“Mr. Gomez, you ttere. It’s Drieso that gains strength with Modern Beacon Synergy’s presence,”
Keh eplied. His words were polite but also reflected reality.
Modern Beacon Synergy was indeed a formidable yer. Keh had built upon the foundation of the
Zelinski Group to grow it into the power it was currently.
The elusive founder of Modern Beacon Synergy was said to have started from scratch in his youth.
Keh naturally respected such an aplishment.
Timothy and Cyrus, the current president and vice president of Modern Beacon Synergy, were talents
discovered by thepany’s founder. Any previous friction. between Keh and Cyrus was chalked
up to misunderstandings, thankfully with nosting damage, as any harm might have caused
Cassandra to resent Keh.
“Ms. Yates, you look stunning!” Timothy said, hispliment reflecting genuine admiration.
“Mr. Gomez, you’re ttering me,” Cassandra replied coldly.
Emma, witnessing this exchange, was mad with jealousy.
Emma had already learned that the man with Cassandra was Keh. Helen had mentioned to Emma
that Keh was the man Richard intended to introduce to her. Emma thought, ‘Keh is supposed
to be mine, the best man in the world. How dare Cassandra get close to him!
She thought, ‘How shameless!
‘She’s even ying games with Timothy and Cyrus.
‘All her aloofness at school must be an act. Bitch!‘
Seeing Cassandra, Sofia and Cassidy couldn’t resist rushing up eximing, “Look! Our idol is there!
That’s fantastic!”
Over time, it became apparent that Sofia was the lively one, not Cassidy, who seemed tame as a kitten
around Cassandra.
“Cassie, you’re here too! If I had known earlier, we could havee together,” Cassidy said, sticking
close to Cassandra but stopping short of enveloping her in at

Keh found himself edged out of his spot as the girls descended on Cassandra, causing him to
involuntarily step to the side.

Keeping his distance from other women was instinctive. By the time he realized, reiming his ce by
Cassandra’s side was no longer an option.
Cassandra smiled at the girls and said, “I had no idea you wereing. Ken and I had nned to
attend together.”
Cassandra’s intimate way of referring to Keh immediately stiffened the smile on Cyrus’s face.
For Timothy and Cyrus, it was a shock to hear someone address Keh sof intimately. To the rest of
the attendees, it was just as surprising. They all wondered who this person was, to so boldly use
Keh’s nickname.
Previously, women who dared call Keh by his first name were shown the door. But here,
Cassandra’s familiar address went unchallenged, and to everyone’s astonishment, it was met with
Keh’s radiant smile.
Unbelievable!
Keh was clearly pleased being called ‘Ken‘ by Cassandra, his earlier displeasure in the car
vanishing in an instant.
Timothy felt a chill of repulsion at the sweetness disyed and promptly suggested they help
themselves.
After everyone dispersed, several executives approached Keh to greet him and tried to discuss
potential cooperation.
Cassandra murmured an excuse to Keh before she wandered off. She aimed to reconnect with
Sofia but was abruptly stopped in her tracks by Emma.
“Cassandra, is this really a ce for someone like you? Or did you seduce Mr. Zelinski into bringing
you?” challenged Emma.
Cassandra frowned, tired of Emma’s consistent targeting wherever she went. She responded coolly, “I
don’t see what’s so significant about this g. If you’re allowed. to be here, what stops me? And even if
I was brought here by Keh, it’s none of your business, is it?”

Emma, furious, thought, How can this not concern me? Mr. Zelinski is my future boyfriend, not
someone to be seen with that bitch!”

“It seems you’re nothing without a man, isn’t that right? Pretending to be aloof and pure at school, yet
here you an, so bitchy, Emma used. “You should know Mr. Zelinski is the man my grandfather is
introducing to me, and he will be my boyfriend. You’d do well to steer clear of him. Did you understand
that?”
Cassandra slightly smirked, thinking Emma had apparently not learned her lesson from theirst
encounter in the principal’s office. Emma did not remember Keh’s warning there.
Really? Maybe I should call Ken over to acquaint himself with his ‘future girlfriend,” Cassandra said
mockingly.
Emma’s gaze flickered with insecurity, yet she maintained a tough front while looking at Cassandra.
“Cut the crap. Once my grandfather connects me with Mr. Zelinski, you’ll be sidelined!”
Emma’s grandfather was a retired high–ranking militarymander, and she was convinced Keh
would favor her.
“So, you’re dreaming now, is that it?” Cassandra said with a sigh. She had seen dreamers before, but
never one quite so deluded.
“What are you saying? I’ll break your face!” Emma screamed, stepping forward, “Bitch, how dare you
lure in Mr. Zelinski?”
Her hand shot out to p Cassandra, but it was abruptly seized. A crisp p echoed
-smack!
“Ouch!” Emma was pped. Her eyes reddened with fury, and she red at Cassandra with
murderous intent, as if she wished she could kill her.
Helen rushed to Emma’s side, shielding her and demanding furiously, “Cassandra, how dare you strike
my daughter?”
“So she’s allowed to strike and I can’t defend myself?” Cassandra’s coldugh conveyed her contempt.
“She hit you? I didn’t see that. But I did see you hit my daughter!” Helen was the picture of a maddy
of status, seemingly poised yet inwardly itching to tear Cassandra apart.

“Just because you didn’t see it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen,” Cassandra turned to Emma and said
firmly, “Don’t mistake me for an easy target. If you try to p me, you better think twice alut whose
hand willnd faster.”
Ever since the incident with Miranda, Cassandra wasn’t going to let anyoney a finger on her.
When it came to a p–off, Cassandra was unmatched.
Furious, Helen called out to her father–inw. “Father,e quickly! Someone has struck your
granddaughter!”
Emma was pampered growing up and Richard favored her the most. Hearing his granddaughter had
been hit, Richard quickly approached them.
“What’s going on here?” Richard saw the p mark on Emma’s face, and his expression darkened as
he demanded in a stern voice.

“Grandpa, I did nothing and Cassandra pped me. Despite my apology for the school incident, she’s
still resentful,” Emma yed the victim effortlessly, appealing to her grandfather.
Richard faced Cassandra, asking pointedly, “Is this true, Cassandra?”
