Chapter 79
Lucas and Sylvia went to Springmount Townhouse.
They sat opposite Cassandra obediently and looked at each other awkwardly. It was Sylvia who took the initiative to break the silence. “Cassic…*
“Sylvia, why didn’t you tell me in advance that you were going to organize a welcome party?”
She was caught off guard.
When the Yates family mentioned that to her, she had no idea about it at all. It was Kenneth who told her. Otherwise, she would still be kept in the dark.
She thought, ‘Aren’t they just afraid I won’t make it back in time while they depart?‘
“Cassie, you’re already a member of our family. It’s normal for us to hold a welcome party for you. Don’t be unhappy. Consider this a way to satisfy my own desire. I’ve wanted a daughter all my life. You could have been my daughter long ago, but…”
Sylvia thought, ‘You insisted on reuniting with the nuisances that are Benjamin and Miranda. You must have regretted your decision now, right?‘
The more Sylvia thought about it, the more distressed she felt. She thought, ‘This welcome party must be held. I want everyone to know that Cassandra is my child and no one should even think of bullying her!‘
Cassandra was a little helpless and had to compromise. “I didn’t say you can’t organize the party. It’s just that you should have told me first. I wasn’t prepared at all.”
Cassandra knew that Sylvia treated her sincerely and wanted her to be their daughter. Still, Cassandra figured someone like her probably wasn’t worthy of that privilege.
“You don’t need to prepare anything. You just have to show up stunningly. You will be my nominal daughter from now on. You can do as you please in Drieso in the future!”
Lucas patted his thigh in agitation.
However, he wasn’t entirely right. With Cassandra’s current abilities, she could already do as she pleased in Drieso, and no one could lay a finger on her.
Cassandra was rendered speechless, thinking, “That’s not necessary.’
Eventually, Cassandra compromised and let them do what they wanted.

They were one of the few people in the world who treated her sincerely.
At that time, if it hadn’t been for the 100 thousand dollars Lucas spent to save her grandmother, Cassandra might have become an orphan at the age of ten. If it hadn’t been for Sylvia’s assistance, Elaine wouldn’t exist now.
Cassandra thought, ‘In my previous life, I hurt them. In this life, I’ll be patient and avoid upsetting them again. Therefore, they can do as they wish as long as they’re happy.‘
On the 25th of May, a welcome party was held at the Hathaway residence in Drieso.
Most of the famous people in Drieso attended that party. As Lucas personally organized the party, he also drafted each invitation letter in person.
For the guests, receiving the invitation was a kind of recognition.
That way, it would make the guests feel more prestigious to attend such an event.
A guest asked, “Do any of you know the insider news about this welcome party hosted by Mr. Hathaway?”
Another guest replied, “I know this. The girl Mr. Hathaway wants to take as his goddaughter is the Yates family’s biological daughter, but the Yates family had treated her badly and even sent a statement breaking off relations with her. However, this girl was raised with the support of Mr. Hathaway, and Mrs. Hathaway accompanied her as she grew up. They liked her so much that they couldn’t wait to adopt her as their goddaughter.”
Another guest said, “I’ve heard about it too. The Yates family dotes on the imposter while practically abusing the real daughter of their family!”
Another guest said, “I participated in the charity gala last time. Yulissa is really despicable for setting Cassandra up in that manner. If I were Cassandra’s mother, I wouldn’t let someone like Yulissa go. However, Benjamin and Miranda shifted all the blame onto Cassandra. Perhaps Cassandra is now thoroughly hurt and disappointed
with them.”
Another guest chimed in, “Alas, she’s such a pitiful child. She must be extraordinary for Mr. Hathaway to take her as his goddaughter.”
One of the guests responded, “Don’t you know? Cassandra is amazing. She’s actually the famous Elaine, as well as the renowned songwriter, Samantha, in the entertainment industry. These two statuses of hers could already allow her to do as she pleases in

Drieso without needing to rely on anyone else.”
“Doesn’t that mean the Yates family had cast away a real gem?”
“Who can they blame for their poor judgment? I should warn all of you. Mrs. Hathaway previously declared that if any of us dared to invite her and members of the Yates. family to the same banquet, that would be an act of opposing her. I suggest none of you provoke her.”
The ladies gathered around and chatted with each other. Miranda and Benjamin’s faces turned pale after they heard that.
Yulissa and Leonardo also looked pale.
They felt like the Yates family’s reputation was being dragged through the mud.
They were utterly ashamed.
The Yates family used a lot of connections and even spent tens of millions of dollars to get an extra invitation from someone.
Unbeknownst to them, all the money they spent went into Lucas‘ pocket and finally into Cassandra’s bank card.
Benjamin was willing to pay to attend the party. That proved the Yates family wanted to gain some benefit from Cassandra. Lucas was curious to see what tricks the group of monsters and freaks could pull.
Therefore, he asked the man the Yates family approached to deliberately make things difficult for them for a long time. In the end, the Yates family forked out 100 million dollars. The man handed the sum to Lucas, and Lucas gave it to Cassandra, considering that amount as compensation for the Yates family’s years of maltreatment toward her.
Unexpectedly, after the Yates family members entered the venue, all they heard were derogatory remarks about their family.
Benjamin knew that Cassandra’s current identity could bring glory to the Yates family, which was why they insisted on attending the party.
They wanted Lucas to admit that he had stolen their daughter in front of everyone, and since Lucas had snatched Cassandra from them, they should be compensated.
No matter what, Cassandra was still a member of the Yates family. Regardless of the Yates family members‘ willingness to accept her, they wouldn’t allow anyone to take advantage of them.

Benjamin thought, ‘Since Mr. Hathaway wants to take Cassandra as his goddaughter, he’ll have to give us lands in exchange!‘
Yulissa’s countenance became contorted. Her malice was evident.
She thought, ‘Why? Why is everyone praising Cassandra? I’m the role model they should be complimenting. Why did everything change when Cassandra came back?‘
“Welcome to the welcome party I hosted. This is my wife, Sylvia.”
That was Lucas‘ habit. Whenever they attended an event together, his wife would stand next to him whenever he gave a speech. Moreover, he would also introduce her in a grand manner every time.
The audience applauded.
Sylvia asked Cassandra to stand between her and Lucas. Lucas stretched out his left hand and introduced, “This is the protagonist of today’s banquet. She’s also the only child my wife and I have wished to take as goddaughter for so many years. Not long ago, she formally joined the Hathaway family. Therefore, from now on, she will be a child of the Hathaway family.”
Holding Cassandra with one hand, Sylvia added, “From now on, I will deem anyone who dares to bully Cassie to be opposing me. Whoever upsets her upsets me. When I’m upset, I’ll make sure the culprit pays a dear price!”
Her threatening speech brimmed with her protectiveness toward Cassandra.
However, at that moment, Benjamin suddenly stepped forward and said, “Mrs.
Hathaway, that’s not right. Cassie is a member of the Yates family. Did you seek my
opinion before letting her in your family?”
