Chapter 233
The auction came to a dramatic close filled with unexpected twists and turns.
it wasnt just the record breaking sum of charity raised by Ethereal Vogue magazine that evening. The reporters on the scene were having a field day, unearthing one juicy scoop after
another
Frederic, upon hearing the news, promptly dispatched his secretary and attorney to the scene. They escorted Elspeth and the visibly shaken Glynnis to the car amidst the crowds scrutinizing gazes.
It was apt to describe their ext as a hasty retreat
1 am the legal counsel for the Abernathy Group, Miss Caroline if you don’t have concrete evidence to back up your public accusation of Miss Glynnis bribing you to steal K Hotel’s business information, we wit sue you for defamation. And we will take it to the end!” The lawyer issued a stern warning before leaving
Caroline, faced with the prospect of a lawsuit and up against the formidable Abernathy Group, was naturally frightened. But what scared her more was Thaddeus intimidating presence. He was a man who could turn her world upside down with a single thought.
Right now, he was standing there, his handsome brows furrowed, watching her without a hint of emotion
Caroline flinched but managed to muster up the courage to retort, 1. I wouldn’t have said it if i didn’t have evidencel Don’t think I’m scared just because you’re rich and powerfull
I’ve changed my ways now, and I won’t be coerced into doing something against my conscience ever again!”
“Mr Thaddeus, what should we do about this “The lawyer turned to Thaddeus, clearly at a loss
Thaddeus expression remained impassive, his tone icy. “Tell Mr. Frederic that his opponent isnt Miss Caroline, but the entire K Orld Hotel

Evadne was the heiress of the Ashbourne family. If this situation escalated, they would be offending the entire Ashbourne Group!
The Chairman Emeric, CEO Cassius Ashbourne, and the Bright family none of them were pushovers It was truly a case of stirring up a hornet’s nest “Apologize when you should, take responsibility when you must. Distorting the truth and aiding the wicked will only make us the laughing stock.” Thaddeus sneered, and then turned to look for Evadne
To his surprise, she had already disappeared. Once again, his warm heart was left in the cold.
Ins had other important engagements to attend to. Evadne accompanied her to the underground parking lot.
“Miss Evadne, you truly impressed me tonight”
this gave her a warm hug. 1 knew Cassius sister wouldn’t disappoint.”
“That’s because you see me through the lens of being Cassius’ sister, Evadne smiled modestly
“No, from the moment I met you, I admired your demeanor, your ideas, and your perspectives. I believe we could be great friends,” Iris confessed sincerely
“Um Cant we be great family?” Evadne teased.
tris blushed at the implied suggestion, “Darling, I’m turning fifty next year. As much as I adore Cassius. I can’t hold him back
