Chapter 106
Evadne’s soft but clear voice left everyone in the room gobsmacked!
Hamiltion and Frederic stood there, jaws dropped to the floor.
Acacia instantly felt a chill down her spine, her face as pale as a ghost, while Elspeth and Glynnis were
also equally stunned.
Who would’ve guessed that this seemingly ordinary woman, discarded like yesterday’s news, was
actually the daughter of Emeric, Skyrim’s richest man, a blo ody heiress!
“Was this for real?”
Glynnis nervously tugged at Elspeth, only to get impatiently shrugged off.
“Zip it!”
Thaddeus waspletely floored, his mind a whirlwind of shock and confusion, feeling like he was just
about to drown in his own emotions!
na had used to take care of Mr. Hamiltion as a caregiver and even became his wife. How could she
possibly be Evadne, the heiress of the Ashbourne group?
He took a deep breath and walked up to Evadne, forcing his puffy red eyes open, staring at this face
that was both familiar and strange.
Evadne turned her head away, avoiding his gaze.
Whether out of guilt or annoyance, she didn’t want to have too much interaction with him.
“So it’s really you?” Thaddeus’s voice was low and hesitant.
“Yeah.” She answered coldly, her gaze steady.
“So, it was you who fought back against the Stirling group, and it was you who made me climb ten
floors.”
“Don’t bother asking anymore, and it was all me. I’m the general manager of K Orld Hotel, and I’m
Emeric’s daughter that he has never shown to the public, Evadne,” she cut him off, her tone icy. “But
don’t get me wrong. As a top executive of the hotel, everything I did was for the benefit of the hotel, not
against you. As for that time, I sent a stand-in to meet you. You should understand why. I concealed myText ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
identity to avoid unnecessary troubles so we could end this rtionship peacefully, so I didn’t meet you
in person.”
Evadne paused, lowering her head sadly, “On this matter, I lied to you. I’m sorry. I apologize.”
She had deceived him again, and this time, the deception was far more severe than before.
However, Thaddeus didn’t feel as angry as he had imagined. He wanted to know why.
Why would she give up a life of wealth to be a simple caregiver by Mr. Hamiltion’s side? Why would
she endure all the humiliation and marry him knowing he didn’t love her?
“So you and Cas sius, and Arnold Ashbourne?”
“They’re all my brothers, same father, same mother.”
Having said that, Evadne didn’t pay any more attention to Thaddeus and walked towards Emeric.
Thaddeus took a deep breath, his heart pounding, feeling like there was a weight on his chest.
At this time, Jason also hurried over, and seeing Chairman Emeric and Evadne together, he quickly put
two and two together.
“Chairman Emeric, Ms. Evadne.”
“Mr. Jason, go help Cas sius. He’s drunk, Evadne probably can’t hold him up.”
Though Emeric was fuming, he couldn’t afford to make a scene in front of the Abernathy family in this
current chaotic situation, so he had to suppress his anger and leave this ce first.
Jason quickly stepped forward to steady Cas sius, Thaddeus wanted to help but was coldly rejected by
Evadne.
“There’s no need, and we can handle it.”
Thaddeus gave an awkward smile, embarra**ingly dropping his hand.
*Jason, contact the Ashbourne group’s doctor immediately and take Cas s ius to the hospital. He might
need his stomach pumped,” Evadne ordered seriously.
“Pump his stomach?! Didn’t President Ashbourne just get drunk?”
“Cas sius didn’t just get drunk.” Evadne red at the Abernathy family, “He was drugged. His current
reaction is due to the influence of the drug!”
Everyone was shocked.
And the three women of the Abernathy family had different expressions on their faces.
Especially Glynnis, her legs were trembling.
Emeric’s face was stern.
He had felt something was off with Cas sius from the start. He had good drinking habits and wouldn’t
get drunk and make a scene at Mr. Hamiltion’s birthday party, there must be something wrong!
Jason first helped Cas sius down.
Hamiltion was so angry that his face was pale, his body slightly trembling, “na, what the hell was
going on? Tell me everything!”
Although he now knew she was the Ashbourne family’s heiress, Mr. Hamiltion still called her na out
of habit.
