Chapter 544
She walkedand Tyler out of The Imperial Club. Before we got in the car, she shouted, "Don’t forget to text me
on WhatsApp."
| let out a long sigh of relief after getting in the car.
"What's wrong?" Tyler asked with concern.
| shook my head with a smile. "Cassey is so different from what | imagined."
| thought a spoiled lady like Cassey would be similar t o Cindy-arrogant, rude, uncaring, and stupid.
However, Cassey was obviously nothing like that. She was smart but a handful.
Tyler nodded. "Her mother isn't as simple as you might think.”
A mistress, who was able to turn her daughter into the eldest daughter of the Louises with a status much higher
than Grayson's, was not merely difficult to understand but also all-powerful.
After | got home, Theo had not cback yet.
Not wanting to concern myself with his business, | lay on the bed drowsily and fell asleep not long after.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe next morning, | was woken up by the phone ringing. | raised the phone and saw that it was
Xander. | quickly answered it. "What's wrong?”
"| saw the news. Were you the one behind Petra's incident?" The first question he askedwas related t o a
topic | did not want to talk about.
| rolled over and closed my eyes. "I did it."
Xander sighed. "I know you hate her, Wandy, but how far are you going to go before you'll finally be satisfied?”
| narrowed my eyes. "Are you saying that | should do nothing at all?”
"That's not what | mean."
Xander's voice was filled with helplessness. "I don't want you to turn to the kind of person you hate. | think
you've done enough and should stop now. If you live every day seeking revenge, then those of us who care
about you will be really heartbroken.”
| sat up from my bed, lowered my head, and chuckled bitterly.
"It's too late, Xander. I've already turned into the kind o f person | used to hate. Actually, | don't think this version
of myself is bad. At least, this is much better than before when | wasn’t able to do anything but suffer in pain.”
No one should regret the changes they made, because the moment one wanted to change was the moment one
was unhappy with one's current state.
Xander sighed softly, not continuing this subject. "Are
you done with your work over there? When are you planning to cback to Salt City? Jerand | will g o and
pick you up."
"I'll go back when I'm done with all my work here."
After hanging up the phone, | got out of bed to wash u P-
When | was done washing up, | went downstairs and saw Miss Woods packing her suitcase in the living room. |
went over and asked, "Are you going back to Salt City, Miss Woods?"
"Yeah, I'm going back this afternoon." She stood up straight and smiled at me. "Are you and Mr. Grant planning
to celebrate New Year's in Salt City?"
| was unsure about Theo, but | was definitely celebrating New Year's in Salt City.
I did not say that, though. Instead, | said, "We might go back to Salt City to celebrate New Year's."
Miss Woods frowned. "You're now the Schumans' daughter. You should go back to the Schumans' place t o
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcelebrate New Year's."
"We'll see." My head was suddenly hurting.
| drove to the company after eating breakfast. As soon as | stepped into the office, the finance manager came
looking for me.
The financial statement of the second half of the year was well over five times more than the first half.
| put down the statement and smiled at the finance manager. "This finance statement is the best New Year's gift
to me. It’s going to be New Year's soon. Why don’t you give all the employees bonuses so they can all have a
great New Year's?"
The finance manager nodded. "Don't worry, Miss Lane. We'll work harder after New Year's."
I nodded with a smile. "Go on, then."
| initially chere to expand my own business.
After having enough capital, | would undercut Petra's business so she would not earn a single penny from the
entertainment industry.
