Chapter 481

“President Ashbourne.”

Thaddeus’s voice was as raspy as if a steamroller had passed over his throat, barely audible.

“Thaddeus!”

Cassius glared with bloodshot eyes, his chest ablaze with fury, like a wild beast charging straight at Thaddeus, who stood frozen in place!

Thaddeus saw the fierce blow aimed at his cheek coming; but he didn’t move a muscle. Hit him, that what he deserved. Even if Cassius beat him to death, he wouldn’t utter a word of complaint.

“Cassius! Stop!”

Just as Cassius’s fist was inches away from the man’s face, Chasel appeared in the nick of time, throwing his arms around him from behind in a tight embrace!

“Let go,” Cassius hissed, his lips bleeding, his heart dripping blood.

“I won’t!”

Chasel’s arms trembled around his sturdy waist as he shouted breathlessly, “What’s the point of hitting him?! Will beating him bring back what Evadne has lost?!”

“But he deserves to die!”

Cassius’s cheeks shivered with rage, his powerful body struggling fiercely, tears that had been held back now escaping uncontrollably, “Why doesn’t he just die? My sister can’t have children anymore! She’s only twenty–five and she’s lost the chance to be a mother forever! It’s all thanks to you, Thaddeus, why don’t you just die?!”

Why didn’t he just die? Yes, he truly deserved death.

Thaddeus felt like a clay doll, drained of blood and spirit, his features defeated and ashen.

Chasel noticed how wretched he looked. Thaddeus’s short hair was dripping wet, droplets tracing down his pale, once handsome

cheeks.

His finely tailored suit was soaked through, the hem of his trousers and his shoes caked in mud. It was a sorry sight.

It had started raining when Evadne was taken away by her father. Thaddeus had chased after the Ashbourne family’s car in the pouring rain for miles, yet in the end, he hadn’t even caught a glimpse of Evadne.

“I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, all my fault.”

He muttered over and over, a lost soul, “All my fault.I am to blame. I’m sorry.”

“Thaddeus, do you have any idea how much Evadne loves children. How much she wanted to have a kid with you?!”
