Chapter 525
Chapter 525 Cayden Has Been Taken Away
After the Lamberts were gone, the reporters turned their focus to Cayden as they began bombarding
him with questions and shes.
“Mr. Moore, will the cancetion of the engagement today affect the rtionship between the Moore
family and the Lambert family?”
“Mr. Moore, both you and Ms. Lambert seem like a perfect match. What''s your reason behind calling off
the engagement?”
“Mr. Moore, Trident Group''s new product is about to be released on the market. Aren''t you worried that
the product sales will be affected by the cancetion of the engagement?”
The reporters kept shoving their microphones at Cayden as their cameras were trained on him to
capture every single expression that crossed his face.
Cayden tugged his tie and swallowed as a look of impatience crossed his face.
His grandfather was unconscious, so how could he possibly be in the mood to answer the reporters?
Thus, he swept his icy gaze across the reporters.
Immediately, the atmosphere turned tense, and everyone fell silent.
Everyone knew that Cayden was the devil of the corporate world. Despite his gentle looks, he was a
ruthless man. Those on the receiving end of his stare would feel like prey watched by an angry beast.
The hair on the back of their necks would stand.
In fact, some of the reporters even took a few steps back.
Everyone could sense the murderous aura he was exuding.
All of a sudden, a group of bodyguards came from all directions. They began shoving away the
reporters to forcibly open up a path for Cayden to leave.
Then, the chaotic scene was left for Xavier to deal with.
Meanwhile, Wisteria was watching the chaos unfold as she remained seated. A smile grew on her
beautiful face.
Her soft hand caressed the crystal wine ss as if she was touching the body of the man she loved.
“Cheers,” she merrily said to her friend, lifting her ss.
It was the perfect oue.
Among everyone, she was the most thrilled about the cancetion of Cayden and Nicole''s
engagement.
I knew it. This man has always been a dominant man. How could he possibly be willing to marry for the
sake of power and money? Now that Nicole''s out of the picture, the only one left standing in my way is
Avery.
The thought of Avery took some of Wisteria''s joy away from her eyes.
Although Avery doesn''t have an identity as outstanding as Nicole, she''s far more difficult to deal with.
Still, I have time. Every woman has a weakness. I''ll eventually get rid of Avery from Cayden''s side
because the only woman who''s a match for him in this world is me.
...
When Nicole returned to the Lambert residence, she immediately locked herself in her room, ignoring
everyone. Not even ire could get her out even though she was close to breaking down her door
from the constant knocking.
ire knew that her daughter could be stubborn. Fearing that Nicole would do something foolish, she
asked William to force the door open.
Nicole''s face was colorless as she quietlyy on the bed.
She had a sharp knife aimed at her wrist, and there was already a sh there.
Blood was profusely seeping out of the wound, but it was only a light cut.
“Nickie!” ire screamed before she lunged over to snatch the knife away. Then, she spun around to
order William, “Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and get the antiseptic and bandages for
Nickie!”
William was equally pale by then. With a frown, he hurried off to find the medical kit.
She only suffered slight humiliation today, but she''s already trying to kill herself? How embarrassing will
it be if news of this spread? My daughter should be strong and proud. Even if her engagement was
called off, she should keep her chin high and live proudly. She should make the Moores regret their
decision—regret how foolish they were to have given up on her—instead of giving up on her life for a
man like this! She''s a dumb girl.
William''s heart ached for Nicole, but he was also disappointed by how frail-minded his daughter was.
“Nickie, how can you do this to yourself? What will I do if anything happens to you? I don''t want to go to
your funeral!” ire hugged Nicole tightly, her tears dripping onto Nicole''s neck. It was hot, but it could
never undo the damage done to Nicole''s heart.
Nicole was on the verge of a breakdown.
Even though ire was hugging her and crying, she was still numb. She stiffly said, “Mom, Cayden
doesn''t want me anymore. He doesn''t want me anymore...”
ire was furious to hear her daughter still thinking about that man.
For once, the mild-mannered ire felt like shouting at Nicole to snap her daughter back to her sense.
“Are you still thinking about that heartless man? If he had any feelings for you, he wouldn''t have
embarrassed you in front of so many people! Can''t you see what kind of person he is now? I told you
not to get close to him, but you refused to listen to me. Can you see that I''m right now? I was baffled by
it from the start. He had been on such great terms with Avery, so how could he have changed his mind
abruptly and wanted you to be his fiancée instead? This was his nefarious n! He''s too much!”
...

Evan though ira was hugging har and crying, sha was still numb. Sha stiffly said, “Mom, Caydan

ira was furious to haar har daughtar still thinking about that man.

it from tha start. Ha had baan on such graat tarms with Avary, so how could ha hava changad his mind
abruptly and wantad you to ba his fiancéa instaad? This was his nafarious n! Ha''s too much!”
Nicole snapped her head up, the look in her eyes vicious.
ire had never seen such a terrifying look on her sweet daughter''s face before, and that sent a chill
down her spine.
“Nickie, this won''t be over so soon. Your dad and I will definitely get justice from the Moore family,”
ire wearily said.
When Nicole turned to look at ire''s eyes, which looked so much like Avery''s, the mockery in her
smile grew.
Suddenly, tears flowed out of Nicole''s eyes uncontrobly. “Mom, you have to avenge me. Cayden
cheated my feelings! He promised to be with me, but he has been in a rtionship with Avery in the
dark. He even started living with her in secret. They''ve fooled me so terribly! He... wronged me and
humiliated me in front of the media. I''m going to make him pay. I won''t let them get together. His
rtionship with Avery is my greatest humiliation. Mom, you''re going to help me, aren''t you?”
“Mhm,” ire promised, trying to console Nicole. “I won''t let them be together. I''ll help you with
anything you want.”
“Mom, you''re the best.” With that, Nicole threw herself into ire''s arms, a wicked smile growing on
her face where ire could not see.
...
Without anyone realizing it, the inte in the mansion returned to normal, and Avery could look
through various news again.
She sighed wistfully when she saw the news about Cayden calling off the engagement in public.
She never thought that the man would do that.
Avery was worried, naturally. His actions meant that he would be in the spotlight, and it was not
necessarily good attention.
However, Cayden called and told her to be at ease. He told her to rest well and leave everything to him.
Avery was a littleforted by his words, but that ominous feeling remained in her heart.
Then, on the next day, almost all of Ackleton''s television stations were reporting the same news—
Nicole Lambert''s fate is unknown after she cut her wrists in a suicide attempt.
At the same time, the employees of the Department of Justice abruptly went to Trident Group and took
Cayden on suspicions of his involvement with a major bribery case.
