Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband

Chapter 1769:

Corrie held her stare for a long moment—then, to everyone’s surprise, she laughed. “Since you’ve come all this way, why not stay? I could always use more… guests.”

Elyse’s smirk was razor-sharp. “Oh? Kidnapping me too? Be my guest.”

She took a step back. “Though, I hope you have enough room—you might need to kidnap a few more people.”

As if on cue, the doors of two cars behind her swung open. Brook and Jayden stepped out.

Corrie’s confidence shattered like glass. She burst out, her voice nearly a shriek, “How did you even find this place?! This is my family’s territory!”

Camille smirked, tilting her head with unmistakable arrogance. “Shocked, aren’t you? This is all thanks to me. I told you not to mess with me—the price of crossing me is more than you can afford.” Positioned behind Brook and Jayden, she folded her arms, radiating satisfaction. Her eyes gleamed with triumph, and the sheer delight in her expression made it clear she was reveling in the moment.

Jennie, however, remained frozen in confusion. A tremor ran through her as she turned to Brook. “How… how did you know?”

Brook exhaled softly, stepping forward before wrapping her in a reassuring embrace. “Because I knew you had no choice,” he murmured. “You don’t have to be afraid anymore.”

Jennie stiffened at his warmth, her chest tightening as emotion swelled within her. A sharp sting prickled her nose, and her vision blurred with unshed tears. “But… how did you know?”

Brook exchanged a glance with Jayden before explaining, “For starters, Jayden knows Corrie well. He said she’s ruthless—she never plays fair and always resorts to underhanded tactics. Since you were in her grasp, it wasn’t hard to guess she’d use you.”

He paused, studying her face with a small smile. “And second… you’re a terrible liar, you know that?”

Jennie blinked, utterly lost.

Brook gestured toward the elegant ruby brooch fastened to her chest. “That brooch of yours? It’s not just jewelry—it’s a listening device. I heard every word between you and Corrie.”

Realization dawned on Jennie’s face, the weight of it crashing over her. “So… you knew all along?”

Brook nodded. “That’s right. I tried dropping hints, hoping you would confide in me, but you were too afraid. I didn’t want to push you.”

Jennie’s gaze fell to the floor, her voice thick with regret. “Corrie has my best friend under her control. I couldn’t risk her life.”

Brook slid his hands into hers. “I know. That’s why we didn’t come alone today. We’ll find your friend. You’re not alone.”noveldrama

Brook directed his bodyguards with practiced efficiency, issuing precise orders over the radio as the search began.

Watching him coordinate the operation, Corrie completely unraveled. Her body trembled as she stammered, “So the woman you love isn’t Camille but Jennie? Was all of this just an elaborate lie?”
