Chapter 273


    Avery''s arms were full of bruises by now, and there were traces of blood on the corner of her lips.


    Meanwhile, the camera on top of the table continued to film whatever was transpiring.


    An unconceble, bone-chilling aura emanated from Cayden.


    He sent Dn to the ground with a firm kick before wrecking the camera.


    Then, he dragged Dn back up from the floor before thetter could even retaliate and threw him


    against the wall, causing a loud crashing noise to resonate across the room.


    “You dare touch her, Dn?” Cayden growled in a voice so insidious that it sounded as though he were


    a demon straight from the abyss. Even Xavier and Avery couldn''t help but shudder as they heard him.


    With tears brimming in her eyes, the woman could only hug her knees and cower in one corner like an


    injured bird.


    While having to fight the effects of the drug, she trembled in fear.


    Cayden could tell from her unusually flushed cheeks that she had been drugged, but he chose to


    ignore her for now instead of taking her away immediately.

    He was so infuriated by her foolishness but could do nothing to release his pent-up anger.


    To think she got herself into this mess! I''m going to teach her a lesson she''ll never forget.


    Although he was thinking that, his expression grew darker as he noticed all the marks and bruises on


    Avery''s body.


    “I was just about to sleep with my wife, and then you came barging in and starting a fight all of a


    sudden! What the hell is going on?” Dn demanded haughtily despite having busted a lip because of


    Cayden. “Your cousin-inw''s going to be miserable for the rest of her life if I end up getting


    traumatized by this incident!”


    Cayden red at him maliciously.


    “It''s precisely because of the blood we share that I''ve been lenient toward you all this while. But you''ve


    really disappointed me this time.”


    He then began to walk in Dn''s direction like a panther that could jump at its prey at any given


    moment, causing thetter to tense up.


    Dn knew all too well that Cayden''s gentle and noble demeanor was simply a fa?ade. Deep down,


    the man was vicious and shrewd.


    Moreover, thetter was a skilled fighter.


    There''s no way I can beat him. I won''t even have a chance to fight back. This b*stard''s just too much!


    With five broken ribs, Dn could only remain lying on the carpet. The pain in his chest was so intense


    that he could barely even breathe.


    “You''re going to have our families turn against each other all because of a woman? She''s just a


    woman!” the man eximed as he stared back into Cayden''s frigid eyes.


    Xavier sighed and shook his head.


    You''re really asking for it, Mr. Musk. Don''t you know how much Ms. Rumpley means to Mr. Moore? You


    touched the woman he cares about most, and now you''re fanning the mes with your words. Do you


    have a death wish?


    Cayden nced at his cousin before kneeling down slowly to pick up the broken, half-empty ss.


    There were traces of red liquid around the rim, and he took a whiff.


    The dangerous scent widened the smirk on his lips.


    “Seventh Heaven? One tablet is enough to transform even the most inexperienced woman into a


    nymphomaniac. You sure know your stuff, huh, Dn?”


    Dn sneered in response,pletely unafraid of aggravating Cayden further. “If you ever need some


    tips on things like these, I''ll be more than happy to lend you a hand. I gave Avery a pill, hoping that it''d


    spice things up. Seeing the way she looked after she ate the pill got me all excited, but you just had to


    get in the way before I had the chance to show her what I was capable of! Just my goddamn luck!”


    Suddenly, the man cried out in pain.


    It took him only a second to realize that Cayden had stabbed him in the palm with the broken wine


    ss.


    Cayden had used so much force that blood spilled as soon as the ss shards came into contact with


    his hand.


    “Cayden, how dare you!”


    The smile ying on Dn''s lips vanished immediately as the pain caused his face to contort, and his


    eyes were now swirling with rage.


    Avery gasped and shivered at the horrifying sight.


    She felt as though her burning body was starting to cool slightly as she witnessed Cayden''s cruel act in


    a state of disbelief.


    He actually stabbed Dn with the broken ss.


    The woman inhaled sharply.


    Dn is his cousin. Now that he''s hurt him, Allie''s going to start a ruckus. No, the entire Musk family


    isn''t going to let this go.


    It was Avery''s first time seeing Cayden behave like this.


    Despite his overbearingness, she had always regarded him as a kind gentleman. Now, he was simply


    cold-blooded and ruthless.


    “You''d better kill me while you can now, Cayden, because if you don''t, I''m going to be the one who kills


    you sooner orter! I was the one who liked Avery first, but you just had to ruin everything! It''s over


    between us. We''re sworn enemies from now on!” Dn roared.


    The pain in his palm and on his chest made him sweat profusely, but his words still left a mark on


    Cayden, who looked at him frostily.


    Dn continued to put up a brave front despite quivering in pain. Seeing that, Cayden grabbed him by


    the neck, wanting to strangle him to death.


    His lips curved with disdain. “I''m going to make it loud and clear to you. Avery is mine, and I''ll kill you if


    you dare touch her ever again,” he enunciated, his icy voice piercing Dn''s ear like a knife. “I''m sure


    you know what it''s like to be put behind bars since you''ve already had a taste of it. I could always throw


    you back in for life. How about that?”


    Right after saying that, Cayden hurled Dn to the ground like a piece of garbage and picked the


    shuddering woman up without even breaking a sweat.


    “He''s bleeding a lot, Mr. Moore, and those injuries look really severe. Should I call nine-one-one?”


    Xavier asked carefully while following his boss from behind.


    Dn was still Cayden''s older cousin at the end of the day, and the two shared a blood rtionship.


    Furthermore, Dn was the only nephew of Allie whom she adored. If both families were to go against


    each other, the woman would definitely wreak havoc on her own son every single day.


    It didn''t help that Cayden had reduced his cousin to such a miserable state now.


    That was why Xavier still had an ounce of sympathy for Dn although thetter got what he deserved.


    Yet, Cayden strode out of the room with Avery in his arms, not sparing Dn a nce. “No. He can


    consider himself lucky if he survives. But if he dies, he dies,” he answered aloofly.


    After watching his cousin leave with the woman, Dn closed his eyes reluctantly.


    The ire within him, along with all the injuries he had received, caused him to cough out a mouthful of


    blood before he slipped into unconsciousness.
