Chapter 44



“Louisa, when’s the monthly inspection of the surveillance camera in the garage?” asked Cassie.

They’ve just done it this morning, replied Louisa, “What’s wrong? Is there anything wrong with the surveillance camera?”

“Ask someone to check it secretly. Be careful. Don’t let others at home know it,” said Cassie.

Louisa nodded immediately.

She said, “Okay, I’ll handle it!”

Cassie nodded and then entered the room calmly.

After all the recent mess, Heston and Lucas became busy again.

Originally, Anne was also gonna be busy.

But since she knew that Cassie had suffered so much grievance alone in the past few years, she changed her focus.

She canceled most of the activities and dinner parties before the SATs

“Mom, I’m home,” Cassie greeted loudly as she changed her shoes at the door.

Anne came out after a while

Her expression looked quite sullen.

“What’s wrong?” Cassie asked with a frown.

Anne looked at Cassie strangely and shook her head. “I’m fine. Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner.

“Okay” Cassie wanted to say something more, but Anne directly turned around and went back.

“What’s wrong? Cassie asked Louisa in a low voice.

Louisa shook her head and said, “Mrs. Murphy was fine just now

“Has Julia met my mom?” asked Cassie.

“Mrs. Murphy went out to deal with something when Julia came here,” replied Louisa.

Cassie nodded, feeling a little uneasy.

Anne didn’t have dinner with Cassie and kept herself in the room.

Lucas came home later.

When he saw Cassie, his expression was also a little strange.

“Dad, where is Grandpa?” asked Cassie.

“He’s still in a meeting in the company. I came home because I had something urgent to deal with, replied Lucas. “You… I’ve heard about what happened at school today. You’ve done a good job.”

“Dad, what’s wrong?” Cassie ignored Lucas’ praise.

“Nothing. It’s getting late. Go back to your room to study and go to bed early.” Lucas avoided Cassie’s inquiring gaze, b**d her, and then went back to his room directly.

Cassie tapped the back of her right hand with her left index finger.

She seemed to have guessed something.

She thought. Looks like someone got anxious and wanted to lay hands on me directly.

Cassie lowered her eyes and sneered disdainfully. She thought, “You really have no self-awareness. How dare you?”

“Ms. Murphy…” Louisa stood beside Cassie and felt a little shocked when she saw the smile on her face.

Cassie looked up at Louisa, and the sullenness on her face suddenly disappeared.

Louisa even thought what she saw just now was a hallucination.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Louisa, we might have no time to repair the surveillance camera. I’ll get you something and you have to take it to the garage. Cassie said softly.

Louisa said. “Okay,”

Meanwhile, in the room of Lucas and Anne. “Have you confirmed it?” Anne asked Lucas with a sullen face. It can be really serious

“According to the clues in the video. I have confirmed that the night when Julia was photographed was indeed the night before Cassie’s birthday,” said Lucas. “Someone saw Julia put medicine in Cassie’s cup.”

“But… But in the end, it was Julia…” Anne frowned more tightly.

‘Check it yourself!” Lucas handed the phone to Anne with a sullen face.

Anne’s expression froze when she saw it.

“All the surveillance videos of that night in the bar and alley are gone. I don’t believe that it’s a coincidence,” Lucas said. seriously. “This was taken by a pl**oy in the bar that night. He has clearly photographed the scene of Julia drugging!”

After the video was over, Anne kept silent for a long while.

“If she has really drugged Cassie, I won’t cover up for her.” Then Anne took out her phone and called Julia. She soon answered it.

Before Julia could say anything. Anne directly asked, “What drug did you put into the glass of water that you gave her the night before her birthday?”

“Aunt Anne, what are you talking about?” There was a second of silence on the other end of the phone, and then Julia’s surprised and confused voice sounded.

“Don’t quibble. Someone in the bar has shot the scene of you drugging Cassie that night, and now the video is in our hands!” Anne said seriously. “Julia, when did you become like this? Didn’t Cassie treat you well enough? Why did you do that?”

Julia kept silent for a long while.

Then she said, “Aunt Anne, have you seen what I gave you in the evening?”

Anne frowned.

“You’ve seen it, haven’t you?” Julia suddenly sneered. “I don’t know what kind of d**n video you’ve gotten, but I was the one who was drugged that night, right? It was Cassie who drugged me, okay? How could you still blame me when you’ve known the truth? Is it because Cassie is better than me?”

Lucas was confused. “What is she talking about?”

