The Returned Heiress Who Had It All (Cassia) novel Chapter 483

hapter 483 The Anklet

“It suits you,” Draven said, holding a crystal anklet between his fingers as he looked at Cassia.

Cassia turned and stared at the anklet in his hand for a few seconds.

To be honest, it was rare for her to truly like something, especially jewelry. She usually had no interest in it.

Even the bracelet she designed herself mostly stayed in her bag. She almost never wore it.

However, she had liked this crystal anklet from the moment she first saw it.

If she didn’t like it, why would she wear it every day and never take it off?

If she liked something, she liked it. Cassia never forced herself to pretend.

“If you ever need me, just tell me.”

After saying that, she reached out to take the anklet from Draven.

But before her hands could reach it, Draven suddenly crouched down.

“Here. I’ll help you put it on,” he said.

“You don’t have to. I can do it myself.” Cassia looked down at him, slightly surprised.

“Don’t move. It’ll only take a second.”

Draven held the anklet and snapped it shut around her left ankle with a soft click.

He had once heard that wearing an anklet on the left ankle could keep bad people away.

To him, this was his way of protecting her.

Draven narrowed his eyes slightly. His gaze rested on her pale, smooth ankle.

The crystal rested gently against her skin, glowing softly.

Beautiful. Very beautiful. Beautiful enough to make him want to take her home and keep her safe.

For a moment, he forgot himself. Cassia noticed how lost he looked. She lowered her eyes slightly and said nothing

When he put the anklet on her, his fingers brushed her bare skin.

It was only a small touch, but it left a strange feeling she couldn’t explain.

Seven parked the car in the parking lot. He and Sterling got out and walked toward the building entrance

Before they even reached the door, they saw the scene.

“Tsk, I should’ve driven slower…” Seven muttered, rubbing his arms.

Sterling looked at Cassia and Draven.

As they walked, Seven whispered, “This Friday we’re going to Vrastin. If my sister finds out Mr. Grey has someone he likes…”

Sterling turned to look at him. “What will happen?”

“She’ll get super jealous. And she’ll probably cause trouble for Ms. Wood.”

Sterling immediately tensed up and said seriously, “No one can steal things from Cassia!”

Seven laughed helplessly. “Even if they want to, they can’t. Mr. Grey only has eyes for Ms. Wood.”

Then Seven suddenly thought of something. He tensed up and started walking faster.

“No. I need to warn her when I get back. Tell her not to try anything stupid. If she offends both Mr. Grey and Ms. Wood, the whole family will suffer.”

Seven knew his sister’s personality. She was capable of doing anything if she wanted something.

In the past, many women tried to get close to Draven. Somehow, his psycho sister scared every one of them away.

If any woman got even a step closer to Draven, she would go after them like a rabid dog.

Before Draven met Cassia, back when they still lived in Vrastin, his sister had become famous in their social circle because of one incident.

Just thinking about it made Seven want to disappear into the ground.

He didn’t want another scandal. He didn’t want their family name dragged across business news headlines again.

Before, it didn’t matter how wild she acted. Draven didn’t care. Things were different now..

Draven liked Cassia. And judging by what he just saw, if she told him to go fetch a bucket of water and wash her feet, he would probably run to do it eagerly.

Night fell.

In the old district of Zrario, inside a bar, Kaleb had finished several drinks.

Warmth spread through his body. He didn’t feel as hopeless as before.

Under the bartender’s strange stare, he downed several more bottles of brandy. When he moved his hand, he knocked over an empty bottle. It fell to the floor with a sharp sound.

Kaleb gave the bartender a goofy smile. “Sorry” He bent down, picked up the bottle, and set it back on the table

He felt lighter than he had ever before. The world in front of him started to blur

Foggy haze Flashing lights Loud rock music. People twisted and danced like fish swimming through water, blending into the chaotic space.

Voices from the dance floor filled his ears.

Even so, one scene kept replaying in his head. The moment be gathered his courage to propose to Cassia and how she rejected him

flatly. It replayed again and again, like a movie he couldn’t turn off.

And that wasn’t even the worst part. He had always thought he was better than the man who suddenly appeared later. Maybe he lost in looks, but he believed his family background was far better.
