Chapter 478 Winning An Argument
Cassie pushed June away and jumped down from the bed despite the pain. Then, she quickly took out a black and white business suit from the closet and put it on in front of him before leaving the bedroom without turning back.
June calmly got off the bed as he already had his fill. He found Cassie’s occasional resistance rather exciting. To him, the two of them were like cat and mouse. Cassie was the little mouse who tried her best to run while he enjoyed the chase, playing with Cassie in his palm, gradually shedding her dignity. By the time he was done with her, she would belong to him entirely and she wouldn’t have the notion of running away anymore.
For so many years, he had been casting his net and patiently waiting for the fish to take the bait. He believed that Cassie would eventually be his. However, to Cassie, his methods were ruthless. He was like a pervert. But to him, these actions were just his way of loving her.
Cassie ran downstairs, but Elizabeth stopped her. “Cassie, where are you going? It’s almost time for dinner.”
Cassie looked at Elizabeth with her teary eyes and said in a hoarse voice, “Mom, you’re killing me by letting me be with that pervert. If you like him that much, why don’t you and dad make him your son?”
With that, she ran out of the house.
Elizabeth was confused. She didn’t know what had happened at all.
June came down shortly after, wearing white clothes and black pants, looking like a handsome and cultured gentleman.
“Mrs. Yard,” June said politely.
Elizabeth fiddled with her hair and asked, “June, what happened to you and Cassie?”
“Don’t worry, Mrs. Yard. We just had a little argument. It’s fine. I’ll look for her later and apologize to her.”
“That girl,” Elizabeth said while shaking her head. “You’ve been so nice to her, but she doesn’t know how to appreciate it. She has always been doing things her way, and it’s my fault for spoiling her too much. Don’t let her get too far. We’ll leave her alone for now. Let’s eat.”
“Mrs. Yard, I’m afraid I won’t be joining you. I have to look for her. It’s only natural that I care for my woman. It doesn’t matter if she is stubborn. If I don’t care for her, who else will?” June’s expression was gentle when he spoke about Cassie. His eyes were shimmering with adoration as he portrayed the perfect boyfriend who pampered his girlfriend.
Elizabeth became even more pleased with June.
“June, it must be tough on you.”
“Not at all, Mrs. Yard. She’s cute even when she’s stubborn or arrogant, or even when she gets angry and chases me away. I love her so much that her flaws became her best quality.” June smiled. “I’ll be leaving, Mrs. Yard. I’ll come back with Cassie to have a meal with you someday. I have to go coax her now. Otherwise, she will make a fuss and start saying that I don’t love her at all.” June spoke affectionately as if Cassie was a cute little girl who loved to make a fuss in a relationship.
After June left, Elizabeth nodded with satisfaction. Her daughter had finally found a good place to call home. However, she didn’t know that her future son-in-law, who seemed perfect on the surface, had been bringing her daughter to inappropriate places to demoralize her constantly. He had indulged in the gratifying process of her corruption to the point where she was one step away from the point of no return.
Elizabeth was unaware of it. Hence, she became more and more satisfied with June, and she adored June more than Cassie.
Cassie drove straight to Clinton Corporations. She parked her car and went directly into the building. However, she was stopped by the receptionist before she could get into the elevator.
“Miss, do you have an appointment?” the receptionist asked politely.
Cassie looked at the receptionist and didn’t recognize her. “Are you new?”
“The previous receptionist has resigned.” Seeing that Cassie was dressed luxuriously and knew that there was a new receptionist, the receptionist didn’t dare offend her with a tough attitude. “Miss, who are you looking for? Do you have an appointment with someone?”
