Chapter 80
The appearance of Benjamin surprised everyone present.
‘Didn’t Mrs. Hathaway say that the Yates family is prohibited from showing up where she is? Why is the Yates family invited to the banquet held by themselves? Mrs. Hathaway would surely be infuriated!‘ everyone mused.
As expected. Sylvia’s face changed in an instant.
“Who let you in? Get out!”
Leonardo stepped forward and said with a serious expression, “Cassandra, do you truly intend to acknowledge Mr. and Mrs. Hathaway as your family? Your biological parents are still around. Because of you, the family is crumbling. Yohan and Ray have left home. Our once–happy families are on the brink of collapse, yet you wish to consider others as your parents. What about us?”
Leonardo didn’t know what his father was thinking. He really wanted Cassandra to go home and live in peace with Yulissa. Cassandra was also the child of the Yates family, so it was normal for her to return to the Yates residence.
Therefore, he wanted to stop this welcome party. Yulissa also promised him that she would get along well with Cassandra in the future and that things like before would never happen again.
Unexpectedly, Cassandra just chuckled when she heard what he said. Her eyes were full of sarcasm as she sneered. “What does it have to do with me? If I remember correctly, we have cut off our relations as evidenced by the statement issued by the official account of Yates Group. How come it doesn’t count when it comes to you, Mr. Leonardo Yates?”
She added, “Yohannes and Raymond ran away from home. However, you don’t examine the reasons within yourselves. Instead, you blame me for all of this. Mr. Leonardo Yates, I have never encountered someone as shameless as you. I speculated that Yohannes ran away because he couldn’t face a sister who had ruined his future, and one has to ask Mr. Benjamin Yates and Mrs. Yates for the reason Raymond ran away from home.”
Everyone’s expression changed.
Those outsiders were anticipating a spectacle to unfold.
‘Wow! Is there a new gossip topic here? Surely, there’s no shortage of gossip when the

Yates Family is involved, everyone thought.
Leonardo was dumbfounded. Indeed, this was the reason Yohannes revealed himself. He knew about the reason Raymond left home too. He felt sorry for Raymond, but he couldn’t take out that much cash.
Leonardo felt helpless, but he was already persuading his father to hire the miracle doctor!
Because it was unrealistic to get the medicine from Kenneth.
“Let’s wait until the welcome party is over. After that, come back with us. Let’s discuss about it.” Leonardo looked at those weird gazes and couldn’t stand them. He could only whisper to ask Cassandra to follow them back first.
“Go back? That’s not your purpose, is it? Why don’t you tell me what Mr. Benjamin Yates wants exactly?”
Cassandra ignored Leonardo. Instead, she swiftly inserted a silver needle into one of his acupoints.
Leonardo instantly went mute. He was so shocked that his face turned pale. He tried to open his mouth to speak but could not say anything.
Yulissa walked to Leonardo with concern and said, “Leo, what’s wrong? Why can’t you speak?”
She reached out, wanting to pull the silver needle out.
“I advise you not to move it. If you want your brother to become mute forever, just pull it out as you wish.”
Yulissa was initially intimidated, but upon reflection, she deemed it improbable for Cassandra to possess the skill to mute people by blocking their Lower Skull Acupoint.
Not believing Cassandra’s words, Yulissa reached out her hand again, but Leonardo dodged her advance nimbly.
Fortunately, Cassandra only muted him but didn’t paralyze him.
Yulissa’s hand hung in the air awkwardly. She was at a loss for what to do. ‘Damn it! How could Leo not believe me?‘ she thought.
A smile crept up Cassandra’s lips as she observed the scene. Her voice was melodious,
but everyone could detect the sarcasm laced within her words. “See, your dear brother

doesn’t believe you. After all, your disbelief broke Raymond’s hand, and your
confidence ruined Yohannes‘ future. If you withdraw the needle, Leonardo will be mute forever!”
Hearing this, Miranda hurriedly pulled Yulissa aside and said, “Calm down. Take your brother to the hospital later.”
Miranda would rather believe in Cassandra’s words than take the risk.
“Mr. Benjamin Yates, please begin your performance.” When Cassandra observed that everyone was composed, she redirected her focus toward Benjamin.
With Kenneth’s reminder, her plan had been expedited.
It was just that Benjamin remained unaware of it.
She wondered whether the Yates family would thank her after knowing that she had prepared such a big surprise for them.
That scene must have been spectacular!
Unfortunately, the Yates Family still had about 7 billion dollars in their possession at the
moment.
Cassandra felt she had left too many assets for them.
But rest assured, she would make sure they spent them out.
“Cassie, you are a member of the Yates Family. What ulterior motives could I possibly have? I just want you to come home with us.”
It was challenging to openly admit that he was targeting the lands. Otherwise, he would become a laughingstock among their competitors.
If words went out that he traded his daughter for a few plots of land, he feared he wouldn’t be able to hold his head high in the future!
“Are you sure you don’t want to bring it up? Your request might be considered if
you speak up now. However, once the opportunity is lost, it will be lost forever.” Cassandra’s words stirred quite a commotion in Benjamin’s heart.
‘Indeed, only if I speak up now and Mr. Hathaway agrees to it publicly, would there be assurance that he won’t backtrack on his word! Otherwise, what if Mr. Hathaway goes back on his words in the future?‘ Benjamin pondered.

“Since the Hathaway family wants to recognize you as their goddaughter, they must present us with a meeting gift. However, up to now, the Hathaway family has made no move at all…”
“I see. They snuck in here to try to reap benefits.”
“What an eye–opener! I didn’t believe what you said just now. Now, it’s so embarrassing!”
“Why is the Yates family so shameless?”
“Yeah, their dignity means nothing when it comes to benefits. Yates Group’s market value has been declining consistently. They’ve incurred more losses in the past half- month than in previous years. How can he not be anxious?”
“I suppose Benjamin has some grand plans while he still has the resources. I think he’s eyeing several plots of land owned by Mr. Hathaway, which are indeed worth developing.
“If you want benefits, no problem. I’ve prepared them for you!” Cassandra was in a jubilant mood. She couldn’t wait to witness Benjamin’s reaction.
Benjamin was a little vigilant about what Cassandra wanted to do.
“I intended to share the good news with you after my SAT. Since you can’t wait, I’ll reveal it now. I own 45% of the shares of Yates Group. As the largest shareholder, I invite you to attend the appointment ceremony of the new Chairman of Yates Group
tomorrow.”
Boom!
Benjamin couldn’t hear Cassandra anymore.
What does she mean by having 45% of the company shares? What appointment is she talking about? How could she have the shares of Yates Group? She must be lying to me!‘ he mused.
“You brat! This joke is not funny at all!” Benjamin didn’t believe Casandra had the capability to achieve this.
“Believe it or not, you’ll find out tomorrow.”
Hearing that, Lucas realized that Cassandra must have leveraged the power of Modern Beacon Synergy. Otherwise, someone like her, who disliked troubles, wouldn’t have purchased shares of Yates Group. Instead, she would have let it go bankrupt. Acquiring

its shares was rather unnecessary.
However, he knew that Cassandra surely had her own plans.
For instance, Yates Group would change its ownership, and the Yates family would be ousted from the company.
Or perhaps she would push for a change in the name of Yates Group.
It was more likely that she would aim for the latter. Most probably, Yates Group would cease to be a part of the Yates family. It would undoubtedly be a devastating blow for Benjamin.
