NovelEnglishChapter 406 A Brother Worse Than A Beast
Hearing that, Cecilia furrowed her brows.
Magnus, however, continued to ramble on, “You have no idea about the amount of humiliation I've endured over
the years. | used to be the one who bullied others!”
“Cecilia, | need your help. As long as you meet Nicholas, he’ll surely help us.”
Cecilia didn’t want to hear any of that. She was ready to end the call when Magnus unexpectedly said, “If |
hadn't been deceived by Mom, we wouldn't have ended up like this either.”
“What do you mean?” Cecilia immediately asked.
Magnus was already drunk beyond comprehension, sitting right in the middle of the street, devoid of grace.
Not long after making the call, he was thrown out of Royale Club. This was because Ralph had requested to
freeze his card, so he couldn’t pay and was even severely beaten up.

“What do you think is the reason our vast family fortune was used up within three years? It’s all because Mom
hadtransfer all the money to her lover, Ralph! Now that the Evans family is rich and powerful, they've turned
their backs on me. They froze my card, which led togetting brutally beaten up. Had it not been for Zachary, |
would've been done for,” Magnus revealed.
Cecilia listened in silence. It was only then she truly realized her naivety.
She had assumed that Paula married into the Evans family after meeting Ralph abroad. However, it turned out
that wasn’t the case.
“Are you suggesting that Paula started seeing other men not long after Dad’s death?”
At this point, Magnus was starting to sober up, stammering, “I-I'm not very sure about that. Regardless, just
meet Nicholas once foras a favor. I'm your biological brother, after all, and we share the sblood. If |
manage to make a comeback, you'll still hold your position as the young lady of the Smith family.”
Just as Magnus finished speaking, the call on the other end was abruptly disconnected.
Cecilia clutched her phone tightly, standing still, feeling a chill run down her spine.
She had once thought that even though Paula didn’t love her, she at least loved Regas. But now, it seemed, that
wasn't the case at all...
She picked up her phone and dialed Sven’s number. “Sven, could you have your people look into Paula’s past for
me? Especially the years after my father’s death.”
Cecilia had attempted to investigate Paula and the Evans family, but there was too little information available.
“All right,” Sven agreed unhesitatingly.
Though he was Calvin's man, he was now a subordinate of Cecilia.
When he was with Calvin, he had access to numerous resources, making it quite easy to investigate someone.
On the other side, Magnus wanted to call Cecilia again to persuade her, but he found out that she had blocked
his number.
“This blockhead! She can’t help with anything, and to think I've been treating her like my sister!” Magnus
grumbled under his breath.

Suddenly, someone fiercely kicked his leg.
“Who dares to kick me?” Magnus looked up, his gaze meeting Zachary’s cold and handsface.
“Mr. Sinclair? What's this about?” Magnus‘ demeanor changed in an instant.
“Who did you call a blockhead?” Zachary leaned over, his captivating eyes filled with a cold intensity.
Magnus thought Zachary still detested Cecilia like he used to. “It’s all because of my so-called. sister. She won't
even doa small favor. Mr. Sinclair, could you help...”
Before he could finish his sentence, Zachary delivered a brutal punch in his face.
Blood was trickling from the corner of Magnus’ mouth, the metallic taste of iron filling his senses.
He hastily scrambled backward. “Mr. Sinclair, w-what are you-
“Letmake this clear, I'm picking up the tab for you today, not because of a good-for-nothing like you. It's
because of your sister, Cecilia! You should know what to say from now on, right?” Zachary spoke in a low voice.
It was beyond his imagination that someone as kind as Cecilia would have a useless brother who was worse than «
a beast.
