Chapter 480:
Kaiden’s anger subsided as he considered Jarvis’ words. Once Jarvis finished, Kaiden asked, “Did Bella confirm this to you? That they’re neglecting her p>
Jarvis interjected, “Not really. I inferred it based on her social media posts. She has expressed feeling down and unhappy p>
Jarvis then showed Kaiden Bella’s Instagram account, which featured several melancholic entries.
Yet, these posts weren’t conclusive indicators of anything specific. Her expressions of sadness could relate to various aspects of her life or emotional states. These were, after all, just Jarvis’ assumptions.
Kaiden glanced at Jarvis and cautioned, “You must be more careful in the future.” He added, “No wonder Callum is upset p>
Maintaining an air of innocence, Jarvis replied, “But Dad, that woman shoved Bella yesterday, causing her hand to bleed. It happened right in front of us. If we hadn’t been there, who knows how much worse it could have been p>
Kaiden knitted his brows and said to Jarvis, “Avoid jumping to conclusions. Bella may not be their biological child, but your uncle and aunt have consistently shown her kindness. If your reckless words cause any friction between them, you’ll be responsible p>
This was the root of Callum’s anger and his strong desire to reprimand Jarvis.
“But, Dad p>
Kaiden interrupted him, raising a hand. “There’s no need to argue. I understand Callum better than anyone p>
Kaiden had once pursued his dreams at the expense of the family, leaving Callum to revive the family enterprise.
Fortunately, Callum harbored no resentment and had always shown unwavering support to his younger brother. Whenever Kaiden faced difficulties, Callum was there to sort them out.
Because of this, Kaiden held Callum in high regard and wouldn’t tolerate Jarvis speaking ill of Callum or damaging his reputation, even if Jarvis was his own son.

Kaiden suggested, “Seeing is believing. We should return and see the reality for ourselves p>
After finishing breakfast, as Yelena was about to leave, Cayson stopped her and said, “Yelena, let me take you to school today p>
Yelena replied, “Actually, I won’t be going to school today. I’ve resolved everything there. From now on, I’ll be working at the company p>
Cayson was overjoyed, thrilled at the prospect of seeing her every day at work. He had always admired Yelena’s grace and beauty, finding her endlessly appealing.
Overhearing their conversation, Bella felt a surge of urgency. She hadn’t anticipated Yelena returning to work so soon and realized she needed to accelerate her plans.
As Yelena approached Cayson’s car, Callum stepped in. “Yelena, you’ve never ridden with me. Why not join me today p>
Typically, Bella would have eagerly seized any opportunity to squeeze herself in on such occasions. Today, however, Bella was too preoccupied with her own concerns to notice. It wasn’t until after Callum and Yelena had departed that Bella realized the missed opportunity.
“Cayson, could I possibly p>
“No!” Cayson interjected sharply, his expression filled with clear displeasure.
Bella was startled by his abrupt denial. She hadn’t even finished her request, and already Cayson seemed upset. How unfair this seemed!
Still, Bella kept her frustration to herself, not daring to challenge him.
“Alright then,” she replied quietly.
During the drive, Callum continuously offered Yelena water and snacks.
Yelena politely declined each time, reminding him that they had just eaten a substantial breakfast and she really didn’t need anything else.
