Ondo also put down his fork and wiped his mouth with a tissue, looking at Cassandra afterward. He
said, “I wish to make the birthday banquet livelier so Grandpa can be happy. And I’ll officially invite the
Jackson family with you tonight.”
He didn’t ask Cassandra for her opinions, only stating his decision.
The Jackson family would definitely be invited to Peter’s birthday banquet, and it was better for
Cassandra to go together with Ondo instead of going alone.
At least it would save some unnecessary conflicts and trouble in that way.
Cassandra had no objections to Ondo’s decision, so she nodded and said, “Okay. I’ll do as you say.”
I’ll pick you up tonight, replied Ondo.
Cassandra rejected, “I can drive there myself. Let’s meet at the Jackson residence…“
Ondo interrupted her, “Cassandra, we’re a married couple. No couple will move separately.”
With Ondo’s deep voice and determined attitude, Cassandra felt that Ondo was behaving a little
differently than usual.
Cassandra pursed her lips and kept quiet, and Ondo considered her silence a tacit agreement.
Since Ondo had a meeting to attend, Cassandra left after staying for a while.
She returned to herpany and wanted to discuss the interior design modification matters with
Michael, but Michael’s assistant said, “Mr. Collins hasn’t returned yet.”
“Hasn’t returned yet?” Cassandra repeated with a frown and gave Michael a call, but no one answered,
and the call hung up automatically.
Cassandra didn’t think much and returned to her office, assuming Michael might be busy.
Cassandra stayed busy until the time of getting off work when her phone rang. Seeing the name on the
screen, she squinted slightly and smiled in surprise.
She answered the call immediately, “Hello!”
“You haven’t contacted me for a long time. Cassandra, what a good friend you are, a woman said as
her upsetting tone was heard from the phone.
Cassandra rubbed her temples and replied softly. “Whoever calls first loses. You want me to lose?”
“What? So you want me to lose instead?” the woman replied.
“Of course not. Cassandra chuckled and then asked, “Why the sudden call?”
“I’ming to Broburgh next month for some business. Is it convenient for us to meet?” the woman
asked.
Cassandra’s face turned gentle, and she replied delightfully, “Definitely. Let me know in advance when
you’reing. I’ll arrange a ce for you to stay.”
“Can I stay at your house?” the womary asked.
“If you want to, said Cassandra.

“Good. Be patient and wait for my arrival then, the woman replied.
After chatting for a while, they ended the call.
Cassandra was really happy, showing an obvious smile on her face. She then noticed a message from
Ondo one minute……. ago, [I’ve reached.]
After replying to Ondo, she tumed off herputer and left the office with her ba
When she passed Michael’s office, she immediately asked, “Michael hasn’t returned yet?”
Michael’s assistant replied, “Yes. I called him, but no one answered.”
Cassandra frowned. After looking at the time, she said, “Keep contacting him. Once he responds, ask
him to send me at
message.

“Understood, the assistant replied.
When Cassandra left the building, Ondo was already waiting by the roadside.
Cassandra sat in the passenger seat and fastened her seat belt. She looked at Ondo and asked,
“Been waiting for a long
time?
“Not long. Who were you talking to just now?” Ondo asked back.
“A friend, Cassandra replied.
Seeing Cassandra had no intention of continuing the topic, Ondo did not ask more.
It was a smooth ride to the Jackson residence.
The Jackson family didn’t know that Cassandra and Ondo wereing, so when the couple walked
into the house, they heard Evelyn say unhappily, “Cassandra sure bes rebellious now, even
daring to fight back. We shouldn’t have taken her back in the first ce, let alone married her to the
Quinn family. She wouldn’t have dared to treat me like this otherwis it weren’t for her, would our family
evene to an end?”
Evelyn’s voice sounded almost hysterical when she was criticizing Cassandra, even ming all the
dissatisfaction and responsibility on her.
Immediately after, Suzanneforted Evelyn and whispered, “Mom, calm down. Your heart is unwell,
and the doctor said you need to keep in a good mood. As for Cassandra and Ondo’s divorce, that’s a
business between a married couple. We can’t interfere too much.”
Evelyn said, “Even if they’re a couple, Cassandra should not forget that she’s still from the Jackson
family. I don’t expect her to do anything for us, but I hope she won’t drag us down. Look at those
rumors spread around. How nasty they are!”
Suzanne replied, “Maybe it’s just a misunderstanding. Thomas is a yboy, so I don’t think Cassandra
has any contact with him.”
Evelyn retorted, “Suzanne, don’t make excuses for her. Cassandra didn’t grow up by my side, so I don’t
know what kind of person she is.”
Cassandra stood in the foyer with an indifferent face, tightening her clenched hand on the shoe
cab. Ondo narrowed his eyes slightly and held her, guiding her into the house.
He said with a lowered tone, “If Cassandra and I didn’te here today, we wouldn’t know how
dissatisfied you are with us.” Both Evelyn and Suzanne turned shocked. After feeling her face froze
slightly, Evelyn hurriedly stood up and said,

Ondo, you’re here! Have a seat.”
She nced at Cassandra, ming her for not telling her about their arrival.
Suzanne hurriedly asked a housekeeper to make coffice and whispered. “Ondo, why didn’t you tell
us in advance that you’reing? We would have ordered our chef to prepare dishes.”
I’m apanying Cassandra, Ondo said as lie took Cassandra to sit down, never letting go of her
hand.
Cassandra didn’t speak the whole time. Her face was indifferent, with her eyes filled with alienation and
coldness.
Just then, Austin entered the house. Although he was Ondo’s father–inw, his status in the
business field was still lower than that of Ondo. Therefore, he would behave politely before Ondo.
Cassandra and Ondo didn’t intend to stay for dinner. After exchanging pleasantries, Cassandra said,
“We came to tell you something.
Evelyn’s face turned cold immediately, and she said, “Cassandra, don’t be ungrateful. And stop thinking
about getting a divorce. You should be grateful that Ondo did not care about your awful affairs.
Why’re you still trying to be obnoxious?”
With her lips pursed. Cassandra looked indifferent.
Suzanne immediately held Evelyn’s hand and said, “Mom, stop that. Ondo is still here.”
Upon hearing that, Evelyn stopped scolding.
Cassandra replied calmly, “So everything done by me, a daughter who didn’t grow up by your side and
whom you don’t fully understand, is wrong, huh?”
“You…” Evelyn uttered
“We’re here to invite you all to attend Grandpa Peter’s birthday banquet in the Quinn manor in a few
days, Cassandra interrupted Evelyn coldly, stating her aim ofing here.
The atmosphere quieted down as well. Evelyn’s expression changed slightly, but there was no hint of
apology from her, keeping silent instead.
Austin hurriedly replied, “Okay, Ondo. We’ll attend on time. We wish Mr. Peter Quinn a happy
birthday in advance.” “Thank you,” Ondo replied and got up with Cassandra. Austin asked them to
stay for dinner, but Ondo refused, “Cassandra and I are going out to eat and watch a movie
together.”
Under the astonished gaze of the other three, he left the Jackson residence with Cassandra.
Suzanne whispered, “Ondo seems to have a good rtionship with Cassandra. Mom, you’d better
watch your mouth in the future.”
After saying that, she went upstairs, with her emotions and thoughts hidden in her mind suppressed
deeply.
Outside the mansion, Cassandra and Ondo got into their car, but Ondo didn’t start the engine.
Cassandra looked at him in surprise and asked, “What are you waiting for?”
“Where do you want to go?” Ondo asked.
“Huh?” Cassandra eximed in confusion.
