Chapter 563:
Just then, Austin stepped out of the car.
Cayson was shocked when he saw Austin. “It’s you p>
Austin approached with a smooth stride, offering his hand to Cayson. “Hello p>
Cayson cast a cold, sideways glance at Austin, making no move to accept the handshake.
Yelena rubbed her temples, exasperated. Hadn’t she just signaled for Austin to leave quickly? Why was he still here?
Austin explained politely to Cayson, “I ran into Yelena today and just gave her a ride home p>
“Just like that, a coincidence?” Cayson scoffed, skeptical of Austin’s explanation.
Then, a realization dawned on Cayson, altering his expression dramatically. Yelena hadn’t come home the previous night. She had informed her family that she would be staying at a colleague’s to work on a project for a competition. Her family, knowing her commitment and enthusiasm, supported her while reminding her to take care of herself and avoid overworking.
Consequently, Yelena’s eyes were red and bloodshot, her appearance one of exhaustion, almost as if…
Cayson’s heart clenched. He fixed Austin with a scrutinizing look as if trying to distinguish his true intentions.
He then turned to Yelena and asked, “Yelena, did you spend the entire night with him p>
Yelena was momentarily taken aback before recovering. She looked at Cayson incredulously. Why would he think that?
“No, I was at a colleague’s place last night. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her. It’s Tessa. You’ve met her before p>
Cayson, however, wasn’t fully persuaded by Yelena’s explanation. She could have easily arranged for Tessa to cover for her.

It wasn’t that Cayson opposed Yelena dating boys; he simply feared she was too naive and could be misled by someone deceitful.
Cayson gave Austin another suspicious glance. Clearly, he considered Austin to be that deceitful man who might hurt his precious sister.
“Tell me the truth. Did anything happen last night?” Cayson leaned in, whispering to Yelena.
Yelena was taken aback, her expression shifting suddenly. The blush deepened across her cheeks, vibrant as if infused with fresh blood.
“No! Cayson, what are you implying? There’s absolutely nothing going on between us p>
Cayson didn’t believe Yelena at all. Why didn’t she just look in the mirror and see how red her face was? Cayson’s gaze hardened as he turned to Austin and said coldly, “You. Tell me what happened last night p>
Yelena winked at Austin, silently urging him to keep quiet and not say anything inappropriate.
Austin met Yelena’s gaze, his eyes reassuring her silently.
Confident in Austin’s discretion, Yelena hoped this would clarify the misunderstanding.
Unexpectedly, Austin said, “Our relationship indeed is not as straightforward p>
“What?!” Cayson’s eyes narrowed, a menacing spark flaring within them as if he were ready to kill Austin.
Yelena stared at Austin, shocked. Now she felt the impulse to silence him herself.
He had just reassured her with that wink, making her believe he understood her intentions.
And then Austin made such a provocative statement!
Could it be that Austin was out of his senses?
“You jerk p>
Cayson lunged forward, seized Austin by the collar, and lifted him up. “Did you touch her last night p>
