Chapter 35
“Shut up! You have no right to say anything here!” Benjamin scolded Miranda.
‘Does she want to save Raymond or not?’ he thought.
Miranda was stubborn. Thus, she was so angry that she did not say anything.
She thought, “That brat is so ungrateful. She has this connection but she didn’t think of helping Ray and allowing Dr. Quirke to treat him as soon as possible.
“It seems that Mrs. Yates has a huge problem with me. Then, there’s nothing to talk about.” Hugo was indifferent as he continued, “Previously, for Ms. Cassandra Yates’ sake, we haven't announced to the public that you have been blacklisted. Since you're not bothered by it, then we should let everyone know.”
‘After all, you don’t want to be respected. You have hurt Boss so much. In the end, you still want Boss to heal you. What wishful thinking. Even others can notice that you're planning something,’ he mused to himself.
“Mr. Gardner, it's a trivial matter. Is this necessary?” Leonardo's gaze was cold.
“Mr. Yates, what's a trivial matter? When you came to accuse me of being a bad example, was it a trivial matter? I’m a man who is of your father’s age. Do you hear what you're saying?”
Then, he added, “The Yates family is so arrogant. Your position has merely been slightly raised this year but you're already looking down at others. | can’t even find words to describe you.”
Hugo simply did not like the Yates family. If it was not because Cassandra knew that they were her biological parents at the beginning of the year and secretly helped them, they would not have gotten where they had been now.
Just two months after Cassandra returned to the Yates residence, she became extremely disappointed with these people.
He wondered what kind of people they were.
After all, she hid everything about herself and secretly helped the Yates family.
Nevertheless, she received nothing in return in the end.
“Do you think that the Yates family’s current status is earned by your own effort? You're all ingrates. How dare you shout loudly in front of me?”
Then, he added, “Scarlett!”

Hugo called Scarlett.
“Mr. Gardner.”

“Announce to the public that the Yates family is blacklisted by Whitecrane Hall.” He wanted to see who would cooperate with the Yates family in the future. Then, he added, “Don’t forget to see them off.”
Moreover, he instructed Scarlett to tell the security guards to kick anyone from the Yates family out if she were to see them again.
“Mr. Gardner, it's all a misunderstanding. Please don’t do this. We can discuss it and find a solution together. Benjamin became slightly timid.
Indeed, Hugo was right. The Yates family only started to have good luck from the beginning of that year. Yates Group had a market value of 10 billion dollars and it has tens of billions of dollars now. Thus, they had enough confidence and could afford to be arrogant.
However, he wondered what Hugo was talking about.
He did not know much about Whitecrane Hall and how influential it was.
“Hugo, we spoke without thinking. Please don’t hold it against us. We're here today to seek medical treatment from Dr. Quirke for Ray.” Jasper hastened to amend the situation.
He was so frustrated now because he did not think of coming alone. Instead, he brought so many people with him. They were talking carelessly. If they were to offend Whitecrane Hall, no one would treat the Yates family with respect.
“Hugo, | apologize for the recklessness of my family. Please help us make ant appointment with Dr. Quirke. Ray really needs medical treatment from him. We can pay as much as he wants.” Yulissa also stood up and spoke. Meanwhile, Miranda looked at her with distress.
“My daughter is so sensible, she mused to herself.
“I-If you want to get revenge for Cassandra, just come after me. Don’t put my family in a difficult situation. | know Cassandra doesn't like me, but Ray is also her brother. She
can’t be so cruel.”
What Yulissa meant was the reason why Faye did not help was because of Cassandra. She was sowing discord and Faye was on her side, which was why Faye refused to treat Raymond. There was also a possibility that Hugo did not tell Faye about the matter.
“If you didn’t mention Cassandra, | would actually think that you’re begging me here
for the sake of your brother, Ms. Yates. But this is what you’re up to.”
Then, he added, “Ms. Cassandra Yates has never seen Dr. Quirke from the start. She also didn’t say anything to me. But you said a lot to me.”
After that, he continued, “Mr. Raymond Yates’ hands must be broken. But didn’t we sell Dr. Quirke’s medicine two days ago? What's the matter? Didn’t you buy any? You couldn’t even get a pill, yet you’re still pretending that you have strong sibling bonds.”
He thought, ‘Oh! This is so frustrating. Even at this time, she’s still slandering Boss.
After all, if one could not even get a pill out of the 100 pills that were being sold, it would mean that the person was not destined to have it.
Moreover, Faye gave them a lot of chances this time. They were unable to seize the opportunity, so there was nothing he could do.
As a matter of fact, Jasper rushed to place an order as soon as the time came. Somehow, it sold out after he clicked on the website.
Yulissa’s face turned pale. She thought, ‘Da mn you, old man! How dare you say this to me! Aren’t you afraid that my brothers will kill you?’

Jasper smiled awkwardly and said, “Dr. Quirke’s medicine is so popular that we can’t. even get any.
“Then, why were the 100 people previously able to get it? In the end, it’s just that you didn’t work hard enough.”
After that, Hugo added, “Scarlett, send them off!”
Hugo left without looking back.
Leonardo's face darkened. He had worked hard to earn everything that the Yates family had and Hugo had no right to say anything about it.
“Dad, let's go. We'll just find another way for Raymond's hands.”
He did not believe that no one else could cure Raymond except Faye.
On Monday, in Honors Class, One, Connor walked into the classroom. “We will have another test this Thursday and Friday. | hope you can prepare for it. There is not much
time left.”
There was less than a month left before the SAT.
It | was time for the people to test the fruits of three years of labor.

