How Death Became My Rebirth (Cassandra Yates) novel Chapter 314

Chapter 314 

“Mr. Gomez, you flattere. It’s Drieso that gains strength with Modern Beacon Synergy’s presence,” Kenneth eplied. His words were polite but also reflected reality. 

Modern Beacon Synergy was indeed a formidable player. Kenneth had built upon the foundation of the Zelinski Group to grow it into the power it was currently. 

The elusive founder of Modern Beacon Synergy was said to have started from scratch in his youth. Kenneth naturally respected such an accomplishment. 

Timothy and Cyrus, the current president and vice president of Modern Beacon Synergy, were talents discovered by the company’s founder. Any previous friction. between Kenneth and Cyrus was chalked up to misunderstandings, thankfully with no lasting damage, as any harm might have caused Cassandra to resent Kenneth. 

“Ms. Yates, you look stunning!” Timothy said, his compliment reflecting genuine admiration. 

“Mr. Gomez, you’re flattering me,” Cassandra replied coldly. 

Emma, witnessing this exchange, was mad with jealousy. 

Emma had already learned that the man with Cassandra was Kenneth. Helen had mentioned to Emma that Kenneth was the man Richard intended to introduce to her. Emma thought, ‘Kenneth is supposed to be mine, the best man in the world. How dare Cassandra get close to him! 

She thought, ‘How shameless! 

‘She’s even playing games with Timothy and Cyrus. 

‘All her aloofness at school must be an act. Bitch!‘ 

Seeing Cassandra, Sofia and Cassidy couldn’t resist rushing up exclaiming, “Look! Our idol is there! That’s fantastic!” 

Over time, it became apparent that Sofia was the lively one, not Cassidy, who seemed tame as a kitten around Cassandra. 

“Cassie, you’re here too! If I had known earlier, we could have come together,” Cassidy said, sticking close to Cassandra but stopping short of enveloping her in at

Kenneth found himself edged out of his spot as the girls descended on Cassandra, causing him to involuntarily step to the side.

Keeping his distance from other women was instinctive. By the time he realized, reclaiming his place by Cassandra’s side was no longer an option. 

Cassandra smiled at the girls and said, “I had no idea you were coming. Ken and I had planned to attend together.” 

Cassandra’s intimate way of referring to Kenneth immediately stiffened the smile on Cyrus’s face. 

For Timothy and Cyrus, it was a shock to hear someone address Kenneth sof intimately. To the rest of the attendees, it was just as surprising. They all wondered who this person was, to so boldly use Kenneth’s nickname. 

Previously, women who dared call Kenneth by his first name were shown the door. But here, Cassandra’s familiar address went unchallenged, and to everyone’s astonishment, it was met with Kenneth’s radiant smile. 

Unbelievable! 

Kenneth was clearly pleased being called ‘Ken‘ by Cassandra, his earlier displeasure in the car vanishing in an instant. 

Timothy felt a chill of repulsion at the sweetness displayed and promptly suggested they help themselves. 

After everyone dispersed, several executives approached Kenneth to greet him and tried to discuss potential cooperation. 

Cassandra murmured an excuse to Kenneth before she wandered off. She aimed to reconnect with Sofia but was abruptly stopped in her tracks by Emma. 

“Cassandra, is this really a place for someone like you? Or did you seduce Mr. Zelinski into bringing you?” challenged Emma. 

Cassandra frowned, tired of Emma’s consistent targeting wherever she went. She responded coolly, “I don’t see what’s so significant about this gala. If you’re allowed. to be here, what stops me? And even if I was brought here by Kenneth, it’s none of your business, is it?”

Emma, furious, thought, How can this not concern me? Mr. Zelinski is my future boyfriend, not someone to be seen with that bitch!”

“It seems you’re nothing without a man, isn’t that right? Pretending to be aloof and pure at school, yet here you an, so bitchy, Emma accused. “You should know Mr. Zelinski is the man my grandfather is introducing to me, and he will be my boyfriend. You’d do well to steer clear of him. Did you understand that?” 

Cassandra slightly smirked, thinking Emma had apparently not learned her lesson from their last encounter in the principal’s office. Emma did not remember Kenneth’s warning there. 

Really? Maybe I should call Ken over to acquaint himself with his ‘future girlfriend,” Cassandra said mockingly. 

Emma’s gaze flickered with insecurity, yet she maintained a tough front while looking at Cassandra. “Cut the crap. Once my grandfather connects me with Mr. Zelinski, you’ll be sidelined!” 

Emma’s grandfather was a retired high–ranking military commander, and she was convinced Kenneth would favor her. 

“So, you’re dreaming now, is that it?” Cassandra said with a sigh. She had seen dreamers before, but never one quite so deluded. 

“What are you saying? I’ll break your face!” Emma screamed, stepping forward, “Bitch, how dare you lure in Mr. Zelinski?” 

Her hand shot out to slap Cassandra, but it was abruptly seized. A crisp slap echoed 

-smack! 

“Ouch!” Emma was slapped. Her eyes reddened with fury, and she glared at Cassandra with murderous intent, as if she wished she could kill her. 

Helen rushed to Emma’s side, shielding her and demanding furiously, “Cassandra, how dare you strike my daughter?” 

“So she’s allowed to strike and I can’t defend myself?” Cassandra’s cold laugh conveyed her contempt.
