Chapter 26
“This ingrate! I'll teach her a lesson today!” Benjamin was trembling with anger!
It had only been a short time, and the Yates family had lost a few hundred million dollars. Benjamin thought Cassandra must have come to bring bad luck to the Yates. family.
“Dad, let's go together. Cassandra must give us an explanation for this,” said Leonardo.
He had always been the one suing others and winning the lawsuits.
Hence, he didn’t expect to lose in Cassandra’s hand. He had underestimated her this time.
However, this didn’t mean that she could harm the interests of the Yates family.
“Yes, let’s go together. Cassandra is so unruly.” Jasper agreed.
“But where does she live?” Yulissa suddenly asked.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Nobody knew where Cassandra lived.
She left the Yates residence long ago, but no one knew where she lived.
Moreover, no one knew where she obtained over 200 thousand dollars, which she sent to the Yates residence.
The Yates family wondered if Cassandra had h ooked up with a rich man outside.
“Lisa, do
you
know where she lives?” Miranda asked softly.
“Mom, I’m sorry. | don’t know where Cassandra lives, but when Ray was racing before, she and his opponent were together. | guess Ray knows that person,” Yulissa answered.
“Together with Raymond's opponent? It seems that Cassandra did have something to do with what happened to Ray's hand. D amn it! | wish she’s dead!’ Miranda cursed inwardly.
“Let's call Ray and ask him.” Matthew then called Raymond.
The phone was answered in seconds.
“Matt, what’s up?” Raymond asked.
“Who's the person you were racing with?” Matthew asked.

“Jeremiah, what's the matter?” Raymond spoke of Jeremiah with hatred.
“Do you know where he lives? We need to find Cassandra, but we don’t know where she stays. Perhaps he knows her whereabouts.”
“Jeremiah is from Whitecrane Hall. You can only look for him in Whitecrane Hall. | don’t know where he lives,” said Raymond. He sent someone for an investigation and obtained this piece of information after he lost the first game against Jeremiah. He only knew Jeremiah was from Whitecrane Hall, but no one knew his true identity.
After hanging up the phone, Matthew was stunned for a moment.
Even though he didn’t know Jeremiah’s identity, he was aware of the significance and reputation associated with Whitecrane Hall.
He couldn't believe Cassandra had a relationship with someone from Whitecrane Hall.
Jasper’s expression turned grim when he heard Jeremiah’s name.
Jeremiah held a pivotal role in Whitecrane Hall. While much of the collaboration only involved Hugo, Jeremiah was the one who made the final decisions. He only made appearances when contracts were officially signed.
The hospital Jasper worked at collaborated with Whitecrane Hall before to purchase the medicinal materials. Unexpectedly, somehow, the cooperation was terminated in advance a few days ago.
“Then let’s go to Whitecrane Hall. Benjamin decided immediately.
Meanwhile, at Whitecrane Hall, concern was evident on Hugo’s face.
“Jeremiah, has Boss returned home yet?” Hugo asked.
It was inevitable that he felt worried, as it was the court session today.
“Of course. Jonathan sent her home,” Jeremiah said casually.
The receptionist lady, Scarlett Anderson, came in suddenly.
“Mr. Lawson, someone wants to see you outside,” she said.
Jeremiah raised his eyebrows and asked, “Who is it?”
“Benjamin, the chairman of Yates Group.”
This was how the visitor introduced himself.
Jeremiah’s face instantly darkened. He didn’t expect these people to come to him.
‘Interesting, he thought.
Jeremiah decided to avenge the grievances Cassandra had suffered against them.
“Take them to the reception room. I'll be there in a moment.”
Fifteen minutes later, the Yates family was sitting impatiently in the reception room.
Benjamin and Leonardo were wearing stern expressions.
No one had ever made them wait that long. They were getting angrier with each passing
minute.
“Everyone, thank you for waiting.”
Jeremiah pushed open the door and entered the room, followed by Hugo. Despite thanking the Yates family for waiting, he carried himself with perfect ease and showed no sign of remorse.
Yulissa was shocked to see them, especially Hugo!
This was the old man who picked up Cassandra at the gate of the school before. She didn’t expect him to be someone from Whitecrane Hall.
‘No wonder that woman is so arrogant. It turns out she has h ooked up with someone from Whitecrane Hall, she thought. Yulissa perceived Hugo as some sort of butler.
She couldn’t comprehend why Cassandra seemed to feel superior by having a relationship with him.
Jasper recognized Hugo, so there was a touch of respect on his face.
“What can | do for you?” Jeremiah spoke casually in an alienated tone.
“Mr. Lawson, may | know where my daughter is?” Benjamin didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
He didn’t appear to believe that Jeremiah possessed significant capabilities.
He addressed Jeremiah as Mr. Lawson merely out of politeness.
Jeremiah snorted ruthlessly. “Mr. Benjamin Yates, are you kidding? Isn’t your daughter sitting next to you? Who do you want from me?”
Benjamin glanced at Yulissa with doting eyes.

In Jeremiah’s view, this scene was extremely ironic.
“I'm talking about Cassandra. Where is she?” Benjamin said bluntly.
“Mr. Yates, if your daughter is missing, go find her yourself. Why come here and ask me? I’m not a police officer, so | can’t help you.” Jeremiah leaned back, his eyes carrying a hint of sarcasm.
“My son saw you with her. Ask her to come out and see me,” Benjamin snapped.
It seemed as though Jeremiah chose to do it the hard way.
“Dad, | saw Cassandra with the mister opposite me at the gate of the school. He went to pick her up.” Yulissa whispered, but everyone heard it.
Hugo’s face darkened as he cursed the bunch of people before him silently. How dare they scandalize Cassandra in front of him?
“You dare question Boss? She owns the whole of Whitecrane Hall!’
you think “Well, old man, how dare you keep my daughter as your mistress? Who des you are? Know your place!” Hearing this, Miranda couldn’t sit still. She abruptly stood up and pointed at Hugo’s nose, cursing.
“Don't talk nonsense, young lady.” Hugo glanced at Yulissa and then Miranda, saying, “Mrs. Yates, you'd better put your fingers down. | have never seen a mother claim her daughter being kept as a mistress without any evidence. This is ridiculous. I’m older than your husband. Is it appropriate for you to say that?” Hugo said with a gloomy face.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“Who are you to scold me? I’m telling you, give me my daughter immediately, and let us take her away!” Miranda looked like a shrew at that moment.
Despite being elegantly dressed, she was rudely behaved.
“Mom, stop talking.” Jasper stopped Miranda.
Miranda didn’t know who Hugo was, but he did.
Hugo could be regarded as Faye’s assistant, and one could only get to Faye through Hugo. Besides, Hugo was also the nominal general manager of Whitecrane Hall.
Such a status was more noble than that of Benjamin's.
And now, his mother was pointing her finger at Hugo and cursing him.
“Mr. Gardner, my mother is quite straightforward. Please don’t take her words to heart. We just came to pick up my sister Cassandra. We didn’t mean anything else.”

Jasper didn’t care about Cassandra being kept as a mistress. Even if Hugo did keep Cassandra, the Yates family couldn't afford to take any action against him.
“Dr. Yates, I’ve seen you before.” Hugo greeted Jasper politely. “I’m confused. Why do you think the daughter of the Yates family is here?”
