Chapter 51
Meanwhile, in the classroom on Monday, everyone was gossiping fervently about it. After all, they had seen what happened online yesterday.
However, they did not expect Yulissa to be such a person behind the scenes. “Did you read yesterday's tweet? | was really shocked. | didn’t expect Yulissa to be such a person.”
“Yes, I’ve seen it. My worldview is almost shattered to pieces. | didn’t expect Yulissa to be the adopted daughter. Before this, she had always claimed herself to be the biological child and Cassandra was the adopted one. The plot twist is super incredible.”
“It was only exposed at her 18th birthday celebration, but at that time, only those who attended the event knew. Nevertheless, the Yates family couldn’t resist their fondness for her!”
“Don’t you
find it terrifying that given her status, how could Cassandra bully her at home? She even came crying to us. We then bullied Cassandra, causing us to have a criminal record.”
It was better not to mention that. Once it was brought up, many people became uneasy
or restless.
Yulissa, who was standing by the door, also heard their discussion.
Her face was pale and filled with grievances, as if she were a victim.
Noticing her entering the room, everyone dispersed one after another.
At first, Yulissa didn’t intend to come to school today, but last week’s test results were to be announced that day. She wanted to use her capability to shut everyone up.
Her bet with Cassandra was not over yet. This time, she wanted to add another bet before the results were announced. With that in mind, she went up to Cassandra and addressed her in a low voice, “Cassandra.”
Yulissa then added, “Cassandra, the test results will be out soon. | wonder if you still remember our bet.” “What? Are you in a hurry to die?”
Yulissa’s expression was terribly unpleasant. Cassandra was indeed arrogant and

conceited.

‘How can a country bumpkin do well in the exams? Such wishful thinking! Yulissa mocked inwardly.
“What happened online has already occurred, Cassandra., | hope that after the test results are out and | win our bet, you can help me clear things up.”
Yesterday, Benjamin and Leonardo didn’t return home. Even so, Frederick made a phone call to her, while her other siblings were at home. Although some people tried to comfort her, Yulissa still felt a sense of estrangement between her and them.
That morning, her classmates’ gaze almost shattered her psychological defense.
She couldn't bear seeing such gazes.
‘I'm clearly the one who’s being fawned upon by others. How could they do this to me?’ “Isn't it the truth? What do you want to clarify about?”
Cassandra wondered if Yulissa was living in her own world.
She felt as if Yulissa was a frog in the well, assuming that she was the center of the universe and that everything revolved around her.
“How about this? If | win, in addition to the original agreement, you will include a clarification stating that the person in the video isn't me. Dad’s company has suffered a severe blow. Is that what you want to see?”
It was indeed what Cassandra intended to see.
“If | don’t intend to see you disappearing slowly, should | watch you guys thrive instead?”
“Cassandra, how did you become like this?” Yulissa seemed distressed and concerned. Was this kind of provocation entertaining to her?.
“Yulissa, there’s no need to pretend like this in front of me. I’m not one of your blind brothers who would fall for your act.” Cassandra had never seen someone so shameless like her.
“Cassandra, are you afraid that you will lose to me?”
‘Cassandra seems reluctant to agree. Could it be she’s afraid?*
At the thought of such a possibility, Yulissa became even more confident. 2/5
“Then I'll let you put your mind at ease. If | lose, I'll do as you said. But if | win, I'll add another condition too. I’m going to publicly disclose on the Internet what kind of person you are, and what you've done to me in the Yates family!”
Since Yulissa wanted to play games with her, Cassandra decided to raise the stakes instead.
However, only Cassandra knew that the Yates family were all blockheads. It was impossible to knock some sense into them and make them feel regretful through this
matter.
After letting them know of the truth, she would shatter their pride bit by bit, just like how they had landed punch after punch on her body in her past life.
If it was merely death, that would be letting them off too easily, as death was a kind of mercy they did not deserve at all. They could only be tormented to death in remorse.
Yulissa was stunned. She didn’t expect Cassandra to be so cruel and harbor such malice
here.
‘She’s simply too vicious!‘ Yulissa cursed inwardly.
However, she was confident that she could make it to the top five of the whole grade. In contrast, with Cassandra’s terrible grades, even with a lot of effort, she wouldn't be able to catch up to Yulissa.
“Sure. | hope you can keep your word!”
After they came to an agreement, all they had to do now was wait for the results to come out.
During lunch break, Raymond came over to look for Cassandra.
This was because he had found out that he couldn’t locate where Cassandra lived. Even by using his connections, Raymond still couldn’t find Cassandra’s address. Thus, he had no choice but to come to school to look for her.
“Cassandra, stop right there!” When finally he spotted her, he shouted out loudly to her.
However, Cassandra ignored him and continued walking ahead. Since Hugo had brought her lunch, she had to collect it at the school gate.
Raymond quickened his pace and walked in front of Cassandra, extending his left arm to block her path.

Her gaze turned cold as she said. “Raymond, you can keep blocking if you don’t want this arm anymore.” 0
“Cassandra, are you even human? You auctioned off the medicine, knowing full well that my hand was injured. How despicable can you be? You care for nothing but money, don’t you?*
Cassandra was unexpectedly scolded by him. After that, she retorted to him faintly. It turned out that it was about the Restorative Pill.
“Raymond, if you have a mental problem, go get it treated. Which psychiatric hospital let you out? The medicine is mine, and | can handle it however | want. It’s none of your
business!*
She then added, “Besides, it was a public auction. Did | stop the Yates family from bidding for it? You could've bid for the medicine. Don’t you know the rules of an auction? The highest bidder gets the item. The Yates family has a net worth of around 20 billion dollars, can’t they even spare 1.76 billion dollars to buy the medicine for you? Seems that you're not that significant in the Yates family!”
Raymond's expression darkened. This was also the most embarrassing point in his heart. He knew that Cassandra had the freedom to auction off the medicine.
However, he didn’t expect that his own parents and brothers did not purchase the
medicine.
They knew clearly that he needed it, and how devastating it was for him to have his hand crippled. And yet, they did nothing! Yulissa had told him that Cassandra had deliberately taken out the medicine just to provoke him.
He believed her words, so he could only shift the resentment in his heart toward his parents onto Cassandra instead.
“Besides, don’t try to guilt-trip me with your ridiculous sense of family relationship. I’m not part of the Yates family, and | have no connections to them at all. Whatever debts | owed the Yates family, I’ve repaid them. If you keep provoking me, don’t blame me for being rude to you!”
Raymond's temper flared up as well.
“I'd like to see what you plan to do. You evil brat! You had the medicine, but you didn’t take it out, and you knew a miracle doctor, but didn’t plan to introduce me. You must enjoy seeing me like this!”
“Of course, but that’s still not enough. After all, | saved your life. Otherwise, do you 4/5

think you’d still be alive to make a fuss in front of me?” Cassandra suddenly flashed a wicked smile. “Ah, you don’t know, do you? Actually, the ambulance was quite timely to get you to the hospital. As long as your mother agreed, the specialist doctor could’ve you won't be cured you in the beginning. The worst case scenario might've been that able to do boxing again, but you can still enjoy racing.”

He was She continued, “As a result, your mother insisted on waiting for Jace to save you. truly late indeed. Your arm missed the optimal treatment time and eventually became crippled now. So tell me, should you feel pitiful, or should you thank your mother and Jace for their confidence?”
