Chapter 465 Cassandra looked at Omar, feigning sorrow. âCassidyâs ill. She used to support and respect you a lot. Since you donât want to save her, I guess thereâs nothing I can do.â
Omar was lost for words.
âPlaying the victim? What a nice trick!
âHowever, since it was Cassidy, Iâd like to offer a hand.â
So he asked, âTell me about her.â
He didnât want Cassandra to lose any of her true friends.
Cassandra shared Omar Cassidyâs situation, Omar was also shocked at the severity.
âDo you need me to help?â
âItâs a bit tricky but not too difficult. Weâre just short of a few herbs...â Cassandraâs intentions were abundantly clear.
Omar got the point.
âWhat do you need?â Omar resigned himself to his fate, figuring that offering willingly was a far better option than being outright robbed.
Cassandra listed five names. Giving away each one of them would make Omarâs heart bleed.
He thought, âThe cunning girl deliberately chose the rarest ones!
âCan she be even more âconsiderateâ?â
H âWait here,â Omar said and reluctantly went to his pharmacy and cut a bit of each herb Cassandra requested, his heart bleeding.
While doing this, he pondered, âHopefully, it would be enough.â
Soon, Omar returned with the herbs, âTake these and go back quickly.â
è¯ âThereâs no rush. Cassidy just stopped her previous medication today. She needs to stop for three days before we can start the new treatment. Iâll go back tomorrow.â Cassandra yawned after insisting on staying here.
âIâll go see Grandma and then head to bed,â she added, outlining her plans before promptly heading out with Kenneth, making sure to secure the herbs.
Since it all went surprisingly smoothly, with the rare herbs in hand, she adjusted her plan and decided to lighten 1/4 Chapter 465 Omarâs collection only âa bitâ that night.
Omar watched Cassandraâs departing figure, puzzled, âIs she really going to stay?â
Later that night, Omar was asleep when Cassandra suddenly got up, startling Kenneth.
He thought, âDidnât we get the herbs already? Then we can just leave tomorrow. What sheâs planning now?â
âKenneth, grab the stuff. Weâre heading home tonight,â Cassandra whispered as if about to commit theft.
âHuh? Why the rush?â Kenneth was a little confused.
âPerfect timing for a getaway.â She knew too well that Omar was a heavy sleeper, now was their best chance to raid his treasure trove.
Kenneth was stunned, âWhat, a getaway?
âIs she planning to grab those herbs right now?â
Without a second thought, Kenneth sent a message to Yannick. And soon three people were mobilized, entering Omarâs house.
Cassandra and Kenneth quietly went downstairs and sneaked into Omarâs pharmacy.
Familiar with the layout, Cassandra opened the treasure cabinet, filled with Omarâs prized herbs, some exclusive to his collection.
With three extra pairs of hands, they managed to take a significant amount.
As they left, Cassandra told Ethan, âYouâre good with psychological support. If the Omar faints from shock tomorrow, call me!â
Then, Kenneth drove them away.
The next day, Omar found the silence in the house unsettling. And he noticed that the door of Cassandraâs room was open.
He immediately knew that something was amiss.
He could barely contain his unease. âMy herbs! My treasure!!
Rushing to his pharmacy, the sight nearly made him faint, but Ethan caught him in time.
211 Chapter 465 Omar asked in shock, âWho are you? Why are you here?â
âIâm here to look after you, as ordered by Mr. Zelinski,â Ethan said this as if Kenneth was the culprit.
âMr. Zelinski? Is he one of Kennethâs men?â
The mention of Kenneth irritated Omar even more.
âThis Mr. Zelinski is literally a bandit! All my treasures are gone now. It would be better to kill me!â
âGo to ask your Mr. Zelinski to give my herbs back!â Omar was beyond furious.
He knew that Cassandra would definitely take the herbs, but he didnât expect that she would rob him of a significant portion of his collection.
â40%, Cassandra! Did you think youâre entitled to a share of my stock? Thatâs too much!â
âMr. Mccall, calm down. Whatever Mr. Zelinski took is for a good reason. After all, heâs sort of your sonâinâlaw,â Ethan tried to soothe him, but to no avail.
âHumph, a good reason? Itâs for Cassandra! He knows nothing about traditional medicine. Cassandra is the one who covets my collection.â
He mused, âWhat Mr. Zelinski? Iâm not a fool. It must be Cassandra who planned all this. No one except her has the ability to pick those herbs that are mutually complementary!
âNo, I canât just sit idly by. I need to implement better security measures specifically targeted at Cassandra!â
Back at Pinehart Mansion, Cassandra was thrilled.
It was almost dawn. Having secured her coveted herbs, Cassandra, who was too excited to sleep, dived into her lad.
After categorizing and experimenting with them, she emerged, visibly pleased.
âHappy?â Kenneth asked.
âYeah, these are all mine now. Iâd be crazy not to be happy.â She had been eyeing these for so long, and now that they were finally hers, she couldnât help but revel in the joy.
âAs long as youâre happy.â Kennethâs lips curled into a sly smile, his eyes gleaming with mischief, hinting, âNow that the wife is happy, shouldnât the husband get a little happiness too?â
Cassandra was caught off guard.
âIâm off to prepare medicine for Cassidy. I donât have that time. You go ahead and enjoy yourself,â she said before turning to leave. But she wasnât fast enough to escape Kenneth, who caught her in his grasp.
Chapter 465 Cassandra found herself cradling in Kennethâs arms, and the latter said, âI know how quickly you work with your medicines.
Cassidy needs to stop her medication for three days, and you need to check on her again in one day. Thereâs still plenty of time.
Iâve been your accomplice in crime, isnât it only fair to reward your husband?â
Kenneth grinned cunningly. He was running out of time, with only two days left before his intense training session began, which he would also attend. Soon, heâd have to live like a monk.
Failing to seize this moment would be a disservice to himself.
After a momentâs thought, Cassandra, wrapping her arms around his neck, gave him a quick peck on the lips. âIs this enough?â
âFar from enough.â He would not be satisfied by a kiss.
Kenneth carried Cassandra back to the bedroom. The latterâs eyes were wide open out of embarrassment.
âDonât be naughty. Itâs still daytime. Not now.â
Even with the curtains drawn, the sunlight could seep through. Thinking of what would happen next, she blushed as red as a rose.
Kennethâs bold moves and unwavering gaze spoke of a desire.
