Chapter 702 Why Are You Testing My Patience?

Before Casey could respond, Draco grunted, “Bernard!”

The butler approached from behind and replied, “Sir.”

“Explain to her why I threw away the soup!” Draco demanded.

Bernard nodded and turned to Daniella, explaining. “You should remove the grease before serving it. Otherwise, it affects one’s appetite.”

Daniella barked, “Isn’t this something you can do with your own hands? Do I have to do this too?”

Bernard chimed in. “Only an insincere person would forget this step.”

Daniella felt oppressed. She sought help from Casey, but he simply said, “Apologize to my father, Ella.”

Daniella clenched her fists, frustration evident in her voice. “I’m not in the wrong. Why should I apologize? He’s the one who repeatedly troubles me. Why won’t you say a word to help me?”

Casey stood up abruptly, approached her, and slapped her.

Daniella was dumbfounded. She looked at Casey while holding her face, her body shaking. “Did you… just

hit me?”

Casey looked at her coldly. “Apologize now!”

Daniella gnashed her teeth, defiant. “What if I don’t?”

Casey slapped her again and stated firmly, “I won’t repeat myself thrice. Apologize now!”

Tears streamed down Daniella’s face. She wanted to resist but knew her effort would be futile now.

Considering all the hardships she had endured to get there, she would not give up during this critical

moment. She decided she would inflict this pain on them one day. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Swallowing her pride, Daniella said shakily, “I–I’m sorry that I didn’t do a good job!”

Draco said, “I can’t hear you.”

“I’m sorry!” Daniella apologized loudly.

Draco grunted. He was about to speak when he noticed Bernard pulling out his phone. He frowned and looked at Bernard in displeasure. “Have you lost your manners as well?”

Bernard checked the message swiftly, and his expression changed. He bent over and reported, “We found

the person, sir!”

Draco’s gaze turned ferocious. “Who is that?”

“Neil Xander!” Bemard replied.

Draco looked at Daniella and said, “Let’s talk in the study.”

“Yes, sir.”

Draco and Bernard left, leaving Daniella with a sense of curiosity. What were they talking about? The Xanders? Why did his expression turn so unpleasant? she wondered.

Casey called out gently. “Ella, did I hurt you?”

Daniella looked at him and felt the urge to cry. “Do you think it’s too late for you to say this now?”

Casey heaved a sigh and caressed Daniella’s face. “I’m sorry, but I had no choice. I can’t disappoint my

father.”

Daniella’s eyes were bloodshot. “So, you took advantage of my suffering, huh?”

Casey’s expression turned solemn. “What do you want, then?”

Daniella said, “Do anything you like. I’m just an outsider from the start, anyhow!”

In a fit of rage, Daniella returned to her room.

Casey’s gaze dimmed, and he followed her.

They entered the room. Daniella was about to lose her temper, but Casey grabbed her by her hair just as

she turned.

She screamed in pain, trying to pull her hair back, but Casey pulled her in front of him.

“Ella, why are you testing my patience, hmm?” Casey said coldly.
