Chapter 49
Benjamin, with his family, almost fled with their tails between their legs.
They were thoroughly humiliated that day.
They did not know how they were supposed to continue staying in that circle after what happened.
At home, Yulissa cried miserably as she apologized, “Dad, Mom, please punish me. | didn’t mean to do it. Cassandra crossed the line, so | wanted to take revenge for Ray!”
Yulissa’s sobs attracted Raymond. ‘For me? What did she mean by that?’
He went downstairs and saw Yulissa crying her eyes out, so he hurriedly comforted her, “Don’t cry, Lisa. What's the matter? Tell me.”
Benjamin and Leonardo were annoyed by her cries.
Leonardo could not understand why a girl liked crying so much. At least, he had never seen Cassandra shed a tear before when he was with her.
Yulissa bawled as she explained the situation. Although it was the truth, she added the excuse of doing it for Cassandra and Raymond's sake.
Benjamin’s expression eased slightly. Miranda hugged her pitifully. Yulissa’s thoughtfulness broke her heart.
‘That brat Cassandra only knows how to make trouble for us!’
However, Raymond could not stay calm after hearing this.
“Who is she to sell the medicine to others? When we asked her to find the miracle doctor back then, she refused. She had the medicine but didn’t give it to me. I’m her brother! Is she asking to be taught a lesson?”
Raymond fumed, ‘That brat had the medicine to cure me but didn’t give it to me! If | don’t teach her a lesson, | am bound for heaven!’
Leonardo was shocked by Raymond's attitude.
‘Even he thinks so? No, | agree with him as well.
Leonardo also thought Cassandra’s things belonged to the Yates family.
“Cassandra, that ungrateful brat! Ray, go to her and let her invite the miracle doctor to treat you. Either that or ask her to give you the medicine.”

Miranda spoke smugly.
‘Cutting ties with the Yates family? She doesn’t know her place!’
“Mom, Cassandra has severed her ties with us. What right do we have to demand something from her?” Leonardo could not help but blurt out.
He did not know what he was thinking right now.
* However, he knew regret was slowly spreading within him.
“What do you mean she severed her ties with us? She’s my daughter. Her stuff is mine too!”
‘| carried her for ten months and gave birth to her. Isn’t it natural for her to repay us?’ Miranda pondered indignantly.
“If | remember correctly, she had repaid you at Lisa’s 18th birthday celebration. Two months after the reunion, she still wasn’t admitted by you as a family and even lived in a storeroom. Mom, go inside and see for yourself whether that place is livable. The cats Lisa raised lived in a better place than that.”
Leonardo felt quite depressed. Back then, he felt Miranda was the most reasonable
person.
She gave birth to six sons and a daughter, all of whom were excellent.
Yet, Miranda did not display the same affection for Cassandra for some reason. She only had hatred and contempt toward Cassandra.
Benjamin did not dare think further. He could not bear to stay in this house any longer tonight.
Hence, he walked away.
Behind him, Miranda kept calling him, yet he ignored her.
“Mom, does Leo hate me now? | was wrong. | really, truly know it’s my fault. | didn’t mean it. I'll apologize to Cassandra and Leo, okay?”
Yulissa admitted she was panicking.
Yulissa thought frantically, Leo is of high status. If he stopped caring about me, what should | do? | have no confidence the other five brothers will listen to me either.
Therefore, she needed to comfort Benjamin and Miranda. She had to deal with them before thinking about her next plans.

“Don't cry, Lisa. Leo is ignorant. When he comes back tomorrow, I'll scold him for you.”
Heartbroken, Miranda held Yulissa in her arms and comforted the latter.
Good news would always go on crutches, while bad news traveled fast.
The next day, everyone in their circle knew about the Yates family’s shameful acts and that wolf in sheep’s clothing, the imposter. Benjamin was woken up by a series of noisy phone ringtones early in the morning.
“What did you say? Say it again!”
Benjamin was so shocked he lost all trace of drowsiness.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
After he hung up the call, he quickly dressed himself. He had to rush to the company.
“What's going on?” Miranda asked sleepily.
“Yates Group’s stock almost plummeted to nothing, and you still have time to sleep!”
Not to mention, many business partners canceled their contracts with them.
The loss was worth almost billions of dollars.
Kenneth was behind all of this. He could make the Yates family disappear within a day.
However, their hatred would only grow deeper if retribution came swiftly. Hatred was not despair. Only when they suffer through a long process would they realize their own mistakes. This was the best feeling for Kenneth.
They needed to pay and
repent.
Miranda was also taken aback.
“How could this happen?”
“The incident yesterday had spread around!”
At this time, the news also broke out on the internet.
Is that Frederick’s sister? She’s too vicious!]
| really don’t understand it/ Isn’t she the adopted daughter? Why did she want to compete with the real daughter? Can’t she just stay put at home? She’s a laughing stock now.]
How disgusting! Not only did she desire the things that don’t belong to her, but she also treated the real daughter that way.]

The real daughter has left and cut all ties with the Yates family. Why is the Yates family still shamelessly begging for attention?] This sends a chill down my spine. | rushed to ask my parents if they had an adopted daughter. I’m so afraid. What if she stabs me in the back?]
(According to the recording, she deliberately occupied the room Leonardo prepared. for Cassandra just to make Cassandra sleep in the storeroom. That's disgusting.]
My second bedroom is 160 square feet. It's twice the size of the real daughter’s room!]
[Cassic, my grandmother told me to ask if you'd like to be a child of my family. Although my family is not wealthy, we are all very loving!]
(Wow! The last comment moved me to tears!]
She jumped into the pool by herself and pushed the blame on someone else. How disgusting!]
[And here | thought she was kind. How ‘kind’ of her, | suppose!]
The netizens discussed the topic enthusiastically. Some of Frederick’s fans even tagged
him.
As a result, his cell phone kept ringing.
The manager took his phone out to check what was happening, and his expression grew darker the more he read.
He thought, | knew it! That daughter of the Yates family isn’t a good person! How vicious of her!’
“Frederick, your phone keeps ringing.”
‘He should see for himself what his sister is like. Otherwise, he would always think everyone is bad-mouthing his sister. Isn't this obvious enough?”
Frederick picked up his phone and checked the situation. Then, his expression grew darker. ‘I can’t believe my fans are criticizing Yulissa! What fools!”
He immediately posted: [Yulissa is the best sister in the world. | don’t accept the rumors. Those who criticized her should wait to be summoned to court.]
His manager, Caven Arden, almost went mad with anger.
Caven wondered, ‘Does he not see the truth? He’s even posting that!’

you for posting this?”
“| don’t need to see to know Cassandra set Lisa up.”
Frederick thought, ‘My sister would never do something like this!’
“You're hopeless! | want to manage another artist.”
‘| refuse to work with brainless celebrities. It's insulting to me!’ Caven fumed inwardly.
After reading Frederick’s tweet, everyone changed the way they view Frederick. However, the latter did not seem to realize his mistake.
Frederick thought, ‘It's because they don’t understand Lisa. She wouldn’t do such a thing!’
