Chapter 473

Having been made to feel slighted by Byron’s inappropriate advances, Nydia didn’t dare to confide in her father or her elder brother. With a flushed face holding back tears, she hurriedly left the bustling banquet hall,

As she moved through the crowd, she was bumped by a waiter.

Suddenly, she felt a sting on her arm, like the prick of a bee, but the pain quickly faded.

“Oh, I’m terribly sorry, Miss,” the waiter quickly apologized.

“It’s okay.”

Nydia didn’t think much of the incident and quickly walked away.

The waiter watched her leaving, with a smirk on his face.

The evening breeze gently ruffled Nydia’s soft hair, as she stood alone on a deserted balcony, gazing at the chilling moonlight and quietly wiping away her tears.

If only Jason were here, he wouldn’t have let her suffer the slightest grievance or injustice.

But she had made up her mind to endearingly let go; from now on, Jason would no longer be a part of her life.

So, should she make one last call to him, to say everything that needed to be said, to bring closure to it all?

After much contemplation, Nydia, enduring the acute pain in her heart, tremblingly turned on her phone.

The signal connected. And in an instant, countless missed call alerts and messages flooded her screen.

Jason had never stopped trying to reach her. His every word was filled with deep emotion.

Nydia clutched at the stifling ache in her chest, where her heart seemed to be broken into pieces. She bit her lips bitten until they bled, unable to stop the steady stream of tears.

“Jason. I don’t want to be apart from you.”

Suddenly, her tear–blurred vision darkened, and her body swayed dangerously, and she began to falter.

“Nydia, what’s wrong?”

A voice of concern reached her. Nydia’s mind was muddled, and buzzing noises filled her ears.

The next moment, she was harshly pulled by someone into a tight embrace.

She could even feel the intrusive hand caressing her shoulder inappropriately.

“Who are you, Don’t touch me!”

Nydia’s body shivered, and although she tried to struggle, she found herself without the strength to do so, her eyes filling with tears of panic

“Heh, don’t be nervous, relax,” the man said with a sinister laugh, his lips brushing against the cheek he’d long coveted. “I’ll take good care of you.”

Meanwhile, Cassius acted as President K, playing the role of negotiator amongst the privileged elites.

While he was still mingling with the guests, a bodyguard who had been following Ms. Nydia came running over, sweating profusely, and pulled Cassius aside.

“Bad news, President Ashbourne. Ms. Nydia is missing!”

Cassius felt his heart tightened with worry, his handsome face darkened. “How could that be? With such high security here, and you tailing her every move, how could my sister just disappear?”
