Chapter 361
When Leanna woke up the next day, Darren and Harper were awake, sitting there asking if Leanna felt all right as if nothing had happened.
However, Darren didn’t look well.
After he woke up and turned on his phone, he received countless calls and messages asking about the same thing.
He wondered whether Leanna had made it public.
He also received a lot of calls from Maximilian but he didn’t answer any of them. He just opened Twitter and checked what Leanna had posted.
The more he read it, the deeper was his frown. He could understand why Leanna wanted to send this tweet because he thought about doing so too but this would push Cassie to face public opinion, which was why he didn’t do it.
But he didn’t understand why Leanna posted it two days later.
What was even more hard to fathom was Cassandra’s reply: [Get away from me!] It made him angrier that his own daughter used these words to reply to her mother.
Harper looked upset. He thought, ‘How did this happen? Making it public is forcing Cassandra to admit it!
‘We’re here to get my sister back home, not force her to do anything!‘
Harper asked with a sullen face because he couldn’t agree with what Leanna had done, “Dad, can you explain what is happening on Twitter? Aren’t you afraid of having a bad influence on Cassie if you do nothing?”
Darren said, “Don’t you want my sister to get back to us? This matter has an impact. on her. But she gets back to us, we can make up for it.” Although he didn’t agree with Leanna, he always supported her unconditionally.
Although Darren didn’t know why Leanna couldn’t wait to make this announcement, he could feel that Leanna was doing it for him.
When Leanna woke up, she was happy to see the two most important people in her life had woken up. She looked surprised. “Darren, Harper, are you feeling all right?”
Darren asked gently, “Of course, you should worry about yourself. How are you feeling now?” They looked affectionate.

Leanna said, “Are you all right? Aren’t you guys…” She didn’t know if it was all right to say this, afraid that they would be reminded of something bad.
But they seemed to forget everything about it.
Darren asked, “What?”
Leanna said, “Nothing.” They just had a psychological consultation. Now it was not a good time to bring up that matter.
Darren asked, “Are you feeling better?”
Leanna chuckled, “I’m fine. The doctor said that the little poison would not recur or hurt me, so it’s no problem.” She didn’t blame Cassandra for poisoning her but she would never let Cassandra get away with it after Cassandra hurt Darren and Harper.
Darren nodded and said gently, “How about we meet the Yates family? Dad called me in the morning.”
Darren could guess what Maximilian was going to say. However, they needed to face this matter together. Cassandra was his granddaughter so Darren thought he had a say.
She said, “OK.”
At the Yates residence, as soon as Darren, Leanna, and Harper walked into the living room, they found the atmosphere was weird.
Darren had a bad feeling.
Darren greeted them, managing to suppress his anxiety. “Dad, we’re back.”
Maximilian looked at Darren, Leanna, and Harper expressionlessly and said, “Being a prince consort is really something different. I invited you several times.”
He was holding a crutch. He hit the tip of it on the floor twice. The clear sound was the only sound after his voice for a while.
Darren explained, feeling helpless, “Dad, something happened to Leanna. We’ve been in the hospital these days.”
Maximilian said, “She has time to send a post on Twitter in the hospital to shape public opinion to make netizens put pressure on Cassandra? What is the real

purpose of her hospitalization?”
Maximilian didn’t know Leanna was poisoned. Kenneth made sure no one else knew it. Therefore, Maximilian thought Leanna was hospitalized to put more pressure on Cassandra. Many people had posted photos of them in the hospital online and public opinion began to change.
were
Darren was a little angry that his father thought they scheming. “Dad, we haven’t seen each other for so many years. That is what you think of me? Leanna was poisoned but it’s not serious. Can’t she be hospitalized for that?”
Maximilian’s face softened a little for a brief moment but when he remembered Leanna’s rosy face, he didn’t think she was poisoned.
Maximilian said, “Only you two know whether it is true.” He looked away from Darren and turned to Leanna. “Leanna, do you still think I am your father–in–law?”
Leanna was a little confused and subconsciously said what she thought, “Dad, what do you mean? You will always be me and Darren’s father and Harper and Cassie’s grandfather.”
Maximilian snarled, “I cannot be Cassie’s grandfather. Even if we’re related by blood, I don’t deserve it.”
Leanna said, “Darren and I are Cassie’s parents. You are Darren’s father so of course you are her grandfather.”
Maximilian hit his crutch on the floor again, signaling Leanna to shut up. “So, you made it public against her will so that she will be attacked by the public. What’s the difference between you and the Benjamin family?
“You said you were Cassie’s parents. What proof do you have? How can you say you are her parents after 19 years of absence? Have you ever spent a penny on her and taken care of her for one day? Why didn’t you choose her when you had to take only one of them with you? Because she was healthy? Was it her fault?”
Just now, Cassandra released the recording of a conversation between her and Darren. They mentioned their adopted son and that Leanna was poisoned because
of her.
It seemed they hadn’t seen everything about it. So, they were still so calm.
Maximilian said, “Did Leanna’s poison have anything to do with Cassie? When you chose to keep the kids, did you think about their feelings? You didn’t take her with you after she was born. Even though you had no choice, why didn’t you wait for

us? Thomas was also in surgery. Didn’t you ever wonder if I read the text message?
“Just because Cassie was born healthy, you blamed her for it and let her bear the consequences. Now you take it for granted. How can a Yates be so shameless?”
The more Maximilian spoke, the angrier he became. He threw his crutch directly
at Darren!
Maximilian said, “I’ve forced Cassie once. She just told me what she really thought. I fainted and everyone blamed it on her. We have subconsciously made a bad choice. Why keep pestering her?”
Kayden just said that Cassandra didn’t dislike him very much. Maximilian did not want her to get back to the Yates family. He just didn’t want her to treat them as strangers.
But now, everything was back to the starting point.
