Unexpectedly, the old lady replied, "Cassie…Oh, I saw her once, last night. She was dressed up rather
beautifully. She said she was going to a party and would be back home late."
'A party?'
Hearing the news, Nick was surprised before feeling relieved to know where Cassie was. But after
pondering, he began to feel enraged about her behavior.
When he called her several times last night, she didn't answer him once. How could she stay out all
night?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he grew. He realized that he didn't want to care about her any
longer. Abruptly, he stood up and addressed the old lady, "Thank you. I'll be leaving, now."
Although the lady realized that the young man was upset by what he heard, she didn't know what she
did wrong. All she could do was sigh as she watched Nick leave.
When he reached the car and prepared to start the engine, he hesitated.
What if something happened to Cassie? What if she couldn't make her way back home?
The thought left him uneasy. Eventually, he decided to stick around for a while. If she didn't come back
soon, he would go to the police.
Sitting in his car, Nick pulled out his phone and tried to ring her again, but her phone seemed to be
unreachable.
Upset and frustrated, he kept waiting in the car.
As time passed, Nick's patience started running out until a familiar figure started walking towards him.
Cassie was back.
The joy on Nick's face didn't last long. Just as he was about to step out of the car, he saw that Cassie
was walking beside a tall man, talking, and laughing. She had breakfast in her hand as she looked up
at the man with a warm smile on her face.
"Thank you so much for taking me home."
Cassie smiled at Cora's brother, Jordan Li.
"It's my pleasure. You got drunk on Cora's birthday, so it's only right that I take you home. It's getting
late. I'll bring you to the hospital later. You'd better go back and get changed. I'll wait for you
downstairs." As he looked at Cassie's smiling face, he was in a daze.
He had met Cassie a long time ago. Once, when he went to the hospital to see his sister, Cassie was
there too. He had been already completely amazed by her beauty at first sight. However, he knew that
Cassie probably didn't even remember him from then. Otherwise, she wouldn't have simply said "hello"
when she saw him earlier in the morning. If it wasn't for Anna who insisted he take her home, Cassie
wouldn't have let him do so.
As it occurred to Cassie that she would have to go to work later, she rushed upstairs.
As she made her way to her room, Jordan Li stared at her retreating figure for a long while.
From the car, Nick watched the exchange and saw everything—Cassie's smile and the loving eyes of
the man toward her. Jealousy overcame him.
Not able to bear it any longer, he pushed the door open and got out of the car.
Step by step, Nick neared Jordan Li, who was still staring at where Cassie went, oblivious to Nick's
approach.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
"Who the hell are you?" Abruptly, Nick stopped right in front of him and demanded an answer.
Seeing a strange man look at him so sullenly, Jordan Li took a step back.
Sensing a strong vibe of hostility, he put himself on alert.
"Who… Who are you?" Jordan Li asked.
Because he didn't want to waste any time on him, he answered directly, "I'm Cassie's boyfriend. Who
the hell are you?"
Jordan Li's eyes were wide with shock at Nick's words.
When did she get a boyfriend? Why hadn't Cora said anything about it?
In his mind, he didn't believe that the man was Cassie's boyfriend. Feeling uneasy inside, he ended up
saying, "I'm Cassie's boyfriend. Who the hell are you?"
Irritated by his words, Nick was unable to contain his anger. With a shout of fury, Nick rushed forward a
few steps and threw Jordan Li a punch.
It all happened too fast—Jordan Li wasn't able to dodge the heavy punch. And before he could wipe
the dripping blood from his mouth, Nick's second punch came again.
Quickly blocking Jack's fist with one hand, he returned with a heavy hit with his free hand.
Getting a punch to his chest, Nick stepped back a little. But Nick couldn't calm down and shouted as he
rushed forward, wrestling with Jordan Li.
"Stop!" shouted Cassie.
At this time, she just went downstairs and saw the frightening scene.
It left her shocked and speechless.
Even as she shouted, the two men were still grappling with each other and could not listen to her at all.
Left with no choice, Cassie ran up to them to try and separate the two.
But without any brute strength, she couldn't make them budge. Because she was standing so close,
Jordan Li almost hit her by mistake. At that moment, Nick rushed over and blocked the punch with his
body.
"Cassie!"
Realizing that he almost hurt her himself, Jordan Li immediately stopped and cried out.
Growing more furious, Nick landed Jordan Li a strong kick.
The impact landed on Jordan Li's abdomen and he fell to the ground, covering his middle, rolling on the
ground in pain.
"Jordan!" she cried out in a hurry. Shaking off Nick's hands, she quickly rushed over to check Jordan
Li's condition, completely ignoring the former.
"Cassie…"
As he stared into his empty hands, frustration and sadness flashed across his face.
Afraid that Jordan Li would get severely injured by Nick's attacks, she hurried to check his wounds.
In truth, Jordan Li was delighted to see that Cassie cared about him and deliberately put on a painful
expression and struggled to call out her name with drops of sweat on his forehead. "Don't worry about
me. I'm fine…
Go to work now, you'll be late…"
"Never mind. Where does it hurt? Let me take a look." Cassie inspected him. If Jordan Li got seriously
injured, how could she ever explain it to Cora? The thought worried Cassie. What if Nick got caught by
the police? She couldn't let anything bad happen.
Secretly feeling pleased, he purposely said, "I'm alright. There's just some pain in my stomach…"
"Let me help you get into the car. I'll take you to the hospital," Cassie said as she struggled to help him
step into the car.
Feeling like too much of an outsider, Nick merely stood aside. He wanted to help her, but Cassie just
pushed him away.
