Chapter 138
After Kenneth left, Hugo told Cassandra that he had something to talk about with her. So, they went to the office. Jeremiah had been waiting for them there.
The moment Cassandra sat down, Hugo and Jeremiah gathered around her. She asked, “What’s up?”
She wondered why they suddenly surrounded her.
Jeremiah asked, “Elaine, what’s the relationship between you and Mr. Zelinski?”
Cassandra knew what he wanted to know. She said, “Let's say, we’re comrades or friends.”
She didn’t go into details about Kenneth but she told Jeremiah what Kenneth said: she and Kenneth used to know each other. Jeremiah frowned, “Do | know him? Why can’t | recall anything about this person?’
Jeremiah thought, ‘No, | remember something.
Elaine brought back a big boy from somewhere unknown. He stayed unconscious for several days and talked in his sleep. Sometimes, when Elaine was impatient, she even wanted to throw him out.
Back then, Blossom was also sick. Jeremiah was like a burden to Elaine too. But she still brought this big boy home. Although she was having a hard time, she still wanted to help them.
That big boy had been in a coma for a week before he woke up. He almost killed Jeremiah and Elaine after he woke up. Fortunately, Elaine was good at fighting and the boy was very weak since he had just woken up so they managed to control him and then explained everything.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
They lived together for about half a month afterward. The big boy took good care of Jeremiah and Elaine and Elaine was his favorite. But he didn’t come back after he went out with Elaine one day. Elaine fainted at the door of the house. When she woke up, she forgot what had happened in the last half a month.
Kenneth once said that he and Elaine used to know each other. Jeremiah couldn’t remember anyone else but that big boy. Jeremiah knew almost everyone that Elaine knew.
But he didn’t know any/Kenneth from Elaine’s past, so he figured maybe Kenneth was that big boy.

He didn’t tell Elaine what he was thinking about because she didn’t remember anything that happened during that period of time. He didn’t want to tell her either.
She didn’t find any external force that caused it after all.
Jeremiah said, “It means nothing. | guess you just happened to see each other sometime in the past.
Jeremiah didn’t take it seriously. He thought he needed to ask Kenneth in private about it.
Cassandra ignored Jeremiah and turned to Hugo. “Hugo, didn’t you say you had something to tell me?”
Hugo didn’t come to his senses until now. He hurriedly handed the document of the plan to Cassandra. “This is the plan of the cooperation sent from the Zelinski Group. They want to develop a medicine. We will take care of the research and development and they will pay for it. Please have a look.”
The medicine was intended to be a pain reliever that could stop the bleeding rapidly.
It was a special effect medicine for the injured.
Cassandra flipped through the document and had a rough idea of what it was about. Kenneth was developing special-effect medicine for his comrades. He is a soldier who put others’ safety first so he was usually wounded all over his body.
Therefore, he needed this kind of medicine that could quickly relieve pain and stop the bleeding hence its ability to save people’s lives at the most critical moment.
Cassandra said, “You can discuss the follow-up with them. I'll do some research when |
have time.”
Kenneth was full of contradictions. So was she.
Right after a medicine that could amplify the pain was developed, he wanted something that could relieve the pain.
One was to hurt people and the other was to save them.
She only hoped that the Yates family would not let her down.
She decided that the first person to try this medicine would be Jasper.
After their conversation, Cassandra was ready to go back. She had been very busy and barely had any time to rest. There was nothing else to take care of today so she wanted.

to go back and sleep.
But just when Cassandra felt a bit relieved, things came to her.
Frederick and Jasper arrived. But Scarlett stopped them at the door.
Scarlett was alone so she felt a little bit helpless. She said, “Get out of here! Whitecrane Hall doesn’t welcome anyone from the Yates family!”
Frederick ignored her. No one dared to stop him like this before. He said, “Get out of my way! I’m looking for Cassandra!” Hearing his voice, Cassandra felt disgusted. Frederick saw her at this moment and shouted angrily, “Cassandra, why are hiding from me? What do you mean? Look what you've done to Lisa! Bit ch! You're a jinx!”
Cassandra walked slowly toward Frederick. She stretched her right hand and felt like she had an itch on her slender hands, which gave her an urge to slap.
With a loud bang, Frederick’s face turned red and swollen.
Frederick felt a tearing pain after the slap. His beautiful eyes, which fascinated. countless people, widened and he glared at Cassandra.
He screamed in his mind, ‘How dare she slap me!
‘Bi tch! If | will definitely make her learn from it!”
He was so angry that he clenched his jaw tightly. He said, “Cassandra, you’re courting death!”
Cassandra said, “That still remains a question. But if you don’t leave immediately, you’re courting death. And you may even end up in a trending topic. Do you believe. that?”
Frederick remained silent.
He thought, ‘D amn it! | just can’t control myself when Cassandra is involved.
‘| used to bully her as often as | wanted at home. Somehow, | suddenly forgot that this is a public place.
Frederick cursed in his mind.
Jasper also looked bad. He thought Cassandra was getting more and more audacious.
He thought, “How dare she slap Fred across the face!”

Jasper glared at Cassandra and scolded her, “Cassandra, how dare you slap Fred!”
Cassandra snorted coldly with a contemptuous look, which was irritating. She said, “I’ve already done it. What’s the help of asking me this question? Didn't you just see how it happened? Do you want me to show it again?”
Bang!
She slapped hard across Jasper in the face.
She meant that she did not only dare to slap Frederick but also Jasper!
Jasper went furious at once. He screamed, “Cassandra,
anything and you slapped both of us. Don’t you think ve gone too far. We didn’t say
you should apologize to us?”
Scarlett thought Jasper and Frederick were insane. They behaved like they wanted to
get hit but they asked for an apology afterward.
Cassandra gave them an approving nod. “You're right. You didn’t do anything. You just called me a bit ch.”
Jasper was shocked and glanced at Frederick in an awkward way.
He thought he was too impulsive just now.
Leonardo had already told him that Cassandra was already a different person now.
Jasper said, “We’re here for a reason. You could make Dr. Quirke treat Ray so | believe you can make him agree to cure Dad’s cerebral infarction. Ask Dr. Quirke to treat Dad.”
He sounded like he took it for granted, which was shameless.
Scarlett thought she had never seen a more brazen person.
Hearing Jasper’s shameless words, Cassandra was so angry that she almost wanted to laugh. She said, “What did you just say?”
Cassandra thought, | didn’t hear you. Excuse me?”
Frederick stepped forward and shouted, “Bit ch! Ask Dr. Quirke to save Dad. Do | make myself clear?”
He thought, ‘If you still don’t understand it, | will do something to understand!’

Cassandra smiled contemptuously, “Of course, | understand your words. But do you
