Chapter 4
“From this moment onward, |, Cas sandra, have nothing to do with the Yates family of Drieso,” Cas sandra stated loudly. Benjamin and Miranda’s faces were extremely gloomy as they fumed inwardly, ‘How dare she! This is absurd!’
“Wow, what a show!”
“Yeah. The biological daughter became an adopted daughter and severed ties with the family!”
“It's so funny!”
“Hmph! Do you think you can leave just because you want to? Dad and Mom gave you life. How can you ever repay them for that? Do you seriously think you can settle it with. just 12,000 dollars?” Jasper snorted coldly.
He was the pride of the Yates family, a highly accomplished young doctor who had received several awards.
However, behind his benevolent facade lay a sinister nature toward his own sister.
“Oh, you mean | owe them for giving birth to me? Yes, they gave birth to me, but they never really supported me, so | don’t really owe them that much. You don’t seriously. think these mere two months can be considered ‘raising me, right?” Cas sandra looked horrified as if the Yates family was a virus.
Every single one of them was evil.
The best way to punish evil people was to be more shameless than them.
Without giving them a chance to speak, Cas sandra swiftly took out an army knife and cut her own wrist.
In an instant, blood dripped from her wrist.
“Ah!” Yulissa and the others present screamed in fear.
However, Cas sandra wore a per verse, morbid look. Smiling bloodthirstily, she watched the blood trickle down her wrist. Jasper’s expression darkened. He never expected Cas sandra to embarrass him in public.
“I'm repaying what | owe with blood. | vow to sever all ties with the Yates family for the rest of my life, starting from the moment | step out of the Yates residence alive.”
After saying that, Cas sandra left resolutely.
There was nothing important to her in this home.
She came to the Yates residence alone with nothing but two sets of clothes. Now that she was leaving, she didn’t need to take anything with her.
The Yates family never bought clothes or shoes for her. In the past two months, Yulissa received small gifts every day, but none of those gifts were meant for Cas sandra.
She came with nothing, so she would also depart with nothing.
Cas sandra walked out with determination. Even her leaving silhouette portrayed a hint of stubbornness.
“There’s nothing worth watching at this party now. Let’s go.”
“Yeah, this is so boring. Even in dramas, those parents can treat two girls fairly when they can’t tell who their real daughter is.” “Dude, you are so right.”
“The imposter takes over successfully! This must be tomorrow’s headlines.”
“Ms. Yulissa Yates is truly exceptional. Anyone with the right mind would have chosen. her.”
“Oh, look, we have some of Yulissa’s admirers among us! Yulissa has quite the reputation for being affected, and | can’t believe these men cannot see through her facade.”
“Come on. That's what men like!”
On the side of the banquet hall, a man observed Cas sandra’s every action attentively, his gaze unfathomable.
He felt an overwhelming urge to rush out and protect her when he saw her cut her
wrist.
Nevertheless, he forcefully suppressed that urge.
It was time for Cas sandra to learn to grow up.
Even if the price was huge, she must grow up.
“Yannick, have someone protect her, take her to the hospital and arrange the best doctor,” he instructed.
Fr. 16 Feb
He was none other than Kenneth Zelinski, the formidable figure renowned in the capital, Drieso, was supposed to be the sole rightful heir of the Zelinski family. Yet, he found himself thrust into the underground fighting arena in the country of Atharia by his own father, left to fend for himself.
Years later, upon his return to Drieso, he swiftly sidelined his father within a month and sought ruthless revenge on those who had hurt him.
Though notorious for being cun ning and savage, Kenneth was undeniably the wealthiest man in Drieso and, quite possibly, the entire country and globe.
“Yes, Mr. Zelinski!”
Yannick nodded, turned around, and went out from the other door, following Cas sandra.
Meanwhile, Cas sandra had walked out of the Yates residence.
The excessive blood loss caused her to look a little pale.
She grabbed her phone and dialed a number she memorized. “Jeremiah, pick me up at the Yates residence.”
Cas sandra sat quietly on the stone block outside the mansion and waited for Jeremiah to come and get her.
