Chapter 194
Keh suddenly said in a deep voice respectfully, “Mr. Yates, Kayden is my friend. It doesn’t matter who paid. Cass and | just
suddenly wanted to eat there. Nothing special.”
To Keh, as long as it was for Cassandra, no matter how much money it cost, it was worth it.
However, he couldn’t say anything like this at this moment.
He and Cassandra were just friends. If he directly said this now, he would be kicked out of th house by Maximilian immediately.
Maximilian was satisfied with what Keh just said.
Cassandra exined casually, “I wanted to go to Mr. Yates’s restaurant but | didn’t know how to get there so | asked Mr. Zelinski
to take me there.”
After hearing this, Maximilian looked at Kayden in a less friendly way.
Maximilian said. “Why is your store located in a ce so far away? Cassie didn’t even know how to get there. Give that
restaurant to Cassie as an apology. Find somewhere else to open another one. | will pay for it.”
Kayden was stunned.
He thought. Am | adopted?*
Cassandra was stunned too.
But Yasmine thought this idea was pretty good and apuded. “I think it is a good idea. Since Cassie likes it. Kayden, give it to
her so she can eat there whenever she likes. Or, ask the chef to cook for her at her ce
Yasmine thought Maximilian’s idea was exactly what she wanted.
However, she seemed to have forgotten that the one who had to sacrifice was her son.
Kaydenined. “I must have been adopted. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have ganged up to fool
me.
Maximilian didn’t care about what Kayden said. He knew Kayden was not good at anything but was an expert gastronome and
this restaurant was just not a big deal for him.
Yasmine said, “Yes, you were a dirty little beggar. | found you in a trash can outside the Yates residence with your father. You
looked presentable after a shower so we adopted you.”
Kayden said. “I have heard this story many times, Mrs. Yates. | must remind you that there were no trash cans outside the Yates
residence.
He thought. Who dares to put a trash can there?
“If you want to make up a story, find a good one. This is really absurd.*
Chapter 194
Yasmine froze for a moment and said, “You talk too much. | said you were adopted, so you were adopted. Hurry up and give that
restaurant to Cassandra.”
Cassandra was a little bit surprised hearing them discussing this matter so seriously. She said, “Well, | don’t need it. | will only
eat there asionally. | have no interest in managing a restaurant.”
It was Cassandra’s way of refusing them but the Yates family didn’t care about it at all.
Except for Kayden, no one seemed to have heard what she just said.
Maximilian said enthusiastically, “Cassie, tell me whenever you want something. | will give you anything as long as you...”
Jessica smiled and said. “The Yates familycks nothing but a family reunion. When Darren and Leanna will be back is still
unknown. But the rest of us should see each other more often. So, Cassie, do you understand?”
Of course, Cassandra understood it.
Cassandra said, “Apart from visiting Maximilian, I’m here for one more thing today. | have something to tell you.” She took a deep
breath and exhaled deeply. As soon as she said this, Keh knew what she meant.
She continued. “I went to live with Benjamin at the age of 18. Those two months were the darkest days of my life. Blossom
adopted me and | grew up with her, spoiled. After | lived with my so- called biological parents, what | experienced was extremely
desperate.
“Although your appearance makes me know that | can be happy after | got rid of Benjamin. But it does not mean that | can
ept you as my family. | don’t know why the DNA test shows that Benjamin and me are father and daughter but | do know the
reason that Maximilian told me is far- fetched. | can’t convince myself.
“To put it harshly, no matter how nice you are to me, you can’t change the fact that my parents abandoned me. No matter what
you do, it won''t change.
“So, sorry, | can’t ept you guys as my family. | can’t do it. Thank you for your kindness. | hope we can just stay what we used
to be.”
Cassandra bowed low to the Yates family, showing her respect for them.
Her words were more than shocking to them
What they didn’t expect was that Cassandra not only refused to live with them but also had no intention of treating them as her
family.
Yasmine was a little anxious. She exined excitedly, ‘Cassie, it''s not like that. Your parents asked us to pick you up but we
werete. They must have had no choice, It is our fault that for 18 years. We will make it up to you in the next, let''s say, 80
years.”
you suffered
Just when they thought the thing that had been torturing Maximilian for 18 years was about toe to an end, cold water was
put on their hope. How could she not be anxious about it?
Cassandra said, “You all said that they had no choice. Why? Why tamper with the DNA data of

Benjamin and me? Was it really for me or out of selfishness?”
Cassandra knew what she said was a bit harsh. But the fact was the fact. It was not something that could vanish if they just
didn’t talk about it.
Seeing that the atmosphere soured, Kayden wanted to stop Cassandra. She said, “Cassie, let’s talk about it in private, not
today.”
Maximilian was trembling uncontrobly. His pupils were gradually dted. It seemed that he was about to faint. But he managed
to hang in there. “Cassie, are you ming me?”
After saying that, he fainted.
The room was si
in chaos. Cassandra didn’t expect this either.
Kayden’s eyes turned red instantly. But he calmed down and didn’t shout at Cassandra.
“Send for the doctor!”
“Send for the doctor!”Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.
Kayden carried Maximilian in his arms and went upstairs. Everyone else followed behind him, leaving Keh and Cassandra
alone in the huge living room.
Keh walked to Cassandra and said softly, “Don’t you want to check on him?”
Cassandra looked up at the second floor with a little bit sullen look. “No. | guess they probably want to kill me now.”
Keh said, “No, they won''t. | know you are worried. Let’s go upstairs. We can leave after you''re sure that Grandpa is fine.”
Cassandra was absent-minded. She was very worried but she didn’t want to admit it.
The doctor came soon. After a brief examination, he said angrily, “Didn’t | tell you that you must keep your grandfather happy and
in a stable mood? Why did he pass out because of emotional turmoil? Aren’t you afraid that he will have a stroke?”
Yasmine felt her legs weak and she almost copsed on the floor.
