Chapter 257 Chaos Had Arrived
The atmosphere was tense in the Flemingâs manor.
Magnus leaned on the sofa, listening to Axtonâs scolding with utter boredom.
âYou are a child of the Fleming family, and you are not allowed to risk your life!â Axtonâs cane hit the
ground hard, âYou promised me before, once you returned from the Lamont family, you would never get
involved in their affairs again. Yet, you even dared to take my people with you on this dangerous
adventure. Those people live on the edge of a knife, if youâre not careful, you could be silenced by
them!â
Thinking about what Magnus had done these past few days, Axton was so angry that he was puffing
his beard and glaring his eyes.
Magnus glanced up gently, lazily smiling, âItâs not a big deal, Iâve been prepared for this, we have to
face this risk eventually.â
If he hadnât come out, how could Tristen have played his cards so ruthlessly and exposed himself?
He just didnât expect that Tristen would be so heartless, directly wishing him dead, and even a death
without a whole corpse.
. The brother who had risked his life to save him had ultimately
changed.

Seeing his bad mood, Axton snapped irritably, âPeople change, do you really think the Lamont family
are saints?â
âIf it werenât for the timely arrival of the police, itâs uncertain who among you would have won or lost.â
Axton cursed harshly, and this time, Magnus didnât retort.
âThe girl from the Friedan family, I heard she was still recuperating at the Johnson familyâs place.â
Magnus pursed his lips, a faint ripple of emotion in his eyes.
âHer engagement date with Horace was set, Emerson invited us, and I accepted,â Axton warned him,
looking at him. âShe is now part of the Ferguson family, donât mess around.â
If it was only a possibility before, it is now a certainty. The engagement date has been announced.
Anyone who tries to interfere would be openly offending the Johnson family and the Ferguson family.
âNo messing around, got it?!â Axton sternly warned.
The corners of Magnusâs mouth lifted slightly, he didnât say anything more, but the clenched fist
revealed his suppressed emotions.
Engaged, still got engaged.
That day, after Horace left with her, he immediately regretted it.
She came looking for him, why didnât he just show up, hold her and tell her that he was still alive.
If she didnât like him, that would be another story, not like now, giving up without trying.
âGrandpa, she must have liked me.â
Magnus suddenly spoke.
Axtonâs breath hitched in his throat.
âShe liked me, why should I give up?â Magnusâs deep inkâblack eyes were like a deep pool, âGrandpa,
I might not be able to do what you ask.â
He couldnât do it, so he didnât mess around.
Upon hearing this, Axton suddenly started coughing, his face turning as cold as a block of ice.
âMagnus! Sheâs already someone elseâs wife!â
âYou would be morally despised like this!â
âWhy did you have to fall for someone elseâs fiancée, when there are so many other types of women
you could have liked!â
Axton wanted to curse him awake.
A fog seemed to spread across Magnusâs languid, composed face, his resolute expression as
indifferent as ever.
Axton gave up.
He knew that no one could stop what Magnus wanted to do.
Given Magnusâs current state, he could have possibly pulled off something like a marriage proposal.
***
At the entrance of Vencumfield Mall, Yvette was holding Claudiaâs hand, her steps lively.
âWhat kind of engagement gifts did you like? And wedding favors, as long as you liked them, the
general customers would like them too.â
âI donât mind the bridesmaid dress, as long as you like it.â Yvette was happy whenever she thought
about Claudiaâs upcoming good news.
Last time Claudia helped her come from Wyvernport and settle in Vencumfield, she not only found a
suitable job, but also gradually
emerged from the shadow of Everett
Everett had always been looking for her. If it hadnât been for Claudiaâs help in covering for her, her days
wouldnât have been so peaceful.
âYvette, Everett called me yesterday.â
Yvette paused, the smile on her face quickly fading, âWhat did you say?â
âI said I didnât know where you were, but he didnât believe me.
Yvette nodded calmly.
She wasnât foolish enough to believe that Everett truly couldnât see her. In all of Adron, as long as one
searched diligently, they could trace her whereabouts.
âClaudia, youâve worked hard these days, and you donât need to cover for me anymore. There has to
be an outcome for the matter between him and me,â Yvette said with a casual smile.
Speak of the devil and he shall appear, before the words had even fallen, a person was walking
towards them.
Everett.
It seemed that he had been waiting for her for a long time.
Yvette calmly made eye contact with Everett.
Everett, dressed in a white suit, was handsome and refined. The passersby, coming and going,
unconsciously cast their gaze upon him.
Upon seeing Everett, Claudia let out a small sigh.
This Everett really was a persistent ghost. Even though Yvette was avoiding him, he still managed to
find her.
She turned around and simply walked into a nearby gift shop, giving them space to talk.
Everett walked up to Yvette, gave a slight smile and said, âShall we find a place to sit?â
âNo need, I have something to do later.â Yvette frowned, âMr. Ramsey, we have no relationship
anymore, and there will be none in the future. I thought I made myself clear enough.â
âI knew you were forced to come to Vencumfield,â Everett cut to the chase, âMy mom pressured you
again.â
âNo.â Yvette interrupted him, âIt was my own decision to leave. We were wrong from the start, we canât
continue to be wrong. Everett, let me go, and let yourself go too.â
Everett looked at her indifferently, his eyes growing redder and redder.
Yvette turned around heartlessly, and the moment she turned, tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
Let it go!
Impossible things, thereâs no need to fantasize about them.
She didnât have the background and family status like Claudia, they wouldnât be happy together even if
they forced it.
Give it up, itâs better for both of us.
