Chapter 520
“Jason, how could you?!”
Evadne’s mind buzzed with shock!
Had it not been for Thaddeus’s timely embrace, she would have nearly collapsed!
“Is it true?! Jason confessed to everything?” Chief Roderick’s eyes sparkled with surprise as he flipped through the
confession letter to confirm.
“Yes, Chief. It’s all there in black and white. Jason has admitted to assaulting Mr. Byron and causing him permanent
injury. He’s confessed to the charges and is ready to face the consequences:
This sudden turnaround was a windfall for the Chambers Group!
For days there had been interrogators who rotated to put pressure on him non–stop. Any regular Joe would have

So why on earth had he suddenly spilled the beans?
What had happened to make him change his mind?
“Evadne, are you alright? Thaddeus, seeing his lady’s face drain of color, held her rigid waist even tighter, feeling
his heart aching for her
“Jason didn’t do it. Why would he confess?!”
Evadne’s eyes reddened with anger and pain as she shook her head in disbelief, “Has he lost his mind? You don’t
just confess to something like this! Is he so eager for a taste of prison food?!”
“Exactly. You don’t just confess to something like this?
Cedric squinted his eyes with a sly grin, teasing “Jason, as a top graduate from Elmsworth Law School, knows this
better than anyone Ms. Evadne, why are you getting involved? What’s the fuss?”
Evadne felt as if her heart had been stabbed and was throbbing with pain,
In an instant, a lightning bolt of realization struck her, and everything made sense

There was no sign of familial warmth, but a palpable and hostile stand–off.
“Jason, look at yourself. What a mess you’ve made
Cedric shook his head in mock dismay as he surveyed him, if mom and dad knew that you were facing years behind
bars for the daughter of the Ashbourne family’s mistress, they’d be heartbroken How unfilial are you!”
“Didn’t your masters keep you on a leash? You scampered over here to bark the moment they took their eyes off

“Ha! Then let’s talk about something less nauseating something you’re interested in
Cedric pulled out his phone, loaded up a video, and pushed it slowly towards Jason. Take a look. What’s this?”
Upon hearing this, Jason frowned and lifted his eyelids to glance at the screen.
The next second, his eyes widened in shock, and he shot up, slamming his fist on the table. “Cedric What the hell
are you trying to do?!”
The video showed the scene from the party where Evadne and Thaddeus burst in. What happened afterward was
self–explanatory.
Then there was a clip of Cassius dealing with Byron, who by then had been beaten to a pulp and dragged along by
President Ashbourne like a sack of potatoes. It was all clearly captured on camera
