A Graduation Gift novel Chapter 108

As per Cassandra, Rufus was a symbol of calmness. She had never seen him lose his composure.

'Had someone hurt him? But who was able to do that?'

At the sight of Cassandra standing in front of the President's office, Rufus's assistant hurriedly pressed a button.

"Mr Luo, Manager Qin is here to see you."

Several seconds later, Rufus's languid reply came, "Let her in."

Cassandra steeled herself against all her thoughts and doubts, took one last look at herself and strode into the office.

He had recovered and was waiting for her, sitting behind his desk.

"Mr Luo, the owner of the script is Joel, I would like to report this revelation to the police right away."

Cassandra was resolute. However, aside from his knitting eyebrows, Rufus's terse reply was also surprising.

"I don't think it is a good solution for now. If he divulges all his actions, all your previous pains to hold them back was in vain."

Rufus seemed to have already prepared for this.

To allow the lady to find the answer herself, he had instructed Victor to place Joel's report on top of the stack of files. Thus, making it very easy for Cassandra.

As expected, Cassandra demanded that the case be handed over to the police immediately. However, this action would not serve its purpose. It would instead create a scandal that would bring to the front the fact that she had been drugged by Joel. Her reputation would suffer.

In truth, he had made sure Joel was being watched. He was just waiting for the right time to catch him.

He planned to negotiate with Joel to ensure that he confessed to the charge of plagiarism. He was not evil enough to compromise on his reputation knowingly.

As for his sister Ivy, she was an untamed bomb in the Tang family, yet she might be used for something later.

Rufus had everything measured out; therefore, any reaction from the pretty woman wouldn't surprise him.

"All right. I will send someone to look into it, it will be better for us to get to him before the police do."

Rufus gazed at her unemotionally. Watching his face in front of her, Cassandra could not associate his current calmness to his ferocity from earlier, which she heard from outside the room.

'Maybe I was being paranoid?', she doubted herself.

Rufus stood up, made his way to Cassandra. He reached over and gently smoothed a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

"Don't worry about that! You have me."

Cassandra looked up, into his dark brown eyes.

"Fetus: 28 weeks; heart rate: 135 times per minute..."

Lying in bed, Ivy appeared to be listening to her doctor attentively, yet she was gripped by anxiety inside.

She knew it was getting more and more inconvenient for her to move around since her belly had grown so much bigger. What was worse, she had made no progress according to her plan yet.

These days, Cassandra left early in the morning and came back home late at night; she found no overlapping chance to have a talk with her.

Ivy walked out of the Ultrasound Room with the analysis report. At the sight of her, Lionel got up and walked over to her to inspect the report himself.

"So, everything seems alright?"

asked Lionel while he scanned the report.

"Yes, it is healthy. I am afraid my belly will grow like an inflated balloon after thirty weeks."

Ivy looked a little downcast. Lionel suspected that it was due to her fear that she won't recover her figure post giving birth.

Lionel felt hopeful seeing the reports of his baby's steady development.

Horace cared deeply for Ivy. He had given special instructions to Jill to prepare the tonic herself for Ivy.

Lionel felt content watching his family bustle around awaiting his baby.

The election for the Director of the Union was imminent. The Tang group stood the highest chance to win. If they succeeded they would benefit from the identity greatly, regardless of any business expansion.

The Tang group was set on a promising future and Lionel would not easily allow it to fall in the hands of Rufus.

When both of them returned home, Horace was animatedly chatting with Jill.