Yannick, pretending like he didn’t know her, stopped his car in front of Cas sandra.
“Ms. Yates, do you need a ride?” he asked.
“No, thank you,” Cas sandra refused coldly.
At that moment, she didn’t trust anyone, especially someone outside the Yates residence.
‘Hah. The Yates family must be up to no good again, she mused.
In her past life, she barely saw Kenneth, let alone Yannick, who was always with Kenneth. Hence, it was understandable that she did not recognize Yannick.
Yannick didn’t know what to do. If Cas sandra refused to get in the car, he wouldn't be able to complete the task assigned by Kenneth.
A few minutes later, a flashy pink Ferrari stopped in front of Cas sandra.
Seeing this, Cas sandra was speechless.
‘I'd rather die of excessive blood loss than get in this car, she thought.

“What happened, Elaine? Are you trying to take your own life by cutting your wrist?”
The man who arrived was Jeremiah Lawson. Cas sandra found him among the lifeless. corpses and saved his life back then. Ten years ago, a human experimentation took place in Rootland Village, where Cas sandra lived. Children were taken away and subjected to inhumane experiments. After they died, their bodies were thrown into large pits in the mountains to be eaten by wild animals.
Jeremiah was one of the kids. He was too weak, passing out after receiving two injections of experimental reagents.
After he was thrown into the pile of dead bodies, Cas sandra happened to walk past the pit and was startled to see the horrifying sight.
Just as she was going to run away, Jeremiah’s fingers moved.
Cas sandra had always been fearless since she was a child.
When she noticed Jeremiah’s fingers moving, she dragged him out of the pile of dead bodies and carried him home.
After a period of treatment, the toxins in Jeremiah’s body were cleared. He finally regained consciousness following two weeks of recuperation.
Upon waking up, he didn’t remember much about his troubled past and didn’t want to remember, too. Hence, he spent the next ten years following Cas sandra around.
“Can you please not assume the worst? Hurry up and take me to the hospital.” Cas sandra’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed. Though she didn’t get mad, she exuded an intimidating aura.
Jeremiah pouted, shrugged his shoulders, and helped Cas sandra into the car.
“You shouldn't have called me until you died so that | can collect your body.” Jeremiah was filled with fury at the thought that Cas sandra did not regard him as her family member.
Two months ago, she abandoned everything for her so-called family.
Jeremiah pondered, ‘S6 what’s going on now? Did she only come to realize the truth. after getting hurt?”
“You are so noisy!” Cas sandra felt a headache and wanted him to shut up.
Jeremiah was at a loss for words.
‘So | can’t even joke about her mistake now?’ he thought.
“Don’t worry. You won’t die even if you bleed more than this.” Jeremiah’s way of reassuring her was annoying.
Cas sandra pondered, “What does he mean by | won't die?”
“I know,” she said.
Cas sandra refused to communicate with Jeremiah, so she leaned back and closed her eyes.
“By the way, get someone to deliver 20,000 dollars in cash to the Yates family later,” she added.
Cas sandra believed an extra 8,000 dollars should shut them up.
“Why?” he asked.
“To pay for the food and room they provided for me in the past two months. I’m cutting ties with them,” Cas sandra replied with no emotions.
Without expectation of or hope for kinship, she wouldn’t feel pain anymore.
She was killed once by them, and she wouldn’t let it happen again.
“Have you thought it through?” Jeremiah asked as he stopped at the red light and turned to her.
“Do you want me to go back to the Yates family?” she asked.
She thought, “That’s impossible, right? When | left, he kept begging me not to leave. Is he changing his mind now?”
Jeremiah immediately said, “Of course not. The Yates family is a despicable bunch.”
They were all a bunch of s cu m who couldn't distinguish between what was real and what was fake.
In the past two months, he had been watching Cas sandra’s life. Sometimes, he desperately wanted to rush into the Yates residence and take her away!
Nevertheless, Cas sandra had made it clear that she would sever ties with anyone who dared to disturb her.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Thus, Jeremiah tried his best to suppress his anger.
Luckily, Cas sandra had eventually come around.
