Chapter 347 The president had shed his daytime authority and was lounging in his chair, leaning against a cushion, clearly needing some downtime.
âWhatâs going on?â he you two suddenly show up Wondered out loud. âHow did today?â âDid they really have such sharp instincts?â he thought.

âDonât forget Mr. Walkerâs information security department. Protecting the president is par for the course, isnât it?â Kenneth replied casually, as they sat across from the president.
âThatâs not the point,â the president pressed. âThe real question is, whatâs your connection with Cassandra?â
He could sense they were protecting Cassandra and noticed too that Queen Leanna didnât pursue the matter further. She hadnât uttered a single impolite word. Instead, she seemed hurt.
Moreover, the things Cassandra had said were cryptic to him. They felt like a threat to Darren, and he couldnât quite grasp their meaning.
Thinking of Cassandra made Kennethâs lips curl into a slight smirk. âCassandra is my girlfriend and future wife.â
The president looked at him in disbelief with his eyes wide open. âWhat did you say?!â
âIs there a problem?â Kenneth asked The president didnât know what to say, so he turned to Daniel, âAnd why are you involved?â
âCassieâs one of National Security Bureauâs people, from the information security department,â Daniel explained. âTechnically, she shouldnât be doing this job. If it ever comes out, people could question her loyalty to the country.â
The presidentâs eyes bulged even wider.
âDid I catch your meaning right?â the president asked, uncertainty lacing his words, âCassandra... sheâs/from National Security Bureau?â
âYep, sheâs in charge of the information security department. If you havenât heard of her name, Mr. President, then her hacker alias should ring a bell...â Daniel drew out his words, teasing a reveal. âSheâs the legendary Emery.â

Chapter 347 The president stood up in surprise, wondering, âWho is this prodigy? The principal of Juset University Henry Wilson said she was Number One in the SAT, and sheâs also known by some as Elaine. The most important thing is that she has achieved. quite a lot.
Yet she is only 18 years old!â
âSo why didnât you...â Before the president could finish his question, Daniel seemed to grasp his point, saying, âPeople from the information security department often wear different hats in society. But to prevent their true identities from being blown. later, National Security Bureauâs policy is clear: No excessive contact with any nationâs leaders or top brass... which is why I intervened.â
The president wasnât buying it. âWith me around today, who would dare question her loyalty?â
Something else clicked in his mind. âDo you know about Cassandraâs background?â
âYeah.
âAnd another thing, why does Cassandra look so much like Queen Leanna?â
He suspected they were related, but he also knew that posing the question might be pointless.
âItâs a complicated matter, Mr. President, and not one for concern 1. w. When the time comes, Iâll bring Cassandra to you and explain everything,â Kenneth said, avoiding a direct answer.
The president wasnât bothered. Kenneth was someone he trusted. If Kenneth suggested it was complicated, then it could wait.
After they left, riding in Kennethâs car, Daniel asked with genuine curiosity, âWhat exactly is Cassieâs connection to that queen?â
âYou want to know?â Kenneth asked.
Daniel nodded, but Kenneth said, âYou can ask her about it yourself. I wonât tell you.â
Daniel was speechless. âThen why did you even ask?â he complained in his mind.
When Cassandra came back to Pinehart Mansion, she didnât look well.
Suddenly she received a phone call from Omar, his voice a furious torrent on the other end. âDid Darren and his crappy family come looking for you?!â

Cassandra instinctively pulled the phone away from her ear, replying, âYeah, they came to my school.â
âThose scumbags. They never keep their word. I shouldâve dealt with them days. ago, given their legs a taste of my âmedicineâ so theyâd stop running around!â
Cassandra was silent for a moment and then said, âI can handle it. If I canât deal with this, thereâs no point in trying to do anything else.â
even âFine. If they keep messing around, Iâll give you more medications to lay on them,â Omar said.
âBut, you know, I think the stuff in your shabby shack is really precious...â Cassandra hesitated.
âDonât get any ideas about my stuff! And for your information, itâs not a âshabby shackâ! Have you ever seen a seaside villa referred to as a shabby shack? With its back against the mountains, facing the sea, nestled among natureâitâs paradise on Earth!
How did it become a âshabby shackâ in your mouth?â Omar shouted.
Hearing Omarâs angry words, Cassandra hung up the phone and said nothing more.
She waited at home for Kennethâs return, drifting close to sleep on the couch before Kenneth finally arrived. He approached and held her in his arms, asking, âWhy didnât you go sleep in the bedroom?â
âI was a bit worried. You hadnât come back yet.â
âI had to drop Mr. Walker back at the military residential compound. Itâs a bit of a distance, so it took me longer to get back.â
âOkay, Iâm going to sleep.â
Kenneth, in a silent understanding, didnât ask about her day. If Cassandra didnât want to talk about it, then it didnât need to be discussed.
The next day, the fiveâstar luxury hotel where Queen Leanna and her family were staying was heavily guarded by soldiers ensuring their safety.
âLeanna is my daughterâinâlaw. Would you please let them know the Yates family is here to see them?â Maximilian and his family were being stopped at the hotel entrance.
Inside were foreign dignitaries. There was no room for carelessness.

Î âIâm sorry, but we really canât let you in,â the patrolling soldiers insisted, regardless of how the Yates family pleaded.
Kayden, annoyed, looked toward his grandfather, saying, âGrandpa, why even come here? To see how well they are doing? Or to see just how good their life is after they ditched Cassandra?â
Every time Kayden thought of that happy family of three, he felt it was so unfair to Cassandra.
It was outrageous how those people lived it up abroad. When they were searching. for Faye, they were able to target Hugo immediately and take him away, yet they never made their daughter a priority. Throughout the years, Maximilian and his familyâs search for Cassandra was like finding a needle in a haystack. They hadnât even seen Cassandraâs face when she was a child, and even the photos they had were blurry. Leanna gave Maximilian the blurry photo only for him to pinpoint Cassandraâs location perfectly.
It was difficult, but at least they had a photo and someone they could seek help. from.
âHow can you speak like that? Theyâre your uncle and aunt, not strangers. Theyâve been missing for nearly 20 years. Shouldnât they explain themselves to me?â Maximilian retorted.
âAnd what about an explanation to Cassandra?â Kayden didnât want to stay any longer. Just as he was leaving, someone called out to him. âKayden, you didnât greet me last time we met. Are you going to ignore me this time too?â
It was Darren and his family who had just come out. Leanna asked the patrolling soldiers to step back. Theyâd handle things themselves here.
âSorry, if itâs all the same to you, Iâd rather ignore you,â Kayden said, thinking their worries about Darren and Leanna in the past 20 years were meaningless.
