Chapter 5: Chapter 5

Chapter 5 In the Yates residence, several people were sitting in the living room, encircling Yulissa with concern..

This was because Yulissa had cried once more.

“It’s all my fault. I-If I had moved out earlier, Cas sandra wouldn’t have done this. I blame myself. But I just can’t bear to part from my parents and brothers. Why is Cas sandra so mad at me?” Yulissa cried sorrowfully.

She hadn’t expected Cas sandra to be so resolute.

‘But Cas sandra, don’t think you can gain the favor of our parents and brothers this way! They only love me! You are simply making a fool of yourself!’ she silently mocked.

“Lisa, don’t cry. It pains me to see you in tears,” Miranda said, her face filled with distress.

‘Lisa is so understanding. If only she were my biological daughter! That darn Cas sandra is a total ingrate! I’ve had it with her!”

she thought.

“Lisa, you are our sister. Do not say anything about moving out again. Cas sandra was just making a fuss to attract attention.

Leonardo comforted her, his heart aching at the sight of Yulissa’s crying face.

At the same time, he was utterly displeased with Cas sandra’s behavior tonight.

‘How dare she, a sister who has been away for 18 years... No, she is not our sister. How dare she try to get our attention? She even made Lisa cry. That girl seriously deserves to be taught a lesson! Once she returns, I must lock her up for a week and make her change her temper. She’s really going too far! Completely ill-mannered!’ he pondered.

“That’s right, Lisa. Don’t worry. Someone like her will come back in no time, for sure. She won’t leave our family,” Yohannes suddenly said, reassuring her.

Aa a teenage musician and accomplished violinist, Yohannes had obtained numerous awards. At present, he was on a world tour and gearing up for the Camille International Music Competition.

Only after he became the winner of this competition could his abilities be recognized by the world.

Yohannes wholly believed that the Yates family had provided Cas sandra with a good life, and she was only causing a commotion now to seek their attention after witnessing the affection they had for Yulissa.

15 Chapter 5 He was confident that Cas sandra would return to apologize after they had ignored her for two days.

“Will Cas sandra really come back? Leo, are you lying to me?” Yulissa looked at Leonardo expectantly.

Her gaze almost melted Leonardo’s heart.

‘Lisa is such an amazing little sister. Cas sandra seriously doesn’t know her place. If she could show the same love to Lisa as we do, we would be okay with accepting her as our sister. But she is such an ingrate, desiring the love that doesn’t belong to her, he mused.

Meanwhile, Yulissa snickered in her heart, ‘Come back? It’s best if she never comes back at all. Only I, Yulissa Yates, deserve to be the daughter of the Yates family.

“She will come back. When she does, we will make her apologize to you,” Jasper consoled Yulissa softly.

He always had plenty of patience with this baby sister of his.

Hearing that, Yulissa smiled through tears and nodded cutely.

“I’m glad she’ll come back,” she said.

Not long after, Robert Zahn, the butler, came in to report.

“Mr. and Mrs. Yates, there’s a man outside who claims to have been sent by Ms. Cas sandra Yates...” he trailed off, adding “to deliver money” me ntally.

Robert felt that the Yates family was being too harsh toward Cas sandra.

They were too ruthless toward their own flesh and blood. He used to think that the Yates brothers were all extraordinary and outstanding individuals, so it was a shock for him to find out how cruel they could be toward a girl.

Benjamin’s face fell. He thought, ‘What prank is this brat pulling now?”

“Let him in,” Benjamin said.

Just in time. I’ll have this done throwing her tan inform Cas sandra to get her as s back home after she’s “Yes, Mr. Yates, replied Robert.

Soon, someone came in.

contemplated.

The visitor was an exceedingly refined man dressed in a tuxedo akin to a dapper butler’s attire, which made him look noble. His facial features were also very well-

2/5 Chapter 51 15 FCD M defined; undoubtedly, he was a handsome lad.

