“If you really want to end up like that hot–headed general from history,” Cassia said coldly, “then keep doing things your way.”

Buck said nothing.

He shrank in fright and nodded quickly like a scared kitten.

“Everyone, take the list for your department,” Cassia went on. “You’re all veterans of the Crows. You know

what to do.”

She pushed the stack of papers to the center of the table.

“Meeting adjourned.”

After finishing the gang business, Cassia returned to Dunstino Bay and went straight to sleep.

The next day was Sunday. Cassia slept until two in the afternoon.

After that, she drove Sterling to the orphanage.

Cassia and Peter sat on the couch. Sterling leaned quietly against Cassia for a while, then ran outside to play with the other kids.

Peter’s eyes went wide. He stared at Sterling, stunned by the change.

The other caregivers at the orphanage were just as shocked. They could hardly believe what they were seeing.

They had heard from Peter that Cassia had helped Sterling recover.

A high school student helping a child with such severe autism improve this much?

That sounded unbelievable.

When Peter heard Cassia say that Sterling could go to school now, he broke down in tears. He was so grateful he could barely speak.

If Cassia had not stopped him with a look, Peter would have rushed over and grabbed her hands to thank her properly.

“Thank you. Thank you so much,” Peter said, wiping his tears with his sleeve. “If it weren’t for you, Sterling wouldn’t have gotten better this fast. I really didn’t waste that monthly payment.”

“Monthly payment?”

Cassia paused, her hand stopping mid–air as she lifted her cup.

“Yes. Every month,” Peter said, confused. “I sent you 10,000 dollars.”

Chapter 394 The Missing Papers

Did he say something wrong?

“Right,” Peter said. “I asked you to take care of Sterling. He eats your food, uses your things, and you look after him. I felt awful about it, so I sent money for living expenses. But your father has been collecting it. Didn’t he tell you?”

“No,” Cassia said flatly.

“Oh,” Peter frowned. “Your father always took the money so naturally. I thought you asked him to collect it for you. I assumed he passed it on to you.”

He never expected Vance to be that kind of person.

“Haha,” Cassia sneered. “Now you know what kind of person he is.”

Then she got back to the point. “I came today for two reasons,” Cassia said. “First, to let you see how Sterling is doing. Second, I need to ask, Where is Sterling’s legal residency registered?”

City or town residency made a huge difference when it came to school placement.

“Sterling’s residency…” Peter thought for a moment. “His parents left him with me before they could register it. Later, with his autism, he couldn’t attend school anyway. I figured it didn’t really matter.”

“He doesn’t have legal residency?” Cassia frowned.

She didn’t know if Sterling was aware of this.

If he knew, how hurt must he have felt?

Cassia remembered that when Sterling arrived at the orphanage, he was already seven years old.

Seven years old. How could Gary and Fiona not have had time to put his name on legal papers?

Cassia felt it again; Sterling truly needed to leave this family for good.

What kinds of parents don’t register their children?

Oh, right. Those parents do exist. Wasn’t Vance exactly the same?

Peter seemed to realize what Cassia was thinking. Guilt slowly showed on his face.

“I’ll have my son and daughter–in–law register Sterling right away!” Peter said quickly.

“Don’t bother,” Cassia waved her hand. “Sterling is his own person. Where he goes and who he lives with should be his choice.”

What did she mean by that?
