Chapter 314

Camille’s face turned ghostly pale in an instant, as if she’d been struck by lightning, her mind a complete blank!

She was flustered.

Lost.

Panicked.

So, the man she had just been bad–mouthing to Evadne was her master’s own brother?

She was mortified!

Thaddeus sat there, looking left and right, biting his thin lips to suppress a laugh.

But, he could somewhat understand Camille’s predicament.

After all, Evadne had so many siblings, it was normal to bump into one on the street. He too had suffered from not being familiar with the Ashbourne family dynamics, and had been tormented by her brothers!

Arnold watched as Camille’s clear and beautiful face turned from white to red, then increasingly red, like a ripe cherry.

He was a little resentful about the “sponsorship” matter, but seeing her in such an awkward yet adorable state, he couldn’t bring himself to be angry with her. “Master.”

Camille looked pitifully at Evadne, who was clearly amused, “You won’t expel me from your tutelage over this, will you?”

“Hmm.” Evadne’s slender finger rested on her chin, her brows furrowed, pretending to think it over.

“Master.” Camille’s lips trembled, on the verge of tears.

Evadne walked up to her, paused for two seconds, then suddenly revealed a brilliant smile.

“Silly girl, what are you thinking about! Such a trivial matter, and you’re worried about it? If I were to expel you from my tutelage, wouldn’t I be left with no successor?” Camille felt as if a weight had been lifted off her chest, but she was still embarrassed

“Besides, I know how good a girl you are, Camille. If you scolded my brother, it must have been his fault.” Evadne comforted her softly, casting a blameful glance at Arnold. Arnold raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat wronged, but he had no choice but to swallow his anger.

Who would have thought, this woman who crashed into his car and had the audacity to hit on him, had such a good relationship with his little sister!

He just had to accept his fate!

Just then, a bunch of people arrived, making the atmosphere lively in an instant.

Suri, Aviana, Cassius, Nydia, and Aaron, who was busy with work but was dragged over by Suri, and Jareth and Marilla had finally caught up.

Everyone came over to hug Evadne, or chat with her non–stop, the group bursting with laughter and joy

The atmosphere was festive and warm, like a big celebration, attracting the astonished glances of the guests around them.

It was like a fairy–tale scene!

Handsome men, beautiful women, and a unique scenery!

Amidst the cheery and harmonious atmosphere, Thaddeus sat alone, his melancholic eyes watching as Evadne was surrounded and loved by family and friends.
