Chapter 586 You Are Free Now
Cassie rolled her eyes. “You say it like it’s so easy. If I could easily overthrow him, the Clinton Corporations wouldn’t even be growing at such terrifying speed under his leadership.”
“As long as you’re patient and willing to listen to me, I can guarantee that Oscar will become yours again,” proposed Jennifer.
Her words, however, did not seem convincing enough to Cassie, and that had her asking, “You have a plan?”
“Well, let’s just wait and see. Come, let’s have some food first. We’ll talk about it while we wait for our food.”
The duo had a simple dinner, and it was already ten o’clock at night. When they were in the car, Jennifer stared at the neon lights and scenery outside the car as she said, “Cassie, I suggest that you imitate Amelia. With your similar presence and aura, it wouldn’t be hard for you to imitate her.”
Cassie looked at her in disbelief as Jennifer’s words ignited the anger in her. She clenched her fists and scoffed, “Do you have any idea what you’re talking about? Are you kidding me? How can I bring myself to imitate a person I despise so much?”
“Do you really want Oscar’s attention again?”
Jennifer’s question seemingly pierced through Cassie’s heart like a sharp knife.
“Amelia must have her own ways to be able to win Oscar’s attention and love. I don’t think looks are the only factor in it. There must be some other traits that Oscar likes about her. Only by being talented and good-looking would you be able to attract the attention of all successful men. As a pianist, you are already very unique, so by dressing yourself beautifully and imitating Amelia, you will be able to win against her,” suggested Jennifer.
Hearing this, Cassie was moved, and she asked, “Are you sure?”
“Trust me, just do exactly what I say. I will get you someone who can guide you on how to cultivate the same vibe as Amelia before having you recruited into the company. By having a job and becoming a professional, you will be able to build up more confidence,” proposed Jennifer. “The crucial point here is that you must have the Yard family and the Clintons’ relationship repaired in order for the two families to cooperate in business again. With that, the chances of you running into Oscar will spike tremendously.”
Cassie lowered her head and agreed silently.
“Okay, fine. I will believe in you this time, but my father and mother are very stubborn. I’ll see what I can do about that.” Cassie frowned as she spoke.
Jennifer nodded, and without saying much, she stepped onto the accelerator pedal, speeding through the traffic and overtaking other vehicles. As a glint of madness showed on her face, she asked, “Cassie, why don’t we do some speeding?”
Cassie sat straight up as Jennifer’s madness spread toward her.
“Let’s go! It will be better if we catch the police’s attention, for the excitement of being pursued by police is more than satisfying! It’s been a long time since I tasted this excitement!” shouted Cassie.
Jennifer had the pedal pushed to the limit, increasing the car’s speed to a dangerous level. Her car sped through several red lights, and after almost hitting pedestrians and causing several accidents, she was now being chased by three police vehicles. Jennifer’s driving techniques were actually incredible, allowing her to narrowly escape from the encirclements of the police as she headed straight toward the highway before stopping at the beach.
As soon as she stopped her car, Jennifer let out an excited scream like a peacock that had won its fight.
Cassie, too, was very excited as she said, “I didn’t think that you’d be so good at driving. We should have a race next time! I will bet you a generous reward if you win against me! How about that?”
“You think I’m afraid of you? I have more than enough money to bet!” replied Jennifer confidently.
Cassie snapped her fingers and said, “You know, I realize that we’re both quite similar. Aside from being hypocrites, we love to play, and we clearly know what we like and hate. We had toyed with men’s feelings when we didn’t understand what true love was. But when we realized our feelings, we become the toys of the men we loved.”
Jennifer smiled slightly, seemingly not denying her words.
“Want to go have a walk with me? Soaking in the water is actually a good way to relieve your stress when you’re unhappy,” suggested Jennifer.
“Then how about a swimming competition? Hehe, two beauties swimming in the ocean late in the night… Don’t you think that makes us seem like mermaids?”
“I’m in if you really want to. We’re now in the same boat, after all.”
The duo then started walking toward the beach, only to run into a shady figure walking in their direction from another side.
“Hmph, there’s an idiot walking around on the beach alone at night over there,” Cassie said in disdain.
“Forget about that person. Let’s go.”
But when they had gotten closer, Jennifer stopped walking while hesitation flickered in her eyes when she had a clearer look at the figure walking around.
“What’s wrong?” asked Cassie.
Her words pulled Jennifer’s attention back, and the latter forced a smile on her face and replied, “Nothing, I just didn’t think that I would run into someone I know at such an odd hour.”
Cassie turned her head around and noticed that this person was someone she knew as well.
“Why is he here?” Cassie asked as her brows furrowed.
When they both saw the person, the person also noticed their presence.
He then walked toward them and glanced at Cassie before turning toward Jennifer.
“Jennifer, why are you here with her?” asked the person.
