Chapter 480

Barry suddenly remembered that Jareth had been managing the security forces of the Fairhaven Group for many years. When he had entrusted the security department to Jareth, it was merely because he thought it wasn’t a core power sector of the He wanted to give Jareth something to do, but now, his delegation of authority had become a tool to restrain him! ““I’ve already coordinated with President Ashbourne, and we have this place locked down tight.”

group.

Jareth’s eyes narrowed, a cold glint within them, “Grandpa Barry, I mean you no harm. As long as Edith pays the price for her actions, confesses and repents for her misdeeds, you’re free to walk out of here with your head held high.”

“Jareth! How dare you!” Barry’s neck veins bulged with anger.

“Who is the one really daring here?!”

Thaddeus’s eyes, bloodshot from fury, glared at Barry with the ferocity of a lion awakened from slumber, his gaze filled with murderous intent, a chilling and bloodthirsty aura erupting from him!

“Who confuses right with wrong, aiding and abetting evil? Who is it that, feeling untouchable, has repeatedly harmed my woman?! It was you, and your granddaughter, who’s worse than any beast!”

Everyone was so intimidated by the man’s overwhelming presence that they scarcely dared to breathe.

Evadne, with tears in her eyes, gazed at him with intense affection. She still loved him deeply, and still enjoyed hearing him say, “Evadne is my woman.”

Thaddeus’s throat was filled with a taste of blood, rising from his chest consumed with rage. His face was grim as frost, his muscles outlined beneath his suit as if carved from iron, extending to his clenched fists.

Anger and pain filled him with the power to destroy worlds. Before him, everything seemed fragile, ready to shatter with a single blow! “Anyone who shields Edith becomes my enemy. And I will spend my life torturing them, ensuring they live every day in agony. Don’t believe me? Try me!”

Barry had been a streetwise kid since he was a teenager, brawling for turf with rival gangs, no stranger to intimidating showdowris. Yet now, in front of this younger man, he felt his courage falter, his bluster hollow.

“Grandpa Barry, take me with you, please, Grandpa!” Edith shook Barry, who was rigid with shock, her voice choked with fear.

Could the old man really be scared of Thaddeus? It was just a few threats, and he was caving? Pathetic!

“Edith.”

Evadne, pushing through her pain, steadied herself and stepped away from her brother, moving closer to Edith.

Now surrounded, Edith, despite her hatred for Evadne and her desire to see her dead, could no longer muster her defiance, resembling nothing so much as a turtle retracting into its shell.

“I only have one question for you.”

Evadne closed her eyes, then reopened them to reveal a chilling, dark aura, “This medical report claiming I’m infertile where did you get it?”

All eyes were sharply focused on Edith’s swollen, reddened face. The young lady’s casual inquiry struck at the heart of the matter.
