Chapter 533 A Psychopath
“Ms. Yard, Amelia has already taken Oscar away from you. Are you going to let her do the same to your fiancé now?” asked Jennifer, sneering. She had intentionally asked that question to fan Cassie’s flames of jealousy.
With an aggrieved look on her face, Cassie ground her teeth in hatred. “I will never let June fall in love with Amelia, even if it means destroying him.”
With the corners of her mouth arched upward, Jennifer revealed a smug smile on her face.
“If only you realized this sooner, Ms. Yard. Perhaps, Oscar will not be taken away,” said Jennifer mockingly. She was determined to add fuel to the fire with her words.
Feeling rather humiliated by rage, Cassie glared at Jennifer. “Are you saying that I’m dumb?”
“Ms. Yard, I can’t do anything if you insist on thinking that way. This time, I’ve made a mistake coming to see you. Initially, I thought I got myself an intelligent and amicable partner that I can get along with. I guess my assumptions are wrong,” said Jennifer as she shrugged her shoulders. She added, “I think you don’t need me as your partner anymore, Ms. Yard. Hence, I’ll make a move first.”
“Stop right there!” Cassie stood up and extended her hand to Jennifer. She said, “It’s a pleasure to know you.”
Next, Jennifer broke into a grin as the corners of her mouth arched up. She said, “Ms. Yard, congratulations on making a smart decision.”
When the duo shook hands, their eyes met instantly. They sized each other up with a judgmental look, revealing a manipulative gaze.
Cassie said, “I hope you really have a plan that works this time. If you let me down again, I am going to make sure you pay for it with your life.”
Jennifer sniggered and replied, “Ms. Yard, your words are amusing indeed.”
Instantly, Cassie’s face fell when she heard that.
“Okay, don’t get mad. I’ll help you think of a plan. If you want to go back to Oscar, you have to change your temperament. I heard Oscar likes women who are gentle yet resolute. Isn’t Amelia like that? You can become gentler toward him. Shower him with niceness without compromising your dignity. That is how you can extend the bait to him. Do you understand? You come from a wealthy family, after all. I’m sure you know how to act in accordance with circumstances,” said Jennifer, who assumed she had a great plan.
Meanwhile, Cassie ruminated in her thoughts.
“It’s getting late, so I ought to go back. We will contact each other again if there’s time,” said Jennifer. She wanted Cassie to take her number down, so she said, “Ms. Yard, if you don’t mind, just record my number down. You may get in touch with me if anything happens. I will respond to you immediately.”
Cassie took down Jennifer’s number and placed a missed call on the latter’s phone.
Jennifer waved her hand a few times and said, “I shall not take up too much of your time, Ms. Yard. I’ll make a move first.”
After Jennifer left, Cassie sat alone in the pavilion. She ran through various thoughts in her mind. After clearing her thoughts, her angry temperament gradually simmered down.
Cassie got up and left after she sat for a while more. Then, she drove back to the Yard Manor. Once Cassie arrived and got out of the car, she noticed June strolling leisurely. Cassie had felt good earlier on after spending some time alone. After she saw June, her good mood vanished in the blink of an eye.
After scurrying over to June with hurried footsteps, Cassie glared furiously at him.
When June saw Cassie, he grinned devilishly. “Honey, you are back! I’ve been waiting for a few hours for you,” said June. He reached over to hold Cassie’s waist, but the latter evaded his move.
With her eyes narrowed, Cassie questioned June, “Did you go and see Amelia?”
June opened his arms wide in nonchalance. Then he chortled and replied, “Honey, even if I had a relationship with Amelia in the past, you are the one I love most in my heart. It’s true.”
Cassie was livid. What a shameless man! It’s perverse and low-down! How despicable!
Instantly, those menacing words flashed past continuously in Cassie’s mind.
“June, just how shameless can you get? You should know that Amelia is the woman I hate most. Why are you still in endless entanglements with her? Do you really hate me so much?” uttered Cassie as she gritted her teeth in anger.
Even after June heard those words, the sinister smile on his face remained constant. No matter how Cassie looked at him, she found his menacing smile exceptionally irksome.
“Baby, how can you say that? I’m doing all this for your sake. Once I get hold of Amelia, you can make use of the opportunity to take Oscar back. That way, we can both get what we want. Aren’t you happy about that? I don’t think you look particularly happy to me. Please don’t tell me you are actually jealous?” said June. After that, the latter looked in jest at Cassie.
Cassie revealed a panicked look on her face as if someone had exposed her secret. As she took two steps back instinctively, she noticed the playful look in June’s gaze. Instantly, she knew June was teasing her again.
By this time, Cassie felt fury had raged through her chest. Feeling embarrassed, Cassie shouted furiously, “June, don’t try to test me with a method like that. I would rather be jealous of a beast. I will feel no jealousy for a despicable, shameless, and perverse scoundrel like you. In my eyes, you are nothing but a thoroughly disgusting parasite.”
