A Graduation Gift

Chapter 467 I Can’t Control My Own Feeling

Cold perspiration burst out of Cassandra's every pore as her teeth chattered with another blow of the cold wind.

As it turned out, she knew nothing of Lionel. She did not know how vicious he could be.

Apparently, he did inherit all his father and mother's vices. He was full of greed and selfishness. He was narrow-minded and easily discarded people even after they provided assistance.

"Get out! This is my last warning. If you don't go away right now, I'll call the police!"

Cassandra had enough. She was very pissed off. She could not remember any instance when she was ever angrier.

This took Lionel aback. Cassandra's face was now pale as a sheet of paper and it had a fury he never expected to see in her eyes.

"Fine! Wait and see, Cassandra Qin. I'll never forget what you did to me today and I swear I'll pay you back in your own coin!" he hissed from his clenched teeth.

He then stormed out, casting another threatening gaze before he completely disappeared.

Cassandra shook all over, biting her lower lip to keep her head from exploding. The splitting pain felt as if it would kill her. The sight of Lionel leaving with his head held high was unbearable.

With how he talked to her just now, she assumed that they did not win the bidding.

Still, his remarks confused her. She was certain that the disk was intact when she saved the document in it. How could it have any problems at such an important occasion?

The gust of wind that blew reminded her that the door was still wide open. She stepped forward to close it.

Still, not even the cold wind was enough to ease her thoughts. Like a stampede of wild horses, it trampled all her other concerns.

'What could have happened to the disk I gave to Lionel? And was there anyone else who had touched it before?' she tried to recall.

Suddenly, something hit her like a jolt of lightning that seemed to split her head in half, making her headache even worse.

It was none other than her own sister, Cloris.

The image of Cloris grabbing her bag kept replaying in her head. She then realized that Cloris was the one who took the flash drive away for a while. And what was worse, Cloris was with Arthur when that happened.

Cassandra shivered as she felt all the hair on her body stand. She got goosebumps.

Cloris betrayed her and she found it so hard to believe. Family did not do this to each other. She felt like her head was going to explode.
