A Graduation Gift

Chapter 465 Good Luck To You

Rufus's eyes were fixed on Cloris as she took things out and placed them back in her 'new' bag.

The entire process was scrutinized by everyone, which made her behave in a very capricious manner.

Rufus tried to expel the weird feelings that shadowed his heart, but to no effect. Cloris had always been someone who behaved strangely. Maybe she just realy wanted to change the handbag?

"Sis! Here you are!"

Cloris beamed, smiling and gave her bag to Cassandra, while she carried the other one on her own shoulder. Holding Edith's hand, she asked innocently, "Shall we go back, Mom?"

She was simply putting up a facade to appear normal but was very anxious to go back.

Edith wasn't prepared for anything but was simply being pushed around and dragged by Cloris. Before she even realized what was happening, she had already taken the exit.

In the blink of an eye, Cloris swapped Cassandra's USB drive with the one in her hand. She felt relieved to have finally done that. Her heart started to beat at its normal pace again.

There were too many people in there just now. Very likely, Rufus and Cassandra would be able to spot her if she did it just now. That was why she was in a hurry to run away from them and do it secretly.

Little did she know there was someone who had observed the entire scene from a dark corner. A mystical smile stayed plastered on his face. In a moment, he was gone.

"Mom, Cloris, why don't you guys come stay with me?"

It wasn't easy for Cassandra to clear the gap between herself and her mother. She wanted to seize every opportunity that showed itself to strengthen the relationship they shared.

"We'll come back after a few days. We are going to celebrate Arthur's birthday in our house! Mother already started to do the preparation yesterday. He is going to drive us back later," Cloris said sweetly.

She had just finished talking when Arthur's car stopped in front of the studio. He walked toward them with a warm grin.

Cloris pulled at Edith's arm hastily, waving goodbye at Cassandra with a flashy smile and got into the car.

Cassandra saw them off and returned to her studio.

The moment the car started to move, Cloris started to copy the content from Cassandra's USB drive into another USB drive.

She chose to sit in the back seat, while Edith sat in the front. Arthur was talking to Edith to distract her so she wouldn't notice what Cloris was doing.

As the progress bar loaded more and more, Cloris became more and more nervous.

At last, it was done! All the content was duplicated into the special USB drive, which had a self-destruction function.

Cloris heaved a sigh of relief. Right then, Cassandra called her.

"Hey Cloris! I think I left my USB drive in your bag. Can you please check and tell me if it's there?"
