“Ray got hurt because of you. If you and your partner hadn’t hit him with a car, he wouldn’t have become like this. Don’t you feel guilty?”
Leonardo was so disappointed in Cassandra!
He couldn’t believe what she had just said. She just didn’t see herself as part of the Yates . family!
Cassandra really admired Leonardo’s ability to twist the truth. She couldn’t help but want to applaud him!
“Are you saying that I hit him with my car?”
“Are you trying to deny it? Yulissa saw it with her own eyes!”
“If that’s the case, she must be very blind! Please check the surveillance footage and see what really happened that night. If it weren’t for me and Jeremiah, do you think your baby sister could stand here in one piece? If it weren’t for me, Raymond would not have left the hospital alive. Raymond is shameless. I saved him, yet he accused me of hitting him. Yulissa, you are shameless too. Your entire family is pathetic!”
After all, if Cassandra wanted Raymond to suffer, she would hit their car. She would instead watch him and Yulissa fall off the cliff!
“They will not be able to argue with me with such faces if I really let that happen,‘ she thought.
“What do you mean?” Leonardo didn’t understand what Cassandra said.
“Leo, let’s not confront Cassandra. Let’s leave.”
Yulissa hurriedly stopped Leonardo from asking more questions. She worried that Cassandra would say something that would put her in a tight spot!
She just couldn’t let that happen!
“Why are you interrupting and trying to stop me from saying anything further? Yulissa, why are you feeling guilty?”
Cassandra’s presence was imposing. If it hadn’t been for Miranda’s slap, she would have remained composed.
Unfortunately, they had intentionally come to cause her trouble.
“I… I’m not!”

Chapter 45
Cassandra ignored Yulissa’s pretentious acts. She felt sick whenever she watched it.
“Leonardo, it was Raymond who proposed changing the rules before the race that day. To surpass Jeremiah, he opted to accelerate, but his younger sister, Yulissa, got scared at that crucial moment and pulled his steering wheel. The car went out of control, swaying on the winding road. I don’t need to remind you how thrilling that was, do I?”
She then added, “On the last curve, Yulissa even leaned half of her body onto Raymond to grab the steering wheel from him. If it weren’t for me and Jeremiah hitting the car, your family would be mourning the loss of two.members instead of shouting in front of me! After the car stopped, Yulissa ran away without looking back. She abandoned the injured Raymond. She ran so fast, directly got into the car, and left without asking anyone to check on him.”
Cassandra didn’t stop there. “If it weren’t for my mercy, do you think Mr. Raymond Yates would have just lost his hand? What right do you, a bunch of ungrateful fools, have to demand my things as if you deserve them?”
‘Since you’re trying to stop me from telling the truth, I shall make it known to everyone!‘ thought Cassandra.
Leonardo’s face turned pale as he was shocked by the truth. He looked at Yulissa in disbelief. His expression seemed as if he was asking Yulissa if it was true.
The color drained from Yulissa’s face. She then pretended to be calm. “Don’t try to slander me. It was you who deliberately bumped into us to get revenge on me and Ray, ultimately causing Ray to lose his hand!”
‘I won’t admit it! Anyway, I have spent money to destroy the surveillance footage. They won’t be able to find out the truth!‘ thought Yulissa.
“You can say whatever you want to say. You have already paid money to get the surveillance footage from that night. What are you scared of?”
Cassandra’s contemptuous eyes put Yulissa in an incredibly embarrassing spot!
‘Cassandra, why are you here? Why don’t you go to hell!‘ she thought.
“Leo, don’t you believe me? I will never lie.”
Cassandra was speechless.
Cassandra thought, ‘The queen of liars swearing that she never lies is the biggest lie she has ever told.’
“You are free to investigate the truth, and it’s your choice to trust Yulissa. However, the medicine is mine, and how I choose to handle it is my business, not yours. The Yates

family has no say in the matter!”
Turning away, Cassandra strolled toward the cocktail party. The presence of the Yates family always seemed to taint the air, a feeling she couldn’t shake.
Benjamin seethed with anger at Cassandra’s demeanor.

