Chapter 174
After Matthew’s examination, it turned out he only had some bruising on his knee, nothing serious.
However, after learning about Jasper’s condition, he was shocked.
He thought that Cassandra didn’t hesitate to break Jasper’s hand because she really wanted to kill them.
But he couldn’t figure out what kind of resentment towards them Cassandra was harboring and why she could be so ruthless to them.
And he couldn’t understand his weird dreams.
“Leo, please call a doctor for treatment first. We’ll figure out a way to settle the problem of money. Besides, I still own three houses. Let me sell one first.”
He only had the real estate now, and he didn’t know how long the family could hold on.
Leonardo nodded. There were no other things they could do.
“Matthew, did Cassie say anything to you today? Or what did you say to her?” asked Leonardo.
In his opinion, Cassandra would only take action after they provoked her. He thought that Frederick or Jasper must have said something terrible to Cassandra.
“We didn’t say anything else. We just asked her to come with us to see Dad. She said if we could defeat her three to one, she would come.”
Leonardo was speechless.
He thought that the three of them were really causing trouble for themselves.
Back then, he had sent so many people to give a lesson to her, but they all ended up being subdued by her.
The three of them could only be abused.
Leonardo could only say to himself that they deserved it.
Matthew suddenly thought about something and said, “By the way, Cassandra also said. that she had nothing to do with us. The biological child Dad was looking for had died within a few days after being abandoned by Mom. As for why the paternity test between Dad and her turned out to be positive, she didn’t know it.”
Leonardo was stunned and thought, “What does that mean?
О
‘Cassandra isn’t Dad’s daughter?
‘Didn’t Dad say that Cassandra was his daughter and ask us to find her?
‘But now, what did Cassandra say? The child of Dad’s first love was dead?
‘And the child died because of Mom?”
Matthew added, “Cassandra also said that she has been looking for Dad’s first love. At that time, the woman might investigate Mom’s murder.”
Bang!
It was Miranda. The fruit she had just bought fell to the ground after she heard her son’s words.
“Mat, what do you mean? When did I kill anyone? I didn’t! I didn’t!”
Miranda denied it.
She thought, ‘When did I commit murder? I didn’t do anything!
“What was about the baby they just mentioned? Who was it?”
“Mom, calm down.”
Matthew felt a little helpless. Looking at Miranda’s panic, he felt sorry for her.
He told them exactly what Cassandra had said.
Miranda didn’t believe what he said. She shook her head in disbelief.
“The baby was fine, and I left her at the gate of the orphanage. How could she die? I didn’t kill her! That was her destiny! She was doomed to die! It has nothing to do with
me.”
Miranda thought, ‘It was not my fault! That baby was doomed to die!”
“Leo, help me. Don’t let Cassandra find that woman. If she shows up, your father will leave me.” Miranda was terrified at the thought of those desolate and cold nights in the past.
Benjamin could never for
Benjamin could never forget his first love. Miranda wondered why she had to live in that woman’s shadow after so many years.
“Mom, you…”
Leonardo felt that his mother was completely beyond help.
O
He thought, ‘How could Mom say such things? That was an innocent baby! How could she blame the baby for not surviving?”
He felt that he had never understood his mother.
“Mom, that baby died because you abandoned her. You should be responsible for it.” Matthew didn’t care about other things and said it directly.
Miranda slapped him.
“What nonsense are you talking about? I don’t need to take any responsibility. You’re talking nonsense.”
Miranda looked at Matthew as if he were her enemy.
Matthew tilted his head and covered his face. Then, he glanced at Miranda and left with a wry smile.
But he thought, “Why can’t I say it?”
The next day, Kayden took Yasmine and Jessica to Springmount Townhouse to find Cassandra under their threat.
The moment Cassandra opened the door, Kayden raised his hand and said, “Cassandra, I’m
sorry. I didn’t mean to let them know your address. I just couldn’t withstand the pressure from my mom and Aunt Jessica.”
These two women were so powerful.
They even threatened him with arranging blind dates!
And the worst part was that Yasmine actually took out a thick stack of photos. There was. no need to guess. The photos must be of noble ladies.
It was so terrifying that Kayden couldn’t think about anything more horrible!
As a result, he had no choice but to bring them here.
Cassandra smiled faintly. She didn’t care much about it. Then she said, “Mrs. Yates, please come in.”
Their attitudes towards her were good yesterday, so she thought she should treat them. politely.
However, Yasmine and Jessica couldn’t accept the way Cassandra called them.

Yasmine nervously held onto Cassandra’s hand and said, “Cassie, what’s going on? It has only been one night, and you don’t accept us as your family?”
To them, “Mrs. Yates” sounded colder than addressing a stranger.
Cassandra just nodded and said, without further explanation, “Just come in first.”
Hugo had prepared a lot of fruits before leaving, saving her the trouble. Cassandra brought a plate of watermelon and blueberries and placed the plate on the coffee table.
“Cassie, don’t scare us. Are you no longer treating us as your aunts?” asked Jessica.
She felt a bit uneasy too.
Cassandra explained patiently, “As for the paternity test, I don’t know how to believe it. At least, the reason Maximilian gave me was not enough for me to convince myself to be a part of your family.
“Besides, the matters between Benjamin’s family and me have caused quite a stir. I believe you should all know about it. So, for now, I don’t want to acknowledge any family.”
If there was another misunderstanding, she really couldn’t bear it.
Hearing this, Kayden was a little unhappy and said, “How could you compare our family with Benjamin’s? Even Benjamin is a nobody to me, okay? You know the way Thomas and I get along with each other. Do you think our family is a place where family members scheme against each other? At least there is no fake daughter in our family. You are the only one.”
Kayden had to make sure the cousin he finally found came back to his family.
Even Kenneth, who wanted to be Cassandra’s boyfriend, would have to pass his test first.
Cassandra said, “Mr. Yates, I understand what you’re saying, but I hope you can. understand me.”
Yasmine and Jessica were a little worried and regretful.
They regretted not having found Cassandra earlier. Otherwise, they could have taken her out as their daughter.
But they also understood that it was normal not to be able to accept it for a while.
“Well… We’ll give you time to think about it, and we won’t come to disturb you often. But we should meet occasionally, right?” Yasmine tried to persuade Cassandra. She added, “By the way, I bought a lot of dresses for you. I got them yesterday. I thought you would live in the Yates manor in the future, so I put them all into the room

prepared for you by Maximilian.
“I’ll have Kayden send them over to you later. Please don’t refuse me.”
Jessica interjected, “I also bought you a lot of gifts, from childhood to adulthood. I’ll have Thomas bring them to you.”
Cassandra’s expression was a little complicated, but it didn’t last long.
