Chapter 156
The scandal involving Mrs. Stirling and Acacia blew up on the internet in no time, causing quite a
ruckus!
No longer was Twitter buzzing about Thaddeus and Acacia’s engagement, but about Acacia’s
daughter. Una, being suspected of murder.
The chaotic scenes from the birthday party leaked online, showing Acacia losing her cool, causing a
scene, and even her dress accidentally falling off, leaving her half-naked in front of everyone. It spread
like wildfire online, just like a soap opera!
On Twitter, Acacia was being ridiculed and bashed by the public.
Many netizens couldn’t tolerate Acacia’s actions, abandoning her daughter to climb the social ladder.
Some even started a petition, demanding Acacia to be held legally accountable for her actions.
“She doesn’t even recognize her own daughter, left her overseas and never checked in on her. Can
she even be considered human? Even dogs protect their own pups, Acacia is worse than a dog!”
“Don’t compare her to dogs. She was not worthy to compare to cute dogs!”
“Did I hear right? Thaddeus divorced because he cared for Acacia? That is unbelievable.”
“Thaddeus has got some horrible taste! Even though I’ve never met his ex-wife, I’m sure any woman is
better than Acacia!”
“His ex-wife is better than Acacia? Huh, that’s a baseless insult!”
“Thaddeus and Acacia grew up together? Even that kind of romance is problematic!”
“Hahahaha, I can’t stop laughing! This is pure gold! Are there any directors out there willing to turn this
into a TV drama? I’d love to watch it!”
Trashing someone’s reputation didn’t seem that hard.
Perhaps only the Ashbourne family knew that from discovery to exposure, it was all carefully planned.
They pushed Acacia from a high pedestal to a low valley, with Evadne meticulously plotting each step.
She was always the most patient one, rarely did she take any action.
But once she did, she ensured her enemies never had a chance to rise again!
At this moment, the entrance of Abernathy Hotel was jam-packed with curious onlookers, reporters,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtand cop cars.
When Una appeared before them, she was pale and could barely stand, having to be dragged into a
police car by two officers.
Many people had never seen an arrest before and excitedly uploaded videos of it on TikTok.
Across the street, inside a Rolls-Royce, Cas sius Ashbourne and Arnold, having helped Evadne with
everything, slowly rolled up the car window.
“I was going to ask you to hire some netizens to hype up the topic about the mother and daughter of
the Stirling group, but it seems that’s not necessary, the netizens are very enthusiastic about this topic!”
Arnold was looking at the harsh.comments about Acacia on Twitter, his clear eyes full of mischief.
“Hmm?”
Cas sius was about to take a sip of his coffee when he heard that and paused, his eyes showing slight
reproach, “Arnold, you’re a good man in many ways, but this stinginess of yours, can you change it a
bit?”
“Are you, Emeric Ashbourne’s son, going to make me pay for a few netizens? A few million dollars
should be the same as one dollar to you, right?”
“You’re calling me stingy?! I’ve always been wholeheartedly devoted to Evadne, giving my all. When
have I ever shown any stinginess?” Arnold’s eyes widened, looking
somewhat displeased.
“Yes, besides Evadne, I’ve never seen you be generous to anyone else.”
Cas sius sipped his coffee elegantly, continuing to tease him, “Isn’t this time for Evadne too?”
Arnold squinted his eyes and smiled, “Isn’t this something we both accomplished together? You took
care of the outside, I handled the inside, and you contributed the most. How could I steal your credit?
Besides, you’re older than me, it’s only natural you take care of me! Plus, my salary isn’t much, could
you take care of me a bit?”
Cas sius laughed helplessly and gave him a pat on the back, “You’ve become smarter over the years
as a prosecutor.”
Arnold scratched his head, about to take out his phone when it conveniently rang,
“What a coincidence, I was just about to contact Aaron and he called me!”
Arnold quickly answered the call, asking with a smile on his face, “Aaron, how are things on your end?”
