Chapter 366
Chasel’s fox–like eyes, red and moist, stared back at him in disbelief.
What the hell was he talking about?!
If it weren’t for his handsome looks, Chasel would have sworn he was a monster.
“You’re one of them, aren’t you? Are you kidnappers?!” Chasel questioned, his voice trembling
“Mr. Bright, welcome to Elmsworth”
Cassius squinted his eyes, extending his hand in a gentlemanly manner, “Allow me to introduce myself.
I am Cassius Ashbourne, the CEO of the K Group It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
“K Group?” Chasel got stunned immediately, “Wait, my aunt, are you?”
“Exactly as you think ”
Clenching his fingers, Cassius chuckled awkwardly. Let’s shake hands once Elvis unties you.”
“Cassius”
Elvis returned in a huff, muttering. That damn restroom is way too far, almost wet my pants. What’s the
point of such a big house? Cassius furrowed, amused yet exasperated.
No matter how grand the Ashbourne family mansion was, for Elvis, it was always a cage. Both he and
Evadne were free spirits, hating constraints and yearning for ultimate freedom.
Thinking of this, Cassius couldn’t help but feel distressed for Evadne. Her three years of marriage with
Thaddeus were undoubtedly like serving a prison
sentence.
Chasel’s face contorted in anger at the sight of Elvis.
Thankfully, he was good–looking. Otherwise, he might have been scary
Elvis raised an eyebrow, his arm resting casually against the car door, a smug smile on his face,
“Remember what I said, boy. Me touching you and allowing you to sit on my lap aren’t for free. It all
come at a price.”
Eyes flickering, Cassius felt a jolt of surprise, trying to process Elvis’s words.
“Ught
Chasel felt disgusted, “You’re shameless! Seducing me by your charm, how pathetic
Elvis grimaced, “You think I enjoy it? I’m straight, and I’ve made a huge sacrifice for you. You’ve
traumatized me, you horrifying creature.”
Chasel’s handsome face turned crimson with rage. “I’m not a boy I’m a man. You’re the one who still
haven’t reach puberty!”
Elvis cocked an eyebrow, “What?”
“You’re just impotent!” Chasel’s fox–like eyes drifted down Elvis’s body.
Elvis was about to charge at Chasel, but Cassius held him back, “Elvis, Mr. Bright is Suri’s relative and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEvadne’s guest. Behave.”
“Damn it. If it weren’t for Evadne, I’d make him pay!” Elvis gnashing his teeth,
With a wry smile, Cassius shook his head, finally understanding why Elvis had gagged Chase! during
the journey.
He stepped forward and untied Chasel’s hands and feet himself.
Chaser’s skin was incredibly fair, the friction from the rope had left bright red marks on his skin,
sparking an indescribable protective instinct in Cassius.
“Duch, it hurts.” Chasel rubbed his wrists, wincing in pain.
Elvis huffed disdainfully, “You’re such a drama queen, Gross”
Cassius glanced at Chasel’s swollen ankles blandly, “Can you stand?”
Chasel bit his lip, slowly rising to his feet.
His legs, tied for hours, had numbed. He could hardly stand.
The next moment, Chasel pitched forward, his slender hands clutching Cassius‘ broad shoulders, his
entire body falling into Cassius strong arms.
Cassius, quick to react, instinctively wrapped his arm around Chasel’s waist to prevent him from falling
Two grown men, their position was like a scene from a dramatic soap opera, leaving Elvis stunned.
“sorry” Chasels cheeks flushed
He was usually full of fury, but after being embraced by the man like that, his negative feelings
dissipated.
“Don’t say that We’re the one that should apologize”
Without hesitation, Cassius scooped Chasel over
Chasel, 7
His heart was pounding
1695 M –
Although he admitted that he had been reveling in prurience, and every time he met some hot guys,
he’d be unable to control himself, not to mention after getting drunk Otherwise, he’d never fall into
Elvis’s trap
But this time, his feelings towards Cassius were different.
Without thinking, Chasel lifted his arms, wrapping them around Cassius‘ neck.
“What the hell? What’s going on here?”
Just then, Evadne, Arnold, and Jason arrived.
Seeing the scene before them, they were flabbergasted.
Is that a man or a woman in President Ashbourne’s arms?” Jason was confused.
Arnold exclaimed excitedly. “Wow! Could it be our future sister–in–law?n
Astonished, Evadne looked at them, speechless, “Take a closer look, that’s clearly a man!”
