Chapter 194 Kenneth suddenly said in a deep voice respectfully, âMr. Yates, Kayden is my friend. It doesnât matter who paid. Cass and I just suddenly wanted to eat there. Nothing special.â
To Kenneth, as long as it was for Cassandra, no matter how much money it cost, it was worth it.
However, he couldnât say anything like this at this moment.
He and Cassandra were just friends. If he directly said this now, he would be kicked out of th house by Maximilian immediately.
Maximilian was satisfied with what Kenneth just said.
Cassandra explained casually, âI wanted to go to Mr. Yatesâs restaurant but I didnât know how to get there so I asked Mr. Zelinski to take me there.â
After hearing this, Maximilian looked at Kayden in a less friendly way.
Maximilian said. âWhy is your store located in a place so far away? Cassie didnât even know how to get there. Give that restaurant to Cassie as an apology. Find somewhere else to open another one. I will pay for it.â
Kayden was stunned.
He thought. Am I adopted?â
Cassandra was stunned too.
But Yasmine thought this idea was pretty good and applauded. âI think it is a good idea. Since Cassie likes it. Kayden, give it to her so she can eat there whenever she likes. Or, ask the chef to cook for her at her place Yasmine thought Maximilianâs idea was exactly what she wanted.
However, she seemed to have forgotten that the one who had to sacrifice was her son.
Kayden complained. âI must have been adopted. Otherwise, you wouldnât have ganged up to fool me.â
Maximilian didnât care about what Kayden said. He knew Kayden was not good at anything but was an expert gastronome and this restaurant was just not a big deal for him.
Yasmine said, âYes, you were a dirty little beggar. I found you in a trash can outside the Yates residence with your father. You looked presentable after a shower so we adopted you.â
Kayden said. âI have heard this story many times, Mrs. Yates. I must remind you that there were no trash cans outside the Yates residence.
He thought. Who dares to put a trash can there?
âIf you want to make up a story, find a good one. This is really absurd.â
Chapter 194 Yasmine froze for a moment and said, âYou talk too much. I said you were adopted, so you were adopted. Hurry up and give that restaurant to Cassandra.â
Cassandra was a little bit surprised hearing them discussing this matter so seriously. She said, âWell, I donât need it. I will only eat there occasionally. I have no interest in managing a restaurant.â
It was Cassandraâs way of refusing them but the Yates family didnât care about it at all.
Except for Kayden, no one seemed to have heard what she just said.
Maximilian said enthusiastically, âCassie, tell me whenever you want something. I will give you anything as long as you...â
Jessica smiled and said. âThe Yates family lacks nothing but a family reunion. When Darren and Leanna will be back is still unknown. But the rest of us should see each other more often. So, Cassie, do you understand?â
Of course, Cassandra understood it.
Cassandra said, âApart from visiting Maximilian, Iâm here for one more thing today. I have something to tell you.â She took a deep breath and exhaled deeply. As soon as she said this, Kenneth knew what she meant.
She continued. âI went to live with Benjamin at the age of 18. Those two months were the darkest days of my life. Blossom adopted me and I grew up with her, spoiled. After I lived with my so- called biological parents, what I experienced was extremely desperate.
âAlthough your appearance makes me know that I can be happy after I got rid of Benjamin. But it does not mean that I can accept you as my family. I donât know why the DNA test shows that Benjamin and me are father and daughter but I do know the reason that Maximilian told me is far- fetched. I canât convince myself.
âTo put it harshly, no matter how nice you are to me, you canât change the fact that my parents abandoned me. No matter what you do, it wonât change.
âSo, sorry, I canât accept you guys as my family. I canât do it. Thank you for your kindness. I hope we can just stay what we used to be.â
Cassandra bowed low to the Yates family, showing her respect for them.
Her words were more than shocking to them What they didnât expect was that Cassandra not only refused to live with them but also had no intention of treating them as her family.
Yasmine was a little anxious. She explained excitedly, âCassie, itâs not like that. Your parents asked us to pick you up but we were late. They must have had no choice, It is our fault that for 18 years. We will make it up to you in the next, letâs say, 80 years.â
you suffered Just when they thought the thing that had been torturing Maximilian for 18 years was about to come to an end, cold water was put on their hope. How could she not be anxious about it?
Cassandra said, âYou all said that they had no choice. Why? Why tamper with the DNA data of 2/3 64%
Chapter 194 Benjamin and me? Was it really for me or out of selfishness?â
Cassandra knew what she said was a bit harsh. But the fact was the fact. It was not something that could vanish if they just didnât talk about it.
Seeing that the atmosphere soured, Kayden wanted to stop Cassandra. She said, âCassie, letâs talk about it in private, not today.â
Maximilian was trembling uncontrollably. His pupils were gradually dilated. It seemed that he was about to faint. But he managed to hang in there. âCassie, are you blaming me?â
After saying that, he fainted.
The room was si in chaos. Cassandra didnât expect this either.
Kaydenâs eyes turned red instantly. But he calmed down and didnât shout at Cassandra.
âSend for the doctor!â
âSend for the doctor!â
Kayden carried Maximilian in his arms and went upstairs. Everyone else followed behind him, leaving Kenneth and Cassandra alone in the huge living room.
Kenneth walked to Cassandra and said softly, âDonât you want to check on him?â
Cassandra looked up at the second floor with a little bit sullen look. âNo. I guess they probably want to kill me now.â
Kenneth said, âNo, they wonât. I know you are worried. Letâs go upstairs. We can leave after youâre sure that Grandpa is fine.â
Cassandra was absentâminded. She was very worried but she didnât want to admit it.
The doctor came soon. After a brief examination, he said angrily, âDidnât I tell you that you must keep your grandfather happy and in a stable mood? Why did he pass out because of emotional turmoil? Arenât you afraid that he will have a stroke?â
Yasmine felt her legs weak and she almost collapsed on the floor.
