Chapter 73 Standing Up For Her
You once said you’d help me seek justice. So, was I wrong to pursue it on my own!“:
Casimir was in direct confrontation with her.
Finished
“You were only confined in a psychiatric hospital for a few hours, you didn’t really suffer much. The psychiatric hospital is now shut down, and Samuel has been taught a lesson. He’s still in detention, you know. Why can’t you just let it go
“I was just lucky to only be confined for a few hours! What if my luck had been worse? Not to mention how long they
ghi’ve kept me, I could’ve ended up a fool!” Raylee growled in frustration.
At that moment, she was as furious as a provoked bull, wishing she could charge straight into these individuals who twisted right and wrong, and knock them dead.
With a hint of urgency, Casimir explained, “You won’t, Samuel said he would have the doctor regulate the dosage. He won’t let you become a fool! I’ve known him for many years, and he’s always been a decent person. He wouldn’t do something so
in the depths of Raylee’s eyes, there was a strong sense of mockery.
It’s only natural for you to stand up for him, you two are buddies after all. However, I’m quite curious. You mentioned you would help me seek justice that day. May I ask, Mr. Sutherland, how exactly do you plan to assist me? Playing peacemaker like this, at present? You get to be the good guy, while I bear all the grievances. How does Samuel, the root of all troubles, get to
Raylee looked at him, a smile tugging irresistibly at the corner of her mouth.
Men are liars, and yet, she was moved by what Casimir had said that day.
Casimir cast his gaze down, observing the shifts in her facial expressions, sensing her sarcasm. He felt somewhat embarrassed, as if he had been insulted
He tugged at his constraining tie, responding irritably. “Do you really think everyone is like that madman Jeremiah, ready to pull a trigger at the slightest provocation? Or perhaps, you’re fond of such immature and impetuous, even childishly extreme, methods of retaliation?”
kayler continued to stemly confront him, “I won’t judge what Jeremiah did, but at the very least, he helped me through his actions, didn’t he? And what about you? Mr. Sutherland, all you do is talk, sweeping things under the rug.”
Casimir’s handsome face darkened with anger. “So, what’s the deal? You’ve fallen for Jeremiah, haven’t you? They were right -you were about to marry into the Lorimer family, and it went straight to your head. You got so full of yourself, acting all high and mighty, like no one else mattered”
Such arguments were pointless, Raylee was left with a headache due to his antics. She averted her gaze, turning to look at Waverly, she said.“Are you feeling better from your depression now?”
Fearing that Casimir might find her distasteful. Waverly quickly shook her head. “It’s all right, Raylee. I’m doing very well
“Are you really okay?”
Waverly nodded once niore.
Rayler looked at her with an expression that was ambiguously between a smile and a smirk.
since you’re fine, you might as well continue your stay at the detention center. You agreed to this in front of your ownI thother, to stay there with Samuel for a full week!”
Gritting her teeth, Waverly nodded, tears streaming down her face “Raylee, I’ll go now,” she assured. “Don’t worry, I will never go back on my wond
She took a few steps back, leaving Casimir with a lingering sense of reluctance in his heart.

“Waverly, are you sure you can handle going to the detention center is your health up to it?
Finished
Waverly was deeply moved, her heart beating faster than usual. With affection in her eyes, she said. “No matter how great the difficulties are. I can always persevere because of your care for me”
Casimir approached her, gently patting her shoulder in consolation. “If you can’t bear it anymore, let me know. I stand up :: for you!
The weight of his words was too profound, leaving Waverly utterly astounded, her mouth agape in shock
She would rather believe that her hearing had failed her, than to accept that Casimir could utter such words
All along. Casimir’s attitude toward her had been lukewarm, never crossing boundaries, and he rarely showed concern for
her
Especially on his birthday, after she had done what she did in an attempt to strengthen their bond, his attitude toward bi
as almost indifferent.
ortunately, he never brought up breaking off the engagement.
She believed this was how they would coexist.
It wasn’t until he repeatedly expressed his fervent affection for Raylee that she was consumed by a mad jealousy. She resented Comir’s apparent favoritism toward Raylee and loathed even more that Raylee had stolen Casimir’s attention away from
She had never, ever imagined that at this moment, he would actually step forward and stand up for her.
Could it be that the tables had turned, with Casimir’s attention now leaning toward her?
Waverly was brimming with hope, unable to hide the joy that spread across her face.
sneakily glanced at Kaylee, then quickly reverted back to her previous, pitiful demeanor.
axmir. thank you. But I don’t want you to be upset with Raylee because of me, so I think I should go to the detention center instead. If you truly cherish and pity me, may I make a small request?”
