Chapter 560


    Chapter 560 Innocent


    The atmosphere felt tense.


    Yulissa wished for the ground to open up and swallow her whole when she saw Cayden appear.


    However, she had nowhere to run. She summoned all her courage and said defensively, “Mr. Moore, I


    really saw Avery cheating. I was seated behind her, and I saw it clearly with my own eyes...”


    “Really?” Cayden stared daggers at Yulissa. She trembled with fear under his eyes.


    At their engagement party, Avery humiliated Cayden and his family. Yulissa had assumed that after


    such an incident, coupled with the gossip and rumored engagement between Cayden and Wisteria,


    Cayden would be done with Avery.


    Yulissa thought that Avery had left Ackleton because she had not seen Avery with Cayden in a long


    while.


    In fact, it was Wisteria who had been by Cayden''s sidetely.


    She had even caught the two of them going out for dinner on several asions. All these incidences


    had led her to assume that Wisteria had reced Avery''s position in Cayden''s life. However, she had


    been sorely mistaken.


    Seeing how worried Cayden was about Avery, it was clear that she had not fallen out of favor with him.


    This realization made Yulissa feel even more resentment and jealousy toward Avery.


    She could not understand what it was that Cayden loved so much about Avery.


    Aren''t rich men always fickle-hearted, always seeing multiple women at once, always ying around


    withoutmitting to anyone? Don''t they get bored of a woman after a while and then


    unceremoniously dump her without even a second thought? Why isn''t Mr. Moore like that?


    “Miss, we hold strongly to the principles of fairness and justice here. We would never punish an


    innocent person. We would also not tolerate any false usations!” Liam dered, smiling kindly at


    Avery, but when he turned to Yulissa, his expression was indecipherable.


    Yulissa was annoyed by Liam''s words. “Why are you staring at me like that? I did not falsely use


    her!”


    I must stand by what I''ve initially said! How else can I exin myself?


    Cayden embraced Avery. He lowered himself slowly onto the couch and stared at Yulissa with steely


    eyes. “Ms. Yantz, you should be careful with your words. Thew doesn''t just punish cheaters but also


    those who falsely use anyone of cheating. Yes, you heard me correctly. You will also be punished


    for making a false usation.”


    Yulissa broke out in cold sweat, and her entire body was trembling in fear.


    She knew better than anyone what Cayden was capable of.


    Even if Avery had really cheated, Cayden could have easily intervened and ensured that Avery got


    away with her wrongdoing.


    The truth was that Avery had not cheated. Yulissa had framed her, which made her guilty of making a


    false usation of cheating.

    Yulissa calmed herself down. I''ve already framed Avery. Even if I were to change my stand now and


    say that my eyes were mistaken, this would not end well... The inspector would see right through it and


    know that I had falsely used Avery of cheating! Anyway, look at how worried Mr. Moore is about


    Avery! It''s impossible for me to continue working at Trident Group at this point. I''ll stand by my


    usation! I''ll die on this hill if I have to!


    Once Yulissa had made up her mind, sheposed herself and went on insisting, “She was cheating,


    Mr. Moore! I''m not lying! Avery, don''t you dare think that just because you''ve got support, you''d be able


    to escape thew!”


    Cayden''s steely stare pierced right through Yulissa, making her skin crawl.


    He suddenly smiled and said, “Well, Ms. Yantz, you are truly bold.”


    Yulissa did not dare to meet Cayden''s eyes. His hard stare was making her shrink in fear.


    At that moment, Xavier appeared.


    He was not surprised to see all of them, especially Avery, gathered in the office. He had already heard


    of the entire story.


    Xavier hurried over to Cayden''s side and greeted him with a nod. “Good day, Mr. Moore.”


    “Mr. Langdon, please give Mr. Dartsley here a copy of the information of all the candidates in the


    examination room, including their contact information,” Cayden instructed firmly.


    “Sure, no problem at all, Mr. Moore!” Liam said in a flustered voice.


    Cayden wrapped his arm around Avery''s shoulder and cast a cold nce at Liam and the other


    examiners. “She''s in frail health, and besides, she''s with child. Since it''s gettingte, I''ll take her home


    first. I trust that won''t be a problem.”


    “No problem! No problem at all! We should be considerate of our candidates. Since Ms. Rumpley here


    is pregnant, please feel free to leave anytime!” Liam said with a greasy smile.


    Cayden emanated such a dominating aura that he could not bear it any longer. It was too


    overwhelming. He wanted Cayden to leave as soon as possible.


    Cayden lifted Avery''s frail body in his arms and moved toward the door, leaving Xavier to deal with the


    matter on his own.


    As Cayden and Avery were leaving, Evangeline, who had been standing in a corner, suddenly spoke


    up. “Don''t worry, Avery. I''m sure Mr. Moore will prove your innocence. If necessary, I''ll also testify on


    your behalf. You can call me anytime...”


    Cayden paused in his steps. His sharp eyes fell on Evangeline.


    Evangeline took a step back, retreating from his intense gaze. She smiled and nodded at him sweetly.


    Cayden frowned.


    “Cayden, this is Evangeline. She was the one who contacted you. She witnessed everything...” Avery


    wrapped her arms around Cayden''s neck. Her voice was low and weak, but her eyes shone with


    gratitude for Evangeline.


    Cayden''s dark eyes flickered with understanding. He called out to Xavier, “I''ll leave matters to you. Do


    what needs to be done in regards to this youngdy.”


    Xavier nodded in understanding.


    Evangeline was ted. She suppressed her excitement. What a great day! Working in Trident Group is


    my dream!


    However, the recruitment process of Trident Group was notoriously strict. It would be difficult for her to


    win a ce in that multinationalpany with her educational background and qualifications.


    Who would''ve thought that because of this exam, I might actually get a good opportunity with Trident


    Group?


    In the car, Cayden wrapped his arm around Avery''s waist and gently kissed her eyelids. “Are you still


    upset? Silly girl.”


    Avery replied in a soft voice, “I was scared to death today. I really did not cheat! Yet, I was used of


    cheating... Did you know how quiet the whole examination room was? No one believed me! I felt so


    helpless! I don''t think I''ll ever forget that moment...”


    Cayden pulled her closer to him.


    His eyes shone like stars in the night sky, full of concern for the woman he loved. “Even if the whole


    world suspects you of cheating, I will still believe in your innocence. Don''t worry. I''ll take care of this for


    you.”


    I won''t let anyone who hurts Avery get away with it! That Yulissa really needs to be punished!


    Cayden''s intense eyes met Avery''s. Hers were filled with tears.


    The intimacy and vulnerability between them at that moment made Avery flush.


    Cayden''s love and affection touched her heart. Her life seemed to bloom ever more beautifully with him


    in it. Even if she had to walk through bushes of thorns, she felt no pain because he was by her side.


    It''s so good to have him here, by my side!
