Cassandra tried to keep her distance from Orlando and hurriedly said, “Let go of me first.”

“What if I don’t?” he asked.

Orlando didn’t let her go. Instead, he lowered his head and slowly moved closer to her. Then his whole body moved behind her, with his chin resting on her shoulder. Their posture looked intimate.

Cassandra was very uncomfortable. She wanted to break free. Orlando asked. “Cassandra, are you flustered?”

She replied, “No. Please stay away from me. I can’t talk to you properly if we’re like this.”

Tm not stopping you from talking. Is it because I’m too close to you?” he asked.

Orlando’s warm breath hit her ear, making her a little unsure of how to react.

“What’s wrong with him? He’s a bit clingy, she thought.

When Orlando saw that Cassandra didn’t speak, he continued, “Cassandra, you’ve been very cold to me these days, and you never called me first. Are you forcing me to agree to divorce you this way? You are so cruel, Cassandra.”

His complexion was slightly pale, and his gaze met hers through the mirror. He expressed his grievance through his words of complaint.

Cassandra pursed her rosy lips slightly and looked at his bobbing Adam’s apple. Orlando narrowed his eyes, then turned her around and pressed his forehead against hers. He said in a husky voice, “Do you want to divorce me so badly?”

She replied. “You’re the one who asked for the divorce.”

“Why do you still feel aggrieved? I should be the one, okay? she complained inwardly.

He replied, “Yes, I brought it up first, but Cassandra, think about it yourself. I only mentioned it once. How many times have you mentioned it since then? You even talked to Grandpa behind my back. How did you convince him?”

He was a little angry, but his tone was very soft. He grabbed her waist as if to punish her.

Cassandra pushed him away, trying to keep her distance, but his chest was like a wall that wouldn’t budge.

He asked, “Cassandra, answer me. Are you really so eager to cut ties with me? Are you so cruel as to leave me?”

She replied, “Orlando, don’t twist the truth. It was you who wanted to divorce me and marry Rebecca. How could you make a false statement?”

They could clearly feel each other’s breath because the distance between them was so close,

When Orlando saw her eyes darting, he raised his hand to pinch her chin and make her look into his eyes. He said, “Till never mention it again, so go tell Grandpa you were just throwing a tantrum and make him give up the idea, okay?”

“No,” she refused

Orlando frowned and said, “Cassandra, behave yourself.”

Then he leaned over and kissed her lips hard, causing her to feel

pain.

“Orlando, you can’t always bully me like this, Cassandra said in a low voice, struggling subconsciously and using all her strength to push him away.

Her voice sounded a little shaky, her eyes reddened, and her nose tingled slightly. She also lost control of her emotions.

Her appearance deeply moved him, and his heart felt like it was being torn apart.

She looked at him and said, “Why are you upset now that Grandpa is willing to let us divorce? Orlando, what exactly do you. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

want?”

As soon as she finished her words, Orlando kissed her again.

Orlando had always been dominant in such matters. He didn’t give her a chance to fight back and immediately wrapped his arms around her waist, trapping her in his embrace.

He kissed her harder and harder and only stopped when she was almost out of breath.

They looked at each other, and Orlando gave her a meaningful look. He could not take his eyes off her beautiful, rosy face.

He did not let go, but Cassandra could not allow him to continue by saying, “I’m having my menstruation.”

Orlando laughed out loud.

He said. “Did I try to do anything? What are you talking about?”

His laughter echoed in the walk–in closet, not soft or loud, but she heard it clearly, and her heart trembled slightly.

Cassandra felt baffled seeing his change of attitude.

Doesn’t he love Rebecca very much? Why did he say and do such things she wondered,

However, if Orlando didn’t tell her, she wouldn’t ask him.

After all, the answer might not be what she wanted.

She was just confused by his sudden change.

What is he thinking she wondered.

However, before she could figure out Orlando’s thoughts, Cassandra ran into trouble.

On the phone, Nellie told Cassandra, “Cassandra, rumor has it that you’re an easy woman with a complicated private life and that you’ve befriended many unsavory characters to secure your position in the Jackson family. Also…”

*What else did they say?” Cassandra asked.

“They’re all terrible. Have you provoked someone?” Nellie replied.

Nellie didn’t know how to tell her, and she found it hard to talk about it.

She sent the screenshots to Cassandra, which had been spreading in the industry for several days.

Even though Cassandra had returned to Broburgh a year ago, the people of upper society still had some impressions of her. After all, she had the support of the Jackson family, who had been in Broburgh for many years.

Cassandra still had no idea what had happened after hearing Nellie’s words. Evelyn called as well.

Evelyn had been mistreating Cassandra since the latter insisted on the divorce. She said indifferently, “Is it because you have a bad reputation that Orlando wants à divorce?”

Cassandra remained silent,

Evelyn continued without caring if Cassandra wanted to speak and continued, “Cassandra, even though you didn’t grow up with me by your side, I have raised you for more than ten years. Is that how I taught you? Is that how your granny taught you? How can you be so shameless?”

“Granny has taught me well. You have no right to criticize her, Cassandra retorted.

Evelyn was a little stunned and added, “So you turned bad all by yourself? Did the Jackson family mistreat you? How can you hang around with those ruthless people? You’re tarnishing our family’s reputation. How will Suzanne find a decent partner in the future? You’ve really disappointed me.”

Cassandra exclaimed, “Do you always believe what others say without bothering to see if it is true! As long as someone says something, you think I did it. Then I have nothing to say. Think whatever you want!

Evelyn was silent for a while, then questioned Cassandra again and ordered her to resolve the matter immediately so as not to negatively affect the Jackson family.

Cassandra was frustrated but also realized that things might not be as simple as they seemed.

However, she didn’t know who was behind it, so she needed to find out.

When she got to the office, she told Michael about it.

Michael frowned and said, “I’m going to find out who is behind this. How are you going to explain this to Orlando?”

“Why should I explain something I didn’t do?” Cassandra asked faintly.

Michael returned to his office after a brief conversation with her. He made a phone call and asked someone to investigate it. He then hung up the phone, lost in thought. Less than half a minute later, he turned on his phone again and dialed a number.

Someone answered the call immediately.

Michael asked coldly. “Didn’t I tell you not to do anything I don’t want to see?”

The man on the other end of the call said faintly, “I hate her.”

Michael asked, “So you won’t even listen to me now?”

I… the other party spoke hesitantly.

Michael warned, “Don’t ever do that again. It will only backfire on me. Don’t forget our purpose.”

The other party responded, “I got it.”

Michael hung up the phone and raised his hand to his forehead, looking solemn and silent.