Nonetheless, considering Cassandra had the miracle doctor’s medicine in her possession, it meant that she had the means to locate Faye and have him treat Raymond. At that moment, they could negotiate the terms and secure the treatment at the price they desired!
At the cocktail party, Cassandra found herself compelled to accompany Sylvia, who insisted on introducing her to more people.
. The intention was clear–to have these connections at Cassandra’s disposal in the
future.
“Cassandra, I want to talk to you. Can you come out with me for a moment?”
The earlier discontent appeared to have vanished for Yulissa. Despite only a few moments having passed, she sought out Cassandra with a conciliatory demeanor.
“What can’t we talk here? We don’t have any secrets between us!”
Cassandra’s words implied her rejection.
Yulissa blinked her bright eyes, and tears started to roll down her cheeks.
“Cassandra, I really want to talk to you. Can you not decline my request?”
“Okay, let’s go.”
Cassandra really wanted to see what Yulissa was up to.
In her past life, Miranda had requested Yulissa to accompany her to this specific charity gala. At the same time and location, Yulissa urged Cassandra to join her on the second- floor terrace in that life, too. However, things took a sudden turn when Yulissa ended up falling into the first–floor swimming pool.
Leonardo nervously rescued her, and tearfully, she accused Cassandra of pushing her.
‘It seems like a good show would be starting soon!‘ thought Cassandra.
They arrived at the second floor’s terrace. A place Cassandra was familiar with.
“What do you want to talk about?” Cassandra looked at Yulissa quietly.

“Cassandra, are you upset? Naturally, you would be. Mom, Dad, and the brothers only favor me and not you, after all.”
Cassandra snorted and said contemptuously, “Do you think I still care?”
Yulissa continued, “How can you not care? They are your biological parents and brothers. Yet, they are so nice to me. How could you not be jealous?”
“So what if I’m jealous? So what if I’m not?”
“Cassandra, I simply wish to witness you feeling isolated when jealousy takes hold. I’ve lived in the Yates residence for eighteen years, and this is my home. How can an outsider like you be permitted to enter our family? Isn’t that right, Cassandra?”
“So, you intentionally arranged a storeroom for me to use as a bedroom upon my return. You harassed me while falsely portraying to the entire clueless Yates family that I was the one mistreating you? Yulissa, is it really interesting to do all that?”

Cassandra had known that Yulissa was a wolf in sheep’s clothing since she woke up. She always acted differently before different people. However, Yulissa’s mistake was to deem Cassandra a timid person.
“It’s intriguing. Prior to your return, I expanded my room and claimed the space Leo had set up for you. I informed Mom and Dad that I lacked room for my new clothes and bags, prompting them to knock down the wall of that room and merge it with mine. Does that upset you?”
Even though Leonardo harbored a dislike for the sister he had never met, Cassandra was still connected to him by blood. As the eldest son of the family, he couldn’t push things too far, so he attempted to treat both sisters fairly.
He arranged a room for Cassandra, albeit smaller than Yulissa’s. However, Yulissa was not willing to let that country bumpkin snatch her brother’s affection away from her.
“You asked me to come here to listen to that?”
‘I’m sorry, but I’m not interested in wasting more time with you!‘ thought Cassandra.
“No.” Yulissa advanced toward Cassandra, and they reached the edge of the terrace. “Cassandra, answer me this. If you were to push me into the swimming pool, do you think Leo would take you to Desert Island? That’s a treasure he acquired unexpectedly.”
After saying that, Yulissa suddenly grabbed Cassandra’s hand and said, “Ah! Cassandra, help me!”
Bang!
“Ah! Someone fell into the water!” The waiter was startled!

Everyone walked toward the terrace.
“Who fell into the water?”
“It’s the daughter of the Yates family!”
