Chapter 817:
Not long after, Cayson arrived in a hurry.
Upon seeing Yelena standing next to the two bloodied men, Cayson quickly approached, his face filled with concern.
“Yelena, didn’t I tell you to stay inside p>
Cayson circled around Yelena, scrutinizing her to ensure she was unharmed. He only relaxed once he confirmed she was safe. Yelena reassured him, “See, I’m alright, aren’t I p>
Cayson shot a glance at Austin, his eyes narrowing as he let out a snort. “I’ll settle this with you later,” he said.
He then turned his attention to handling the two criminals.
Dealing with them was straightforward; all he needed to do was turn them over to the police.
The fireworks continued to light up the sky, and most of the guests were absorbed in the stunning display, unaware that a murder had just occurred nearby.
“Austin, we need a word!” Cayson called out sternly.
Austin approached, fully aware of the reason but offering no resistance, acknowledging his misstep that day.
“Cayson p>
“You bastard!” Cayson shouted, raising his fist and punching Austin.
Austin, standing tall, did not attempt to block the blow.

“Stop, Cayson! What are you doing p>
Yelena intervened hastily, stepping in front of Cayson, who halted just in time, his fist narrowly missing her.
Cayson’s expression was one of frustration as he said, “Yelena, what are you doing? Get out of the way p>
Yelena faced Cayson squarely and said, “I asked Austin for help. If you feel you need to hit someone, it should be me p>
Seeing Yelena’s resolve, Cayson felt a wave of helplessness wash over him. Even in his anger, he would never lay a hand on her.
Cayson turned to Yelena and said, “Alright, I won’t hit anyone. Happy now p>
Grasping Cayson’s arm, Yelena responded with a sweet smile, “Thank you! You’re the best brother ever p>
Feigning the sweet little sister act took a toll on Yelena; she felt her entire body tense with discomfort.
Yelena thought that getting into a fight, like she had earlier, was better than trying to play cute. However, she felt she had no other choice, as she couldn’t let Cayson hit Austin.
Cayson was momentarily at a loss for words. He could only give in when confronted with Yelena’s sweet smile and pleading words.
Cayson warned Yelena, saying, “Even though I can’t bring myself to punish you, that doesn’t mean you did the right thing p>
Yelena paused, knowing that Cayson would be angry and scold her. She had already braced herself for it.
“Go ahead, scold me if you want p>
Yelena stood there, looking helpless. At the sight of her, Cayson knew he could never bring himself to scold her. He exhaled deeply and said, “Just don’t make me worry like that again p>
