Chapter 935 You Are Not A Kid
Sadness filled Cassandra then.
“Richie... my stomach hurts.” Shiela suddenly clenched her stomach with one hand as a weakness overtook her
while Richard stared at Cassandra.
“Shiela, are you feeling unwell? Come on. Take a seat.” Richard retracted his gaze from Cassandra and focused all
his attention on Shiela.
Shiela replied coyly, “Maybe... it's our baby kicking me.”
Her voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was enough for the rest of the crowd to hear her words.
Even though Cassandra didn't want to pay attention to Richard or Shiela, Shiela's announcement traveled into her
ears rapidly.

Shiela leaned against Richard's embrace casually. When she met Cassandra's eyes, her weak and coy expression
was replaced with a provocative and triumphant look.
Richard had his arms wrapped around Shiela so she could sit more comfortably. He didn't notice the hostile
exchange between Shiela and Cassandra.
Cassandra suppressed the urge to throw things at the couple, who were hugging each other tightly, before turning
away from them.
I'm not the child who follows behind Richard and Shiela anymore. I will never do things that will ruin my reputation
in public. Not now, not ever. I'm the chief financial officer of Imperial Hotel, working alongside Boss now.
Cassandra was aware of the close relationship between Richard and Ashlyn. It was not worth it for her to offend
Richard over a pretentious woman like Shiela.
However, before Cassandra could respond appropriately, Ashlyn, not far away from her, glared at Shiela and
sneered. “What a hypocritical, disgusting, and pretentious woman.”
Shiela had her pride, for she was the daughter of a wealthy family. She could not keep her emotions in check as she
snapped at Ashlyn. “Who are you calling a disgusting woman?”
Ashlyn ignored her. Shiela pushed Richard away as she charged toward Cassandra, wanting to slap her.
“What are you trying to do? Boss can scold anyone she likes, and who are you to hit me?” Cassandra grabbed
Shiela's wrist before swinging her hand away, causing Shiela to stumble backward.
The commotion at their side attracted many's attention in an instant. They stared at Shiela's indecent appearance
in shock.
“I heard that Shiela has always relied on Cassandra's blood to stay alive because of her weak body.”
“Damn it! I heard that Cassandra was adopted from the orphanage to become a blood bank for Shiela.”

“But Cassandra is a talented woman. Didn't you see the trending news about her? She is known for her monstrous
strength despite her looks. Not only that, she is a champion in martial art and archery! It doesn't matter that they
used her as a blood bank!”
“Am I the only one who cares about Shiela's pregnancy?”
“Is she carrying Mr. Shaw's child?”
Shiela's face paled as anger filled her while she listened to the discussion. She had the massive urge to slap
Cassandra.
Frustration built up in Richard when he saw Cassandra pushing Shiela away forcefully. His anger was further
intensified when he spotted the constant disdain on Cassandra's face. He also found Cassandra and Shiela annoying
and weren't as easygoing as Ashlyn. He was embarrassed when he thought about how Ashlyn had scolded Shiela.
However, the Jensen family still had value to Richard. He had to pretend to be unbothered by their actions.
He grabbed Shiela's waist, steadying her before saying to Cassandra, “She's pregnant. Can't you be more gentle
toward her? You're not a kid anymore, Cassandra!”
