HOW DEATH BECAME MY REBIRTH - Season 1 Episode 31

“If you want to persuade me or want me to withdraw the lawsuit, no way, Mr. Yates.”

Cassandra’s attitude was evident. After saying that, she did not say anything more to Leonardo and got in the car.

Meanwhile, Leonardo quickly grabbed the door and opened it.

“Come out, let’s have a good talk. Leonardo suppressed his anger and spoke to Cassandra as calmly as possible.

“Mr. Yates, don’t hold back your anger if you don’t want to. Show us how you always act at home.”

Then, she thought, ‘Let’s show everyone how you treat your own biological sister and spoil an outsider at home. This is ridiculous.”

“Cassandra, don’t choose to do it the hard way. | told you to come out. Didn’t you hear me?” Leonardo could not stand it anymore and roared.

‘That’s it?” Cassandra said to herself.

“Leonardo, when you orchestrated my kidnapping before the court session, attempting to make me vanish and miss the hearing, turning this lawsuit into a farce- why didn’t it. occur to you then to have a proper conversation with me?”

After that, she added, “Oh, do you think that I’m still the same country bumpkin who used to be obedient before, Mr. Yates? You still think as long as you guys talk nicely and beckon to me, I’ll act like a bootlicker and listen to you?”

“The “bootlicker” in the Yates family died at your hands long ago. You’re all murderers!” she exclaimed inwardly.

Leonardo was stunned.

He thought, ‘An outsider like you is trying to assume airs, and you don’t even stop when I’m giving you some respect. Who do you think you are?’

“Let me guess what you’re thinking about right now, Mr. Yates. You must be thinking about sending me to some uninhabited place. It had better be the so-called Desert Island, a place that has many ferocious beasts. Even if | were to die there, no one would care about me.”

Then, she continued, “You must be thinking of sending me to a place like this, Mr. Yates!” Cassandra could/not hide her sarcasm and murderous look.

Chapter 31

Meanwhile, Leonardo looked guilty for a moment.

After that, he thought, ‘How could she know so well? Did the men | hired betray me? No way. Other than the Yates family, no one knows about this. Then, how did Cassandra know?”

“What are you talking about? We’re a family. How could | send you to such a place?” Leonardo gave a fake smile that looked hypocritical.

When Cassandra saw it, she felt nauseous.

“Blargh…”

‘I’m sorry, but | can’t help it, she mused to herself.

“My bad. I’m disgusted by your shamelessness, Mr. Yates, so | couldn’t hold it in,” Cassandra said.

Hugo was in the passenger seat and almost burst into laughter while he watched them.

Finally, Cassandra who left the Yates residence had returned to her former state.

However, her eyes were full of hatred. He wondered what Cassandra had gone through in the Yates residence.

“Cassandra, you-”

“How can you say that to Leo, Cassandra? How is it possible that he will send you to such a place? Leo actually wants to take you home as you haven’t been home for many days.”

Then, she added, “You can’t stay outside with an old man!” Yulissa looked full of disappointment.

Cassandra was rendered speechless.

She looked at Hugo.

It seemed that Yulissa was right. Indeed, he was an old man.

On the contrary, Hugo was so angry with Yulissa’s statement that he hurriedly got out

of the car.

Then, as he stood in front of Yulissa, he blurted out, “You always say that you’re Cassandra’s younger sister. But, as her younger sister, when did you ever defend her?”

After that, he continued, “What do you mean by staying outside with an old man? Didn’t you see that I’m sitting in the passenger seat? You’re young. Do not make

“What are you talking about? Apologize to Yulissa. You’re already in your fifties. Don’t

think it’s funny that you’re putting a kid in such a difficult situation?” Leonardo held Yulissa in his arms and roared at Hugo. you

“A kid? How could a kid spread rumors like her? Ask everyone present what’s between me and Ms. Cassandra Yates. | came to pick her up like usual. But when you see us, you insult us. And you have the nerve to ask me to apologize to you?” Hugo found them ridiculous.

“Ms. Cassandra Yates has no parents, but she has me. | won’t allow her to be bullied. | would have died if it weren’t for her. If you bully her, I’ll not let you get away with it!” Hugo continued. He was so angry that he was short of breath and almost fainted. Cassandra’s face darkened. She did not like to hear the word “die”. Even if someone had

to die, it would be them.

“Hugo, don’t waste time talking to them.”

The crowd started to talk among themselves. One said, “I saw the entire thing. The old man approached was stopped by Mr. Yates.

girl and called her Ms. Yates. Then, she Indeed, Ms. Yulissa Yates is quite good at spreading rumors.”

Another chimed in, “I have to admit that | can’t beat her in spreading rumors.”

Then, someone else said, “All of you have no idea that Yulissa is good at distorting the

truth.”

One asked, “What do you mean?”

The person responded, “Did you see the incident about school violence the other day? My sister’s child happened to be in Honors Class One, and they were all sued by Cassandra. At first, my sister was angry and wanted to settle the score with Cassandra, but Mr. Youngblood played a ten-minute video as evidence in court.”

After that, the person added, “In every scene, Yulissa was also there. She asked her classmates to help her while acting especially weak and aggrieved. When my sister went back, she asked her son to explain everything clearly. Only then did she know that Yulissa distorted the truth. Their classmates thought Yulissa was so aggrieved that they stood up for her!”

Another said, “What? That’s disgusting

Someone else commented, “No wonder the old man came out of the car to argue with her. Good job!”

Chapter 31

One chimed in, “She has malicious thoughts at such a young age. It will get worse when she grows up!”

Another said, “I wonder who will dare to marry that daughter of the Yates family in the future.”

The sounds of the discussion grew louder. Yulissa heard everything and nearly could not maintain her image.

“Why, why?! I’ve built my reputation as an elegant lady painstakingly. It can’t be destroyed at this moment!’ she exclaimed inwardly.

“Leo, | didn’t. | didn’t do it. It’s not true. You have to trust me.” Yulissa clutched her chest and looked as if she could not breathe. “Lisa, what’s wrong? Lisa!” Leonardo called out several times worriedly.

Meanwhile, Cassandra looked at Yulissa who fell in front of her. The former thought, “What bad luck! Even if she pretends to faint, she should have taken two more steps away from me.’

“Cassandra, are you still human? Can’t you see Lisa faint? Come and help her.” Leonardo grabbed Cassandra.

He did not want to miss this opportunity as he had to take Cassandra with him.

Moreover, he had a strong feeling that Cassandra would either bring great wealth to the Yates family or make him lose everything.

Therefore, this time, he did not want to give her another chance to run away.

“Mr. Yates, even if you and Yulissa want to team up against me, I’m not afraid! But at least she needs to genuinely pass out to make it more convincing.”

Then, without giving Yulissa a chance to react, Cassandra stepped on Yulissa’s hand.

“Arghh! It hurts!”

Leonardo was dumbfounded.

‘Lisa didn’t faint. So what was she doing just now? Was she cooperating with me to take Cassandra away? Or was there something else?” he wondered.

Leonardo’s final trust in Yulissa seemed to crumble at this very moment.
