he searched for
tickets back to Watscar. He had no reason to linger in Cambape anymore—running the company from afar suited
him just fine.
Jayden was reviewing tickets when his assistant approached quietly, informing him, “Mr. Owen, your mother is
here at the company, causing a disturbance in the lounge. She insists on seeing you.”
Raising an eyebrow, Jayden pondered Tess’s sudden arrival and decided not to rush to meet her. He remained
seated, silent in contemplation.
His assistant, puzzled by Jayden’s lack of reaction, inquired, “When would you like to meet her?”

“No rush. | have swork to handle. Could you ask Brook to joinfor a private chat?” Jayden responded.
The assistant nodded and went to fetch Brook.
Upon entering, Brook, amused and slightly smug, commented, “I heard your mother is making quite a scene in
the lounge. She's asserting her status as the chairman’s mother, demanding special treatment.”
“Let her do as she pleases. If she wants to embarrass herself, so be it,” Jayden dismissed the matter
nonchalantly.
He then drew a deck of cards from a drawer and tossed them onto the table in front of Brook. “It's been a while
since we played cards.”
Brook sighed, frustration evident. “I'm swamped with work. My desk is a mountain of files, and you want to play
cards?”
“What's the harm? You'll get through your work eventually,” Jayden assured him with a chuckle.

Taking a deep breath to manage his irritation, Brook sat down across from Jayden. “How do you want to play?”
“Any gis fine with me. The point is to kill time,” Jayden stated calmly as he began dealing the cards.
“Aren’t you going to see your mother?” Brook inquired after a moment.
Jayden answered nonchalantly, “Do you remember what she did when | severed ties with the Owen clan?”
Brook's expression remained neutral. “I do. Your parents disowned you, labeled you the black sheep, and vowed
never to acknowledge you.”
“So, what could she possibly want fromnow?” Jayden asked with a slight smile, implying a deeper
understanding of his parents’ motivations.

“They can be quite troublesome. Despite your estrangement, now that you're back in power, they won't just
leave you be,” Brook observed.
Unperturbed, Jayden replied, “That's fine. Let them make a fuss. It's never botheredbefore.”
The two continued their card gfor nearly an hour. Meanwhile, Tess grew increasingly agitated in the lounge.
Eventually, she couldn't contain her frustration and sharply asked Jayden’s assistant, “Where is Jayden? Why
hasn't he cto seeyet?”
The assistant responded respectfully, “He is currently in his office discussing work with Mr. Brook Owen. Please
be patient.”
Dissatisfied, Tess slammed the table. “I've been waiting for almost an hour. Are you lying to me?”
“I wouldn't dare deceive you,” the assistant replied, bowing his head.
