Cassandra moved really fast, leaving them no chance to react. Even Anthony who was holding thehandgun didn’t react in time.

With a bang, Cassandra hit Anthony on the nose. Then she quickly grabbed his wrist and twisted it.Anthony cried in pain.

The handgun was dropped, and Anthony’s hand was broken.

“Talk nicely next time. If you dare to put a handgun against me again, I’ll cut off your hands!”Cassandra’s voice was incredibly cold.

But her tone was also fearless and confident. Hugo was really excited, and he still remembered to pickup the handgun on the ground.

Cassandra let go of Anthony’s hand and said disdainfully, “Loser.”

She took over the handgun from Hugo’s hand. That idiot had pulled the trigger, so it was easy to fireaccidentally. It was not safe for Hugo to hold it.

Cassandra took the handgun and pointed it at Anthony. His hand was broken, and. his face was reallypale. Seeing the muzzle point at him, he trembled with fear. He had pulled the trigger. If Cassandradidn’t

pay attention…

“What exactly do you want?”

Cassandra looked at Anthony playfully and thought, ‘What a loser. He’s already scared? He was soarrogant just now!

“I just want to tell you to put the gun away.”

Suddenly, a gunshot sounded. Everyone present’s heart trembled. They closed. their eyes and openedthem again.

Then they found that everyone was safe and sound. Only a hole had appeared on the ground in front ofAnthony.

Cassandra withdrew her hand turned it backward and handed it to Anthony. “Here you are.”

Anthony took the handgun with trembling hands. He still didn’t want to give up and asked, “Who areyou?”

“Who am I?” Cassandra chuckled. “Since you asked sincerely, I’ll tell you.

“I’m Cassandra, a native of Drieso and a student of Juset University. I was an orphan since childhood,but I have good talent and have learned some medical skills since I was a child. Your prince consortkidnapped the person who is in charge of my company. I’m just here to take my person back.

“I saw you h

some family issues. I have always been helpful and reluctant to see other people suffer, so I was aboutto help your queen, but…” Cassandra shook her head and said with disdain, “Looks like you’re not

willing to let me help you.”

Anthony didn’t believe it at all. He thought, ‘Her Majesty has said that this woman is her daughter.

‘She even wanted to give her the throne. That belongs to Her Majesty. Why should she give it tosomeone else?

‘Even if she wants to do it, it should happen when she is dying, but not now!

“As for the throne that Ms. Leanna Stark said, I really have no interest in it. I live a free life withoutparents. Why should I be the leader of a country and considerate to others?”

Cassandra wasn’t a saint. She didn’t have to be concerned about and help common people.

Leanna’s eyes were full of disappointment, and Darren’s eyes were also filled with complicatedemotions.

Cassandra ignored Anthony and turned to Darren. She said coldly, “Mr. Yates, don’t forget our deal. Ifyou and Ms. Leanna Stark break the rule again, I can leave at any time. You can have a try if you don’tbelieve me.”

Then Cassandra ignored them and glanced at Hugo. “Let’s go.”

Hugo followed behind Cassandra and left directly.

Cassandra’s voice sounded outside the meeting hall, “Check if Theodore has already gotten all theherbs. If not, let him pay and you do it.”

“Okay, right away.”

Chapter 287

This mess started and ended because of Cassandra.

In Leanna’s bedroom, Leanna asked confusedly, “What deal did you make with Cassie?”

Darren kept silent. He didn’t know how to explain it to Leanna. She wouldn’t be able to take such athing at all.

“Don’t worry. It’s not a big deal.” Darren sighed. He was not ready to tell Leanna yet. He was afraid thatshe could not take it, so he could only coax her softly, “Let’s not mention the matter of reuniting with ourdaughter first, okay? When you get better, we will think about how to make up for her. We can bring itup after she forgives us, okay?”

No matter how hard they tried, it would only backfire, and even make Cassandra hate them more.Darren didn’t want to see that happen.

Leanna was even more confused. She didn’t understand why Darren did this. She thought, ‘Ourdaughter is right here. We can reunite directly. Why should we make a detour?

‘And also the throne. We’ve agreed to pass it on to Cassie. What’s all about it now?”

“No, my daughter is right in front of me. Why can’t I reunite with her? Are hiding something from me?”

Leanna shook her head. She couldn’t accept Darren’s explanation at all.

you

She had been waiting for her daughter for 18 years, and she didn’t want to wait any longer.

“I’ll tell you when you get better, Darren said helplessly.

“No, tell me now. Is it related to me?” Leanna had a hunch. It must have something to do with her.Darren would only compromise when it came to something that related to her.

*Leanna, your health is the most important thing. Cassie said that you should take more rest and don’tworry about anything. Just leave these things to me first, okay? We’ll just postpone it temporarily, notforever. Come on.”

Darren tried his best to persuade Leanna. He was also exhausted, but he still had to support his family.

Clupter 287

The poison in Leanna’s and Harper’s bodies hadn’t been removed, and they hadn’t. reunited with theirdaughter yet. Darren couldn’t collapse now, so he could only balance everything in the middle.

“You must have made a deal. If you don’t tell me, I will ask Cassie. I believe she is. willing to tell me.”

Darren didn’t know what to say. It was true. If it were Cassandra, she would definitely tell Leannawithout hesitation. The more direct, the better.

Darren sighed and said calmly, “I can tell you. But you must control your emotions, okay?”

Leanna nodded, and then Darren said, “I did have made a deal with Cassie…”

Meanwhile, Hugo found Theodore and asked coldly, “Mr. Yates, have you gotten all the herbs that Ms.Yates needs?”

Seeing that it was Hugo, Theodore was very polite. He shook his head and said, “Sorry, I haven’tcollected all of them yet. We still need two more. We can’t replace any in the whole country.”

Theodore pointed to the medicine cabinet beside him and scratched his head. awkwardly.

Hugo took the list, looked at the medicine cabinet, and checked all the herbs one by one.

The last two herbs were actually quite common, but they might not be valued in foreign countries, sothey rarely appeared. Now they couldn’t even replace any of them.

“Ms. Yates has said that you get the money ready and leave the rest to me. I’ll have someone transportthem from abroad. You just need to arrange the plane and pay the bill.”

Hugo thought, ‘If I handle it, we’ll get the herbs tomorrow.

‘If we wait any longer, Ms. Yates will go mad!‘
