Chapter 581 tant Public Disy Of Affection
“That''s not true at all, Mr. Moore! It was Avery who acted shamelessly! She took the initiative to seduce
my soon-to-be brother-inw, and that''s the only reason he fell into her trap. This kind of pretentious
and hypocritical woman is best at deceiving others, so don''t be fooled by her innocent looks!” Maria
spoke up for Sebastian at once, twisting the facts entirely.
After all, the Xenos family was a family the Reid family had been trying their best to ingratiate
themselves with. If Brittany sessfully married into the Xenos family, Reid Group''s development
would undoubtedly be propelled to greater heights.
And Maria, as the second daughter of the Reid family, would naturally enjoy an elevation in status as
well.
“Do you think I''m blind or deaf, Ms. Maria?” Cayden shot Maria a chilly look, his icy murderous gaze
striking such fear in her that she flinched.
Meanwhile, Avery chuckled angrily and red at Maria with the same frosty look. “You''re really good at
spouting lies, Ms. Maria. The father of the baby I''m carrying is both tall and handsome, the cream of
the crop among men. How could I possibly take a fancy to an uncultured pig when I''ve got him?”
Hearing her remark, Xavierughed soundlessly.
Like Mr. Moore, Ms. Rumpley''s tongue is growing increasingly sharper these days.
Sebastian, on the other hand, flushed bright red at that insult.
If this b*tch had dared demean me such in usual circumstances, I would''ve long since taught her a
lesson! Unfortunately, she''s Cayden''s woman, and I can''t do anything to her!
Conversely, Maria was not bothered in the least because she noticed that Dn had been distracted
from the moment Avery stepped into the private room, and his gaze had been fixated on thetter ever
since. Such envy inundated her that she was gripped by the urge to kill Avery.
Blinded by jealousy right then, she was determined to seize every opportunity to humiliate Avery.
She continued to vilify thetter endlessly at the side, cursing, “How could you insult my soon-to-be
brother-inw in such a manner, you b*tch? Don''t think I''m ignorant of your scandals. You started
seducing men when you were eighteen, got pregnant out of wedlock, and...”
Cayden''s eyes were cold and hard, his gaze pinned on the woman who was sick of living.
Subsequently, he threw a murderous look at the manager who apanied him there and was
standing behind him then.
Grasping his meaning, the manager waved a hand at the security personnel under hismand.
One of them, who held a roll of tape in his hand, ripped off a strip of the adhesive with a crisp tear and
stalked toward Maria with a menacing expression on his face.
“W-What are you trying to do?” Sensing danger, Maria backed away warily.
Regretfully, two security personnel restrained her on both sides and taped her mouth unceremoniously.
After doing that, they flung her to the ground expressionlessly.

Everyone in the private room was stunned by that sight.
However, no one dared to step forward and offer any objections, for Cayden''s aura was just too strong
and dangerous.
Brittany trembled slightly. Her sister''s mouth had been forcibly taped and sealed, yet she did not dare to
go over to take a look at her.
Like Grim Reaper, Cayden swept a narrowed gaze over everyone in the private room.
Some who were timider in nature even retreated several steps in terror.
In the end, his gaze again alighted on Sebastian, who wore a petrified expression. “I heard you wanted
to take her as your mistress, huh?”
Sebastian went deathly pale, and cold sweat trickled down his face. He almost peed his pants at the
utterly cial look in Cayden''s gaze.
He half-knelt on the ground tremblingly, his gaze unfocused. “M-Mr. Moore, I-I was merely j-joking with
Ms. Rumpley.”
Wrapping an arm around Avery, Cayden took a seat on the couch at the side. Like a lofty king, he
stared down at the man. “Joking? But I''ve already taken it seriously! You''re the heir of Xenos Group,
yes? I''ll have Xenos Group be history tomorrow!”
Xavier, who witnessed everything, shook his head with a sigh.
Avery is Mr. Moore''s bottom line. Isn''t that guy simply courting death to make a move against her?
Sebastian smacked himself hard across the face with his uninjured hand. “I was overly impudent, Mr.
Moore! I would never dare do it again!”
“Indeed, you should be taught a hard lesson. How about this? If you p yourself a hundred times, I
can consider sparing Xenos Group.” Cayden''s voice was t, but the authority in his words left no room
for doubt.
At that, Sebastian trembled uncontrobly. As the heir of Xenos Group, he had never experienced such
humiliation.
Nheless, at the thought of the man''s ruthless business tactics, he still did as ordered to save his
family''spany.
However, he was not forceful enough due to his fear of pain, sparking Cayden''s disdain for not having
heard any smacking sounds. Not only did thetter write off the ps he inflicted upon himself, but he
even had the nightclub''s manager personally give him a hand. That infuriated him, yet there was
nothing he could do about it.
Throughout it all, Dn merely watched indifferently from the sidelines.
Once, Cayden taught him a hard lesson because he coveted Avery, almost taking his life while at that.
Ever since then, he knew how cruel that cousin of his was.
A hundred pster, Sebastian''s face was swollen beyond recognition.
Bloody streaks and palm prints intersected, making for a terrifying sight.
Despite that, Avery did not pity him at all. Someone like him must have ruined countless girls, so it''s
good to teach him a lesson. Hopefully, he''ll remember this and practice more restraint!
Perhaps it was because she had stayed in the private room for too long, but she felt somewhat
suffocated and sensed her baby kicking frequently.
She tugged at Cayden''s sleeve. “Let''s go home first, Cayden. It''s too stuffy here.”
“Sure.” Thinking that she was feeling unwell, not only did Cayden agree, but he even domineeringly
scooped her up in a bridal carry and headed out. Before leaving, he said to Xavier, “Make the
preparations. I want to see news of a sessful acquisition of Xenos Group in the next few days!”
“Yes, Mr. Moore,” Xavier replied.
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Sebastian was so enraged that he almost burst a blood vessel. “Mr.
Moore, I know I was wrong, and I''ve already punished myself. Don''t go too far!”
s, Cayden did not even bother to spare him a look. He left with Avery in his arms. The pathetic
group of people left in the private room looked at each other.
None of them had ever imagined that Avery would turn out to be Cayden''s woman. On top of that, she
even seemed very much loved from the look of things.
Almost all of them wondered what she ever did to be so lucky.
At that very moment, however, no one noticed that Sebastian, who had copsed on the ground in a
weak heap with his face swollen to high heavens, was staring in the direction Cayden and Avery left.
That aside, his eyes glinted with a vicious gleam brimming with maliciousness.
As Cayden walked along the nightclub''s corridor with Avery in his arms, his countenance was rendered
increasingly striking and exquisite under the dim yellow lights.
He kissed Avery on the forehead indulgently. “Are you happy now?”
Tightening her hold around his neck, Avery gave him a peck in return, her kiss feather-light. “Yeah. I
was gratified to see the ssmates who once picked on me getting what they deserved, forced to keep
a leash on their fury. Cayden... thank you.”
In response, Cayden chuckled before ordering Xavier, who had been following behind him, “Go and tell
those in the private room that my wife is tired, and I''m apanying her home to rest. Assure them it''ll
be my treat today, and have them enjoy themselves.”
Following his employer''s tant public disy of affection, the corners of Xavier''s mouth twitched. He
whirled around and returned to the private room, conveying the man''s orders as instructed.
