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.
