Chapter 246
Thaddeus delivered his statement with a thunderous voice, then strode off, leaving the room with his head held high.
Cedric remained motionless where he stood, his body flushed with a cold sting of embarrassment.
Born into a prominent family of lawyers, he was always held in high regard by his parents and adored by his younger siblings. He was well respected among the legal fraternity of Elmswort

Cedric scowled, turning to look at Thaddeus‘ retreating figure.
What was the nature of his relationship with Evadne? And why was Thaddeus, a man known for his reserved nature, so enraged on her behalf?
He knew Evadne, the Ashbourne family’s precious gem. She was a woman of celestial beauty, set high above the common folk. She had the world at her fingertips, yet she barely paid any mind to the average man.
There was only one possibility. Thaddeus, the illegitimate child, was infatuated with the Ashbourne family’s precious gem!
Even if he was handsome and cunning, so what?
His mother had never been given any social standing, and his prestigious position as CEO was simply a handout from the Abernathy Group’s heir!

With a cold glance, Cedric walked into the mansion.
