Chapter 87 Cason Doesn’t Save Kaitlin
Serina cried and held Ainsley’s arm tightly, as if she could only feel safe by doing this.
Ainsley allowed Serina to hug her, but in her heart, she was wondering what Serina had experienced so that she could be so
insecure.
“I’m here. Don’t be afraid, I’ve always been here.” Ainsley lowered her voice.
Serina gradually calmed down. She still held Ainsley’s arm and started to look around in fear.
Mollie took a sip of coffee and looked at the time. “Ms. Easton, it’s getting late. I’ll send you back.”
“OK, thank you.”
Ainsley got into Mollie’s car with Serina and soon arrived at her apartment.
Before leaving, Mollie said, “Ms. Easton, my senior will be returning soon. He is a psychologist more experienced than me. I will
mention you to him. Maybe he will contact you then.”
“Thank you, Mollie,” Ainsley said sincerely.
The car door was closed. Before Ainsley had gone upstairs, the window was lowered. Mollie said, “Your thesis is of great value. I
have
all my questions and shallow comments sent to your email. Ms. Easton, you should not only stay at the University of Washington
as
a psychological counselor. You deserve a better career.”
Ainsley watched the car slowly go away and was lost in thought.
When she returned home, she first went upstairs to give her the books that Serina liked and asked Serina to read on the side.
She sat on the sofa and applied the medicine. She turned her back to Serina, trying not to let her see the wound.
Before she finished applying the medicine, Manuel came.
“Thank you, Aisy.” Manuel put the document bag on the table and was about to take the ointment from Ainsley’s hand.
“It doesn’t hurt anymore. I can apply it myself.” Ainsley avoided his outstretched hand.
“But you helped me take care of Serina all day and asked about her from Mollie. I can’t do nothing, can I?”
After returning, Ainsley told Manuel about Serina going to see Mollie. She smiled and said, “Serina is better than before. Mollie
advised that we should take Serina to a place where she feels safe and let her feel it herself.”
“Understood.”
“Cason didn’t look for you again, right?” Manuel suddenly asked.
Ainsley shook her head. “No, he should know his place, right?”
“He went to the University of Washington. Mr. Ford called me just now.” Manuel raised his eyebrows.
“Could it be that he wanted Mr. Ford to release Kaitlin? He wouldn’t be so foolish, right?” Ainsley’s eyes were full of disgust.
“Yes, Mr. Ford refused.”
At the University of Washington.
Cason left Raymond’s office with annoyance. He had already tried everything he could, but Raymond still refused to let go.
Cason even threatened him with the school board, but Raymond did not back out. It could be seen that the Gage family was
determined not
to let the matter go.
Cason had no other choice. He had used all the methods he could use.
He thought of asking Ainsley for help, but he had already gotten the answer last time.
He returned to the car, took out his phone, and looked for Ainsley’s phone number. Then he was wondering whether to call her
and
didn’t press the dial button.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
Cason was a bit surprised. But it was from Lindsay.
He rubbed his temples. He knew what she wanted to say after the call was connected. It was nothing but asking him to save
Kaitlin.
But no one knew that Cason had already tried every means. He sighed and finally picked up the phone.
“Cason, what did Mr. Ford say? We are members of the school board. He should let it go for the sake of this.”
“Mom, we only hold five percent of the shares, while the Gage family holds forty percent. That is nearly half of all the shares.
How could Mr. Ford offend the Gage family because of us?”
Moreover, he had not said the main point. Kaitlin had a bad reputation in the school. Relying on the power of the Baldry family,
she often bullied those who she didn’t like in school. Even a few excellent students were forced to drop out of school by her.
Raymond had put it very tactfully. Previously, he turned a blind eye to that for the sake of the Baldry family, but now the Gage
family had taken action. How could he connive in Kaitlin’s behavior?
“As expected, they will bully the weak and fear the strong! What should we do now?” Lindsay cried.
Cason said coldly, “You should know better than me how notorious Kaitlin is in school. Mom, it’s not that I didn’t want to save her
this time. She deserves it! You shouldn’t spoil her all the time. Let this matter end here. She has to bear the consequences of
what she did. If she doesn’t repent of what she has done, I don’t know how much trouble she will cause in the future!”
“Cason, you just let it go?” Lindsay asked in disbelief.
“That’s right! I won’t be going home for the next few days. Don’t call me again because of Kaitlin,” Cason hung up the phone and
sighed tiredly.
Ever since the Quiz Show yesterday, he had asked different people for help. But when he heard Raymond’s comments about
Kaitlin,
Cason immediately decided not to save her.
If Kaitlin did not correct her mistake, she might do something bad to the Baldry family in the future. Right now, she had already
affected the Baldry family’s relationship with the Gage family. Even Raymond blamed the Baldry family for this.
Cason couldn’t let it go on.
Thinking of this, Cason went to the police station to meet Kaitlin and told her his decision.
“I’ve gone to see a lawyer. He said that even if she was sentenced, she would not be detained for more than twenty days. You
have
not suffered much since you were young, which is why you are so fearless. This time, you should bear the consequences
yourself.”
He had asked around. Kaitlin had only stolen the exam papers for the Quiz Show. That was not a felony. Ainsley was not
seriously
hurt after being splashed with hot water by Kaitlin. Even if Kaitlin were to be pursued, it was not a criminal case.
Kaitlin opened her eyes wide and suddenly stood up, slapping the table. “Cason! Are you really not going to save me? I am your
sister! Where is Mom? Did mother agree not to save me?”
“I have already told mother. I don’t know if she agrees, but you should reflect on yourself. If you don’t realize what you have done
wrong, you will never return to the Baldry family. I don’t want you to keep embarrassing the Baldry family!” Cason said coldly.
“Did I embarrass the Baldry family? How can you say that about me? It was Ainsley who deliberately harmed me. If not for her,
would I end up like this? You did not scold her but came to blame me! I want to tell Mom!” Kaitlin glared at Cason with bloodshot
eyes.
She had been waiting in the detention room for news, but she had never expected that Cason would not save her.
Cason’s face was darkened. “Mr. Ford has told me what you have done in the school. Did you go to school to bully others?
Kaitlin, I don’t care what your results are. At the very least, you have to preserve the dignity of the Baldry family, but look at what
you have
done!”
