Chapter 86
Leonardo, Yohannes, and Raymond were all stunned. They felt ashamed.
Because Cassandra was indeed telling the truth.
It was Yulissa who claimed that Cassandra pushed her down, and also asserted herself as the eldest daughter of the Yates Family. She also accused Cassandra of badmouthing her, saying that she was a nobody in the Yates family.
Therefore, after a discussion about Cassandra’s punishment for pushing Yulissa down, they punished her by locking her up ina dark and tiny room.
However, they did not order the housekeepers to feed her food scraps. The housekeepers did it on their own accord..
‘But, didn’t | already punish the housekeepers when | got news of her mistreatment?NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
Why is Cassandra still obsessed with this matter?”
Leonardo pointed his finger anxiously at his phone screen and typed out: [I already dealt with that maid. Why are you still so fixated on this matter?]
Cassandra saw this and smirked, “Remember how you ‘dealt with her? You slapped a 40-dollar fine. A regular worker might get that for being two hours late. In Mr. Yates’ eyes, three days of mistreatment is just worth 40 dollars.”
Cassandra coldly stated, “Mr. and Mrs. Yates, leave. | won’t comply with your requests. Stick around, and | might change my mind about letting Dr. Quirke treat Raymond.”
Cassandra’s sudden indifference threw Raymond into a state of panic. “No, I’m leaving. I'll leave now!” He was afraid that Cassandra would really go back on her word, and his efforts would be for naught.
Cassandra threatened coldly, “It doesn’t matter if you leave; everyone must leave. Even if one of you stays, I’ll change my mind!” “Cassandra, who are you to kick me out? I’m your mother!” Miranda shouted. Cassandra’s words were like a slap to her face. Moreover, Miranda was unaware of Cassandra’s claims. The day after she returned, she went on a business trip with Benjamin. It was Raymond who called, informing them that Lisa had been pushed down.
As for the specific punishment given to Cassandra by Leonardo and Miranda, they

remained in the dark. Now, the strange expressions on their children’s faces confirmed Cassandra’s statements.
No matter how poor the Yates family was, there would be no such thing as food scrapings. ‘What were these children doing?’ Miranda fumed.
“I have no mother, father, or brother. Mrs. Yates, you’d better remember it clearly. Otherwise, don’t force me to hurt you!”
“They weren't here for me when | needed them; but now that | don’t need them anymore, they cling on to me, Cassandra mused. Leonardo stood silently on the side, his eyes reflecting a mix of emotions. Tears welled up in his eyes, whether from the urgency of being unable to speak or.regret upon hearing Cassandra's revelations was unclear.
Raymond pleaded with his family, “Dad, mom, Leo, | beg you, please leave. Do you really want me to become handicapped in the future?” His face portrayed a mix of helplessness and desperation.
Despite Raymond's plea, there was no sign of his parents leaving. The gravity of the situation prevented anyone from making jokes, considering the possibility of Cassandra regretting her decisions.
“Raymond, you...” Benjamin looked at him in exasperation.
“Dad, no matter what happens today, please leave first. If Cassandra goes back on her word, do you think | can still get my shares back? Are you really going to make me a handicap?” Raymond fumed, cursing his parents inwardly.
‘Why are my parents are so selfish!”
“Honey, why don’t we go back first? Ray’s business is more urgent.” It’s not as if Miranda wants Raymond to be handicapped.
It was just that Benjamin had all the money in his family, so she had no say in this
matter.
“You...” Benjamin exclaimed.
Leonardo gripped Benjamin and ushered him away without hesitation.
The tranquility finally settled in.
Cassandra dialed Hugo’s number with determination, “Hugo, instruct the property

management to investigate. Who allowed the Yates family in without the house owner’s consent? | need an explanation!” Despite being a high-end community with impeccable security measures, it failed to prevent the Yates family from entering twice without the house owner’s approval, even pinpointing my exact location.
“Yes, I'll dispatch someone to investigate immediately.”
Outside Springmount Townhouse, Miranda blocked Yohannes and Raymond from leaving.
“Why are you two staying outside? Come home with me!” Miranda demanded, her anger rising. Each son was her pride, so why were these two acting rebellious lately?
“Mom, as long as Yulissa is in that house, | won’t go back, Yohannes asserted, making his stance clear. ‘I don’t want a sister who unjustly occupies another's place,’ he mused.
Yohannes declared, “I won't go back either. Since everyone you care about is at home, why bother about my life?”
Raymond glanced around, deliberately avoiding eye contact with his parents. For him, this family had become a source of complete disappointment.
Miranda, distressed by her sons’ misunderstandings, felt the weight of their accusations. I’ve treated them all equally. Lisa has faced more challenges recently, so | took care of her a bit more. Is that wrong?’ she thought.
“Ray, | treat you all the same. The decision about the miracle doctor isn’t mine to make. Besides, who knows if Cassandra even knows the miracle doctor? You handed over your shares blindly, and now she’s using them against your father. Do you realize that?” Miranda pleaded with Raymond.
“Listen, Ray, go with Yohan and retrieve the shares given to Cassandra. Only then can | return to the company, secure my position, and have the funds to treat your hand!” urged Benjamin.
Benjamin’s elaborate plan was undeniably well-crafted.
If Raymond hadn't experienced it before, he might have believed it.
“Mom and Dad, | may have a short temper, but I’m not foolish. When you say these things, can you convince yourselves? | may dislike Cassandra, but at least she saved my life. In her eyes, she either treats or doesn’t, and | don’t think I’m worth lying to. The 10% of shares | and Anthony gave her were voluntary and unrelated to her!”

“Go back. If you still consider me your son, don’t disturb Cassandra until she cures my hand!” Raymond decided, no longer willing to engage with his parents.
His heartache deepened as he understood his parents favoritism.
In their eyes, Yulissa was the one who mattered the most.
And Cassandra was right: the winding road was their frequent racing spot.
So, the surveillance there is always available 24 hours a day, and most importantly, the surveillance there will not be formatted until one month later.
After Cassandra reminded him. he originally wanted to find evidence to discredit Cassandra, but in the end, it was himself who got humiliated.
Yulissa, without a word, escaped. She boarded the car. heading to the destination only at three in the morning.
No calls, no condolences in between.
In the operating room, notifications about his mother’s calls came from the doctors.
As Cassandra mentioned, it was his mother who halted the surgery, waiting for Jace to
arrive.
Ironically, everything he was experiencing was a result of his own family.
Ultimately, his life was granted by Cassandra.
Suddenly, a feeling of regret emerged in his heart...
