Chapter 47
[So, this is all Yulissa’s self-directed act?]
[She risked her life just to drive Cassandra out of the Yates family?]
[Everyone, you have to understand that for an imposter to have permanent status, she'll have to kick out the real one.] [How vicious of her!]
[Tsk, tsk... So, this is how the Yates family educates their children. | can’t even find words to describe this.]
[I almost fell for that innocent display. | didn’t expect her to be so evil inside!]
Even Benjamin, Leonardo, and Miranda were in disbelief as they looked at Yulissa after hearing the recording.
‘Did our precious Yulissa actually say that?*
Yulissa’s face turned pale, and she sobbed miserably. “Dad, Mom, Leo, you have to believe me. | didn’t say that. | don’t know why Cassandra made this fake recording, but that isn’t me. Please believe me.”
‘I can’t admit it. | can’t!
‘Arecording can’t prove anything.’
Leonardo wavered.
Yulissa had been kind ever since she was a child and had never lied.
‘Did Cassandra perhaps accuse her?
‘Even if she prepared the recording in advance, how could this turn up at such perfect timing?’
Cassandra knew this would happen. Everyone in the Yates family seemed like they were under a spell and always trusted Yulissa unconditionally. Even when the truth was presented right before them, they would not accept it.
“How can you prove that your recording is real?” Leonardo refused to believe her.
This was how the Yates family was.
He kept telling her that he was her brother, yet he only trusted Yulissa.

He immediately trusted the waiter who said one sentence but refused the truth even when the recording was played for him.
“You are welcome to take it for identification at any time. Here’s the complete recording and the whole process of tonight's auction. Do you think | recorded this beforehand as well? Well, that’s amazingly all-knowing of me to be able to know everyone’s offers.”
‘It's not his fault for being stupid, but he is wrong for not realizing his own stupidity
“Even if Lisa really did say those things, why did you push her? Didn’t she ask you to save her? Why didn’t you?” Leonardo completely displayed his idiocy in public.
Kayden shook his head. ‘How can the Yates family have such an idiotic relative?’
Indeed, Kayden was considered in the Yates family register, but he was a genuine member of the family.
In a more traditional way, Kayden was a direct line of descent from the Yates family.
Meanwhile, the others were relatives that had nothing to do with him. They could not even be included in the family registry. Fortunately, the Yates family did not acknowledge these people.
Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing.
“Mr. Yates, if you refuse to give up, | still have’other evidence. Would you like to see them?”
“No, don’t!” Yulissa hurriedly stopped this. “Cassandra, I’ve forgiven you. | won’t pursue the matter any
further. Please don’t do this.”
‘If it’s just a recording, | can still explain myself. If Cassandra brings out anything else, it'll be the end of me tonight!"
“You forgave me and would stop pursuing the matter?” Cassandra seemed like she heard a joke and retorted, “But | want to keep talking about it!”
Cassandra pointed to the corner on the terrace.
“See that? There is a hidden miniature surveillance camera, so the terrace isn’t a blind spot. There are also surveillance cameras keeping watch. We'll know what the truth is as long as we check the surveillance footage.”
Everyone focused their/eyes and noticed there were indeed surveillance cameras.

Yulissa was so frightened she stumbled backward.

‘How could this be? Isn’t the terrace a blind spot? Why are there surveillance cameras? It’s over. It’s all over! Before she could figure out what to do, Kenneth had signaled Yannick to get the surveillance footage. Three minutes later, Yannick showed up with a laptop.
The surveillance footage was displayed on the screen.
“Mr. Yates, would you like to see? It’s quite interesting.”
Leonardo felt a little embarrassed.
If he still did not understand what was going on by then, he could consider himself growing up in vain. However, he did not expect Yulissa to do such a thing and slander Cassandra at the risk of her own safety. ‘And it’s all to drive Cassandra away?
‘How much did she say was the truth about what happened at home for those two months?
“Cassandra, it's all my fault. Please forgive me,” Yulissa suddenly apologized, which surprised Cassandra. ‘Shouldn’t she be adamant about not admitting to her faults? Then, she should be saying | accused her“
“Lisa, why did you do this?” Benjamin asked in disappointment.
Yulissa stuttered between sobs, “I-I was just too angry. C-Cassandra had the medicine to treat Ray, but why doesn’t she hand it out?”
“Ray is also her brother. No matter how much Cassandra disliked me, she shouldn't treat Ray like that, so I...”
Miranda immediately believed Yulissa’s explanation. She trusted Yulissa was obedient and would never do such a thing. Even if she did, there must be a reason.
‘She did it for Ray. | must've been blessed in this life to have such a great daughter!
Cassandra could not help but applaud.

“| must say, this remark really hits the spot for me. It's the first time I've heard anyone talk about guilt-tripping in such a refreshing way.” Cassandra grinned wildly and said, “I can give my medicine to whoever | want. Who are you to ask me for it? You say you're
my relatives, but what have you done to prove that?”
“After | became an adult, you provided for me for two months. Didn’t | give you back the 20-thousand—dollar living expenses and the 200-thousand-dollar tuition fees? What else do you want? My life?” Cassandra questioned.
Leonardo felt a little guilty and argued stiffly, “You are the Yates family’s daughter, which means you’re a member of our family, and your things belong to our family,
too.”NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“Mr. Yates, go back and check the household register to see if my name is there. If it’s there, come back here and dispute me.”
Miranda could not help but retort, “Do you think that tiny sum is enough? | let you eat my food, stay in my house, and use my things. Don’t those things cost money? Clothes, too. | used my money to afford those!”
‘She wants to cut ties with us? No chance!"
“Mrs. Yates, I’ve paid all the expenses without missing a cent. Also, what did | use? Do you think | dare touch what belongs to the Yates family? As for clothes, you really know how to pick them out. All of them are in Yulissa’s size, but | need to pay? Do you think. I’m a pushover?”
She went to the Yates residence and only took two sets of clothes. When she left, she wore one set while the other was deemed unnecessary.
‘Now, they’re saying they bought the clothes for me? How shameless!”
“Y—You... How can the clothes | bought for you in Yulissa’s size?”
“Mrs. Yates, you didn’t check my storeroom, did you? Once you go there, you'll see whether those clothes exist.” Back then, Cassandra left the Yates residence with nothing, and everyone saw that.
