Chapter 83 Overrated
“Manuel?” Cason narrowed his eyes.
At this time, how could Manuel be at Ainsley’s house?
“I naturally have something to talk to Ainsley about. It has nothing to do with you, right, Mr. Gage?”
Manuel looked at Cason, his eyes cold. “Aisy and Ms. Salter have said you are not welcome. If you are free, you might as well think
about how to save your sister. You don’t have to waste your time here. The university called the police on her. The school board has
unanimously agreed. It has nothing to do with Aisy.”
Cason’s eyes were dim. Aisy? How intimate!
“Mr. Gage, the Baldry family is also a member of the school board. I didn’t know a board meeting was held.” Did Manuel think he was
the only one on the school board?
“I forgot you were a member, too, but the shares of the Gage family are the biggest, right?” Manuel said indifferently.
“Mr. Gage, Ainsley and I used to be married. We were together for three years. You can’t stop me from seeing her, can you?”
Lainey sneered coldly, “You are really cheeky. You talked about love. It made me feel like you still had deep feelings for Ainsley after
the divorce. Don’t forget who asked for the divorce and why you divorced. Your sister and mother were bullying Ainsley before the
divorce. Now that she’s divorced, those two women are still bullying her. Cason, how dare you come and beg her to release Kaitlin?
Stop dreaming!”
When Lainey thought of how Ainsley had been treated like a maid in the Baldry family, Lainey had the urge to splash the water before
her onto Cason’s head.
Cason’s hand trembled. He looked at Ainsley and said, “I’m sorry. I really didn’t know what my mother and my sister did.”
“Enough! Cason, you should hurry and leave. Don’t waste any more effort on us. I don’t want to see you
again!” Ainsley pursed her lips

“Didn’t you hear that?” Manuel made way for Cason.
Cason felt he was in the wrong and walked away.
When Cason reached the elevator door, he stopped and turned around to look. Ainsley smiled and
greeted Manuel. Lainey took the
bag from Cason’s hand and shouted excitedly, “Ah, Mr. Gage, you actually brought so much delicious
food!”
Ainsley and Lainey had just been indifferent and disgusted, but now they were so warm and friendly.
Cason felt he was an intruder.
But the two women used to treat Cason differently.
He had never seen Ainsley so domineering. Neither had he thought her indifferent face could look so
happily.
For a moment, all the things Ainsley had done for him flashed through Cason’s mind. The warm
hangover soup, the light sweet porridge in the morning… Now he would no longer have them.
Cason felt a pang in his heart. He returned to his car. Before he could sit properly, Lindsay called him.
“Hello? Cason, did you go to find her? What did she say? Is she willing to spare your sister?”
Cason was annoyed. “Let’s talk about it when I get back.”
After hanging up the phone, he slammed the steering wheel and drove home after he was calm.
In the apartment, Lainey put all the food that Manuel brought on the dining table. Looking at the boxes,
she couldn’t help but click her tongue. “It was actually brought from Pearl Hotel. I want to eat it just by
smelling it.”
“Didn’t you drive Serina to the hospital? Why are you here so soon?” Why was Manuel in Ainsley’s
house?
“Serina has been driven to the hospital and is asleep. I was afraid you wouldn’t eat, so I asked Roman to
pack it up,” Manuel
explained.
He hadn’t expected Lainey to come as well, and Cason was a bigger surprise.
“Sorry for the farce just now.” Ainsley thought about the awkward situation and looked upset.
Every time Ainsley dealt with the Baldry family, Manuel would be there.
“I thought the Baldry family was outstanding, but now it seems it is overrated.” Manuel rarely paid
attention to this kind of thing. Occasionally, when he saw some gossip news, he would laugh it off.
He had seen a lot of news about the grudges of the rich and powerful families. He never thought that one
day he would experience it
himself.
Lainey held a chicken leg and said, “You haven’t seen anything more melodramatic. But I have!”
“Just eat your chicken leg.” Ainsley quickly covered Lainey’s mouth.
Manuel only smiled and did not ask further.
They sat on the sofa. Lainey ate a chicken leg and immediately picked up her bag. “Right, I suddenly
remembered I still had some
things to do. Mr. Gage, please take care of Aisy for me!”
Lainey winked at Ainsley hard.
“Okay.” Manuel nodded slightly.
“What nonsense are you talking about? Mr. Gage is very busy.” Moreover, Ainsley did not need anyone
to take care of her, especially
Manuel.
“I am not busy,” a deep voice sounded.

Lainey smiled thoughtfully and quickly went out.
“Lainey is always like that. Don’t take offense. I can take care of myself. You should hurry to the hospital to see Serina.” Ainsley looked
at Manuel awkwardly.
“But I just promised Ms. Salter.” Manuel showed a playful smile.
“She was just talking nonsense. Don’t take it seriously. Besides, I was just scalded. It’s not like I was missing an arm or a leg.”
“It’s almost like that,” Manuel said.
Ainsley didn’t know what to say.
In the Baldry’s house, when Cason returned home, Kaliyah walked over gently.
“You’re back?”
“It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have brought your parents to the infirmary today. I got you into the mess,” noticing she was tired, Cason said apologetically.
“It doesn’t matter. We don’t need to keep apologizing to each other. Besides, we are about to get married. Kaitlin is also my sister. I’m
worried about her,” Kaliyah said as she looked down to hide the anger in her eyes.
It was all Kaitlin’s fault! If not for her, her parents would not have fallen out with Manuel!
Moreover, Kaliyah noticed Cason was acting weird recently. He would often be in a daze. Sometimes, when she entered the study, he would be startled. Kaliyah felt Cason no longer put her first like before.
“Where is my mother?”
“She is in the room. She has been crying. She looks sad.” Kaliyah pretended to be worried.
She followed Cason into Lindsay’s room and saw her wiping her tears.
“Mom, I’m back.”
“What did she say? Is she still unwilling to let go?”
Cason nodded and looked upset. “It is Kaitlin’s fault. She should not have offended Ainsley. Now, she is being punished in the police
station.”
“It’s so unfair? How did we get involved with that jinx? I opposed you being with her at the beginning. Now, she wishes Kaitlin would die. Such a vicious woman will be punished sooner or later,” Lindsay cried excitedly.
