“Darling, why aren’t you saying anything?” Miranda glanced at Benjamin, growing even more furious. She couldn’t understand how he could stay so calm. “I’m telling you, we can’t let Cassandra go this time. It’s getting outrageous. If we don’t deal with her properly, she might end up ruling the roost over us one day.”
Thinking of Cassandra’s complacent attitude, Miranda wanted so much to teach her a lesson.
It was unacceptable to her that a country bumpkin pulled a long face at her.
“This matter needs to be handled properly. Punishing her is one thing, but the two people she knows, Jeremiah and Hugo, have an influential position in Whitecrane Hall,” Benjamin said.
“They're just playing with her. Are you expecting her to bring wealth to the Yates family?” Miranda rolled her eyes and spoke exasperatedly.
She simply looked down on Cassandra, considering her a country bumpkin who lacked. manners. Cassandra had been provided with a wealthy lifestyle by them, yet she did not show any gratitude.
She even went so far as to take her own sister and brother to court.
“| just want her to make up for the loss of the Yates family. If we can build a connection with Whitecrane Hall...” Benjamin was a little uncertain after being reminded by Miranda.
“Dad, isn’t the loss of the company caused by Cassandra leaking the video?” Yulissa reminded Benjamin in a low voice. Benjamin and Miranda became even more enraged upon hearing this.
“This da mn b itch, a total ingrate!” Miranda cursed again and asked Leonardo, “Leo, do you have any good ways to solve this problem?”
“Lisa, what is actually going on in school?” Leonardo's love for his sister could be blind but also rational.
After watching the ten-minute video today and the attitude of Whitecrane Hall toward the Yates family, he felt that he had overlooked something.
“Leo, what do you mean?” Yulissa was worried that Leonardo might have discovered something.
“You used to say that Cassandra bullied you and her classmates in the class, but today’s
evidence is contrary. | just want to know what happened.”
Leonardo didn’t mention that he felt what Yulissa said in the video was affected and provocative.
“Leo, how can you not believe me? | don’t want to talk to you anymore!” Yulissa accused Leonardo angrily and didn’t intend to answer this question directly.
Because she hadn’t figured out how to answer it to cover up for the lies she had made previously.
The school’s surveillance records were updated on a weekly basis, and automatically purged each week to make space for new data. She was utterly bewildered at how the comprehensive surveillance footage covering the past two months emerged all at once.
This was unbelievable, and it caught her off guard.
“Lisa, | didn’t mean anything else. | just want to make this clear. | know you won’t bully Cassandra, but...
He was just trying to figure the situation out. That was all.
“Leo, | don’t know anything about the video. But every time Cassandra spoke ill of her classmates at school, there were witnesses. She always claimed that she was the young lady of the Yates family and said that I... | was adopted, and you will send me away. sooner or later. Dad, Mom, was Cassandra telling the truth? If so, I’ll leave now and won't make trouble for you.” Yulissa burst into tears as if she had suffered great grievances.
However, when the Yates family heard this, they thought Yulissa had indeed suffered great grievances.
Benjamin slammed the table in anger.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
“How dare she talk nonsense outside!” Benjamin gritted his teeth angrily.

“Lisa, it’s my fault. | shouldn’t have asked you this question. I’m sorry. | will avenge your grievance,” Leonardo said.
‘So this is the truth. Cassandra, you shouldn’t have messed with Lisa. She’s sister!” Leonardo thought.

“Leo, please don’t blame Cassandra. It was my fault. If | had a choice, | wouldn’t have come to the Yates family and taken you guys away from her. | feel sorry for her.”
Yulissa’s words pained their hearts even more.
‘How could Cassandra, that ungrateful brat, not cherish a good sister like Lisa?’ they

thought.
The Yates family decided that since Cassandra refused to acknowledge Yulissa as her sister, they wouldn't acknowledge Cassandra as a member of their family.
“Darling, make a statement and sever your relationship with Cassandra. She is no longer part of the Yates family!” Miranda spoke with determination.
“Okay. I'll do it,” Benjamin said.
The next morning, as promised, Faye was going to Pinehart Mansion to treat the patient.
Cassandra put on her disguise as Faye Quirke and walked out of Whitecrane Hall with Hugo, but she didn’t expect to see a Rolls-Royce Phantom parked at the door.
The corner of Cassandra’s lips twitched.
She found the arrangement too ostentatious.
‘Isn’t Rolls-Royce too formal? I’m just there to treat a patient!’ she thought.
“Dr. Quirke, long time no see.” It was Kenneth.
Kenneth got out from the backseat of the car. Sure enough, Yannick was in the driver’s
seat.
“Mr. Zelinski, it’s been a while. Sorry to trouble you to pick us up in person, Hugo greeted Kenneth first.
Knowing that Cassandra was averse to trouble, Hugo was the one who handled the social aspects of the work.
“It's my honor to pick up Dr. Quirke.” Kenneth was in a good mood.
Firstly, he was eager to see Faye again. She always evoked an inexplicable sense of familiarity within him. She resembled Cassandra, yet the latter insisted on not knowing Faye.
Secondly, Kayden was in a positive me ntal state after receiving treatment from Faye. Aside from the inability to walk, he felt significantly better overall.
Faye surely lived up to her reputation. It was worthwhile to hire the miracle doctor for treatment, regardless of the amount of money he spent.
“Then, let's go,” Faye said calmly and got into the back seat of the car.
Forty minutes later, they arrived at Pinchart Mansion and met the patient.

“Is this Dr. Quirke? | didn’t expect you to be so young.” When Kayden woke up, he learned that his best friend had hired the miracle doctor to treat him.
He was really amazed. After seeing the doctor, he was even more surprised. He didn’t. expect Faye to be so young.
“You are in good condition. | assume you're able to withstand today’s treatment,” Faye said nonchalantly.
However, for some reason, Kenneth could read a trace of danger and gloating in Faye’s
tone.
“Don't worry, Dr. Quirke. | can bear any pain. Acupuncture is just a piece of cake to me,” Kayden said and didn’t seem to be bothered by the upcoming treatment.
‘It's just acupuncture. When | came back from my mission back then, | used to do acupuncture. It was very comfortable!’ he thought.
“Great to hear that. Mr. Yates, please take off your top.”
Kayden fell silent.
He was hesitant..
‘Is that really necessary?’ he thought.
“Dr. Quirke...” he tried to negotiate.
“There isn’t enough space for me to perform acupuncture on your hands and head. Do. it right away. Don’t waste my time,” Faye expressed her dissatisfaction with Kayden’s hesitant response.
‘Well, alright then... After all, we’re all men here. There’s no issue with undressing in front of each other. But why does this situation feel so uncomfortable? Could it be that Dr. Quirke’s striking eyes intimidate me, making me worry about my lack of a muscular physique turning into an eyesore? he thought.
