Chapter 419
Everyone was surprised to hear that Cassandra prepared the food.
They went up one by one and saw that the dining table was groaning under the weight of all the food, such as seafood, steak, chicken, and salads. They were perfect in color, aroma, and taste.
They all looked appetizing. “Are they really prepared by Cassie?” John asked with disbelief.
He thought, ‘They don’t look like the food cooked by my wife. So, it’s very likely that Cassie cooked the dinner.
Selena smiled happily and proudly. She pointed to the two dishes on the table beside her, “Except for these two dishes, Cassie prepared the rest of the food.” She waved at them and continued warmly, “Please sit down and eat more.”
She was happy and grateful at the same time.
Selena was overjoyed when Eddie and Kenneth came back safely from their missions.
Every time they went on a mission, she was so worried that she couldn’t fall asleep. They returned safely this time, accompanied by Cassandra.
Therefore, Selena was deeply grateful to Cassandra.
She was sitting on Cassandra’s right while Kenneth was sitting on Cassandra’s left. Both of them kept putting more food on Cassandra’s plate.
Soon, Cassandra’s plate was full of food. Lydia was a little envious, so she deliberately said to Eddie coquettishly, “Honey, I also want you to serve me food.”
Eddie raised his eyebrows. He thought, ‘Humph, now you know how good I am!‘
But he didn’t say it out. Instead, he showed Lydia respect. “It’s my pleasure,” he said gladly.
Selena immediately looked at Lydia with eyes twinkling with laughter and put two shrimps on Lydia’s plate. “Are you jealous?” she asked.
“Selena, don’t say it out!” Lydia said, acting like a spoiled child.
Their family was so loving that others were envious.

Chapter 419
“Well, your family is happy and harmonious. Both of my wife and my daughter- in–law are domineering. They always fight with each other. I envy you!” One of John’s former commanders said to John with envy in his eyes.
John’s son was filial. His daughter–in–law was well–behaved and lovely. Both his wife and daughter–in–law got on pretty well together. What a model family!
John immediately sat up straight and said proudly, “That’s right. Lydia is very excellent. Selena and I are fond of her very much. Selena and Lydia are getting along very well.”
He was happy and thankful every day.
Hearing this, Hector became more envious. He felt that John was deliberately showing off his family.
Cassandra was also envious of Lydia, who had won the elders‘ favor.
The dinner lasted about two hours. They chatted cheerfully as they ate and drank. At last, they almost finished all the food on the table.
At about 10 p.m., Kenneth was ready to go back with Cassandra.
*****
When they came back to Pinehart Mansion, Kenneth was surprised to see Lucas, Sylvia, and Hugo in the living room.
Sylvia immediately stepped forward and walked around Cassandra with tears in her eyes. “Cassie, you made Lucas and I worry sick.”
Cassandra had been away for a long time. They wouldn’t have known she was back if John hadn’t shared photos on Twitter announcing the hero’s return.
They wouldn’t have known if Hugo didn’t tell them the truth.
Cassandra was bold enough to go to the place of drug dealers in Hydias alone. Did she want to kill herself?
“Sylvia, I’m fine. Don’t worry,” Cassandra chuckled, comforting Sylvia.
Lucas was also furious. “Kenneth, I entrusted Cassie to your care, but I didn’t expect you to take her to such a far–away and dangerous place!” he yelled, glaring at Ken
“I’m sorry, Lucas. It was my fault. I should have thought about it more carefully,”
Chapter 419
Kenneth said sincerely, lowering his head.
At that time, he could have taken Cassandra back to Drieso, but he still chose to let her go to the place of drug dealers.
He didn’t want to put Cassandra in danger, but he still did.
“I decided to go there. Kenneth tried to stop me, but I didn’t listen. I didn’t want to miss out on such a good opportunity,” Cassandra defended Kenneth.
At that time, they were unable to contact each other. She had already arrived in Hydias, so it was unrealistic for her to leave again.
Lucas was a little bit disappointed. Why did Cassandra keep defending Kenneth? Kenneth let her go there this time. What if she wanted to go to more dangerous places next time?
“Lucas, Kenneth also went with me. He went undercover to protect me. Please don’t blame him for that,” Cassandra continued to explain.
Lucas was a little surprised. He knew Kenneth was the head of Falcon Special Operations Force. He couldn’t believe he delegated command to others and went undercover.
He looked at Kenneth inquiringly, as if to think about if Cassandra’s words were
true.
But Cassandra would never lie, so what she said was probably true.
He thought, ‘Humph! Kenneth did the right thing.‘ He wouldn’t let Kenneth go if something bad happened to Cassandra.
Hugo was also in tears. Fortunately, Cassandra returned safely this time, he would be to blame.
Whitecrane Hall’s business stopped for the time being. Employees were already given one month off as paid leave. He couldn’t eat his word and cancel their holiday now. Whitecrane Hall suffered a big loss this time.
Thank goodness Cassandra was safe and sound.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Yates. I shouldn’t have reported it to you in the first place,” Hugo
said.
The more he thought about it, the scarier he became.

Chapter 419
“Don’t apologize to me, Hugo. If it were not for you, I wouldn’t have gone there. did a good thing and everyone is happy,” Cassandra said.
They dismantled the drug den and arrested drug dealers. The results are unprecedented!
Cassandra suddenly realized what she wanted to do in the future. Apart from being a traditional medicine practitioner, she also wanted to do more things for the country.
The arrest of drug dealers not only rewarded Lucas‘ efforts but also made everyone pleased. On their way to the airport, they could see that the crowd was happy from their smiling faces. Kenneth, Eddie, and Lucas protected and helped them.
Perhaps in the future, she wanted to do the same thing.
Knowing she was comforting him, Hugo felt a little ashamed.
“Ms. Yates…” he stuttered.
Hugo felt fortunate that Cassandra was safe and sound. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to live with this. Blossom entrusted Cassandra to his care. He couldn’t let anything bad to her!
“Stop worrying about me, Lucas, Sylvia, and Hugo! I’m safe and sound. Please rest assured,” Cassandra said, trying to reassure them.
She wouldn’t let the people who cared about her worry.
Sylvia held Cassandra in her arms and said, “Good girl! You are our pride!”
