HOW DEATH BECAME MY REBIRTH - Season 1 Episode 46

Upon hearing that it was Yulissa who fell into the pool, Leonardo swiftly dived in and rescued her. As her white dress had become somewhat transparent after getting wet, he hurriedly removed his suit jacket and draped it over her.

“Lisa! Lisa, how do you feel?” Leonardo asked worriedly.

Benjamin and Miranda also hurried over and asked about her condition worriedly.

They looked like such a harmonious family!

“L-Leo, I’m fine. Ahem…” Yulissa snuggled weakly in Leonardo’s arms. She kept trembling as she was really scared, and tears kept flowing down her cheeks.

“Lisa, tell me, who pushed you?” asked Leonardo.

‘I’m going to tear that person apart!’ he thought.

Yulissa regained composure after a while, and her body temperature gradually rose. In a weak tone, she said, “Leo, d-don’t blame Cassandra. | want to talk to her about something. | want to apologize to her and ask her to come home. But… She didn’t want to come back. It has nothing to do with her. Don’t blame her.”

“Who is the Cassandra she is referring to?” someone in the crowd asked.

“Cassandra Yates, | think. She’s so vicious. How could she push someone into the swimming pool? Have she ever thought that something bad might happen?” another remarked.

“They didn’t raise her personally, so it’s normal that she’s somewhat wild and hard to

contain.”

“She really is from a small-time household. Look at the manners she has.”

“You know what, shouldn’t we ask the staff about what really happened? Why are we jumping to conclusions because of what Yulissa said? Don’t you think it’s a little rash?” someone refuted.

Cassandra looked over in that voice’s direction when she heard that. It was a lady in a bright yellow dress, and her face was full of righteousness.

‘That was rare. Everyone has been pampering Yulissa, seeing her as an apple of their eyes. | can’t believe there is such a righteous lady, thought Cassandra.

Benjamin turned around and looked at Cassandra. He raised his hand, but he was hesitant to slap her. He worried that if he did so, Lucas and Benjamin would end the

“Why are you so ruthless? She’s your sister. How could you push her into the water?” he questioned with a pained expression, his eyes feigning disappointment.

Only Cassandra knew the extent of his indifference and how much he detested her.

“| don’t even have parents. How can | have a sister?” Cassandra’s tone was cold.

She constructed a wall of self-protection, using indifference and alienation, to shield herself within.

“You! You’re so traitorous! Am | not your father?”

Benjamin couldn’t help but feel panic surging in his heart as he witnessed Cassandra attempting to sever ties with them.

The sensation left him irritable as if something crucial were slipping away from his

grasp.

“Have you forgotten what you told me on the first day you welcomed me into the Yates residence, Mr. Benjamin Yates?” Benjamin was silent.

He truly had forgotten what he had said. However, he figured that he must have warned her to be careful. There was nothing else he could have said.

“You said, ‘I’m not your father. Don’t call me Dad. My daughter is Yulissa. Am | wrong? So, isn’t it normal that | don’t have parents?”

It was the first time she felt profound disappointment. She had waited a long time for them to acknowledge her, believing she had finally found a family after Blossom’s passing.

Returning to the Yates family with joy, she received a heart-wrenching warning.

Initially, she attributed it to her family’s temporary inability to accept her.

Unfortunately, she failed to realize their lack of heart until her death in her previous life. They never intended to recognize her as their daughter from the beginning.

Yet, she had foolishly given them everything for two years, a realization that now struck her as utterly ridiculous.

Benjamin was a little guilty and ashamed. He quickly changed the topic, using a more assertive tone. “Don’t change the subject. Why did you push Lisa? You must apologize to

her!”

He would not allow his baby girl to endure such grievance.

Cassandra rolled her eyes and thought, ‘This family is so blind.’

“Did

you see me push her? Or are you making such a claim because of Yulissa’s words?”

