483.Chapter 483
Caleb hadn’t been to the Duke’s estate in a long time and, for some reason, felt a strange sense of nostalgia. After leaving the main hall, he began to wander around the estate alone. As he walked, he couldn’t help but think of Eliza from the wedding day.
So, Caleb headed toward the courtyard where Eliza used to live. However, before he could reach it, someone blocked bis way. It was Anthony who had been sent away by Gabriel earlier.
Caleb stopped in his tracks and looked at Anthony, who was sitting in a wheelchair a few feet ahead. His gaze briefly swept over Anthony’s paralyzed lower body.
“Anthony, what are you doing here? Didn’t Gabriel tell you to go to the kitchen with Matthew?” Caleb said.
“You shouldn’t have married her,” Anthony said.
Caleb was taken aback and awkwardly began to speak, but before he could finish, Anthony blurted out this statement. Caleb’s words died in his throat as he stared at Anthony.
Anthony sat quietly in his wheelchair, his handsome face looking increasingly pale. Combined with his cold expression, he looked like frost in the dead of winter, dazzlingly cold.
Anthony turned his head and looked at Caleb, repeating coldly, “Caleb, you shouldn’t have married Sophie.”
Caleb immediately let out a cold laugh. “If I shouldn’t have married her, then who should have?”
He continued, “Anthony, for Gabriel’s sake, I don’t want to argue with you about this. I also don’t want to say anything too harsh, since we are family now. I don’t want to cause any more conflict that might upset you and make you collapse again. If something really happened to you, I’d feel guilty.”
Anthony’s face turned even colder at Caleb’s words. “Is it for my father’s sake, or are you afraid that my father will break your other leg as well?”
Anthony’s provocative words, along with his gaze, swept over Caleb’s lame leg.
Caleb laughed in anger. “My leg is none of your concern, Anthony. If you have the time to worry about other people’s legs and other people’s women, you should worry about yourself. After all, I only lost a leg, but you, Anthony, have lost half of yourself.”
Provocative words were easy to throw around. Besides, Caleb was the winner now. He had married Sophie, and there was still hope for his leg to recover. Anthony, being a cripple, naturally couldn’t compare.
Bang. Anthony was indeed provoked by Caleb’s words and punched the armrest of his wheelchair in anger. “Caleb, what? If you want to break another leg, I can help you with that right now.”
As soon as Anthony finished speaking, several guards armed with clubs immediately appeared around Caleb, surrounding
him.
Seeing that Anthony had brought reinforcements, Caleb was also furious. “Anthony, try touching me. Aren’t you afraid that the fragile relationship between the Duke’s estate and the Marquis’s estate, which has just barely improved, will be completely ruined by you?”
“What kind of fucking relationship?” Even the usually gentle man couldn’t help but curse at Caleb’s attitude.
His face pale, his eyes red, Anthony gritted his teeth and said with a smile, “After you did this to me, our relationship was already destroyed. You want to go back to the way it was? I won’t allow it.”
The relationship could be mended, but Anthony would be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
He couldn’t accept that Caleb, after ruining his body, could still be so smug, not to mention that Caleb had slept with Sophie and forcibly married her in such a way. Caleb deserved to be beaten to death.
Indeed, in Anthony’s view, it wasn’t Sophie who had drugged and seduced Caleb in the first place. After all, Anthony had known all along that Caleb had ulterior motives toward Sophie.
So it could only have been Caleb who, knowing that Sophie was about to be married off to a poor scholar by her father, came to threaten Sophie. Everything was part of Caleb’s scheme.
It was reasonable for Anthony to think this way. He had seen it clearly at the time; Sophie did not like Caleb.
And when Caleb came with that broken hairpin, pretending it was a token of love to propose, Sophie clearly did not want to marry him. That was why Anthony was so con S Successfully unlocked!
But he just didn’t understand. It wasn’t that Sophie uunt want to many Caleb; it was that Sophie had always been looking for someone better.
At that time, with some delusions, Sophie, of course, wouldn’t immediately settle on Caleb. Caleb could only be a backup option.

Sophie would either choose him when she had no other options left, or she would bring him out as a trump card at some crucial moment, just like now.
