Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband

Chapter 1459:noveldrama

“The shareholders’ meeting is about to start,” Jayden said coldly. “We’re going to outline the company’s future plans. Casper, you’re neither part of the Owen Group’s staff nor a shareholder. You have no place here.”

Casper held Jayden’s stare, a mysterious smile curling at his lips. Then, silently, he turned and walked away.

Three hours later, every device belonging to an Owen Group employee lit up with an alert. The notification heralded a substantial capital infusion that had rescued the company from collapse, introducing a new majority shareholder.

“Jayden’s taken charge!”

“Thank heavens! Jayden’s back! We’re saved! Our jobs are secure!”

“They should have never replaced him. Under his leadership, the company succeeded. Ever since he stepped down, it’s been one problem after another.”

A tide of relief and celebration swept through the staff, while the rest of the Owen family was far from pleased.

Greg was the first to react, storming into the chairman’s office. “Jayden, you’re no longer part of this family! What are you doing here? Leave!”

Inside the office, Brook scowled at Greg’s outburst. “Who let you in? Leave. You have no authority here.”

“Brook, how could you allow this?” Greg challenged, his voice filled with disbelief. “You’re the CEO! How did you let Jayden reclaim not just a position but the chairmanship? You have utterly failed to protect the company!”

Jayden interrupted with a raised hand before Brook could reply, a mischievous sparkle in his eyes. “Apart from Greg,” he teased, his tone edged with provocation. “Does anyone else oppose my return as chairman? Let’s bring them in now.”

“Alright! I’ll gather everyone, and we’ll take care of you, you ungrateful little brat!”

Greg’s initial reluctance turned into resolve, fueled by the opportunity to confront Jayden in front of the clan elders. Notably, Jayden and Brook typically wielded more clout among their peers, whereas Greg had less influence—less than even Debora.

Soon, the office buzzed with the arrival of the Owen clan’s members, summoned by Greg.

Jayden scanned the room, noticing the missing faces. Those absent had their roles within the company secured, regardless.

With a practiced yet hollow smile, Jayden said, “Pleasant to see everyone.”

The clan members had already caught wind of the situation and were fully aware that Jayden had single-handedly saved Owen Group from the edge of disaster.

Yet, the company’s salvation didn’t necessarily mean they welcomed his ascent to chairman.

There were shared looks of discomfort before an elder man voiced his concerns. “Jayden, while we appreciate your intervention during the crisis, your assumption of the chairmanship at such a young age is quite unconventional, wouldn’t you agree?”

Jayden recognized their tactic: exploit his capabilities and then discard him.

After Enzo’s death, Owen Group had been left without direction, spiraling into chaos and on the verge of collapse. No one was willing to step up and take charge, unwilling to bear the heavy responsibility.

Brook had been used as their sacrificial lamb, pushed into the CEO role to bear the brunt of the inevitable fallout. Failure would be blamed on him; success would lead to a superficial acknowledgment before they stripped away his influence.
