The Returned Heiress Who Had It All (Cassia) novel Chapter 137

Chapter 137 Checking if She’s Crazy

“When have you ever actually cared about me? Forget all that other stuff–just one simple thing. Did you ever give me pocket money?”

“That’s because you never wanted it!” Vance shot back, thinking he’d been fair to Cassia, Brie, and Danica. Ever since bringing Cassia back, he’d been offering her money, but she’d refused.

“Every time I got pocket money, it was just scraps left over from Brie and Danica. You’d rather give it to an adopted daughter than your own blood. Do you really think I’d want that kind of money? Even a beggar wouldn’t bother with it.”

Instead of feeling guilty, Vance got defensive. To him, Cassia was being unreasonable.

“So how much do you want? Look at yourself all day doing nothing. Brie excels at everything–music, chess, literature, you name it. And Danica? Top ten in every exam. They’re talented and hardworking. How can you even compare yourself to them?!”

Vance realized he might have overstepped when he saw the mocking look in Cassia’s eyes.

“What I mean is, if you want pocket money like theirs, you’ve got to earn it and reach their level.”

Cassia gave a cool, slightly wild smile.

“I’ll never reach Brie or Danica’s level in this lifetime.”

“You-” Vance pressed a hand to his temple, a headache stabbing him.

He’d started softening toward her, and now she was making him angry again. She was going to be the death of him.

Vance stared at Cassia’s unflinching gaze, ignoring the pounding in his head.

If Brie were around, that sweet, thoughtful girl would be rubbing his back, helping him calm down.

Then, Danica would throw herself into his arms, acting all cute.

Watching Cassia, an idea slowly clicked in Vance’s head.

She was already 18. In two years, she’d be ready to marry.

He could find her a good match and settle her down. That way, he wouldn’t have to deal with seeing her around the house all the time.

But he couldn’t just marry her off to anyone. Ideally, it should be someone who could help him in his career. Cassia had a fiery temper, but she was gorgeous. Finding a wealthy family with good standing shouldn’t be too tough.

Just like that guy he’d noticed while following her, who clearly liked her a lot.

While Vance mulled over which family might be suitable, Cassia had already turned and headed upstairs.

“Cassia, where are you going?” Vance called. “You need to come with me to the orphanage. Mr. Zimmer. said he invited a psychologist from abroad.”

“And then?” Cassia’s eyes dropped, her gaze calm but sharp as she looked at him.

Being stared at like that, Vance felt like she could see straight into his thoughts.

That secret he’d buried deep inside couldn’t stay hidden anymore, and the fear of it coming out…

“I don’t mean anything else. I just-”

“You want him to check if I’m crazy?” Cassia interrupted.

Vance froze, speechless.

Cassia’s narrowed eyes tracked his every ugly twitch and dodge.

He couldn’t get a single word out. Almost as tall as her, he felt a tingle on his scalp, and a chill ran down his spine under her gaze.

Bang! The door slammed hard behind him.

Just as he moved toward her room, the door opened.

Cassia slung a small bag over her shoulder, went down the stairs, passed right by him, and left the manor.

Is she actually going?

Vance was briefly stunned.

Cassia had only gone to her room to grab her stuff.

Her trip to the orphanage wasn’t because of Vance–it was for that autistic boy.

As the car approached the orphanage, Cassia overheard people talking outside.

Through the window, she saw a car already parked by the entrance.