“Arnold, I’ve sent someone to arrest Una, and the person who hurt Evadne, I’ll bring them back to the
station too.”
Aaron’s unique h o ar se voice came from the other end, filled with anger as he continued to say, “Don’t
worry, I won’t let that ba stard get off easy!”
Suri Bright Ashbourne had two sons and a daughter.
Hubery Waverley was the chief pilot;
Daryl Ashbourne married into the country Helgen, and she was a councilwoman’s wife and potentially
the future First Lady in Helgen.
As for Aaron, he had always wanted to be a cop to fight crime since he was just a kid. Now, he had
achieved his dream, becoming the captain of the Elmsworth first detective squad.
“Right, right! Beat him, so he can’t commit crimes anymore!”
Arnold’s excitement was also ignited by Aaron, punching the car window heavily, “Can’t the police use
some special means during interrogation? Prosecutors don’t have that power, do they? Don’t miss this
chance to get back at him for Evadne!”
Cas sius found it all very helpless listening to this.
The Ashbourne family’s girls were all cla**y and refined.
But the boys, they were all tough, always ready to fight and kill, even more so than himself who had
been in the underworld.
Cas sius, Arnold and Aaron teamed up.
Whoever they target was bound to be doomed!
Thaddeus, in a rush to go to the hospital to accompany Mr. Hamiltion, left his car at the front gate, not
caring about anything else and sprinted to the hospital. Jareth couldn’t help going along with him and
see what was happening.
Mr. Hamiltion was the only one Thaddeus could lean on in the Abernathy family.
It was Mr. Hamiltion who truly cared about him, treating him as family.
Thaddeus ran like the wind, his throat h oa rse, muttering Mr. Hamiltion’s name in a low voice over and
over again.
As he burst into the corridor, he saw Evadne sitting on a bench holding Marilla. The scene was so
peaceful and beautiful, it was like a delicate oil painting.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe lowered her eyelashes calmly, gently caressing the girl in her arms. Her expression was serene
and peaceful, radiating a holy and bright aura around her.
She seemed to possess tremendous power, always appearing like an angel whenever someone
needed her help.
Suddenly, a wave of guilt hit him.
Thank G od she was there.
Hearing footsteps, Evadne lifted her eyes, looking at Thaddeus.
In that brief moment of confusion, a long-lost warmth emerged in her clear eyes, sending a jolt through
his heart.
Unfortunately, that warmth was fleeting, and Evadne’s gaze became cold and indifferent again.
“Is Ms. Acacia’s birthday party over? You left everything behind to rush over here, Mr. Thaddeus. Is that
really okay?”
She didn’t say anything rude, but Thaddeus felt as if he had been humiliated.
He walked slowly towards her, his eyes full of regret.
Evadne lowered her eyes, wishing she could shut down all her senses to resist him, “Mr. Hamiltion is
asleep; Mr. Murray is taking care of him. You can stay outside for now, let Mr. Hamiltion get some rest.”
“Evadne… I’m sorry.” Thaddeus was emotional as he apologized to her, his voice husky,
“Sorry for whom? Sorry for me?”
Evadne said mockingly, “Thaddeus, the one you should be sorry for is Mr. Hamiltion lying inside, who
just came back from the brink of death. Why are you apologizing to me? We have nothing to do with
each other.
Mr. Hamiltion was kind to you, so I hope you can spare some time to accompany him in his time of
need. I just happened to be here this time, but what about next time? Mr. Hamiltion won’t always be this
lucky, life won’t always give him another chance.”
After saying that, she felt a twinge of pain in her heart, took a deep breath, her eyes reddening as she
continued to say, “I just wish… wish I could stay with Mr. Hamiltion all the time, taking care of him.”
“Evadne…” Thaddeus was full of bitterness, unable to speak properly.
His apology was worthless in her eyes, it had lost all meaning.
“Thad!”
Jareth rushed in at that moment, first gave Evadne a puzzled look, and then said in a deep voice,” Step
outside for a moment. I need to talk to you!”