“Mr. and Mrs. Yates, I have been entrusted by Ms. Cas sandra Yates to deliver the two- month accommodation and food expenses that she mentioned at the party. It’s a total of 12,000 dollars in cash. Additionally, as a gesture of gratitude to your family for taking care of her during these two months, she is offering you a gift of 8,000 dollars.”

The visitor then performed a formal and courteous bow, adhering to the etiquette of a refined gentleman.

Benjamin was annoyed by the man’s businesslike tone.

“Nonsense! She’s our daughter. How dare she talk about cutting ties with us? Tell her to get her as s back here!” Benjamin roared, his face contorted with anger as he glanced at the 20,000 dollars in cash held by the visitor. He perceived that as a blatant insult.

The man maintained a polite smile. “As far as I know, your family has not admitted Ms. Cas sandra Yates’ identity, so how can she be considered your daughter?”

He continued, “According to her, during her two-month stay in the Yates residence, you and Mrs. Yates never gave her a single cent of allowance, so she didn’t have any additional expenses. Most of her meals consisted of leftovers from the help, and she was never served at the main dining table. That means the quality of food she had here wasn’t great. As for accommodation, she stayed in a storeroom that was less than 100. square feet, but it was, at least, a sheltered place. Therefore, Ms. Cas sandra Yates is using the market standard of three-star hotels for her calculation-120 dollars per day for accommodation and 80 dollars per day for food. I believe it is a reasonable amount.”

The visitor placed the 20,000 dollars in cash on the coffee table in front of them and turned around to leave.

However, he suddenly thought of something and looked back at the Yates family. “Lastly, Ms. Cas sandra Yates has a lot of people to love her. Since you guys don’t care about her, many others would love to do your jobs. Just make sure you don’t regret it in the future.”

After saying that, he left straightaway.

Benjamin was so furious that he swept the 20,000 dollars on the coffee table to the ground, and Leonardo’s eyes burned with anger.

“That darn girl! How dare she humiliate our family with money? Does she think the Yates residence is some place she can come and go as she pleases?’ they thought.

“Cas sandra is from the countryside. How could she have 20,000 dollars? Could it be that... I heard from my classmates that there are some people in society who, for money, would...”

Chapter 5 Ο ΓΕ Yulissa fell silent, her words left unfinished, but the presumptuous men of the Yates family had already started their speculations in their minds.

‘Cas sandra is truly a disgrace! How could she do those distasteful things out there? When she comes back, we must teach her a lesson!’ they vowed to themselves.

In the hospital, Jeremiah skillfully bandaged Cas sandra’s wound and even topped it off meticulously with a big bow.

“All done. Avoid exposing it to cold water for a few days,” Jeremiah instructed.

“You don’t have to tell me that.” Cas sandra rolled her eyes.

This was routine for Cas sandra. It was unnecessary for him to remind her.

‘But can I take off the bow? It really affects my image greatly, she grumbled inwardly.

“Where are you going to stay?” he asked.

Cas sandra had several properties registered under her name. If they continued to remain vacant, they would soon be covered in layers of dust. ‘Once she decides where to stay, I’ll go over to enjoy free meals!’ thought Jeremiah.

“Springmount Townhouse, I guess,” she said.

Springmount Townhouse was conveniently located downtown, close to her school.

Ca s sandra, who was just 18, had already acquired a doctorate degree from various top universities under the alias Elaine.

However, after reuniting with the Yates family, she willingly complied with their arrangements and enrolled in an elite high school as a Grade 12 student.

In the previous life, after the SAT results were released, Yulissa didn’t make it. On the contrary, Cas sandra became the top scorer in the city of Drieso with a score of 1574. But what did Yulissa do?

Yulissa cried, blaming Cas sandra’s existence for her poor performance in the exams. She pleaded for help from their brothers, saying she didn’t wanna miss the opportunity to go to college.

Afterward, they let Yulissa take Cas sandra’s place and enroll at Juset University with a full scholarship.

In this new life, Cas sandra was determined to regain the honor that Yulissa had stolen. from her.

‘Yulissa Yates, just wait and see what I have in store for you this lifetime!’ swore Cas sandra resolutely.
