Chapter 732
“Got it,” Thaddeus said, his voice as dark as the storm clouds gathering on the horizon. He hung up the phone, with frustration
etched across his handsome features. “Glynnis has to choose now of all times to sneak off in the dead of night to meet with
Edith. Isn’t that convincing enough that she’s involved in leaking Mari’s medical records? Isn’t it clear they’ve been in cahoots
all along?”
Jareth, with eyes ming red as a fox’s, clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white, and he mmed one of his
fists down on the mattress with enough force to almost tear it apart,
“Your sister has probably been in league with Gary from the start, and might''ve even tipped off Barry behind the scenes.
Otherwise, their n wouldn’t be running so smoothly, so damn timely. I’m afraid they’ve been plotting this for ages.
Jareth suddenly recalled the night when he went to deliver the engagement invitations to Barry and bumped into Edith, who was
there delivering some tea.
She was never that diligent before.
Looking back, it was a clear case of ‘no good deed goes unpunished-either treachery or theft!
“She’s not my sister,” Jareth repeated, his eyes reddening with each iteration.
With each repetition, he tore Edith apart in his heart filled with loathing.
“But she’s the darling of your grandfather and your mother, the flesh and blood of your father, and she’s written Into the
Fairhaven family tree.” Thaddeus said, pressing firmly on Jareth’s trembling shoulders. “And even if our deductions are spot-on,
without concrete evidence, every move you make could be used against you by them. when they strike back.”
These were the words Evadne often told him.
And now, he passed them on to his best friend.
“Don’t getcent just because you''re the CEO now. They’ve got plenty of ways to take you down and to keep you out of
Fairhaven business. Don’t hand them the sword to do it. Revenge isn’t aplished overnight. And what Edith did this time has
hit Barry right in the heart. If you go after her, you might just end up burning yourself.”
As Thaddeus spoke, his eyes were icy and, his husky voice was filled with resolve, ‘As for Glynnis, I''ll handle
her.
“But Glynnis and Edith, what''s the difference between them?”
Jareth grabbed his arm, his eyes zing with urgency, “If you go after Glynnis, Mr. Frederic will take it as an insult to the
Abernathy name, and he''ll use it as an excuse to suppress you and to make things difficult for you!”
“Don''t worry, | have my ways.
Thaddeus smirked slightly, “I think my wife has even better ideas.”
When Thaddeus arrived back at Havenbrook, night had already fallen.
As soon as he walked through the door, Mr. Murray and Evadne came to greet him, telling him that Mari had woken up.
1s Mari okay?” Thaddeus asked, wrapping his arm around her with deep concern.
Evadne sighed and shook her head while gently rubbing his cold hands, “Not so good. Grandpa stayed with her for a while, but
he went back to his room to rest ‘cause he wasn’t feeling well. Now Lily is with her. How about. Jareth? Is he okay?”
“| took him to the hospital; he came down with a high fever from the cold. Thankfully, he’s strong and he’s

holding up.”
Evadne had her eyshes drooped, a shadow of sorrow passing over her face.
Both the two men were stubbornly passionate.
“Evadne,e with me.” Thaddeus said, gripping her soft hand with a heavy look in his eyes, “There’s something we need to
discuss.”
In the room.
Mari clung to Lily, her tears soaking through the fabric of Lily''s ck suit.
“Mydy, look at me, I’m just fine. Nothing happened,” Lily said while holding the girl tightly; she tried to keep her voice light even
as her eyes shimmered with unshed tears. “Those people just wanted to scare you, that’s all. It’s over now And it won’t happen
again. From now on, only good days await you and the young master.”
“Will there be a “from now on for me and Jareth? Mari suddenly asked, her voice hauntingly soft.
Lily''s heart clenched, and she quickly reassured, “Mydy, please don’t worry. This trouble isn’t insurmountable. Mr. Fairhaven,
Mr. Thaddeus, and Ms. Evadne will handle everything. Everything will be fine soon!”
“Lily, I’m not naive. | know why all of this happened, because the Fairhaven family doesn’t want Jareth and me to be together.”Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Tears hung heavy on Mari’s
tremblingshes, which made her
look all the more heartbreaking. This
time, they hurt your leg and
kidnapped you, just to give you a
taste of their power. But next time,
they might take your life. I’m not fit

“Mydy! Please don’t think like that!”
Lily shook her head frantically, her
eyes red with distress, “You''re the
only reason that the young master
wants to live! If he lost you, what
would his life be worth? What would

“My existence only brings him trouble. He has to spend so much effort to take care of me, and he’s already at
his limit.”
Mari’s childlike innocence seemed
stripped away by the ordeal, and her
thoughts became painfully clear as if
the crisis had forced her to mature
faster, “I’m not like my sister-inw,
who can help Thaddeus a lot. | can’t
help him with anything. | only hold
him back. And | will only put you in
even more terrible danger. You''re
neither a subordinate nor a
bodyguard, you''re my friend, a very
important person to me. From the
beginning, | said I’m not worthy of his
love. Jareth deserves someone
better.” Visit noveldrama.org to read

“Mydy. | beg you, don’t give up on the young master, please. Lily pleaded, feeling her words so clumsy that she became
brimmed with tears.
Perhaps Mari had always known the stance of the Fairhaven family, and had always known how hard Jareth fought to protect
her from the storm. Today’s crisis was just the final straw.
“| know everything Jareth has ever done for me,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper. “If he keeps this up. he’s going to
lose himself.”
Mari slowly closed her tired, burning eyes.
Her mind wandered back to her grandfather’s birthday bash, and to the moonlit garden where she and Jareth. had slipped away
for a moment of privacy
Back then, Jareth’s eyes had sparkled with an intensity that outshone the myriad stars above.
But those once brilliant orbs as dazzling as a phoenix’s gaze seemed to have gathered an invisibleyer of dust over time, and
they were gradually shrouded with an unshakable mncholy.
As he was immersed in the warmth of those memories, a soft smile found its way across her face, even though bitter tears
welled up in the corners of her eyes.
“| just want Jareth to find his way back to whom he used to be. | want him to move forward boldly, without any reservations.”
