    Chapter 212


    Evadne had taken care of Mari’s issues and returned to the mansion with Jason.


    On the way back, she couldn’t help but rey the scene where Thaddeus had wiped her hair. Her heart


    clenched and her mouth became dry.


    Tm sorry, this is my first time doing this I don’t have much experience”


    Bullshi


    He had been entangled with Acacia for years, even if they hadn’t gone all the way, he must have done


    all sorts of things. Pretending to be naive and innocent in front of her


    Returning home, Evadne kicked off her heels. Instead of rushing to rest, she sat on the couch with a


    gloomy face


    Jason brought her a warm cup of milk, full of concern. “Miss Evadne, it’ste. You should go to bed


    once you’ve had a drink.”


    How did Mari and Jareth cross paths tonight? Mari has always been closely watched by the


    Abernathy family. What’s going on?” Evadne found it hard to sleep, worried about the unfortunate girl


    1 asked Jareth. He didn’t know why Mari would appear at his club. He said that she was nervously


    looking for something and might have been in danger if he hadn’t run into her.” Evadne frowned,


    “Looking for something? What?”


    “A teddy bear you gave her.”


    Evadne’s breath hitched, her fingers clenched The teddy bear I gave Mari was thrown in Sapphire


    Nights Club?”


    1 asked him if there was anything unusual at the club. He said no. But he mentioned his sister, Edith


    “Jason used hiswyer skills to get the information he needed.


    “see”


    Evadnes eyes narrowed. She hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, but she could piece together what had


    happened “Glynnis, you really can’t change your ways, can you? Those who dare to bully Maria. I


    make sure they pay!”


    Jareth, chased home by Thaddeus, arrived home in the early morning


    Hey in bed, eyes closed. His mind was filled with images of kissing Mari in a hazy light


    Helps were sweet and soft, and utterly intoxicating.


    Suddenly, he felt a rush of heat in his lower abdomen, and he got an erection!


    Damn it! I’m a beast!”


    Jareth cursed, closed his eyes to sleep, but the difort below forced him to get up and take a 20-


    minute cold shower before he could finally rx


    As the sky began to lighten, he finally fell asleep.


    He didn’t wake up until the next afternoon


    Dressed and ready. Jareth had just left his room when Edith, with a resentful face, confronted h


    “Jareth, you’ve gone too far!”


    “Too far? Just because I told you not to hang out at Sapphire Nights Club and not to hang out with


    Glynnis


    Jareth raised his hand to touch Edith’s head, sighed. “Edth, why are you so nave? Can’t you tell right


    from wrong?”


    Don’t touch me with the hand that has touched Mari, it’s filthy!”

    Edth pped his hand away, unable to contain her resentment towards Mari


    “Edith, what did you say?” Jareth’s pupés constricted, staring at his sister in disbelief


    Edth, humiliated by being taken away in public, vented her anger at her brother, Thate Mari! You are


    mine and mine alone. Who does she think she is trying to take you away from me?” “Edith, what are


    you talking about?” Jh’s eyebrows knitted together.


    “You turned the whole Sapphire Nights Club upside down just to find a broken toy for her! A broken


    toy!”


    Edith’s emotions spiraled out of control as she stomped her feet. The passing servants looked on, but


    no one dared to look twice.


    Tm your sister! When have you ever been so concerned about me? You just throw money at me! But


    now you’re going above and beyond for that idiot, Jareth, have you lost your mind?! | studied abroad


    for a few years, and when Ie back, Im lower than an idiot!”


    “Edth, Maria is not an idiot. I wont let you talk about her like that,” Jareth snapped back, finding the


    word “idiot” too harsh and too piercing


    He had always seen Edith as a kind-hearted angel, even if she was a bit spoiled. But her eyes were


    now filled with hatred, as if she had a deep grudge against Mari.


    “Bro, you shouted at me for that idiot “Edith’s face turned from red to white. She was terrified by his


    cold gaze, her forehead breaking out in a cold sweat


    “Maria is not an idiot. I don’t want to hear that word from you again. If you do, I will really get angry,


    Edith.”


    Jareth took a deep breath, his eyes dimmed. “When we were young and you were too young to


    remember, our father died in an ident, and our mother was too busy with family affairs to take care


    of us I’ve been protecting you ever since. I fed you, let you ride on my back, even changed your


    diapers. You say I don’t care about you, that I’m not good to you. The truth is, in twenty years, nothing


    has hurt me more than this”


    “Brother”Edth was dumbfounded, her voice trembling with emotion.


    1 still care about you, but we have grown up. The way I care about you has changed, and you just


    haven’t noticed”


    Jareth’s gaze suddenly darkuined, “You dont understand me, and I don’t me you for that. But what I


    don’t understand is why you harbor such hostility towards Mar w


    done to offend you?”


    1 just don’t like her. She doesn’t deserve to be with you!” Edith couldn’t handle his questioning and


    found a random reason to brush him off


    Jareth’s jawline tensed, his eyes stern and somber, “Edith, you have no right to look down on Mari. In


    terms of status, she is a rising star in the Abernathy Group. Her status than you or me Even if she


    comes from a poor background and has nothing, so what? The woman i have set my sights on, who


    can stop me if I want her?”


    With that, he turned and strode away, leaving Edith standing in ce, clenching her teeth in humiliation


    A whole week had passed since Ada Ang broke her contract with the K Orld Hotel


    Throughout this week, Jason had been closely monitoring the members of the nning team, but to no

    shut his eyes, “Gather the project team members, we’re having a meeting in the conference room”


    Half an hourter, the eight hotel employees previously in charge of Ada’s wedding nning arrived in


    the conference room on time.


    After waiting for about ten minutes, Evadne finally watred in, looking cheerful


    Despite the contract termination, it seemed her mood hadn’t been affected at all


    “Sorry for the dy everyone, I was tied up with some important matters”


    Evadne sat at the head of the conference table, surveying the eight people before her with a confident


    smile, Tvee up with a new wedding n and intend to approach Ada again want her to reconsider


    working with us!


    The team gasped in surprise, their excitement palpable, Really? That’s great!”


    Evadne nodded, her sharp gaze scanning the faces of the team members. At this moment, she noticed


    a staff member named Kevin whose expression changed slightly.


    As luck would have it, Kevin raised his hand to ask a question.


    “President Ashbourne hasn’t Ada already chosen the Abernathy Group? Given the circumstances, can


    we really win her back?”


    Evadnes fingers tapped on the table, her eyes slightly narrowed, she asked with a faint smile, ‘Oh? Ada


    has already teamed up with the Abernathy Group? Howe you know about such big news, but I


    don’t?”
