A Graduation Gift

Chapter 268 A Cruel Woman (Part Three)

Disappointment surged through his heart. It seemed like life had been tough for Cassandra. 'Perhaps Rufus didn't take good care of her, ' he thought.

Cassandra, on the other hand, was still startled. She took a glance at Lionel and cast off his offer. She brought her attention back to the road and picked up her pace.

Lionel wasn't infuriated by this. Instead, he slowly drove his car and followed Cassandra.

While this scene was going on, a car discreetly monitored them. Neither Cassandra nor Lionel noticed this intruder.

It was Ivy. She sat on the passenger seat and kept a close eye on Cassandra. Jealousy had comsumed her completely.

And next to her, Amanda was cautiously driving the car. A vicious smile played on her lip as she watched Ivy's fury. She feigned worry and asked, "Why is Mr. Tang going after her?"

Amanda obviously, knew the answer to this question. But she pretended to look innocent and puzzled.

Earlier this morning, Amanda's subordinate had reported to her that Lionel's car was seen near the detention center.

When she heard about it, Amanda drafted a shrewd plan. She went to Ivy's office and announced, "Ivy, I have to meet someone. Would you mind accompanying me?"

As soon as she got Ivy's approval, they went and sat inside the car.

Ivy didn't sense anything fishy. She sincerely thought Ammanda was looking for a friend. Excitedly, Amanda drove to a place near the detention center. Once she reached there, Amanda parked her car near Lionel's car. Then she turned to Ivy and apologetically said she needed to get out of the car in order to make a phone call. Ivy agreed to wait for her in the car.

Bored inside the car, Ivy casually scrolled through her mobile phone. Ten minutes had passed, but there was no sign of Amanda. Getting a little impatient, she lifted her head to see whether Amanda was coming. While she did this, her eyes accidentally found a car parked near them. It seemed very familiar. Suddenly, it dawned on her that it was Lionel's car.

Ivy couldn't believe her eyes. A million questions started to form in her head. 'It is his office hour. Why is he here? Is he here to meet a client?' she tried to reason.

Once she further examined, she spotted Lionel inside. He was neither making a call nor looking at a file. It seemed like he was eagerly waiting for someone.

While she was distracted, Amanda returned to the car. This time she had a newspaper on her hand. Ivy turned around and her eyes caught the news that was on the front page.

The headline stated that Michelle had regained her consciousness. Ivy immediately stiffened realizing what was happening. The mystery started to unravel.
