Chapter 57
Yulia threw her phone away in disbelief.
| didn’t write it. It's definitely not me
She was so scared that she quickly clutched onto Miranda’s hand. She kept assuring herself that it was not her. It’s truly not met
In truth, she was inwardly panicked to death. She wondered when she wrote all of that and how she could boldly admit it and publish it
She did not even dare to read the comments. (What kind of slave society is this? How can such an arrogant idiot exist!] Everything she did was beyond inhuman. I’m so angry!]
Didn’t the Yates family severed their ties with Cassandra? | remembered it was them who announced it first. Shouldn’t they be kneeling before Cassandra and beg for her forgivenew?
I'm so angry. As a mother myself, | don’t understand how they could treat their child like this and even let an adopted daughter bully their own child—even locking her up in a dark room! What era is this? Are they even human?]
(Call the police! Just call the police! This is against the law! It’s abuse!] l'm so angry, | don’t even know what to say!]
| thought she was an innocent and weak lady. Turns out she’s a vicious lady! Even the vicious supporting characters in TV series are not as nasty as Yulissa!]
Is this how the Yates family treats their own daughter and sister? Frederick is also involved, right? [To the above post, Fred is too busy to care about Cassandra or bully her. He is a good person!] [Can you not manipulate the situation? Fred doesn’t have time for such a woman!]
[Can Frederick’s fans go away? What's with the show of existence?]
Indeed, the idol has a problem, and so do the fans. Any normal person would know which side to stand with. | didn’t expect they'd find such a novel point.]
(Am | the only one curious about why Yulissa posted these?)
Mon, 19 Feb
| know! I know! | happened to follow the gossip yesterday. This is a bet between Yulissa and Cassandra!]
Elaborate!]
(Well, in the final mock exam of Grade 12 last week, Yulissa intentionally provoked Cassandra and challenged her to a bet where the winner’s wish had to be obeyed. Morcover, Yulissa had imposed a condition that Cassandra had to have a total score higher than Yulissa’s by 60 points to win. Initially, this condition wasn’t part of the bet. It was added the day before the exam. As a result, it backfired on Yulissa. She scored 1481 points, while Cassandra scored 1564 points. She had fulfilled the bet by running ten laps on the field and shouting ‘Yulissa is an idiot’ 200 times. It’s a pity that missed such a scene.]
[Damn! This is so explosive!] [So vicious, but it's quite pitiful too. The pitiful part is that she’s too smug!] you all
“Lisa, tell me, why did you write these?” Jasper asked patiently. To him, Yulissa had always been good to Cassandra, even enduring many grievances without complaint.
He could not believe that she was as malicious as stated in the post.
He was certain it must be fake.
“It was Cassandra who asked me to write it...” Yulissa buried her face in Miranda’s shoulder and cried uncontrollably. She was too ashamed to face anyone and swore she would let Cassandra face her doom.
“Why?” Jasper asked.
Leonardo frowned at the side. He was already skeptical about Yulissa’s words.
He used to believe in her completely, but her behavior at the charity gala was beyond his understanding.
“Cassandra and | made a bet about last week's exam. But the day before yesterday, she suddenly wanted to raise the stakes. | didn’t expect I'd fall into her trap and do this! I’m so sorry. Sorry, Dad, Mom. Sorry to all of you!”
Benjamin immediately directed his fury at Cassandra.
“That brat! I’m not her father if | don’t teach her a lesson today!”
Leonardo stayed silent; he was unconvinced.
Cassandra had severed ties with them voluntarily long ago. She would not try to 2/5

provoke them.
Moreover, he had received a second summons from the court.
They were investigating Cassandra’s kidnapping incident. She did not seize that opportunity for extortion, so she could not have made such a senseless, self-destructive
bet.
He could not make sense of it.
Leonardo was somewhat annoyed and frustrated. Previously, seeing Yulissa cry would have undoubtedly stirred his heart. However, now, he felt indifferent, even impatient, at seeing those tears.
Benjamin went to Whitecrane Hall again.
“Cassandra, come out here!”
Scarlett was surprised to see him again.
She promptly used the intercom to call for security.
“Let Cassandra come out and see me!”
He wondered why Cassandra could not let the Yates family thrive.
She also dared to team up with outsiders to go against Yulissa.
“Mr. Yates, if you continue causing a scene like this, we'll have to ask you to leave,” Scarlett said politely. “I'm Cassandra's father. Make her come out and see me! Who are you to drive me away?”
Jeremiah came out from the office and frowned at Benjamin upon seeing him. “What's going on?”
“Mr. Lawson, Mr. Yates is here to see Ms. Cassandra Yates.”
“She’s not here. Get out of here!” Jeremiah shouted angrily.

‘Elaine would be here soon. | can’t allow him to cause a scene!’ Jeremiah thought.

“I'll wait right here for her then! | haven't discussed any cooperation with you, and | don’t have any conflicts with you either, so why are you stopping me?”
Soon, Cassandra arrived.
Her head was lowered as she headed to the office; therefore, she did not notice Benjamin sitting nearby. It was precisely because she did not notice him that Benjamin found an opportunity.
Benjamin slapped her and said, “You ingrate! How could you treat Yulissa so miserly? How could you have such malicious thoughts?”
Cassandra did not notice him, so she could not have avoided the slap.
Thus, she took the hit squarely.
Cassandra raised her eyes slightly; they were filled with murderous intent.
Slap! Benjamin’s head jerked to the side.
Cassandra had returned with a slap to him right away.
“Mr. Yates, did you come here just to make a scene? What do you think Whitecrane Hall is?” Cassandra glared at him angrily. Anyone who had been blacklisted at Whitecrane Hall should never set foot in Whitecrane Hall again.
“Scarlett, what’s this? Don’t you know the company’s rules?” Jeremiah immediately criticized.
“Stop trying to change the subject!”
Scarlett was now sweating bullets.
She had never encountered such a serious situation before and did not know how to
handle it.
“Mr. Lawson, I-I have called the security guard, but this man just wouldn't leave and insisted on waiting here for Ms. Yates...*. “Cassandra, aren't you afraid of karma? How dare you hit me?” Benjamin was furious.
“Karma? Look at everything that’s plastered online. If it weren't for your interests, would you all still treat me like this?”NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
She had experienced karma long ago.
“You ingrate! You better issue a statement quickly, claiming that all of it is fake!”
“Sure, unless you die. I'll only issue a statement once you're dead!”