Leonardo asked Miranda to keep a hold of Yulissa. He angrily addressed Cassandra, “Who would attempt to frame you at the risk of their own life, Cassandra? You’ve gone too far. Not only did you bully Lisa at home, but you also attempted to harm her here!”

Kenneth walked toward Cassandra and stood in front of her. He and Jeremiah shielded her from each side.

Cassandra was a little stunned by his move. It was the second time he had defended her that night.

However, she could handle the situation herself.

“Mr. Leonardo Yates, | can’t help but wonder how you became the CEO of the Yates Group. Do all members of the Yates family have something wrong with their brains like you? There’s a saying, ‘Birds of a feather flock together,’ and you and Yulissa seem to epitomize that. Perhaps both of you should have your brains checked. | can help you book an appointment.”

‘Yulissa, since you gave me such an opportunity, don’t blame me for taking advantage of it!’ thought Cassandra.

Leonardo was furious. “Do all those who grew,up in the countryside lack manners like you? You’re not going to admit it, are you? I’ll look for witnesses now. With their accounts, | wonder how you’re going to deny it.”

He looked around and saw a few waiters.

“Tell me,

have you seen what just happened?”

He didn’t believe that no one saw the entire happenings when Yulissa fell into the pool.

After a while, one of the waitresses came forward and said, “I just saw two ladies talking on the terrace. Suddenly, | saw the lady in the black dress push the other lady.”

‘Here comes the witness!”

Yulissa leaned on her mother’s shoulder and smiled with triumph. ‘Cassandra, your reputation will be ruined.

Leonardo wore an expression of sudden realization. “Cassandra, what else do you want to say?”

Cassandra smiled contemptuously. “Did you really see me push her? How did | push? What were our positions at that time? Did | push with one or two hands? How did Yulissa fall?”

The waitress’ face turned pale, and she panicked, “At that time… This young lady was… like… two hands.”

Yulissa’s expression changed when she noticed the turn of events.

‘Sh it! What if Cassandra gleaned something from her inquiries?’ she thought anxiously.

“Mom, I’m feeling dizzy…” she said weakly and rubbed her forehead.

“Did you really see the happenings clearly?”

“|… | saw it clearly.”

Cassandra turned around and said to Lucas and Sylvia, “Mr. Hathaway and Mrs. Hathaway, this might be a good time to end today’s coc ktail party.”

‘It

appears that you. all will take my kindness for granted if | allow this to continue,’ she thought.

Lucas waved his hand. He didn’t mind it as long as Cassandra was happy with it.

“Cassandra, what else do you have to say? The waitress has made her statement. Shouldn’t you be admitting your guilt? You should kneel and beg for Yulissa’s forgiveness.” Leonardo felt that only such a punishment could make her learn her lessons. “Relax. Maybe after you know the truth, Yulissa should be the one who kneels and apologizes to me.” Cassandra took a recorder from her bag and said, “What a coincidence. | brought it with me to prevent Yulissa from slandering me again.”

‘Isn’t it a pleasant surprise?’ thought Cassandra.

Yulissa’s face turned pale instantly!

‘Dam n it, Cassandra. She recorded everything!’ thought Yulissa.

She aimed to sna tch it, but Cassandra adeptly dodged and pressed the play button.

“Cassandra, are you upset? Naturally, you would be. Mom, Dad, and the brothers only favor me and not you, after all.”

“Do you think | still care?”

“So, you intentionally arranged a storeroom for me to use as a bedroom upon my

return. You harassed me while falsely portraying to the entire clueless Yates family that | was the one mistreating you? Yulissa, is it really interesting to do all that?”

“You asked me to come here to listen to that?”

“No!” said Yulissa.

“Cassandra, answer me this. If you were to push me into the swimming pool, do you think Leo would take you to Desert Island? That’s a treasure he acquired unexpectedly.”

“Ah! Cassandra, help me!”

Cassandra’s recording ended there. At this point, everyone knew exactly what had happened.
