A Graduation Gift

Chapter 413 They Can't Hurt Me

Both Jill's and Lionel's hearts sank when they saw Cassandra.

Still, Jill managed to collect herself. With a condescending look, she snorted as she looked at Cassandra. Then, she turned and got into the car.

"Why are you here?"

It had been a long time since they last saw each other. Lionel was curious about what Cassandra was doing in front of Rufus's house.

"I live next door," she replied with an indifferent look, pointing at the villa next to it.

Lionel, however, assumed that the next house was still Rufus's property. Like his mom, he snorted and remarked, "Are you still with him? He's already engaged to Amanda. Why would you rather be his mistress than be my wife?"

Lionel said spitefully. Cassandra, however, only looked at him with a light frown but no longer bothered to reply.

"Find a time. We need to talk,"

she managed to say calmly, hiding her anger caused by what Lionel said. She had to ignore his abrasive words.

"Lionel, what are you doing out there? Get in the car! Don't talk to such a whore!"

Jill said as she stuck her head out of the window and looked at Cassandra with contempt.

The relationship between Cassandra, Rufus, and Lionel had turned into such a huge scandal in G City before. Because of this, Jill disliked her. Now, seeing that she still had contact with Rufus disgusted her even more.

"I am working in Lyndsy's studio now. Come and talk to me when you have time. We need to talk about Rufus,"

Cassandra said in a low voice to avoid being heard by Jill. She preferred to talk to Lionel about it than Jill who hated her so much.

Lionel raised his head and saw her face. She was still as beautiful as before. But somehow, she was different now.

Was it because she was calmer? No, that was not the reason. She was always calm but distant.

Lionel assessed Cassandra's sincerity with furrowed brows. Despite her alluring beauty, she still felt very distant.

She had grown more and more mature. Not to mention, it made her...sexier. With her new aura, he felt very drawn to her.

Seeing that his mother was present, Lionel merely got to reply with a nod. He knew that there would be more problems if she saw him still talking with Cassandra. So, he turned around, got into the car, and ordered the driver to go their way.
