The CEO Gets What He Wants

Chapter 359

Thankfully, the middle-aged doctor was used to Aaron's antics and took things in his stride.

Otherwise, he would have been cowed by Cayden's menacing aura.

Cayden carefully rolled up Avery's sleeves to reveal her snow-white skin.

The middle-aged doctor was stunned at the sight.

He had treated countless ladies from prestigious families with superior skin quality throughout his medical career. However, Avery's was exceptionally flawless.

It would not be an exaggeration to compare her skin to be as supple as a baby's.

Apart from that, it was so mesmerizingly fair that...

“Do you still value your eyeballs?” Cayden's stony voice rang out starkly, pulling the doctor from his reverie.

The middle-aged doctor avoided meeting Cayden's horrifically murderous gaze and hastily looked down to focus on his task.

It was common for men to be possessive, especially those from affluent backgrounds who held positions of power.

The middle-aged doctor extracted a needle from his white medical kit and attached it to a syringe. His hands trembled slightly under the glacial glare of Cayden.

“If you don't stop your quivering right this instant, I swear you'll never be able to practice as a doctor again!” Cayden's threat was like a clap of thunder that sounded without any forewarning.

The middle-aged doctor shut his eyes and took several deep breaths in an attempt to steady himself.

“Stop acting like this.” Avery's thick lashes fluttered as she observed the doctor's pallor. She tugged on Cayden's sleeves, hinting at him not to go overboard.

It was only then that Cayden decided to rein in his overpowering aura as his gaze swept across the doctor coolly.

The doctor's jitters finally abated.

He raised the syringe and injected the vaccine into Avery's arm precisely.


Once it was done, the doctor took out an antiseptic and bandages. He uttered nervously, “Miss, you'd need to treat the wound on your neck timely. Otherwise, it might leave a scar.”

Avery nodded obediently.

With that, he began cleaning the wound.

The cotton bud infused with antiseptic irritated Avery's skin, making the process ridiculously excruciating.

Avery gritted her teeth and struggled to keep from crying out in pain.

The doctor was under enough stress from Cayden's intimidating supervision, and she had no intention to add to it.

Alas, her pain tolerance as a woman was too low. In the end, she succumbed to the pain by letting out an unintentional yelp.

Cayden's perfectly sculpted features darkened like an incoming storm at the sight of Avery's pain-twisted features.

His eyes froze over with a layer of inky ice, and his stare bore a hole in the doctor's face that started to bead with cold sweat.

“Doctor, I hope you'd be gentler.” Cayden's tone was rife with repressed fury.

The doctor desperately wanted to retort and swear by his name that he was being gentle enough. However, he simply couldn't bring himself to utter any words out of his mouth.

It wasn't that the doctor was too faint of heart. Cayden simply had such an unnerving effect on others.

Xander wished to roll his eyes at Cayden. “You can't behave in such a way even if your heart aches for Avery. Would you rather there be hideous scars on her neck instead of allowing the antiseptic to work its magic?”

Cayden had always been rational and intelligent. How was it then that his intelligence seemed to take a backseat whenever he was with women?

“The incident today happened at your place, Xander. I demand an explanation.” Cayden's sharp glare pierced through Xander.

“Rest assured. I promise to sniff out the culprit in no time. How unfortunate it is for Avery to go through all this.”

As the eldest son of the Gibson family, he had seen plenty of dark things even Cayden was not privy to.

He knew at a glance that the incident was a product of careful scheming. Only a fool would believe that the cat's sudden aggressive streak was merely an accident.

I wonder who the f*ck was it that dared to disturb the peace of my territory?

Xander's gaze turned glacial at that thought. Since whoever was behind this was courting death, he would gladly bestow it upon them.

“Take this cat to the labs! I want it tested!” Xander raised his chin and signaled at the dying white cat that was being held in Stephanie's arms.

Stephanie's eyes welled with tears as she stared at Xander pleadingly. “Boss, it's my fault for bringing my cat to work. I'm willing to accept any form of punishment by the company and compensate Ms. Rumpley fully for her loss. But could you please save this cat? This cat means the world to me.”

For some reason, Jacob couldn't stand Stephanie beseeching another man for help and voiced, “Let it rest, Xander. It's just a cat, anyway. What's the point of troubling a mere employee? We'll try saving it once the lab results are out.”

Xander regarded Jacob with interest.

It's unusual for him to speak up for a woman. What exactly is the reason behind his sudden change in behavior?

He then directed his attention at Stephanie and took to observing her closely.

Well, she does look quite pretty. I'm surprised that she's one of the attendants of Azure Royal.

Xander smirked. “Well, since you've made your intentions clear, Jacob, I guess I've got no choice but to save the cat.”

Stephanie gave Jacob a look of gratitude before thanking Xander profusely, “Thank you so much, Boss!”
