Chapter 935


    Sadness filled Cassandra then.


    “Richie… my stomach hurts.” Shi suddenly clenched her stomach with one hand as a weakness


    overtook her while Richard stared at Cassandra.


    “Shi, are you feeling unwell? Come on. Take a seat.” Richard retracted his gaze from Cassandra


    and focused all his attention on Shi.


    Shi replied coyly, “Maybe… it’s our baby kicking me.”


    Her voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was enough for the rest of the crowd to hear her words.


    Even though Cassandra didn’t want to pay attention to Richard or Shi, Shi’s announcement


    traveled into her ears rapidly.


    She lifted her head, looking at Richard and Shi with unnoticeable jealousy.


    Shi leaned against Richard’s embrace casually. When she met Cassandra’s eyes, her weak and coy


    expression was reced with a provocative and triumphant look.


    Richard had his arms wrapped around Shi so she could sit morefortably. He didn’t notice the


    hostile exchange between Shi and Cassandra.


    Cassandra suppressed the urge to throw things at the couple, who were hugging each other tightly,


    before turning away from them.


    I’m not the child who follows behind Richard and Shi anymore. I will never do things that will ruin my


    reputation in public. Not now, not ever. I’m the chief financial officer of Imperial Hotel, working alongside


    Boss now.


    Cassandra was aware of the close rtionship between Richard and Ashlyn. It was not worth it for her


    to offend Richard over a pretentious woman like Shi.

    However, before Cassandra could respond appropriately, Ashlyn, not far away from her, red at


    Shi and sneered. “What a hypocritical, disgusting, and pretentious woman.”


    Shi had her pride, for she was the daughter of a wealthy family. She could not keep her emotions in


    check as she snapped at Ashlyn. “Who are you calling a disgusting woman?”


    Ashlyn ignored her. Shi pushed Richard away as she charged toward Cassandra, wanting to p


    her.


    “What are you trying to do? Boss can scold anyone she likes, and who are you to hit me?” Cassandra


    grabbed Shi’s wrist before swinging her hand away, causing Shi to stumble backward.


    Themotion at their side attracted many’s attention in an instant. They stared at Shi’s indecent


    appearance in shock.


    “I heard that Shi has always relied on Cassandra’s blood to stay alive because of her weak body.”


    “Damn it! I heard that Cassandra was adopted from the orphanage to be a blood bank for Shi.”


    “Poor Cassandra!”


    “But Cassandra is a talented woman. Didn’t you see the trending news about her? She is known for her


    monstrous strength despite her looks. Not only that, she is a champion in martial art and archery! It


    doesn’t matter that they used her as a blood bank!”


    “Am I the only one who cares about Shi’s pregnancy?”


    “Is she carrying Mr. Shaw’s child?”


    Shi’s face paled as anger filled her while she listened to the discussion. She had the massive urge


    to p Cassandra.


    Frustration built up in Richard when he saw Cassandra pushing Shi away forcefully. His anger was


    further intensified when he spotted the constant disdain on Cassandra’s face. He also found Cassandra


    and Shi annoying and weren’t as easygoing as Ashlyn. He was embarrassed when he thought


    about how Ashlyn had scolded Shi.


    However, the Jensen family still had value to Richard. He had to pretend to be unbothered by their


    actions.


    He grabbed Shi’s waist, steadying her before saying to Cassandra, “She’s pregnant. Can’t you be


    more gentle toward her? You’re not a kid anymore, Cassandra!”
