Chapter 54


    Hearing those words, Eve sneered coldly, “You want to split and set up your own shop? Fine. Let


    ra marry to Earl as his third wife. He’s taken a fancy to her. Otherwise, Jay’s going to lose an


    arm.”


    Casey’s chest tightened with anger. How could he have such a biased mother? Jay was a member


    of the Bell family; was his daughter not equally so?


    To settle the debts racked up by her grandson, Eve was actually scheming against ra.


    Casey pulled ra behind him, with a coldness he’d never shown before. “Jay gambled and lost.


    Why should my daughter pay for his mistakes? Let him lose an arm. He deserves it. Besides, my


    daughter’s already spoken for, so save your breath and leave.”


    Nancy, who had been propping up Eve and enjoying the spectacle, bristled at the slight against her


    son. “Casey, how can you speak like that? Is that any way for an uncle to behave? What’s wrong


    with marrying off your daughter to Earl? She’s been tossed aside by others already. The fact that


    the Earl doesn’t mind her past is apliment. You don’t actually believe thatn will marry her, do


    you? With a mother like hers, she’ll never set foot in the Hayes family mansion. She’s just like her


    mother, both of them are good for nothing but trouble. It’s a miracle someone wants her at all, and


    here you are, being choosy.”


    Nancy’s words were venomous, her face twisted with malice.


    ra, who had been holding back her emotions, finally exploded. She raised her arm and struck


    Nancy across the face. With a sharp ‘snap‘, the sound echoed through the hall.


    “Aunt Nancy, consider that p a lesson from Grandpa.”


    Before Nancy could react, ‘snap‘, the other cheek was struck.


    “And that one’s for me. Your son Jay tried to ruin me three years ago, and I’ve yet to settle


    that score.”


    Nancy, struck, lunged at ra like a tigress, but Anders and Chase held her back.


    Nancy started cursing wildly, “ra, you really think you’ren’s wife, huh? You think I wouldn’t dare


    hit you? I know all about you andn. It’s all an act to make Casey feel better. Casey, think about it.


    Ifn truly cared for your daughter, why wouldn’t he be here on such an important day like your


    discharge from the hospital? You’ve got some nerve, ra. I’ll tear that lying mouth of yours!”


    As Nancy struggled violently to break free and strike ra, a chilling voice suddenly cut through the


    room. “Let’s see who dares to touch her.”


    Everyone turned towards the entrance.


    There stoodn, holding a gift box, looking dashing in a sharp suit, his features striking as


    he stood in the doorway. He handed the gift box to the butler and strode towards ra. He wrapped


    her in his arms, kissed her forehead softly, and murmured, “Sorry, I was held up.”


    His gaze then shifted to Casey. “Mr. Casey, I’ve brought you a vintage ginseng. I hear it’s excellent


    for recovery. Give it a try, and if it works for you, I’ll get more.”


    Everyone in the room knew the worth of vintage ginseng. It was a luxury few could afford. Yetn


    was presenting it to Casey, a sign of his high regard.


    Nancy, frightened, slipped behind Eve for cover. Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    Just then,n’s ominous voice filled the hall. “Three years ago, ra was cornered in an alley, lured


    there so I woulde to her rescue. Who was the mastermind behind that?”
