A Graduation Gift

Chapter 106 Mysterious Handwriting

All eyes were on Cloris, examining her.

Everyone was surprised to learn she was Cassandra's sister.

"Are you Cassandra's sister? Is she really the daughter-in-law of the Tang family? How come none of us knew it?"

The round-faced man impatiently blurted out the questions without thinking twice.

Cloris was shocked. She had never expected that Arthur would expose her. But she could not show her anger. She just smiled.

Everyone in the field knew the news about Vernon. He got the project by bribing the government officials and did a shoddy job afterwards. A John Doe exposed this affair on the Internet. Since then, he, along with the project was shamed and derided to no end.

People knew that Vernon had a daughter. But no one was aware that Cassandra was another daughter of his. What was more, Vernon's daughter had married the son of the Tangs!

"Hey! You scared her. Cassandra and she are different. Don't say bad things to her!"

Arthur reached out and wrapped his arm around Cloris in an intimate manner as if he was protecting her.

Cloris felt warm in her heart by Arthur's act, completely forgetting that it was Arthur who had first brought up this awkward topic.

"Yes. Cassandra Qin is my sister and the daughter-in-law of the Tangs. There is nothing to hide. She just prefers to stay low-profile. That's all,"

Cloris said, trying to get away from their questioning looks.

The crowd exchanged looks and moved on to talk about other topics. However, many thoughts were surging in their minds.

Arthur realized that everyone was lost in their thoughts. So he suddenly announced that he had urgent work and suggested calling it a day. After everyone left, he went out with Cloris to his car and drove her back home.

In the car on the way back, he frowned and explained to her, "I just wanted to introduce you to my friends. I didn't expect that they would talk about your sister."

He sounded quite sincere to Cloris.

"Oh...Never mind..."

Cloris was hurt and felt bitter although she herself had no idea why.
