Chapter 162

Evadne set off a domino effect using the insignificant George, leading to the total collapse of the Stirling family.

Although the Abernathy family was also affected, Thaddeus didn’t end up marrying Acacia. He was a victim in this mess too, his reputation was tarnished, becoming the talk of the town.

In the General Manager’s office.

Evadne squeezed in a couple of games, while Jason peeled grapes for her, reporting on important matters simultaneously.

“Aaron sent word that Una’s trial is about to start. So far, no lawyer is willing to defend her. The evidence is solid, and no one wants to fight this losing battle. So, a twenty year sentence is pretty much inevitable for her.”

Jason bent over to feed the translucent grape to Evadne.

She swallowed it, narrowing her eyes and licking her lips as she was impressed by the taste of it, “So sweet!”

Jason couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Aaron is too much, he could have called me himself, but had you relay the message.” Evadne sighed helplessly, feeling a bit down.

Aaron and Nydia were alike in that they both worried too much.

Aaron was only three years older than her, but his care for her from childhood was no less than her other four brothers.

“Aaron does have a bit of an inferiority complex, he can’t bring himself to spoil you openly,” Jason observed, having a clear understanding of the relationships within the Ashbourne family.

“Aaron always overthinks.”

Evadne shook her head, “In my heart, he’s no different than Ca**ius, I love and admire them all the same.”

“By the way, George is now locked up in jail. Arnold and Aaron, wanting to get back at him for you, joined forces to crack down on a few members of the underworld from gambling dens and loan shark companies. They’re locked up together with that scum.”

Jason clenched his teeth, his eyes cold, “George can take his time to repay his debts from within jail.”

Evadne chuckled, “My brothers were thoughtful, I’ll have to cook for them to thank them.”

“Also, the Stirling family’s debt is said to be almost paid off.”
