Chapter 934

Ashlyn was wearing a white dress that accentuated her figure. On her ears were a pair of elegant earrings with long tassels adorned with countless crushed diamonds that complemented her alluring visual.

She lifted her eyes, meeting Lucas’ passionate gaze, and patted him on the back of his hand.

“Patience.”

Just then, there was a commotion at the entrance.

Cassandra yawned, looking in that direction casually. She saw a tall man walking toward them with a woman holding his arm.

Cassandra’s heart raced when she realized who the man and the woman were. She had never expected to see Richard Shaw and Shiela Jensen there.

Richard’s charming features made it hard for others to stare him in the eyes as he stood in the crowd with a domineering aura indicative of his top status. His every move exuded elegance.

Standing beside him was the gorgeous and graceful Shiela. They looked compatible as they linked arms with each other.

Cassandra’s heart clenched in pain. She knew she was no longer related to the Jensen family or Richard anymore. Everything had long since ended.

She lowered her eyes instantly. By the time she lifted her head, she had perfectly concealed her emotions.

But even so, Spencer observed that her mood had changed. He couldn’t help but wonder what was wrong.

In the middle of his conversation with Shiela, Richard looked up casually to see Ashlyn sitting beside Lucas. His heart throbbed with pain.

He noticed Cassandra standing behind Ashlyn looking all lovely and innocent. However, Richard also realized her gaze no longer followed his every move.

He walked toward the two women.

With a frown, Shiela hurried after him.

“Ashlyn.” Richard’s husky voice sounded from above Ashlyn. She raised her head, meeting Richard’s eyes.

A grin appeared on Ashlyn’s face as she stood up. “Richard, you’re here too?”

Even though Ashlyn sounded affectionate as she spoke, Richard was instantly snapped back to reality.

He suppressed the pain in his heart and reached out to caress Ashlyn’s head dotingly without messing up her hair.

Then, he turned to Cassandra as though he had just spotted her. “Cass, why didn’t you say hi to me?”

It had been a few months since they had last seen each other. Although Richard acted as if they were still siblings, Cassandra didn’t want to look at him at all.

She didn’t feel any sadness, only a hint of helplessness.

Forget it! Richard is not someone I can pursue. His fiancée is Shiela Jensen, and they are about to hold their engagement party soon. Who am I to say anything? I was adopted by the Jensen family. I’m a fake socialite! What right do I have to have a crush on Richard? If Shiela is an angel from heaven, then I’m a pile of mud on the ground.

Cassandra finally felt free at the moment, her expression betraying her emotions. However, she didn’t notice that Richard’s expression had changed drastically.

She greeted, “Richard, Shiela, it’s been a while!”

“Cassandra, Mom and Dad miss you! Why haven’t you been home lately?” Shiela smiled gracefully, giving Cassandra a once-over. “You’re still into this style, huh? It makes you look like a child. How could you wear these clothes to this event? If you don’t have any other outfits, I can buy them for you.

Don’t wear these anymore.”

Cassandra stared at Shiela’s beautifully made-up face expressionlessly. “Thank you for your concern, Shiela. I don’t like expensive clothes; I’m into these cheap clothes instead. It’s too bad, isn’t it? After all, I’m a wild child!”

Richard furrowed his brows, looking at Cassandra unhappily. “Don’t be rude, Cassandra. Shiela is just being kind.”

Cassandra kept her thoughts to herself. Same old Richard! He always thinks Shiela is the best and the kindest woman in the world!
