Chapter 41
“Because Mr. Jackson wanted to entrust her to me and hoped that I could support her, and that the Quinn family could be her backer. Mr. Jackson was critically ill at that time. Even though he helped me many years ago, he never asked me for anything in return. This is the first and last time. Cassie is a good girl. I owe it to her grandfather, and now her. I won’t interfere if you stand by your decision to divorce her, but Orlando, as a member of the Quinn family, you are responsible for what you owe to them. If it weren’t for Mr. Jackson, we wouldn’t be able to chat like this today”
Many years ago, Damian’s favor came as a timely help to Peter. Otherwise, the latter might not be able to make it through.
Although the relationship between the two families had not been frequent and intimate for many years, their bond had always existed.
Peter’s words made Orlando silent. Peter added, “I don’t mean to guilt trip you. I just want you to know that the Quinn family owes her. I promised Cassie’s grandfather that I would guarantee her happiness for the rest of her life. If you divorce, I will disclose to the public that Cassie is my granddaughter and find someone for her in the name of the Quinn family. In addition, I will give part of the company shares to Cassie as a dowry. I only hope you can be mentally prepared in advance.”
Peter’s words made Orlando’s face darker and darker. Although Peter had asked him to find a suitable partner for Cassandra before the divorce, now Peter had obviously changed his mind.
Orlando was silent for a long time.
I’ve said this much. Any thoughts on what I said?” Peter said.
“Grandpa, we haven’t divorced yet. Isn’t it a little unfair for you to do this?” Orlando asked.
“Huh.” Peter smiled and narrowed his eyes with a sneer, “Is what you did fair to Cassie? You haven’t divorced yet, but you let Rebecca live in Dustmeadow Mansion. Orlando? Do you think that’s fair?”
Orlando’s eyes were deep and his face was full of emotion. He just said faintly, “Grandpa, I have n
my plan.”
“Fine. You’ve grown up and I can’t control you anymore, so don’t talk about fairness with me. Two days later, go get the divorce done,” Peter said.
Peter said nothing more and waved Orlando out.
He leaned back on the seat, his eyes slightly closed and he was a little tired. Alfred came in. He walked up to Peter and asked in a low voice, “Why don’t you tell him directly? Maybe he won’t divorce if he knows.”
“Cassie doesn’t want to make him stay using the child. Since he wants to divorce, just let him be. He will regret it in the future, Peter said.
He snorted coldly and said nothing more as he thought, ‘Who knows what will happen in the end?
Orlando and Cassandra’s relationship eased when the two of them stayed in the Quinn manor these two days.
They stayed together almost every day, as if back in the days when they had not mentioned the divorce.
They ate and lived together like a normal couple.
But Cassandra knew that it was all because of Peter’s arrangement.
The two–day period was over in the blink of an eye, which meant that they were going to divorce.
In the morning, they accompanied Peter, Frederick, and Gabriela to have breakfast. Everyone tacitly didn’t mention the divorce.

promises. Set a time to go through the paperwork.”
Cassandra nodded, and so did Orlando.
Frederick and Gabriela didn’t say anything. After all, Peter had already asked for it.
The two of thers didn’t stay longer. They just sat for a while and left the Quinn manor together.
In the car. Orlando was driving and Cassandra was sitting in the passenger seat.
She asked. “Orlando, when do you want to go through with the paperwork? Now?”
Orlando frowned and asked calmly, “Are you in a hurry?”
“Huh?” Cassandra was perplexed.
If you’re not in a hurry, let’s wait for tomorrow. I haven’t been to the company for two days. Let me drive you home first and then I have to go to the company to deal with some things, okay?” Orlando asked in a gentle voice.
Cassandra naturally understood. After all, things in the company were not trivial, so she nodded and said, “Okay, let’s do it tomorrow morning.
“Okay,” Orlando replied impassively. It was quite a perfunctory reply.
But at this moment, Cassandra didn’t notice it at all. She was just a little depressed. She thought that she should move out after going through with the paperwork tomorrow. She had to find a place to stay soon. Although Orlando said he would leave Dustmeadow Mansion to her, she did not want to live in such a big place alone.
Orlando sent her back to Dustmeadow Mansion and went straight to the company.
When Cassandra walked into the room, Rebecca immediately greeted her with a faint smile on her face. But when she saw that it was Cassandra, her expression changed immediately. “Why are you here? Where’s Landy?”
Rebecca didn’t give up and looked behind Cassandra, but there was no sign of him.
Cassandra ignored her and walked past her. She planned to go upstairs directly.
Seeing this, Rebecca immediately stepped forward to stop her and said, “Cassandra, I’m talking to you. Where is Landy?”
“Rebecca, who are you to me? What obligation do I have to answer your question? Cassandra said coldly.
Rebecca was speechless. She just glared at Cassandra with dissatisfaction, but the latter didn’t care at all. After a cold glance, she went upstairs.
Rebecca stamped her feet angrily and became more dissatisfied with Cassandra. She shouted at Cassandra, “Don’t think that your relationship has changed after you lived in the Quinn manor for two days. Landy has told me that the reason you stayed there is because of his grandfather. Now that you have met his condition, quickly go through with the divorce. Don’t drag Landy on
Cassandra paused, and her eyes narrowed.
However, she ignored Rebecca and walked straight back to the bedroom.
Cassandra felt disappointed. She didn’t know how good Orlando was to Rebecca, but she did not expect that he would tell Rebecca why he was living in the Quinn manor. He told her that the matter of divorce was only between them, but at the same time, he was honest with Rebecca.

Chapter 41
Cassandra mused, Orlando, you do have a double standard‘
Because Cassandra had to go through the paperwork early tomorrow morning, she put off her work for the time being. Michael didn’t ask more but said to her, “If you need me, just tell me. Cassie, we are friends, Don’t treat me as an outsider. okay?”
His tone was almost imploring, making it impossible for Cassandra to say no,
Cassandrummed in a low voice and said, “Tll go through the divorce procedures with him tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow? Are you sure?” Michael asked.
I’m sure. Grandpa Peter has agreed. Cassandra replied.
“And you? Can you let it go?” Michael asked in a low voice because he knew best about Cassandra’s feelings for Orlando. After so many years, it was finally going to end. But was she really willing to let go?
Cassandra just smiled and said lightly. “I don’t have the final say. I don’t want to be wronged anymore.”
She was answering Michael’s question, but she was also saying it to herself. The determination in her eyes was clear and thorough.
One day passed by quickly, so quickly that it made Cassandra feel uneasy.
But in the blink of an eye, it was already evening. Orlando also came back from work.
The atmosphere of eating in the Quinn manor these days was particularly good, but now the dinner for three people made her feel very uncomfortable. After all, among the three of them, one of them was always superfluous.
Cassandra remained silent throughout.
But Rebecca said calmly, “Landy. Cassandra said that you will go through with the paperwork tomorrow. So should we also
move out?”