“How could this be possible?!” Frederic, who prided himself on the Abernathy family’s strict conduct,
felt very humiliated by this incident and was eager to restore their reputation, “Our vi has high
security. Outsiders cannot enter! And all the guests tonight are friends and family. Who would do such
a despicable thing in public? There must be a misunderstanding, President Ashbourne might have food
poisoning, an allergy, or?”
“It’s fine if you don’t want to believe it. The Ashbourne group’s hospital is very efficient. Everything will
come to light after Cas sius gets a physical examination and blood tests.”
Evadne slightly raised her chin, her noble temperament shining through, her eyes gleaming with cold
light, “And as you said, this vi has strict security, and everyoneing and going is part of the
Abernathy family. So, does that mean that whoever did this is from within the Abernathy family?”
Frederic’s face changed dramatically, but he couldn’t refute it.

Chapter 106
Acacia was cowering behind the Abernathy family, so scared she stumbled backwards.
“It’s okay. Glynnis did it all, and she didn’t do anything!”
And Glynnis, her heart was pounding like a drum.
They agreed for her to drug Cas sius and for Acacia to deal with na. Howe Cas sius ended up
getting hit, and na was just fine?
Did Acacia not even make a move?!
Glynnis red at Acacia, furious.
What a low-life! So sneaky!
“Um, Ms. Evadne, aren’t you being a bit harsh on me?” Elspeth, worried about being found out, quickly
chimed in, “The Abernathy family doesn’t have any ill will towards the Ashbourne family. Why would we
hurt Mr. Cas sius?!”
“Enough! It’s not your ce to speak!” Hamiltion, unable to hold back anymore, yelled out with a
powerful voice.
Elspeth, scolded like a serv ant, was fuming with rage, wishing she could poison the older man right
then and there.
“It might not be about hurting Cas sius. Cas sius might just be a pawn. The real target is me.”
Evadne was calm, showing no signs of fear.
Thaddeus furrowed his brows, his darkened gaze filled with suspicion as he looked at Elspeth and
Glynnis.
From the start, he found it strange that the Ashbourne father and son, not on the guest list, suddenly
attended Mr. Hamiltion’s birthday banquet.
Added to that Elspeth’s exposure of his rtionship with Evadne in front of Emeric, then the discovery
of Cas sius and Evadne together.
It’s all too coincidental, like a carefully nned trap!
“After I sang for Mr. Hamiltion, a maid found me, saying Cas sius wasn’t feeling well and was resting in
his room, asking me to check on him. I care about Cas sius, so I went without a second thought. I didn’t
expect this to happen.”
Evadne clenched her teeth, her eyes filled with deep anger, “Cas sius protected me, holding onto
shards from a broken vase, hurting himself to stay calm, foiling their ns! Because I’ve been hiding
my identity, the Abernathy family didn’t know I was actually part of the Ashbourne family, so they dared
to make a move on me. But they didn’t know I’m President Ashbourne’s sister. If they did, they wouldn’t
have done this.”
Emeric, heartbroken, held back his anger, scoffing, “Frederic, I think you owe me an exnation for
tonight or don’t me me for not caring about your reputation!”
“I’m sure there’s a misunderstanding!” Frederic was so anxious he couldn’t even speak clearly.
Emeric waved his hand in annoyance, “I don’t want to hear it! Evadne and Cas sius, one was harmed
in your house, and the other is already in trouble! I don’t care if the Abernathy family was responsible. It
happened in your house, you have to give me an exnation!”
“You’re making it hard for me!” Frederic was so frustrated his face turned red, fuming with anger.
“The poison didn’t end up in your son’s cup. What’s so hard about that.” Emeric squinted his eyes. “Are
you unable to investigate, or are you too scared to?”
Frederic clenched his teeth, so angry he was dizzy.
Seeing Emeric so determined to protect her and Cas sius, Evadne’s eyes welled up, filled with warmth.
Although he’s a flirt, Emeric was good to his family!
Acacia’s dress was soaked in cold sweat, and Glynnis, having worse me ntal stability, started to back
off, ready to run.
“Miss Glynnis, where do you think you’re going?”
Hearing this, Glynnis was so scared she almost screamed. She looked up quickly.
Jareth’s eyes were cold as ice as he walked over steadily.
Everyone saw he was holding a sleeping girl in his arms.
Glynnis was so pis sed, her hatred uncontrobly spreading in her reddened eyes.
The girl being held and carefully protected by the man she loved was Mari Abernathy!
