Chapter 429 Trouble Always Found Her


    "Cassandra, I might nevere back ever again,"


    Lyndsy told Cassandra, looking at her with eyes full of sadness.


    "Don''t say that. You don''t know that. You just need to believe in yourself,"


    Cassandra feigned cheerfulness as she encouraged her friend. She knew that Lyndsy was very upset


    at the moment and she hoped with all her heart that all this would be over soon. This was the best way


    she could help her friend.


    "Well, about the studio I bought, can you help me sell it? I am going abroad after we finish shooting this


    film,"


    Lyndsy said with her head lowered in an attempt to hide her eyes and thoughts from her friend. She


    didn''t want Cassandra to worry too much about her.


    "No problem! I will wait for you toe back after your treatment!"


    Cassandra immediately agreed. Lyndsy''s decision to go abroad and be treated made her happy. She


    loved that Lyndsy had hope again.


    What Cassandra failed to notice, however, was the sadness hidden in Lyndsy''s eyes which could not


    seem to go away easily. Lyndsy hid her emotions well.


    All of Lyndsy''s former employees now went their own ways. Cassandra was the only one left. She


    stood waiting for potential buyers to arrive and see the ce for themselves.


    The small building that Lyndsy bought was newly decorated and it was still very suitable for work. The


    surroundings were quiet too.


    Cassandra already managed to contact one interested buyer who promised that she would be there


    this afternoon. So, Cassandra waited patiently for her arrival.


    Suddenly, an extremely familiar figure appeared in the studio. Cassandra was almost sure her eyes


    were deceiving her. Suddenly, she couldn''t breathe.


    s, she was wrong. Right in front of her was Amanda, with her head held high. She walked briskly


    towards her in confident strides.


    Beside her was another familiar woman that Cassandra hoped she would never see again: Ivy.


    Cassandra jested in her head at the peculiar scenario. This was not a coincidence at all. Clearly, they


    came here for a reason that she knew she was about to find out.


    The truth was Amanda''s visit was Ivy''s idea. She found out that Lyndsy was selling her studio and she


    immediately ryed the information to Amanda. As soon as Amanda heard the news, she knew that


    this was the chance that they had been waiting for. She immediately asked her people to get in touch


    with Cassandra and arrange an appointment with her that afternoon.


    Amanda made sure that she was well-dressed. She wore a beautiful dress that showed off her curves.


    She wanted to make sure that she was more beautiful than Cassandra.


    She almost wanted tough when she saw the clothes that Cassandra was wearing.


    Blue jeans and a simple coat were all she wore, resembling a girl who just graduated from university.


    More importantly, she looked t. She did not have anything on Amanda.


    Amanda walked towards Cassandra, smiling sweetly. Her intentions, though, were not as sweet.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    "What a pity. Your studio is closed? Well, I consider myself quite lucky, then. My business is flying and I


    need the additional space," she said contemptuously.


    This irritated Cassandra very much, but she managed to contain herself.


    This was Lyndsy''s studio, after all. The sooner she sold the ce, the better for Lyndsy. She had to


    focus.


    "That''s great to hear. I would love to give you a tour,"


    Cassandra replied politely. It was as if she had never met the two women before. She forced a smile,


    determined to amodate them well.


    "No need to give us a tour. I trust your taste. Besides, I''m sure we have the same preference


    considering that you also fancy my fiance,"


    Amanda replied sarcastically through a stered smile as her eyes grew stone cold.


    The smile on Cassandra''s face immediately disappeared. Now, she was sure that Amanda was looking


    for a fight.


    "Oh, that''s good, then. Let me make a contract for you right now,"


    Cassandra calmly replied. If Amanda was willing to pay, then who was she to refuse? A deal was a


    deal.


    "Don''t you find it strange, Miss. Qin? You seem to bring some bad luck with you, don''t you? When you


    were with the Qin Group, it closed. When you started managing Lyndsy''s studio, Lyndsy got into an


    ident too! Well, lucky for you, I happen to know someone who can help change your luck. I would


    be happy to connect you. Would you like me to give you his address? You don''t want to cause any


    more trouble for the people close to you, I''m sure."


    Amanda was starting to be more and more abrasive as she continued to insult Cassandra.


    Cassandra closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Then, she turned and looked at Amanda calmly.


    "If you are here to buy this ce, then you are a client to me, Miss Ke. So of course, I would love to


    amodate you. But if you''re only here to pick a fight, then I would have to ask you to leave,"


    Cassandra was not going to let this vile woman keep saying those hurtful words to her anymore.


    "Ha! Stop pretending to be good and polite. I know you are nothing like this!"


    Ivy interrupted.


    "I am not pretending. I am doing my best to amodate you because you are my client. But if you


    keep insulting me, I am not going to just sit here and take it,"


    Cassandra said coldly as she stared at the two women fearlessly.


    "Cassandra, I am warning you. Stay away from Rufus. He is my fiance!"


    Amanda said. She was no longer smiling. In fact, she was furious. She did not expect Cassandra to be


    so strong-willed. Ivy was right. She was difficult to deal with.


