Yeah, it’s settled. She has moved out of Dustmeadow Mansion and is staying at Maple Condominium
now,” Cassandra exined.
It was Ondo’s decision?” Michael was driving and turned to ask Cassandra while waiting for the
green light.
Yeah, his Cassandra sighed. “But he seems to me me…”
“He mes you for treating Reba that way right?” Michael presumed.
Hearing that, Cassandra looked at him subconsciously. Numbly, she worded, “You could say that.
Michael, if it were you, would you feel the same way?”
Td just feel so guilty and uneasy. I’d me myself for not being able to protect you if you truly got hurt
settling this yourself. I would wonder why you didn’t tell me about it and ask me to handle it for you
instead. I’d ask you not to do something like this again, Cassie, Michael mentioned softly, and
Cassandra just nodded in response.
Why couldn’t I tell Michael? she wondered.
Cassandra herself could not answer that. At that time, she simply never thought to tell him. She just
wanted to handle it herself.
‘Maybe I just didn’t want to bother him, she wondered.
While talking, they soon arrived at Quinn Group.
Zachary and the others brought Cassandra and Michael directly to the conference room. The interior
design drawings wereplicated. The office building, mansion, and residential area were all in
different styles, so the time taken for the discussion process was rtively long.
In the CEO’s office on the top floor of Quinn Group, Taylor didn’t dare dy for a second. Immediately,
he toldndo the news. “Mr. Quinn, Mrs. Jackson and Michael havee to thepany to discuss
the design drawings with Mr. Wright Would you like to go have a look?”
“Taylor, do you have too much time on your hands? Or do you think that I have nothing better to do?”
Ondo appeared detached. The sarcasm in Ondo’s words made Taylor immediately lower his head.
“Mr. Quinn, I’m sorry. I’ll go prepare your meeting materials forter in the afternoon, Taylor apologized.
After that, Taylor left the office quickly.
‘Could I be mistaken? Taylor pondered. ‘Mr. Quinn called me sotest night to find a well–furnished
apartment for Reba to live in. Didn’t that mean that he was closer to Mrs. Quinn now?
In the office, Ondo looked at the document in his hand, but he didn’t know what it was about.

He squinted slightly, and his expression was gloomy.
At this moment, the phone rang.
“Hello?” he answered.
“It’s almost your grandpa’s birthday. Any ns?” It was Frederick.
Chapter 71
Peter’s birthday was less than a week away, and Ondo had already nned for this long ago. He
mentioned his ideas to Frederick, “Let’s do it in the Quinn manor. It hasn’t been lively there for a long
time. Many people showed their care for Grandpa when he was hospitalized, so this time, we can let
those who care about him spend time with him.”
“Okay, then. Let’s do that. By the way, what do you think about taking Cassic home for dinner if you
have time this week? Our families parted on bad termsst time. Grandpa wants to know what your
ns are now,” Frederick said.
“Let’s see. I’ve got a lot to settle these days, and Cassandra is busy too,” Ondo imed.
“Okay, it’s up to you. I still have that same condition. No matter what happens, you must make sure
he’s okay with it, or else you’ll get it,” Frederick threatened. Although hepletely withdrew from
Quinn Group, he was still Ondo’s father.
After ending the call, Ondo put his phone on the table. Then, he massaged his temples. Although he
was silent, his demeanor seemed more calm now.
It had already been more than once that Cassandra had affected his work. The more he thought about
it, the more restless: he was. What sorcery does this woman have?‘ he cursed internally.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was lunchtime.
Cassandra had just finished the meeting and was about to leave the conference room when Zachary
suggested, “Why don’t we have lunch together?”
“No, thank you. We still have work to do in the afternoon, and we still need to amend some things. Let’s
have lunch another day,” she rejected politely.
“Okay then, I won’t keep you.” Zachary shook hands with Michael and watched them leave.
As Cassandra and Michael waited for the elevator, Michael asked, “Did Mr. Wright just imply that we
can work with Quinn Group directly without going through Hawley Real Estate?”
“I think that’s what he means.” Cassandra felt a little worried. Although Hawley Real Estate could be
considered somewhat crafty in many aspects, it had signed the contract after all. To end the contract at
this time seemed a bit impropers
“Mr. Wright is from Quinn Group. Are his words a reflection of Ondo’s?” Michael asked.
“I don’t know, but I don’t want to think about it right now. So far, it seems pretty good, she answered.
The main thing is I don’t want my work to involve Quinn Group and Ondo too much. It won’t be good
for either of us after we divorce! She kept her thoughts to herself, not telling Michael.
Cassandra fell silent.
Michael watched her expression and suggested discreetly, “Cassie, I think it may be more appropriate
to work with Quinn Group directly. This is equivalent to having an immediate stepping stone. It’d be
even better for the development of thepanyter on, too.”
Cassandra looked at Michael in surprise. Their eyes met, but before she could speak, the elevator
doors opened.
Taylor came out. Cassandra nodded slightly in greeting, but Taylor stopped to whisper to her, “Mrs.
Quinn, Mr. Quinn knows that you are in thepany, so he specially asked me to bring you to meet
him.”
“What’s the matter?” Cassandra asked.
Taylor borated, “It has something to do with Mr. Peter Quinn’s birthday banquet. Would you like to
discuss this with Mr. Ondo Quinn after you’re in his office?”
“Okay.” Cassandra never hesitated to talk about matters regarding Peter. She eyed Michael, who was
beside her, and said softly, “Michael, you can go back to thepany first. I’ll talk to Ondo about
Grandpa Peter’s birthday.”

Michael nodded in understanding. “Okay. Go on, then. Do you need me to wait for you?”
“No need. It’s gettingte. You can get something to eat first. I’ll take a taxi back to thepany after
I’m done,” she
answered.
“All right then. I’ll go off first. Michael stepped into the elevator and went downstairs.
Taylor took Cassandra to the top floor in Ondo’s personal elevator. It was now time to get off work.
The only people working on the top floor were Ondo’s secretary department. Although they were
unsure of her identity, they wouldn’t simply make assumptions or gossip about it.
After arriving at the office, Ondo was on the phone, so Cassandra waited on the couch.
On the coffee table in front of her was a takeout for two,
He prepared food for me too?” she wondered.
Looking at the silhouette of Ondo’s back, she felt a little excited.
About a minuteter, Ondo ended the call and walked over. He sat on the armchair on her left and
offered, “Let’s eat first.”
Neither of them mentioned what had happenedst night again. They ate their lunch in silence.
Cassandra’s appetite was small. Although it changed slightly after her pregnancy, she still put down her
fork after eating only
a little.
Ondo peered at her and asked, “You don’t like it?”
“No, it’s not that. I talked to Mr. Wright about work just now and had some pastry, so I’m not too
hungry,” Cassandra responded.
Ondo didn’t think too much about it and just hummed in acknowledgment.
She asked. “Ondo, you wanted to discuss Grandpa Peter’s birthday banquet with me?”
“Yeah,” he replied.
“What do you want me to do?” she asked.