Yulissa felt that she could finally hold her head up high. After all, it was weird that she was always in trouble lately.
Her proudest achievement was her grades.
She wanted Cassandra to see the differences between them. Now that Cassandra had left the Yates residence, she should never come back again.
Then, Yulissa walked up to Cassandra, raised her chin slightly, and said softly, “Cassandra, the exam is coming soon. If there’s anything you don’t know, you can tell me. | will teach you everything.”
“Teach me? You're not even qualified.”
Cassandra’s words instantly caused commotion among their classmates. ‘Why is she so ungrateful?’ they wondered.
“How can you say that, Cassandra? I-
One chimed in, “Cassandra, you are an ingrate. Lisa’s result is ranked among the top five in the entire grade and is much better than you who are ranked last. She is being merciful and wants to teach you, but you still refuse her offer. You're really ungrateful!”
They thought she did not appreciate kindness.
“What's the matter? Should | be grateful and accept her mercy? If there’s nothing, don’t appear in front of me.”
Someone else said, “Cassandra, someone is willing to teach you. You should be grateful instead of showing your stupidity here!” A male student who was called Lawrence stood up for Yulissa and spoke.
“How do you know that her grades must be better than mine?”
“Teach me? Even the teachers are not qualified,’ Cassandra mused to herself.
“Cassandra, do you dare to bet with Lisa? If your exam result is worse than hers, you will apologize to her!”
Lawrence continued to stand up for Yulissa.
Deep inside, Yulissa felt it was ironic and slightly surprised. After all, she liked that he spoke exactly what was in her mind. Indeed, she wanted to step on Cassandra and let everyone know what kind of person. Cassandra was.

It was exactly what she wanted.
“Lawrence, don’t put Cassandra in such a difficult situation. | know she doesn’t like me. | just want her to improve before the SAT, and | don’t want to have any conflict with her. So don’t say that.”
Yulissa spoke hypocritically, which caused Cassandra's face to darken.
‘She’s still so good at stirring up trouble, she thought.
“Okay. How do you want to compete? What's the bet?”
The only thing that Cassandra was not afraid of was betting. It was because she had never lost.
“Oh, don't be like this, Cassandra. Lawrence was just joking. How could | bet with you?”
Nevertheless, she thought, ‘Quickly agree to it! I'll just refute it twice. Cassandra, I’m going to make you infamous!”
“What's the matter? Are you afraid I'll bully you?”
“Cassandra, don’t be ridiculous. It’s easy to see who is the one being bullied here. Yulissa is acknowledged as the top student in the entire school. What about you? The entire school thinks of you as an academic underachiever. Do you still want to compete with her? It’s funny.”
Lawrence spoke with disdain.
Although many people said before that they bullied Cassandra because Yulissa was pressing for it, Lawrence knew that he merely wanted to stand up for Yulissa.
‘Cassandra is trying to overshadow Lisa and steal the love and affection of their family. She deserves to die!’ he exclaimed inwardly.
“Let's play it by ear. We'll see.” Then, Cassandra turned to him and said, “But | want to make a new bet.”
“Okay!” Lawrence turned around and asked Yulissa, “Yulissa, what bet do you think is the best?”
“Lawrence, | really can’t-”
“Since Cassandra has accepted the challenge, what are you afraid of, Yulissa? Can’t you win against her?”
At this time, Cassandra could fully confirm that Yulissa was surrounded by stup id. people.

“Where did his confidence come from? Does he really like her that much?” she wondered.
“In that case, Cassandra, if | win, | hope you can drop the lawsuit against Leo and me. Moreover, come back home. We're all waiting for you.”
She thought. This is the only way for you to know that Dad, Mom, and our brothers treat me very well. It can provoke you to do more drastic things. Am | right?’
“Cassandra, look at Yulissa’s character. Even to this time, she still wants you to go home. You're really ungrateful.”
Lawrence was like a clown who emphasized every word Yulissa said.
It was not meant to hurt his self-esteem, but Yulissa did not like someone like him at all. In fact, she merely treated him as a backup and a simp.
“If | win, go back and tell the Yates family to stay away from me. You, meanwhile, will run ten laps on the playground at the back and shout ‘Yulissa is an idiot’ while running
Then, she added, “How about it? If you agree, our bet will officially start, and everyone will be the witness to it.”
Yulissa’s expression darkened and she looked aggrieved. Her eyes gradually reddened.
“Cassandra, don’t you go too far!”
“What is this condition?” she wondered.
Nevertheless, Yulissa thought it carefully. She thought it was something that she could agree to. After all, judging from Cassandra’s result, she would not be able to even earn one-fifth of Yulissa’s marks. Nevertheless, the former still wanted to compete against her. Thus, she immediately felt confident.
“You have to score higher than me in the exam, Cassandra. The bet will only become valid if you’re 60 points higher than my result.”
She was ranked in the top five of the entire grade and Cassandra needed to obtain 60 points higher than her. Thus, she thought it was impossible for an idiot like Cassandra to be able to do it.
