His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 663

Suri was utterly shocked, her hand numb and suspended in mid–air.

That slap, unreserved, landed solidly on Cassius‘ face.

With tears welling in his eyes, Chasel gazed at the man who had stepped in to shield him, feeling his heart pounding so fiercely it threatened to burst out of his chest.

“Cassius!”

“Suri, please don’t hit Chasel. It’s not his why

it’s all mine.”

The air in the hallway seemed to freeze at that moment.

Facing the overwhelming pressure, Cassius‘ composure only made the situation more heart–wrenching. “For me, for the Ashbourne family, he’s taken too many blows already. From now on, I don’t want him to suffer even a bit more. I’ll do everything I can to protect him.”

Everyone was astounded!

Chasel hung his head low, moved yet filled with a deeper, more painful sense of guilt and self–reproach.

From a young age, his grandfather and aunt told him that he was the future hope of the Bright family, that he should be a man who stands tall and upright.

But the truth was, he who was supposed to stand tall and upright had instead only brought trouble to his loved one, causing him endless problems.

What kind of man was he?

“Cassius, you said Chasel took a beating? What do you mean?!” Evadne’s heart tightened sharply.

“Chasel has been in a bad state since he ran away from the Bright family.”

Cassius, recalling the cruel, swollen scars on Chasel’s fair skin, he clenched his trembling fists, “Hearing of father’s illness, he didn’t want to delay a second and came over despite his condition, to treat father.”

Suri’s gaze suddenly sharpened with concern, “The Bright family used family discipline on him?!”

“Cassius, stop talking.”

Chasel tugged at the hem of his shirt, shaking his head with a voice so faint it was nearly inaudible, “Stop, it’s all in the past. You don’t need to explain anything for me.”

It seemed to be true.

Suri shivered and staggered backward.

Having come from the Bright family herself, she knew all too well the fearsome nature of the Bright family’s discipline.

And now, with their secret relationship exposed, the Bright family might very well beat him to death!

Suddenly, the door to the examination room swung open.

Emeric, seated in a wheelchair, was pushed out by Mr. Dylan, facing the stunned crowd.

His face was still weak from the recent medical emergency, but he sat upright determinedly, refusing to let his children see him in a state of decline.

“Dad!” The Ashbourne siblings were torn between concern and fear.

With their father’s appearance, it was clear he knew everything about Cassius and Dr. Bright.

They feared their father’s wrath and disappointment toward their brother.

But what they feared more was that this might aggravate their father’s Illness, his body really couldn’t endure any more blows!

“Dad.”

tightened his grip on Chasel’s arm, pulling him behind for protection.
