A Graduation Gift novel Chapter 269

Cassandra entered her apartment, extremely exhausted.

The past few days had been torturous for her and had consumed all her energy. Fortunately, she had made out alive. She felt pretty lucky about that.

The unicorn still lay beside her pillow. Cassandra turned on her side and looked up at its glassy eyes.

They seemed gentle and adorable, almost smiling at her. But tonight, Cassandra couldn't reciprocate.

The man who had given her this very unicorn might never be able to come back to her. And from now on, she would have to face the reality alone and undertake everything that followed.

Suddenly, someone knocked on her door. Cassandra knitted her eyebrows at the sound of it. Who could it be, at this hour?

She walked to the door, tying her hair in a loose bun. She peeped through the eyehole and then opened the door instantly.

"Ivy? What are you doing here?"

Cassandra put her guard up immediately, looking at the uninvited visitor standing at her door right now.

"I heard you've been let out. So I came to check up on how everything is going."

Ivy smiled, as if she was completely oblivious to the resistance Cassandra exerted against her.

"Thank you for your concern. I'm fine and I'm going to rest now. Thanks again, for dropping by. Bye."

Cassandra tried to end the conversation immediately. When she recalled that Ivy had intentionally designed an accident to set her up and replace her position in the Tang family, she reminded herself to be alert around her, no matter what she said or did.

"What's the hurry? Relax. This is your apartment. I'm your guest. Don't be so nervous."

Ivy reached out to push the door open and entered directly into the living room against Cassandra's wish.

She went straight to sit on the couch. She looked quite relaxed, her eyes lazily moving all over the apartment, scrutinizing.

The only traces around were that of a woman, nothing of a man's. Was she wrong, then? Wasn't Rufus living here with her?

Cassandra had no choice but to let Ivy be, who perhaps didn't realize she was intruding.

"If you have something to say, say it, and then leave because I really need to rest."

Cassandra was exhausted. She didn't have the energy or the will to engage with Ivy or anyone else at the moment. All she wanted was to get some sleep and get up recharged in the morning. She hadn't been able to deal with any business activities of Qin Group since she had gotten detention. She was afraid of the company would become a total mess in her absence.

"The detention house must have been dreadful, isn't it? But I must say, you were commendable! You really dared to push her over the rails! Three freaking floors, for god's sake! You must be addicted to pushing people down. What a freak!"

Ivy had her tongue in her cheek. Not only her words were stingily sarcastic, there was also a touch of a faint sneer on the corner of her lips.

"Ivy, I didn't push you down the stairs. You know that better than anyone. You know how you lost your child!

And as far as this accident is concerned, I've been let out, which means I wasn't guilty. So you better shut up with your nonsense,"
