Chapter 449
Kenneth thought he had heard the sound that was the most beautiful in the world echoing
in his ears.
He finally heard this word from Cassandra’s mouth and he felt his life complete.
But Cassandra immediately vanished after that.
The door of the bathroom was slammed shut.
Kenneth laughed but the excitement in his eyes could not be dispelled.
He walked slowly to the bathroom door and then knocked on it. “Honey, can you open the
door?”
Cassandra said firmly, “No.”
She knew if she opened the door now, she would soon feel like she was dismantled. She didn’t want to go out. The result of that was decided.
Kenneth said, “Good girl, I won’t do anything to you. You have to trust me, honey.” He felt a little helpless because his wife was too shy. It put him in a dilemma.
Cassandra didn’t speak because she did not know what to say.
A man could be believed at any time except for when he was in bed or when he wanted to
- be.
What he said were all lies, especially in front of a girl like Cassandra.
Cassandra said, “I won’t open it. I want to take a bath now. Go to sleep.” She directly refused it. She knew what was expecting her.
Hearing the word “bath“, Kenneth felt his Adam’s apple moving unconsciously.
He said, “Honey, don’t you have a little pain? You can’t take a bath on your own. Let me clean your back for you, okay? Will you open the door?”
At this moment, Kenneth was like the wolf asking Little Red Riding Hood to open the door

in the fairy tale. His voice was very gentle.
As soon as Little Red Riding Hood opened the door, she would be eaten by the wolf.
Cassandra wouldn’t fall for this trick. Of course, she wouldn’t open the door now.
Cassandra refused it without thinking. “No, I can do it myself. Go to bed now. It will take a long time.”
Seeing that Cassandra wouldn’t open the door, Kenneth knew he had no other choice.
Yes, he had come up with an idea.
So, he asked the butler to bring him all the keys to all the rooms in Pinehart Mansion.
The keys of his rooms happened to be hanging on a ring separately. Kenneth smiled.
He asked William to go to bed early and went back to his room.
William looked at Kenneth who looked a little perverted and felt something bad was going
to happen.
He only hoped that Cassandra would be safe and sound.
He thought he should ask Susan to cook some comfort food for Cassandra early the next morning because she must feel exhausted tonight.
When it came to that thing, there was no difference between Kenneth and wolves, tigers, or leopards.
Cassandra screamed, “Ah!”
She was a little dumbfounded. She wondered how Kenneth got in When she saw the keychain in his hand, she pretended to be dead in the bathtub.‘
When Cassandra was out of the room, it was already half past three in the morning. She was so tired that she didn’t even want to lift her hand.
It was another mismatch.

Cassandra was awakened by the ringing of her phone.
She opened her eyes impatiently and answered the phone without looking at it. “Hello?
Who is it?”
Vincent said anxiously, “Cassie, it’s me, Vincent!”
Cassandra blinked and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Vincent said, “Here’s the thing. Harper is missing and no one can find him. He doesn’t seem to be in Zosteylor. With my eldest brother and my hacking skills, we still can’t find him. So, we need your help.” When he heard Cassandra’s questions, he thought she was worrying about them.
So, he told her everything right away.
Cassandra frowned, “If you can’t find him, why don’t you call the police?”
Vincent said, “Cassie, don’t you think there will be an upheaval if people know the leader of
a country is missing and the police are still searching for him? Zosteylor is finally in a
stabilized status so we can’t have another accident.”
Vincent was a little surprised by Cassandra’s words. He thought, ‘Wasn’t she worried about
it?
‘Why did she suddenly change?‘
Cassandra said, “Vincent, I guess I don’t have the obligation to help you. I told you we should leave each other alone. Don’t you think you are disturbing me now?”
She frowned and looked a little upset.
One of the reasons was that her sweet dream was interrupted and the other was that she felt pain all over her body. Hearing Vincent’s words, she became even more upset.
Vincent was a little anxious so he spoke fast. He said, “But we have no other choice. Even my father has tried it but he failed too. I have to ask you for help.”
Cassandra said, “Then wait. I’ll try after I have a good rest and feel better.”

Suddenly, Cassandra heard another voice from the other end of the phone. “Give me the phone.”
It was Darren’s voice. He snatched the phone and said, “Cassandra, I hope you can help
- me. Zosteylor won’t survive without Harper. If he really disappears, I really don’t know what will happen in Zosteylor.”
Cassandra frowned, “It doesn’t seem to have anything to do with me.”
Darren had no choice but to do so. He said, “Just tell me how much we have to pay for
you!”
Cassandra turned over and sat up.
Darren asked, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s none of your business.” Cassandra kept silent for a while and then said, “Since the prince consort regards this as a deal, are you going to give me whatever I want?”
Darren said, “Yes.”
Cassandra said, “Do you think Zosteylor can afford it? You know Emery’s never cheap.”
Emery rarely took orders but one single order could last her several years. Emery’s name itself was intimidating.
Darren said firmly, “I know. I won’t bargain with you.”
Cassandra said, “Okay, 4 billion dollars then for Harper’s whereabouts. I will give you the address.” She thought it was a fair deal anyway.
Darren said, “Okay, I’ll get someone to transfer the money to you now.”
Cassandra sneered, “Okay, I’ll give you a message half an hour after I get the money.”
Darren said, “Okay.”
He hung up the phone and returned it to Vincent.
Vincent looked at his father, anguished, and said, “Dad, is this really the only way we get along with Cassie?”

Now, they were like strangers, probably even worse than strangers.
It was not that he didn’t want to pay her 4 billion dollars. If it was a wedding gift for Cassandra, he wouldn’t hesitate even if was ten times more than that.
He didn’t understand why it was turned into a deal. It could be an opportunity to get closer
to Cassandra.
Darren said coldly, “Vincent, we can’t be family with Cassandra. Since there is no way to do it. Let’s give it up. Transfer 4 billion dollars with your brother to her now. Take it as her wedding gift.”
He was now a disabled man sitting in a wheelchair. All the doctors didn’t know how to cure
him.
The doctor said if he wanted to stand up again, he must find Dr. Quirke.
That was why he gave up. He would rather be disabled forever than beg Cassandra. He couldn’t be humiliated by her anymore.
