Chapter 1351:
Seth faltered, stunned by his daughter's uncharacteristic outburst. His anger sputtered, and though his scowl!
remained, he didn’t press further.
After much coaxing and whispered reassurances, Debora managed to usher her father out of the office, his fury
simmering but contained. She turned back to Jayden, cheeks flushed with embarrassment. “I'm so sorry. This is
all my fault.”
Jayden crossed his arms. “So | see. No wonder you were so reluctant for your parents to meet me. You knew
they’d never ctofor help.”

Debora’s shoulders slumped, as if the weight of the world had just doubled. Her voice cout weary, tinged
with defeat. “You're right. They wouldn't. But | know you're the only one who can save Owen Group.”
Her chest tightened as tears of frustration pricked at her eyes. She drew in a shaky breath. “Jayden, I'm not like
you. | can’t just walk away and start over. Owen Group is everything to me. If it collapses... Ill be nothing. Call
Jayden’s lips curled into a faint, humorless smile. “Well, at least you're honest.”
Debora bit back the retort burning on her tongue. What else was there to say? She had laid herself bare, and his
response had been cold.
Without warning, Jayden reached out and gave her shoulder a light pat. “Keep up the good work,” he said,
turning on his heel.
For a moment, Debora couldn't move. She watched him go, her mind struggling to process what had just
happened.
His casual dismissal hit her like a punch to the gut. Was that it? Was Jayden really going to ignore the decline of
Owen Group?
When Seth and Greg finally returned to the office, Jayden was already gone.
Greg strode in, practically bouncing with energy. “So,” he asked eagerly, “did Jayden agree to help?”
Seth scoffed, his voice dripping with scorn. “That traitor. If he doesn’t step in to save the company, he’s
heartless. He doesn’t deserve the nOwen!”

Debora clenched her fists, the endless accusations scraping against her mind like nails. She'd endured this
blgfor days now—everyone pointing fingers at Jayden, demanding he shoulder the burden they
couldn't carry. But why should he? He'd left the family behind and cut ties with them. What right did they have to
demand his help?
“Enough!” she snapped, clutching her head. “Just stop it! You're not helping! If you can’t do anything useful, then
at least stop making things worse!”
In truth, she was done with them all. If she were Jayden, she wouldn't have helped either.