“That’s just a blurry photo. Even if that person was really C**ic, you can’t prove what she has done!” Anne said word by word.

When Anne was waiting for Cassie to come back from school, Jalla sent her a photo. In the photo, Julia was lying on the sofa. and several men were lifting her. A girl in a peaked cap was standing aside and watching.

Her figure looked like Cassie’s.

That photo was obviously taken through a c**k of the door of the private room.

“You’re shielding her, aren’t you? Yeah, she’s your daughter. Of course you will shield her!” Julia sneered.

Anne closed her eyes and took a deep breath to calm herself down

“Forget about it. This matter is over. No one is allowed to bring it up again. I will speed up and send you abroad for further study in a week,” said Anne.

Julia was stunned

She had just found the photo not long ago. She thought she could give it to Anne as strong evidence and win her sympathy and trust again.

But she didn’t expect that Anne was on Cassie’s side.

-Julia said. “Alright! I’m a worthless person. I’ll do whatever you want me to do, Mrs. Murphy!”

Then Julia hung up the phone.

Looking at the black screen, Anne felt really annoyed. She said, “How did everything become like this?”

“What photo?” Lucas held her nervously.

Anne sighed and showed the photo sent by Julia to Lucas.

Staring at the girl in the photo with a peaked cap, Lucas asked, “It’s Cassie?”

Anne said, “That’s what Julia said.”

“No way. Cassie wasn’t that sullen,” Lucas denied at once.

“Let’s ask her after the SATs, Anne supported her forehead with her hand. “Now the evidence of Julia drugging Cassie is conclusive. Since Cassie is fine, let’s not make it a big deal. I’ll send her abroad in two days.”

After a pause, Anne looked at Lucas and said, “Honey, don’t tell your father about it.”

Lucas knew that Anne still didn’t want to drive Julia to the wall. If Heston knew that Julia had drugged Cassie, he wouldn’t let off Julia no matter whether she succeeded or not. Lucas said, “Okay.”

That night, the two of them both had something on their minds. They had the same doubts and worries about the night before Cassie’s birthday,

“If it was really Julia who drugged Cassie, why was Cassie fine but Julia… With such a question in their mind, they didn’t sleep well the whole night.

Julia called Anne before dawn. As soon as Anne answered it, she heard Julia crying. “Aunt Anne, are you really gonna abandon me?”

Anne said. “Julia…”

Julia said, “Aunt Anne, it’s so high here. I won’t be in pain anymore after I jump off, right?”

Anne was shocked. “Where are you?”

“I’m on the roof of my own house. Every summer when I was a child, my parents and I would cool off here. I also used to. have a happy family!” Julia cried desperately,

“Julia, it’s not a big deal. Don’t be silly!” Anne got out of bed in a hurry. “I won’t abandon you. I’m just sending you abroad for further study.”

“Stop lying to me!” Julia sounded very emotional. “You don’t love me at all.

Julia, wait until I get there, okay? Let’s talk face-to-face, Anne sand anxiously.

“Will you come!” Julia sobbed. “Don’t you need to have breakfast with Cassie and send her to school?”

“That doesn’t matter!” Anne said gently. I’ll go to you immediately.

“What about Uncle Lucas? Will he come to see me? He must hate me!” Julia continued to cry,

“Uncle Lucas is also coming.” Anne said firmly.

Lucas was confused.

Okay, I’ll give you one hour. If you can’t come here in time, I’ll go to reunite with my parents!” Julia said in a choking voice.

Anne said, “Don’t hang up. 1-

Before she finished her words, Julia hung up the phone.

“What’s wrong?” Lucas asked in confusion.

“Julia wants to jump off the building!” said Anne. “She wants to see me now!”

“Why’s she doing that?” The two of them didn’t dare to make a scene. They changed their clothes and rushed out.

The sun rose outside the window. Cassie stood in front of the French window with her long hair sc**ed on her shoulders. She looked at the flowers in the garden, which were covered with crystal dew.

From afar, she could see the sunlight penetrating through the clouds and sc**d all over the ground.

She stretched herself slowly and comfortably.

“It’ll definitely be a good day,” Cassie mumbled. Then she turned around and left the room.

An hour later, a loud boom suddenly sounded near the mountain road as if something had exploded. Soon, the mountain road went on the trending topic.

Soon later, Julia rushed back to the Murphy residence. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Cassie and Heston who were about to go out. She rushed over and asked, “Grandpa, Cassie, how’s Aunt Anne and Uncle Lucas?”
