Cassandra’s hand trembled as she ate, the cutlery nearly falling to the floor.
“You don’t have to rush into a decision. You have time to think it over until you finalize the divorce. I’ve waited for you for twelve years. This time, it should be my turn.”
Cassandra didn’t respond. She was lost in thought. She had loved him for twelve years, only to realize it was a mistake. Now that it was finally ending… was she really ready to start something new? She wasn’t sure. In the end, Trevor remained a gentleman and drove her home.
Samuel had returned to the country and so had Trevor. He mentioned he’d be going to the airport to pick him up in a week.
Cassandra and Harry went to Zeanor together a week later. Because Cassandra had grown up in that country, she still wanted to settle there. Adam and Bella didn’t object. Instead, they let Harry accompany her, hoping he could guide her in managing the company’s business.
During this time, messages from Samuel never stopped. Every single day, he would send an apology. Even after she blocked him, he found new numbers to contact her. Cassandra found it ridiculous and didn’t bother reading them.
On this particular day, Cassandra was scheduled to meet a business partner for the first time. Harry decided to accompany her. It was a little warm inside when they arrived at the private dining room. Cassandra took off her jacket and Harry took it from her to hold onto. Unfortunately, Samuel walked in and saw everything just at that moment. Without a second thought, he stormed over and punched Harry. Harry fought back immediately. Soon, both men were quickly separated.
She turned and slapped Samuel across the face without thinking twice. “What the hell is wrong with you?” she snapped.
Samuel was stunned. Did Cassandra actually hit him for another man?
His expression darkened as he grabbed Cassandra’s shoulders and growled, “Cassandra, I’ve been begging for your forgiveness for so long. You won’t even reply to a single message, but you’re out here messing around with some random guy. When did you become so shameless?”
Slap! Another slap landed on the other side of his face.
Cassandra wrenched herself free and stepped back, looking at the spot he had just touched her with evident disgust. “Samuel, did you eat shit this morning? Your mouth is filthy. If you’re mentally ill, go get treated. Don’t come out and spread your disease!”
Then, Cassandra turned around to check Harry’s injuries and said with concern, “You are bleeding, I will accompany you to the hospital.”
Samuel cut in before Harry could respond, “He hit me too! I’m injured as well! You should
become so shameless

Then, Cassandra turned around to check Harry’s injuries and said with concern, “You are bleeding, I will accompany you to the hospital.”
Samuel cut in before Harry could respond, “He hit me too! I’m injured as well! You should
take me to the hospital!”
The previous Cassandra would indeed accompany him, but the current Cassandra would only think that Harry hadn’t hit him hard enough.
“Idiot.” Cassandra held onto Harry and was ready to leave, but Samuel clung to her like a piece of gum that wouldn’t come off. Frustrated, she called for the restaurant manager and pointed at Samuel. “Kick him out.”
Samuel scoffed. “I’m a VIP here. Let’s see if anyone dares!”
Cassandra rolled her eyes and threw cold water on his arrogance. “I’m the owner of this place. You’re showing off in the wrong spot.
The manager immediately turned respectful. “I apologize, Boss. This was my mistake. I’II have them removed at once.”
Samuel was dumbfounded. “You own this place? That’s impossible! That man next to you gave it to you, didn’t he?”
“Cassandra, I know you’re angry about what I did, but you don’t have to degrade yourself like this.” He tried to seize her, looking like the self–righteous ex.
However, Harry blocked him. “Samuel, if you touch her again, I’ll break your hands.” Samuel didn’t recognize the man before him and didn’t think he could do so. Samuel then spoke arrogantly, “Just you? I’m a member of the Nolan Family, do you know what the Nolans‘ status is in Hathern? If you offend me, you won’t have a good time. Cassandra is my woman. If you know what’s good for you, get lost.”
Cassandra had enough of his nonsense. “What are you all standing around for? Throw him out. He’s banned from this place from now on.”
The manager stepped forward, ready to do as she ordered. Samuel panicked. “I’m here to discuss a deal with Hurricane Group! If you kick me out, you’ll be the ones suffering the loss!”
“I now announce that the cooperation between Hurricane Group and you ends here!” Cassandra said without a doubt.