    "How about you ask Rufus to get away from me instead? Besides, do you really think that Rufus


    considers you as his fiancee?"


    Cassandra retorted. She just couldn''t contain her anger anymore. The Amanda in front of her didn''t


    seem to be mentally ill at all. She actually sounded very logical. Her head seemed clear and intact. She


    didn''t seem like someone bothered by her illness.


    Well, she must have pretended to be sick!


    Amanda did not know how to react to Cassandra''s words. She hated to admit it, but she was right. She


    had never felt so humiliated.


    Their engagement was only a formality. Rufus didn''t really love her. In fact, he avoided her and ignored


    her presence whenever they were in the same ce. With Cassandra, however, he even went at great


    lengths just to help her out in the press conference.


    She thought that Rufus had already cut ties with Cassandra. She thought they had finally broken up for


    real. But clearly, she was wrong and they were together again.


    "It doesn''t matter if he sees me as his fiancee or not. He will never love a woman living with another


    man!"


    Amanda knew about what was happening between rk and Cassandra. Whenever she thought about


    it, she got goosebumps. She could not imagine how Cassandra managed to live with such a horrible


    man like rk.


    "Leave now or I will call Rufus, ask him toe here and see what his fiancee is doing,"


    Cassandra said firmly as she took out her phone to stress how serious she was.


    Ivy immediately walked up and snatched the phone out of Cassandra''s hand. Not only that, she also


    pped Cassandra''s face before she could react.


    "You bitch! I wanted to p you a long time ago. I wouldn''t have been thrown out of the Tang family if it


    weren''t for you! You took my man away, that''s fine. Now, you want to take Amanda''s man away too?


    Are you really that desperate that you can''t find another man to pay attention to you? No one else is


    here to help you. How about I break your face, huh? Aren''t you good friends with the disfigured


    Lyndsy?"


    With these words, Ivy reached out to scratch Cassandra''s face with her long nails, but she missed!


    Cassandra took a step back and stared at Ivy with eyes full of disbelief. What did she just say? The two


    of them came here not only to insult her, but also to destroy her? How horrible!


    Ivy''s words triggered Amanda even more.


    She brought Ivy with her in case she needed help. But Cassandra was all alone. It was two against


    one! Surely, they would have the upper hand.


    Thinking of this, Amanda totally forgot her image. She walked up and tried to scratch Cassandra''s face


    as well. ''Ha! Nobody will ever love her again if she loses that pretty face!'' she thought viciously.


    Cassandra immediately turned her head to dodge when she saw her frightening, red nails. Suddenly,


    she felt a pang of pain on her neck.


    Amanda missed her face but managed to get her neck. She looked proudly at what she had done.


    "Cassandra, you bitch! You don''t know how to do anything but seduce other people''s men."


    Amanda looked at her with bloodthirsty eyes. The scratches on Cassandra''s neck invigorated her.


    Right now, she felt so furious that she almost wanted to kill this woman.


    Cassandra''s eyebrows furrowed because of the pain. She raised a hand to gently touch the wound, but


    the stab of pain was enough to make her realize that it was bad.


    Ivy, who stood aside, did not help Amanda. Instead, she watched the two women quietly with


    calcting eyes.


    Ivy intentionally missed her first attack when she went for Cassandra''s face. She just wanted Amanda


    to follow suit. She did not expect it to be this easy.


    Apparently, Amanda was a very emotional woman who rarely used her brain. Triggering her was easy.


    It only took a bit of effort for Ivy to provoke her to follow her bidding.


    "Amanda, I thought you hurt your hand? Why do you suddenly have the strength to scratch me?"


    Cassandra pointed out, staring at Amanda intensely with cold eyes.


    Now, she was sure. Amanda had only been pretending to be sick all this time to get Rufus''s sympathy.


    Honestly, Cassandra was quite surprised that Rufus believed her tricks considering that he was a very


    smart man.


    Hearing Cassandra''s question, Amanda suddenly got very nervous. She involuntarily hid her hand


    behind her and took a step back. She did not know how to respond to her.


    "If you don''t leave right now, I will call the police! I''m sure you wouldn''t want anyone to know what you


    did today. If I were you, I''d fuck off,"


    Cassandra said, doing her best to contain her emotions. She was determined not to stoop down at their


    level. Besides, there was no use arguing with such a vile woman.


    "Ha! Are you threatening us now? Do you really think that we''d be scared of you? If something is going


    out in public, it''ll be your scandals! The eldest daughter of the Qin family and her adulterous home-


    wrecking. What an interesting headline it would be! What would your parents say? Will they pass out


    from anger or from shame?"


    Ivy was no longer going at her, but she couldn''t stand quiet at the side either.


    Hearing her words, a thought suddenly came to Cassandra. Something wasn''t right. Vernon was still in


    prison. How would any news reach him?


    She suddenly remembered something: Vernon was threatened by someone before the trial, and he


    was so scared that he tried to kill himself. Until now, that person had not yet been identified.
