His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 648

As the towering figure of Cassius stood, fim as an oak, Chasel knew he’d recognize him even if he were reduced to ashes

Chase’s blood pumped furiously, concentrating in his trembling heart as he gripped the balcony railing, his body leaning out as if he were about to leap.

Such a remarkable presence, the magnetic pull straight to his heart it could be no one else but Cassius.

“Cassius! Cassius” Chasel’s voice tore through the air in a desperate shout.

But alas, the distance was too great. A gust of wind picked up, and with Chasel already weakened from serious injuries, his feeble cries were swept away before they could reach Cassius.

“Cassius! Are you deaf?! Look back! I’m right behind you.”

His last words fractured into a hoarse whisper, barely audible.

Chasel watched, eyes wide, as Cassius got into a black sports car that roared to life and disappeared into the night.

“Bastard! Why couldn’t you just wait a little longer for me?!”

As if his soul had been drained, Chase slumped to the ground, gasping for air as tears streamed down his face, “Cassius, why couldn’t you wait, let me go with you.”

Late at night, in the study.

Zachary was on the phone with York, updating him on Chasel’s situation,

Upon hearing that Chasel had been disciplined, York was clearly displeased. Although he refrained from lashing out, his tone was far from gentle.

“Chasel’s reputation in neurology is impeccable; even I’ve heard of his achievements, you’re telling me you haven’t?”

Zachary clenched his teeth, “Of course, I’ve heard of him, Dad. But what Chasel did, breaking the family code, disregarding the dignity of the Bright Group, is infuriating. If I don’t punish him severely, who’s to say he won’t commit more follies in the future and bring ridicule upon us?”

York couldn’t help coughing, his voice hardened, “If you insist on punishing him, you could have disciplined him in other ways. There was no need to harm him physically.

In our Bright family, we have only Warner and Chasel as the next generation. Warner, now groomed to be a businessman, has given up on medicine. And I haven’t stepped into an operating room in over a decade, focusing on managing our

pharmaceuticals, biological institutes, and hospitals, thriving in the business world. Now, the only one who can truly carry on my legacy is Chasel. If you cripple him, the Bright Group will truly be without a successor and can no longer be called a dynasty in medicine.”
