?Chapter 359:


    Jorge’s countenance soured considerably. He was aware of his bias toward his eldest son, a sentiment shared by others, yet Ellie was the only individual audacious enough to vocalize it. A stunned silence enveloped everyone.


    Ellie’s utterance of “my husband Kaiden” enchanted Kaiden, resonating like a spell and quickening his heartbeat, rendering him unable to avert his gaze.


    Preempting others, Ellie addressed Talon, “Mr. Talon, I’m intrigued. You use us of harming Erick. Did we fabricate the information, or did we coerce Erick into falsifying it? Are you bold in deeds but timid in acknowledgment? Erick stirred trouble at my school’s anniversary. Am I not entitled to retaliate?”


    Kaiden’s gaze subtly shifted. She willingly took the me.


    Experiencing protection of this kind was a long-forgotten sensation for him—those acquainted with him deemed him too resilient to require shielding. Yet Ellie, this audacious individual, boldly stood in his defense without a moment’s hesitation.


    “You see Kaiden as part of the Thorpe family now, huh? When you utilized the Thorpe family’s funds to embellish Erick, did Kaiden cross your mind? Now, as you covet Heart Ind Resort, you suddenly recall his existence? Even beggars exhibit humility when seeking alms. Mr. Talon, your audacious demand for billions in assets is noteworthy. Do older individuals universally possess thick skin like yours?”


    “Ellie, you’re impertinent!” Talon, flushed with anger, said. “Kaiden, rein in your wife! This is not the setting for her audacity!” Kaiden cast a brief nce at Ellie.


    Ellie tensed, fearing she had crossed a line.


    Suddenly, she heard the sound of three resounding ps.


    Kaiden nonchntly apuded,mending Ellie, “Nicely articted.” Irony reached its zenith.


    Kaiden remarked, “I uncovered Erick’s fraudulent credentials purely to witness the transformation from joy to sorrow.”


    “Kaiden, you!” Talon huffed.


    “Enough!” Jorge snapped, his fury evident as he red at Ellie. “Everyone from Talon’s family, leave now.”


    ???l????v??????.c??m brings fresh updates


    Ellie, still unbothered, had brought up the question of whether older individuals had thick skin. Jorge, being the eldest in the room, wondered if Ellie was implying that he, too, had thick skin.


    “Dad, we can’t just leave things like this!” Talon insisted, refusing to back down, especially after being taunted by Kaiden and Ellie.


    “Dad is right, Grandpa!” Erick added, agreeing with his father.


    “And how do you propose we settle this?” Jorge, now visibly losing his patience, demanded. “Kaiden isn’t backing down. Do you think you can make him? Isn’t this mess your own doing?”


    Talon and Erick left the study, both feeling low and frustrated. They vented their anger privately, trying to process their defeat.


    Erick came across taunting posts about his pretensions online, along with spections on which bars would still wee him.


    “Wow, Erick got banned from both Heart Ind Bar and Rich Bar at the same time. Impressive!”


    “Why can’t he just y the part of a wealthy yet needy student? A wastrel like him doesn’t need a degree. Erick is really out here causing his own problems!”