Arnold and Jason gaped, “A man?!”
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed a man, albeit a slender one.
“Oh, what a letdown. I thought at least one of the Ashbourne men was finally going to settle down.”
Arnold felt disappointed, smacking his lips, “Why is he so eager to hold another man?”
“Mr. Bright, you must be tired from the journey”
Evadne approached them with a polite smile, “I apologize for any inconvenience my brother may have
caused.”
“Are you the Evadne my aunt always talks about?” Chasel asked arrogantly, nestled in Cassius‘ arms
like a little princess.
“Yes, I am Evadne”
Evadne kept her cool, her eyes sparkling, “Mr. Bright, you must be famished and exhausted from the
journey. How about some dinner and a hot bath before we chat?”
“Ms. Ashbourne, I warn you, this is kidnapping. I can sue you” Chasel gritted his teeth, filled with fury
Tm aware. We have indeed been less than hospitable this time, my apologies to you, Mr. Bright. To
make amends, why not have our very own President Ashbourne of the K Group join you for dinner
tonight?”
“If it’s not too much of a bother, we can also let him assist you with your bath and changing clothes,
Evadne offered, her radiant smile as innocent as could be.
Chase’s eyes glazed over for a moment, and he swallowed hard.
Everyone was astounded!
The Ashbourne family’s darling daughter was really willing to push out her own brother without batting
an eyelidi
In the living room.
Evadne was cozied up to Elvis, and he was hugging his sister. If they hadn’t been siblings, an outsider
might’ve mistaken them for a newlywed couple. “Elvis, you’ve really done a lot of work this time”
Evadne’s lips pouted sweetly
it was nothing, just brought someone back. Not a big deal”
Elvis caressed her hair, his eyes filled with affection and softness, “As long as you’re happy, I’d even kill
for you.”
Jason broke into a cold sweat, and Arnold barely held back a spurt of tea!
At that moment, Cassius descended the stairs
“He’s asleep.”
“He must be worn out. Let him rest?
Evadne sighed, “1 might’ve been too eager. I’m afraid if I push Chasel too much, he might refuse to
help. I can’t exactly hold a knife to his throat to force
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhuri”
“Evadne, don’t worry”
Cassius sat beside her, gently draping an arm over her shoulder. “You have us. We’re here to take care
of the things you can’t”
“That’s right, Evadne Arnold comforted, “You should let us do something for you. We’re starting to feel
useless!”
Evadne felt moved, her lips trembling slightly and her eyes welled in tears.
She remembered every kindness shown to her, even by her own brothers. She never took anything for
granted
“Hey let me tell you something interesting”
Elvis‘ eyes lit up, ‘Evadne, when i was abroad, I met a woman who looked just like you. I made a
mistake, and I couldn’t help but to tap her on the shoulder. She turned around and glared at me. Only
then did I realize it wasn’t you Damn, it was so awkward. But that woman actually glared at me. In my
thirty years, apart from you, Evadne, who else has dared to glare at me?”
“Wow, she can’t even glare at you now? You are something else”
Arnold teased him while sipping his tea. Besides, could you stop messing around? Evadne is the
epitome of beauty. Where else could you find a woman who resembles her? You sure can talk a big
game”
“Are you asking for another kick in the ass?” Elvis shot him a scowl
“Elvis, did that woman you met really look like me?” Evadne asked curiously.
“She did I usually have a good eye and rarely mistake people, but that time I even got it wrong You can
imagine how much you two look alike Confounded, Elvis stroked his chin, “Do you think it’s possible
that our dad has another kid out there? I should’ve asked her who her dad was.” Evadne and Arnold
were speechless.
“The world is big, and it’s not impossible to find two people who look alike. You’ve been reading too
many ghost stories, Elvis Cassius shook his head Suddenly, Evadne shuddered.
She was reminded of that snowy night in a park, when Thaddeus pulled her aside and desperately tried
to explain himself.
He said, he was innocent
He said, he followed her to the hotel because he was worried. He saw a woman who looked exactly
like her, entering the hotel with a stranger. That’s why he pursued them, and ended up being caught in
a scandalous situation.
Evadne’s heart started pounding harder
Could it be, Thaddeus was telling the truth?
Did he really see a woman who looked exactly like her?
But could there be such a coincidence?
And even if there was, why would Edith also happen to be at the hotel? And why did Thaddeus go to
her room?
