Chapter 1420


    “Mr. Chriss…” Jacquelin was in a sorry state, her tearful eyes fixed on Elijah.


    However, Elijah frowned, devoid of any sympathy.


    “Mr. Chriss, your wife—”


    “What about my wife?” he cut in.


    “Well…” Jacquelin was at a loss.


    Wasn’t it clear? She was covered in frappe, and she was trembling all over!


    Elijah said coldly, “Ms. Dillon, haven’t you always thought of yourself as my mistress? If these were


    feudal times, you’d be a ‘concubine’.”


    Kasey froze, staring at Elijah.


    “Since you’re a concubine…” Elijah approached Kasey and stood beside her. “Then, if the legitimate


    wife scolds you or ps you, it’s only right. Don’t be upset about it, okay? What’s ‘showering’ you with


    a frappe? Even if she were to throw dirty sink water at you out of anger, you’d still have to bear it!


    Understand?”


    “What?!” Jacquelin’s face paled.


    Kasey was utterly shocked. In her memory, this seemed to be the first time Elijah stood on her side.


    She could not believe it. “Elijah, do you know what you’re saying?”


    Elijah nced at Kasey. “I’m not senile yet.”


    “Then…” Kasey gulped. “I made her look like this, but you—”


    Elijah impatiently interrupted, “Do I look like someone who’s here to uphold justice?!”Books Chapters

    Kasey fell silent but could not help a smile.


    The crowd first fell into silence, then erupted into praises and whispers.


    “Didn’t expect this from Mr. Chriss!”


    “Hey, don’t think too highly of him. As long as a man’s brain functions properly, he’ll take the legitimate


    wife’s side in front of others!”


    “Well, that works too. As the legitimate wife, even if there’s no love, she gets to keep her dignity at


    least!” “They’re all intermingled with interests. Given Mr. Chriss’ intelligence, how could he not


    understand this?”


    Jacquelin felt utterly ashamed, gnashing her teeth in anger. She pushed her way through the crowd


    and ran out.


    The onlookers gradually dispersed.


    Kasey remained standing, still immersed in the joy of Elijah standing up for her.

    However, a cold voice reached her ears. “Hurry home! Stop embarrassing yourself here!”


    Kasey felt like she had been struck on the head and snapped back to reality. She looked at Elijah and


    bit her lip. Herst trace of pride prevented her from saying anything nice to him.


    At this point, they noticed Zuko and Lena standing not far away.


    Elijah regained hisposure and stepped forward quickly to nod at Zuko. “Mr. Hamerton.”


    Zuko remained expressionless.


    “I’m truly sorry for disrupting thepany’s order due to my personal matters.”


    “You don’t need to apologize,” Zuko said softly. “I actually saw Jacquelin secretly taking photos of me


    and Lena earlier.”


    Elijah and Kasey were taken aback.


    “Your wife’s truly remarkable!” Zuko praised.
