A Graduation Gift

Lionel trailed Cassandra inconspicuously. He quietly followed her in as he saw her enter the hotel.

It had been an hour since Cassandra entered the room; and yet, she had not been out. Lionel started to grow impatient.

What was taking her so long? Was there something wrong?

Lionel decided to knock. Before he could, he saw a familiar figure walking towards the room from another direction.

It was a woman in a pink dress. She stood at an average height and was wearing a huge pair of sunglasses that hid most parts of her face. Still, it was evident that she was pretty with her tiny nose and plump lips.

That was Cloris! Now, Lionel was confused. 'What's she doing here?' he wondered.

Cloris walked towards the room that Cassandra went into. She knocked and David opened it to let her in.

"How's everything going?"

Cloris asked, taking her sunglasses off. There was cold arrogance in her eyes.

"She fainted. Everything went well,"

David replied confidently at the job well-done.

Cloris walked to the bedroom and saw Cassandra lying on the bed. She looked fast asleep. A sneer appeared on her face.

"I'll do it myself. You can leave now!"

Cloris said, tilting her head. David signaled to remind her of his payment and she took the hint immediately.

Cloris took out an envelope from her bag and handed it to him.

"Here's the money we've agreed on. Take it. If anyone asks you about it, you know nothing!" she instructed.

Cloris worked hard to make sure this plan would be realized. She managed to contact Mr. Wang using David's connections and had him earn Cassandra's trust. Later, she lured Cassandra here using the name of Mr. Wang. The thought that she would finally have revenge on Cassandra made Cloris very happy.

She closed the door after David left the room and stared at her sister with hatred.

'You asked for it, bitch!' she cursed in her heart.

Cloris went abroad to study after the Spring Festival and called Arthur as soon as she managed to settle down. Unfortunately, the man who had been so considerate to her suddenly became so distant.

"Arthur, why didn't you answer my call?"

Cloris asked when she finally managed to reach him.
