Chapter 518
Evadne’s eyes widened; she fixed her gaze on the man’s striking and chiseled profile. Nothing was heard on the
other end of the line, except for the faint sound of sobbing. “What’s the matter? One of you is giving me the stink
eye, and the other’s gone mute.”
Thaddeus cracked a half–smile, reached out, and playfully pinched Evadne’s cheek. “Are you sisters not going to
draw straws to see who trusts me first?” “No, it’s not that.”
Nydia spoke up first, her voice low and filled with gratitude. “Thank you for agreeing to help Jason, really, thank
you.”
“You don’t have to mention it; that’s what a family is for after all.”
After calming Nydia’s emotions, Thaddeus ended the call and immediately ordered Gordon, “Turn around, head to
the station.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGordon promptly complied, spinning the steering wheel in a swift U–turn.
“Thaddeus, what’s your plan?” Evadne asked, her gaze laced with worries as she studied his serene features.
“No matter what the plan is, we’ve got to get Jason out first.”
Thaddeus sighed, intertwining his fingers with hers and tightening his grip gently. “It’s been tough enough for those
two lovebirds already. I don’t want them to go through any more turmoil; I can’t bear to see them get hurt.”
Evadne’s breath hitched slightly. “You really empathize with them, don’t you?”
The man shook his head with a sense of release, pulling her into a deep embrace. “I might have once, but not

Jason had been held in the dingy confines of a detention center for two weeks. The Chambers Group refused to
settle the matter, and it seemed he might be stuck there even longer.
Despite this, he would never betray the young lady or Mr. Thaddeus.
Even if prison awaited him after a fierce struggle, he would still stand firm and reveal nothing.
At the moment, Jason leaned against the wall to conserve his energy, with arms crossed and eyes closed.
Across from him, a few men huddled in the corner, watching him with wary eyes and whispering among
themselves.

“Hey, you’re being too loud, Jason said with a cold voice, not opening his eyes. “If you don’t want a beating, shut it.”
The detained men immediately clamped their mouths shut, trembling with fear and sitting there as silent as mice.
Jason exhaled a sigh, his expression a mix of sadness and resignation.
Ever since his first night in the detention center, he hadn’t had a moment’s peace.
These bottom feeders were sent by the Chambers family to “look after” him. But they hadn’t anticipated his ability–
each who attempted to intimidate him ended up with receiving his swift and decisive kicks.
Shaking his head, he couldn’t believe the Chambers Group underestimated him so much that they should send such
inept thugs as if he were a pushover. Perhaps this was a test; if he ended up in prison, he’d likely handle himself just

Unbeknownst to Jason, Evadne and Thaddeus were already storming the police station.
The Chambers family, cunning as ever, knew that Aaron, the police chief, was connected to the Ashbourne family.
To prevent any interference, they had Jason detained at Elmsworth Police Station, where Chief Roderick had close
ties with the Chambers clan.
Hearing that the Ashbourne heiress and the Abernathy Group CEO were arriving, Chief Roderick turned on high
alert and immediately contacted
Matthew.
“Mr. Chambers, Evadne and Thaddeus are waiting in the reception room. What should I do?”
“What to do? Do as you’re told,” Matthew spat through clenched teeth. “You’ve got the Chambers Group backing
you. Are you scared of them? This is your chance to climb the ranks, Chief Roderick. Stand your ground, regardless
of their pressure, and make sure Jason doesn’t walk out the prison! We need to pin this assault and battery charge
