Chapter 415 A Deep Secret
Jayden paused momentarily, then said, "Isn''t Katherine''s daughter in Hovington?"
Emmanuel smirked upon hearing that. He finally had the chance to mock Jayden, saying, "I thought
you had a lot of spies. Why didn''t you know of this? You really need to hire better people."
Jayden frowned in response, and his face fell. "You talk too much, Mr. Gray. Now that things have
improved at yourpany, you obviously don''t want them to go backward, do you?"
He''s threatening me?! Emmanuel stopped smiling and shut up. "I have no idea how her daughter
came, but I didn''t see Joaquin. The girl was the only one who came. Katherine probably asked him to
take the girl to her because she wanted to see her daughter. I don''t know if this is alright, but I think this
is our chance."
Jayden leaned in his chair and crossed his legs. His eyes narrowed, and a cunning glint filled his eyes.
A momentter, he actually praised, "Not bad. That''s the information I needed to know." Katherine''s
daughter is here, eh? This is a chance I can exploit. I''ve been trying to find a way to take her, and now I
have an opportunity to do it. "My assistant will inject the final funds into yourpany. I do hope you
can be as efficient as you are today. I''ll be in contact when I need you. Run yourpany well, and
don''t try to pull anything stupid. Don''t even try toe up with any ideas. My men are watching you. If I
know you''re trying to betray me, I will take your wholepany down."

He hung up before Emmanuel could say anything, and Emmanuel was furious. After all these years,
everyone revered him, and they thought of him as a god; however, a man who was young enough to be
his son was threatening him. With that thought, he wanted to smash his phone. Then, he put his hands
on his hips and paced around the room. He was trying to find a way to break free from Jayden''s grasp,
but to his exasperation, he found no way out.
Nheless, Jayden had control over Gray Corporation''s cash flow. If he did anything to anger
Jayden, he would cut off all funds and demand an exorbitant rpense. After that, Emmanuel''s
company would be done for.
While he was in the middle of his frustration, someone knocked on the door. Since he was in no mood
to see anyone, he roared, "Piss off!"
However, the one standing outside walked in, ignoring his order.
Hearing the footsteps, Emmanuel got angrier. He picked up his ss and hurled it at the iing
person. "I said scram!"
The ss hit the door, fell to the ground, and smashed into pieces. On the other hand, the other person
didn''t even dodge. Emmanuel turned around and saw Corey looking at him coldly, the air around him
tense. "Here to interrogate your father?" He harrumphed and straightened his clothes out, then sat
behind his desk, losing all the kindness he had shown at Silver Gardens earlier.
Corey wasn''t surprised by his father''s sudden change of attitude. He stood firm and approached him.
Coolly, he said, "What are you trying to do to Kathy?"
Emmanuel frowned in response, and then he smiled. "Thought you''d ask me why I poisoned you. I
didn''t expect you to be concerned about her." He smirked at his son. "You hid your feelings well. She
probably doesn''t know you like her so much."
When he heard that, Corey froze momentarily, then said, "We''re old friends."
"You can''t lie to me, boy." Emmanuel didn''t believe him, and he waved him down. "You can hide all you
like, but I can see through you. That''s how blood works. You might hate your bloodline, but you''re one
of us, and you must ept that."
Corey took a deep breath and stopped the conversation. Coldly, he said, "I''vee to ask you what
you intend to do to her."
Emmanuel chortled and replied, "I can''t do anything to her. You''re making things up. I didn''t do anything
to her back at her ce."
"Then, who was it you were calling?"
The sudden exposure made Emmanuel''s face fall. He narrowed his eyes, his lips curling down. "Didn''t
take you for an eavesdropper."
Corey stared into his father''s eyes, trying to find an answer.
Emmanuel''s face fell when he met his son''s gaze. "This has nothing to do with you. Get back to your
room."
However, Corey refused to budge. There was tension in the air as he faced off against his father. "I
don''t care what you do with your life, but I won''t sit out if you try toy a finger on Kathy. Who''s your
benefactor, and whom were you calling? What are you two up to? Are you trying to hurt her?"
Emmanuel''s face fell in response, and he mmed his hand on the table, fury filling his eyes. Already
angered by Jayden''s attitude, he lost his temper at Corey''s persistent probing andshed out at him.
"You''re interrogating me? You''re a part of this family, boy, and she almost ruined us. How dare you help
her? Are you daft or dumb?"
