Chapter 77 Silence was her only answer at the end.
Gabriela started to realize that something was wrong between the couple and hurriedly assured, "Cassie, I believe you, so can you tellwhat happened?" Cassandra pursed her lips and stared at Orlando as profound disappointment filled her.
She told herself, 'Cassandra, have you finally realized who he only cares about? Stop your wishful thinking! She took a deep breath and said airily, "Orlando, believe it or not, I have no intention of hurting myself. It was Rebecca who pushed me. Of course, you can choose to trust her. After all, my words have no credibility to you." Then, she looked at Gabriela and said, "Gabriela, I'm heading back to Dustmeadow Mansion. I'm fine, so don't worry about me. Today is Grandpa Peter's birthday, but most of the things that happened today seemed to have something to do with me, so I'm really sorry about that." "What are you saying, you silly child? We're a family. Frederick, Peter, and I believe you and are on your side." Gabriela understood the implications behind Cassandra's words, looked at Orlando, and said, "Head back with Cassie." "No," Cassandra quickly refused. She added, "I'll go back by myself, Gabriela." After that, she pulled back the covers and got out of bed. The whole process was so fast that she didn't spare another glance at Orlando.
Orlando's face becdarker, and his frown deepened at the sight of the stubbornness on Cassandra's pale countenance.
Cassandra drove away from the Quinn manor. Her heart felt empty as she departed. It was not that she was unaware of Orlando's bias toward Rebecca. She knew but did not give up and insisted on asking.
She sighed deeply as the disappointment in her heart grew.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe thought silently, 'A year of marriage can't even get him to trust me. Isn't it ridiculous? Cassandra. Oh, Cassandra! You' truly useless!' Meanwhile, at the Quinn manor, Gabriela glared at Orlando. "What's the matter with you? Has Rebecca cast a spell on you? You don't trust your wife but trust her?" Orlando did not say a thing as a solemn expression crossed his face. Anger surged within Gabriela, but it was not like she could ditch her son. All she could do was glare at him silently several times before turning around and leaving.
He stood there for a long time. Cassandra's beautiful face flashed across his mind, He saw her every emotion.
After a minute of silence, Orlando left the room, going in search of the butler to extract the surveillance footage near the pool.
Orlando's handsface tensed, and his dark eyes turned glacial at the scene playing on the screen.
A while later, he deleted the footage and strode toward the parking lot.
"Are you leaving, Landy? Can you givea ride?" Just as Orlando was about to open the door and get in the car, a woman's gentle voice cfrom behind.
Chapter 77 He turned around and saw Rebecca walking slowly toward him, holding Benita's hand. Her eyes were fixed on him expectantly, waiting for a response.
With an indifferent expression and no emotions in his eyes, Orlando didn't speak for a long time. Rebecca was a little flustered but still pretended to be calm on the surface.
Rebecca felt a little embarrassed as people pulled away from the parking lot, witnessing the scene. She released Benita's hand and walked closer to Orlando. "Landy, why don't you say something?" She looked over her shoulder at Benita and said, "Benita, why don't you go back first? I'll be riding with Landy." Benita nodded and said, "Okay. I'll leave then." She raised her hand and waved it, then smiled at Orlando. "Take good care of Rebecca and send her hsafely, Mr. Quinn." However, Orlando still didn't offer any response. Feeling embarrassed, Benita left hurriedly.
Rebecca didn't dare to look him in the eye, so she probed, "Landy, what's wrong with you?" "Have your manager pick you up, okay?" He didn't answer her question but just glanced at her indifferently. "Landy." Rebecca's eyes instantly turned red from disbelief. She pursed her lips and said softly, "Landy, did Cassandra say something to you? I wanted to pull her up, but she didn't wanttouching her, so I..." "Rebecca, I have work to do at the office, so have your manager pick you up," Orlando interrupted Rebecca, then got in the car and left.
Rebecca stood in place for a long tin a daze. Many who cout of the house saw what had happened. Someone whispered, "It seems that Rebecca and Mr. Quinn are not that close. It feels like wishful thinking on her part, but Mr. Quinn seems indifferent toward her." "I think so, too. Even though she's a celebrity, the Quinn family doesn't lack talents. Mr. Peter Quinn, Mr. Frederick Quinn, and Mrs. Quinn don't seem to favor her from their attitudes tonight. In my opinion, it is unlikely that she will marry into the Quinn family. I think the Quinn family likes Cassandra very much. Maybe she will marry Mr. Orlando Quinn in the future. Who knows?" another responded.
The people discussing didn't care that Rebecca could hear them clearly, standing not far away, and it seemed that they deliberately wanted her to hear them.
Rebecca's hands clenched into fists, and her face darkened..
She blamed everything on Cassandra and was even more certain that Cassandra must have said something to Orlando. Otherwise, his attitude would not have turned so cold to her out of the blue.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn the end, Rebecca had to ask her manager to pick her up. As soon as she hung up the phone, she saw Suzanne approach her.
They obviously knew each other.
Suzanne stared at her coldly. "Rebecca, don't you know Orlando is married to Cassandra? Why are you stuck to him like a parasite? Don't you feel disgusted with how you're acting?"
"Who are you to judge me, Suzanne? Don't think I don't know about your feelings toward Landy. I refuse to believe that you're not even the slightest bit jealous of Cassandra.
Don't you think you're more disgusting when the man you like has becyour brother-in-law?" Rebecca/retorted.
Suzanne's expression changed slightly, but she still maintained her dignified ladylike image and said е m nonchalantly, "So what? That was before Orlando got married. Now that he's my sister's husband, I won't have any misgivings about him. As for you, Rebecca, you're a public figure, so don't do anything that toe the baseline of morality. If you wronged my sister, our family Mon, σ May Chapter 77 will not let this slide.
"You keep saying that Cassandra is your sister, Suzanne. Do you really think of her as your sister, though? You know best bl how your parents treat her. Didn't this happen all because they're biased toward you? After all, you're the one who wronged her the most." Rebecca chuckled, her eyes full of provocation. Suzanne instantly fell silent at her words.
She watched Rebecca leave arrogantly and didn't respond for a long time. Rebecca's words were like a key opening the Pandora's box of memories in her mind, turning the expression on her face stiffer and stiffer.
