?Chapter 609:


    Monica shook her head in disbelief. No wonder these fools believed Cathy was Helena’s protégé.


    Cathy motioned for her people to close in around Elena. She turned to Kason and said, “Kason, I swear this time it’s not my fault. She stole the judge’s pass and disrupted thepetition. I have no choice but to remove her to prevent further problems.”


    Though Cathy imed she wanted to remove Elena, her real intent was far more malicious—she nned to tie her up and physically punish her.


    As Cathy finished her usation, all eyes turned to Kason.


    His brows furrowed slightly, his expression somber.


    Growing impatient with his silence, Cathy stamped her foot and pleaded, “Kason, why do you stand by and watch others bully me? This time, it’s not my fault. You can’t just intervene!”


    In Cathy’s mind, Elena had already made a move on Wesley, and now she was setting her sights on Kason as well.


    Determined to make Elena regret her actions, Cathy plotted not only to scar Elena’s face but also to break her hands, ensuring she could never show off again.


    Kason remained silent, his gaze shifting toward Elena.


    Elena stoodposed and erect, her expression serene, showing no trace of remorse or fear.


    Kason swallowed before speaking, his voice steady. “Is there any proof that Elena actually stole the pass?”


    “Isn’t the situation obvious enough? Kason, are you really going to side with her?” Cathy retorted quickly, frustration clear in her tone.


    Cathy was heartbroken. Her own brother had chosen to side with the cunning Elena, which felt like a deep betrayal. What made Elena so special? Was it just her beauty? Why did everyone seem so eager to help her?


    Cathy dered, “I don’t care. Elena needs to be expelled. If you side with her, I’ll tell Grandpa you’re treating me unfairly!”


    Though Cathy usually feared her brother, today she was resolute, determined to defeat Elena.


    Yvette interjected, “Mr. Garrett, don’t be fooled by Elena. She has mastered the art of deceit.”

    Having said this, Yvette caught Kason’s stern look and shuddered at the coldness in his eyes.


    Cathy fixed Kason with a determined re, her face radiating defiance.


    Kason’s brow furrowed. “We should fully investigate before making any decisions.”


    “No!” Cathy responded firmly.


    To Cathy, Kason was clearly trying to protect Elena. Anger and a sense of injustice surged within her, fueling her growing hatred.


    “Kason Garrett,” Kason said, his voice deep as he used her full name.


    Cathy’s heart skipped a beat. When Kason used her full name, it usually meant trouble. Yet, she stood her ground, convinced she was right this time.


    Amid the deadlock between the siblings, a man in his fifties, d in a traditional suit, made a swift entrance.


    Franco promptly acknowledged him with respect. “Mr. Dixon, good to see you.”


    Cathy turned to Kason and said, “You wanted a thorough investigation, right? Albert has just arrived! As vice president of the Jewelry Design Association, he’s in charge of judge credentials. He’ll confirm whether Elena really is a judge.”
