How Death Became My Rebirth by Evelyn Florence ( Cassandra ) Chapter 48

Chapter 48
“Mrs. Yates, you just need to go into my 108-square-foot storeroom, and you’ll see if the clothes you bought are in there. There’s not even a single piece of thrifted goods. How do you have the nerve to say I wore the clothes you bought?”
Miranda’s face turned red. Indeed, she did not check the room or know what environment Cassandra lived in.
‘I don’t even want to accept her as my daughter, let alone hope to see her!’
Leonardo’s expression cracked and turned strange. He even seemed a little ashamed.
That was because he went into the room to look for Cassandra’s aromatherapy candle but could not find it.
Inside the 108-square-foot room were nothing but a bed, a housekeeper’s second-hand wardrobe, a pair of jeans, and a T-shirt, heavily discolored from numerous washing.
There was not even a window in the room. It was pitch black when the door was closed.
‘So, this was Cassandra’s life in the Yates residence.
In the recording, Yulissa said she deliberately expanded her room by taking over the one Leonardo had prepared for Cassandra.
Without a room, Cassandra could only live in the storeroom. She could not even stay in the guest room.
Back then, Yulissa said she would feel bad if they let Cassandra stay in the guestroom as if they considered her a guest.
Yet, she lived in such a place.
[How shocking! Is that where Cassandra lived in the Yates residence? A 108-square-foot storeroom? Not even a dog wants to stay there!]
[My dog has a 215-square-foot room for him to play in.]
[Ordinary people wouldn’t even prepare a storeroom for others to stay in, let alone Cassandra, their own daughter. What is the Yates family doing?]
[That adopted daughter of the Yates family truly is rotten to the core. She did 1 everything deliberately. She even wanted to send Cassandra to Desert Island: That place sounds terrible just by the sound of it!]
[I heard Mr. Yates accidentally got Desert Island two years ago. It’s filled with beasts, and people won’t survive three days on that island. Doesn’t this mean they want Cassandra

to die?]
Lucas was so furious he could not wait to end the Yates residence with his own hands,
Sylvia burst into tears upon hearing this. Just what has Cassie experienced? Why would she have such parents?”
Kenneth was expressionless. ‘It seems the Yates family has not learned their lesson after losing millions of dollars.
Indeed, after Yulissa’s birthday banquet, several business partners canceled their contract with Yates Group, causing them to lose 320 million dollars. Benjamin was heartbroken over this for a long time.
Kenneth was behind everything. He did this as a slight warning but did not expect the Yates family to ignore it.
If so, let’s acquire Yates Group.’
Benjamin felt like a monkey being watched and laughed at by spectators.
His face felt hot, and he was embarrassed.
‘It’s done. We’re finished. We, the Yates family, have lost all our reputation!’
Yulissa took a few steps back out of guilt. She could not handle Leonardo’s questioning eyes, and even Miranda did not defend her.
“I… I… Mom, I didn’t do it on purpose. That wasn’t me in the video.”
Yulissa shook her head desperately as she tried to deny it, but the surveillance footage caught her off guard.
‘I clearly found that the terrace was a blind spot with no surveillance cameras, but why are there suddenly surveillance cameras? Why would Cassandra know there were surveillance cameras?’
“Ms. Yates, you aren’t going to say I edited this, are you? That I knew in advance what kind of dress or style you wore. Then, I had someone use Al to change the face. Or did you think I performed a play here with someone else and asked Mr. Yannick to edit a video without flaws within five minutes?”
Cassandra planned to get to the bottom of this that day.
She had planned to ignore this that night, as she did not want to ruin the charity gala Lucas held. However, the goody two-shoes kept provoking her endlessly.
Sylvia suddenly stepped forward and said angrily, “I thought you were just playing

tricks to compete for favor. I didn’t expect you to be so malicious. I don’t even know how to comment on the Yates family’s education!”

“From today onward, I will refuse all invitations to any events as long as the Yates family is involved. I will blacklist the Yates family from now on,” Sylvia declared.
Benjamin’s face turned pale, and he quickly tried to please her, saying, “Mrs. Hathaway, this is all a misunderstanding. Please forgive us for this petty mistake.”
Being blacklisted by Sylvia meant the Yates family could not get involved with the government and compete for government projects.
This was equivalent to breaking one of the Yates family’s livelihood paths.
“Lisa, come over here and apologize to Mrs. Hathaway!”
Yulissa almost lost her footing as her body swayed slightly.
‘What? Dad is asking me to apologize? Is he disappointed in me? No, this can’t be!’
Yulissa timidly walked toward Sylvia and apologized, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Hathaway. I—”
“I’m not the person you should be apologizing to. You should know better than anyone who that person is.”
Yulissa looked up at Sylvia in disbelief.
‘Is she asking me to apologize to Cassandra? Impossible!’
“Lisa, apologize!”
Benjamin’s strict voice was hard for Yulissa to accept.
Yet, now that things had reached this point, she could not refuse to bow down.
‘Don’t think you’ve won, Cassandra. As long as I’m in the Yates family, you’ll always be the outsider.’
“I’m sorry, Cassandra. It’s all my fault. You can punish me however you want, and I’ll accept it!” Yulissa lowered her head as she apologized with a choked voice.
“I can do whatever I want?” Cassandra smirked and asked contemptuously.
“Yes. I won’t complain, even if you want to hit me.”
Yulissa looked like she was ready to die, as if it was for the sake of the Yates family.
Cassandra stared at her for two seconds. ‘Since she made such a request, I won’t hold
back.’

Cassandra slowly raised her hand. Just as everyone thought she would slap Yulissa, a sudden turn of events happened.
Thud!
“Ah!”
Someone fell into the water.
‘Everyone was shocked, as they did not expect Cassandra to push Yulissa into the pool.
When everyone looked over, Yulissa swam to the poolside as fast as she could and climbed out.
Leonardo was about to question Cassandra when she spoke first.
“Since she accused that I pushed her into the pool, I shall turn it into the truth. Otherwise, you might be quite troubled without evidence.”
“You…”
“Mr. Yates, look. Your sister, Yulissa, swims so well. While you stood by the poolside, she had already gotten out of the pool before you could react. What happened just now? Was she splashing around in the pool for so long while waiting for you to come out of the banquet hall?”
‘How puzzling!’
Cassandra’s voice made Yulissa freeze at the poolside.
She was about to so b when Cassandra stopped her.
However, Miranda still defended Yulissa, “Maybe she didn’t have time to react just now.”
“You’re right, Mrs. Yates. You have a point.” Cassandra finally got revenge, but this meant nothing. After all, it was more meaningful to defeat others in their proudest areas.
“The farce ends now! Jeremiah, send me back.”
“Got it!”
Kenneth’s eyes were burning with jealousy and madness.
‘Why did Cassie ask Jeremiah to send her back? What’s their relationship?’
