Chapter 695
Damien said, “Casey, I’ve grown used to seeing you every day after work. If you need money, just tell me. Whatever you want, I can buy it for you. Tomorrow, I’ll have my assistant raise the limit on your credit card by another hundred thousand. Stop going out to work. Let me take care of you, alright?”
At that moment, although Casey was swayed by his sweet words, she still clung to a rare thread of clarity.
“I don’t work for money. I… I truly love playing the piano.”
Damien grabbed her in a tight embrace.
“Casey, babe, can the piano really be more important than me?”
Of course, the piano wasn’t more important than Damien.
In the end, Casey gave in.
Now, facing Damien’s intense, calculating gaze, she felt her hands and feet grow ice-cold.
Could he really be insane enough to destroy her hands?
Damien seemed to sense her thoughts. Meeting her horrified gaze, a slow, triumphant smile curled on his lips, as if he controlled everything.
“Casey, you are mine. No matter what happens, I would never hurt you.”
Casey wanted to say: Haven’t you already hurt me enough? Is harm only measured in physical pain?
But she held her tongue. This was not the moment to provoke him.
Damien cast a glance at Sharon and then looked to the bodyguards beside him.
“Break her hands.”
The words were cold and merciless, sending a chill down Casey’s spine.
“No!” Casey stepped in front of Sharon, her voice fierce. “Damien, you cannot do this! Our relationship has nothing to do with Sharon. You cannot drag an innocent into this!”
Damien’s lips curved into a leisurely smile, as though he enjoyed watching her despair.
“But I don’t think she’s innocent. If she hadn’t taken you in, you wouldn’t have had the confidence to defy me for so long. We would have reconciled ages ago.”
Casey knew this wasn’t the time to mention his ex-girlfriend. She tried another approach.
“You know the relationship between Sharon and Uriah. If you harm her, he will never forgive you.”
Damien didn’t flinch.
“Uriah is my grandfather. He can tell right from wrong.”
He had to act before Uriah learned of this. Otherwise, Sharon might get a chance to intervene. Even if Uriah found out afterward, so what? He didn’t care. Uriah had long retired from power, and even if he still held authority, would he really kick him out of the family for the sake of an outsider?
Today, Casey had to learn a lesson she would never forget. Otherwise, she would always rely on others for support, always think about leaving him.
As for Sharon… she wasn’t even on his radar. Cole and Lex had restrained themselves only because of their own caution and

heavy responsibilities. He had no such fear of Sharon.
He looked to the bodyguards.
“What are you two waiting for? Do it!”
The bodyguards didn’t dare hesitate and approached Sharon.
Panic finally flared across Casey’s face.
“Damien, don’t touch Sharon! I’ll go with you!”
Damien’s expression remained cold.
“It’s too late.”
Casey pressed herself in front of Sharon, stepping backward inch by inch.
“Damien,” she pleaded, tears brimming in her eyes. “Sharon has helped me so much… I’m begging you, please don’t hurt her, okay?”
