A Graduation Gift

Chapter 130 A Passionate Kiss

It was such an embarrassing situation. Horace had just taken away the amusement park project from Cassandra and appointed it to another designer. But the Dawn Star Group got in his way when he thought he had the deal properly set up. How could he ever face Cassandra now?

Lionel was just as stunned. He never really gave his attention to the project, so he wasn't the least bit aware that Cassandra was a large contributor to the project.

The moment turned sour and awkward. Everyone was silent. It was so still in the room that everyone could possibly hear a pin drop.

"Don't worry. Rufus and I will visit the person responsible tomorrow,"

Cassandra broke the ice. She sighed deeply. No one would be able to leave if they remained deadlocked like this.

"Okay then. Tell him that you'll still be the lead designer of the project."

Horace pushed the boat along with the current, letting Cassandra take back the project. It left him with no other choice, anyway. He dreaded to think what would happen next.

"Please excuse me now. I'm tired. I want to rest up for tonight,"

Cassandra said and turned directly for her bedroom upstairs, carrying her luggage with her. She was relieved after she closed the door.

The atmosphere in the living room a moment ago was suffocating. A bitter smile curled the corners of Cassandra's mouth.

She knew for a fact that the Tang family had been keeping a wary eye on her. They excluded her from several projects and even tried to take over her father's company, but she didn't have the courage to retaliate against them.

Anyway, they had helped Qin Group once when it was in trouble. If it hadn't been for them, Qin Group would have gone bankrupt long ago.

'Well, it's to repay their kindness. After this project, we will be even, and I can leave at ease, ' she mused.

Back in the master room, Jill was still grumbling, "Why did you let Cassandra take over the park project? Didn't you want to cut her out? She is already planning a divorce! What is your point of keeping her here? That woman is thinking about leaving us!"

Jill was upset at the thought of Cassandra, who wanted a divorce before the Tang family abandoned her as the daughter of a prisoner.

"This project is important. If we complete it successfully, we will sure be getting the upcoming projects in the next few years. She can be of help to us, so I'm willing to make a compromise. We have to look at the bigger picture and break some eggs to make an omelet."

Horace unbuttoned his coat and went to bed. It had been a long and tiring day, and he was exhausted; but he felt relieved as Rufus and Cassandra finally came back to help him.

"Humph! This compromise is way too risky. You know what? Arthur brought his girlfriend to his mother's birthday party. Guess who his girlfriend is!"
