Chapter 727
Not even Jareth’s objections could stop Thaddeus from bringing the unconscious Marilla back to Havenbrook.
The incident had caused an uproar throughout the town.
Hamilton’s first thought wasn’t to blMarilla for the Abernathy family’s loss of face, but to immediately bring his granddaughter to his side, to cherish and protect her, shielding her from the wagging tongues of the outside world.
After suffering such a great shock, Marilla was once more given a sedative, and her peaceful, beautiful sleeping face was a balm to Hamilton’s tear-streaked eyes, as if none of it had ever happened.
“Manilla, it’s Grandpa’s fault; I failed to keep you safe,” Hamilton’s trembling hand caressed the girl’s pale, soft cheek, choking on his guilt.
“Don’t worry, Grandpa Hamilton.”
Evadne’s eyes were also red and moist, “Marilla has not just you to cherish her, but Thaddeus and I to dote on her. We’ll pursue this matter to the end.”
Her fingers clenched tightly, emitting a sharp crackling sound, “Anyone involved in this, anyone who hurt Marilla, I will make them pay dearly!”
Ms. Ashbourne was not one to break her word, and her words always cto pass
“It was people from the Fairhaven family’s doing.”
Although Hamilton was advanced in years and frail in health, his mind was as sharp as ever, his back teeth grinding in anger, “Even if they didn’t want Marilla marrying in the Fairhaven family, they had no right to mistreat her like this! They dare to bully my granddaughter, llana, you don’t need to lift a finger; I will handle this myself!*
Evadne’s heart clenched with worry for Marilla and for her grandfather’s rage possibly harming his health.
Mr. Murray knocked and hurried into the room, his face etched with concern.
“Mr. Abernathy, you have a call.”
Tm with my granddaughter; I’m not taking anyone’s call!”

Hamilton’s eyes were bloodshot as he snatched the phone and pressed it to his ear.
“After all this, what do you have to say?”
Barry’s tone was surprisingly casual, “Mr. Abernathy, such an event truly is heartbreaking; those who leaked the video are despicable beyond words!”
“You old fool, stop playing the victim in front of me!”
Hamilton was seething, eyes red, his hands on the arms of his wheelchair bulging with veins, “The video was leaked from inside the Fairhaven Group, and for all I know, it was you, old man, pulling the strings!”
“You!” Barry was so angry he could barely breathe, coughing a few times.
“I know what you’re scheming. You’re blind and can’t appreciate my precious girl, but my Marilla doesn’t need to marry into the Fairhaven family! If it weren’t for Jareth throwing himself at my granddaughter, I wouldn’t have spared him a glance! You f**king d*rty old man, you should wait somewhere for you death, plotting against a twenty–year–old girl! Have you ho pride?! A great household, a great family, more like a great beast, I spit on
that!”

Hamilton raged on, not giving Barry a chance to retort. Evadne listened on, feeling a rush of satisfaction.

What the Fairhaven father and son cherished most was their company, and whatever they cared about, she would destroy!

Barry finally regained his composure and dropped the protense, tearing all facades with Hamilton, “Heh, I cout of consideration for the relationship between my grandson and your granddaughter, and you treated my good intentions like trash, hurling abuse at mel Since you despise Jareth so much, and your granddaughter is in such a state, out of her mind, she’s not fit to be the Fairhaven family’s granddaughter–in–law. It’s better to call off this engagement! Instead of arguing with me, you might as well take your granddaughter to see a doctor”
“You!”
Barry cunningly hung up the phone.
In a rage, Hamilton’s face turned crimson, and Mr. Murray quickly brought over water. Evadne Immediately began massaging Hamilton’s temples to ease his stress..
“Grandpa Hamilton, Barry called just to break off the engagement; he was just balting you for a statement. Don’t be angry; let him have his moment of petty victory. There will ca twhen their family will weep,” Evadne’s eyes were filled with icy resolve.
“I don’t need that old cur to make a sound. I wouldn’t let Marilla marry into that den of thieves!”
Hamilton instructed Mr. Murray with a voice filled with hate, “Mr. Murray, spread my word. From now on, the Abernathy Group will have no business dealings with the Fairhaven Group! Any partner of the Abernathy Group who dares to associate with the Fairhaven Group, once I find out, they will never be able to work with the Abernathy Group again! Let’s see who dares to stand with them!”
Mr. Murray nodded gravely, “Yes, Mr. Abernathy!”
“Grandpa Hamilton.” Thaddeus spoke with a furrowed brow, his tall frame carrying a chill as he Evadne, “Jareth’s here, right outside. He wants to see you, and Marilla.”
“Tell him to get lost!” Hamilton dismissed with a wave of his large hand.
approached
Mr. Thaddeus and Mrs. Evadne Abernathy exchanged a helpless glance. They knew that Grandpa didn’t truly. hate Jareth.
But the fact that Jareth had failed to protect Marilla was undeniable, and yes, he was Barry’s own fiesh and blood. To say there was no resentment would be a lie.
“If he doesn’t get to see you and Marillo, I’m afraid he won’t leave,” Thaddeus said, his voice deep and resonant.
Hamilton just stared at his granddaughter, silent. His stance was clear.
In the sprawling villa grounds.
Tonight, the temperature had plummeted. The cold rain mixed with bone– chilling sleet fell unceasingly, casting a gloomy and oppressive atmosphere over the garden.
Jareth stood resolute in the wintry mix, his handsface paler than the snow. The man had worn only a thin suit, standing for over an hour, his hair and b*dy soaked through, as if countless steel nails were piercing his fiesh and driving deep into his bones.
Dean had been sent to take care of things, and after Lily received a cursory treatment for her wounds, she insisted on accompanying Jareth.
Even if she couldn’t see Mrs. Fairhaven all night, that didn’t matter; as long as she could keep watch from afar, she was content.

“Mr. Fairhaven, it’s Mr. Thaddeus Abernathy and Ms. Ashbourne, Lily struggled to stand behind him, her l*ps already purple from the cold.
Thaddeus, his handsfeatures set in seriousness, held a black umbrella, almost two–thirds of which sheltered Evadne, while he stood mostly exposed to the elements.
“Lily, heard you were hurt; how are you doing?”
Evadne completely ignored Jareth, her worried gaze passing over him to fall on Lily’s ashen face, “I’ll have a look at you again in a bit.”
“I’m okay, thank you, Ms. Ashbourne,” Lily’s voice was choked with emotion.
Because of her helplessness, Mrs. Fairhaven had suffered mental torment. She felt she should be the one paying with her life; how could she accept any favors?
“It’s no trouble at all. Cwithinside, and you can stay here tonight,” Evadne said softly, without a hint of blin her voice.
Lily’s pupils contracted sharply, ‘Ms. Ashbourne.”
“We think Marilla must have been so shocked because she saw something happen to you.”
Thaddeus wrapped an arm around Evadne’s slender waist, speaking warmly, “When Marilla wakes up and sees you’re alright, her spirits will surely lift. You want to be there for her, don’t you?”
“Thank you, Mr. Abernathy, thank you, Ms. Ashbourne,” Lily bowed deeply, her tears silently rolling down her frozen cheeks.
Jason cover, following Evadne’s instructions to usher Lily into the villa.
“Mr. Fairhaven.”
Lily wanted to be with Marilla, but she couldn’t leave her boss standing in punishment alone. Her eyes burned with distress, torn between her duties.
“Go on. Being with Marilla is what matters,” Jareth said, his voice hoarse.
Lily followed Jason away.
As soon as they left, Evadne pulled away from Thaddeus‘ embrace and, braving the sleet, confronted Jareth. Suddenly, her eyes blazed with fury, and she
