Chapter 440
Chapter 440:
“It’s no trouble at all. We were just about to play dice. Would you care to join us? Ellie was quite good at it. Why don’t you give it a try?” Edwin offered.
Theo glanced sideways at Edwin and covered his mouth to keep himself from laughing.
Ellie was already Kaiden’s wife, but Edwin was still working so damn hard to stand up for her. It was cute and pitiful at the same time. Jerome joined the conversation and further encouraged Carole to play. The guests were left dumbfounded. They had been anticipating a dramatic event to happen, so they all had whiplash from the unexpected turn of events.
“I thought Edwin never got along with Ellie?” someone asked in obvious confusion. “Why is he helping her now p>
“I’d like to know the answer to that myself p>
Just then, Kaiden turned his head to look up at Ellie. When he saw that her eyes were trained on Edwin, his expression turned grim. “Who are you looking at p>
Kaiden sounded sullen, and if she didn’t know any better, she would have thought he had caught her cheating with the way he was acting.
“I’m looking at…” Ellie cut herself off and withdrew her eyes from Edwin. “Just know that you made the right decision p>

Kaiden then swept a cold glance over the nosy crowd.
The guests immediately looked away from Ellie, scared that their brief ogling of her would bring them life-altering repercussions.

“Do my words mean nothing to you anymore, Kaiden?” Jorge slammed his walking stick on the floor, his voice filled with outrage. “How dare you ignore my wishes p>
Kaiden simply sneered at the old man.
As for the rest of the Thorpe family, they wondered wryly when Jorge’s words had ever worked on the headstrong Kaiden.
Kaiden had already warned them last time, so none of them dared act so recklessly around him.
More importantly, Kaiden was the current CEO of GT Group. It wasn’t in their best interests to oppose him in any way.
