Chapter 190

Evelyn and Victoria returned to the hospital room to collect their things, eager to get home and smooth things over with Gregory.

The moment they stepped inside, they found Evelyn lounging lazily in a chair, eyes shut, clearly enjoying a peaceful nap.

The sight alone was enough to ignite fury in the already desperate mother and daughter.

Cassandra lunged forward, hand raised to shove Evelyn awake—but Evelyn caught her wrist mid-motion, grip tightening as her eyes fluttered open.

"Why sneak in just to attack me?" Evelyn asked, voice thick with sleep.

Cassandra yanked her arm back with a scowl. "This is all your fault, Evelyn."

Victoria nodded bitterly. "She definitely orchestrated everything!"

Evelyn tilted her head, feigning confusion. "How? Everything that happened today was your own doing, wasn’t it?"

Cassandra clenched her teeth, ready to strike—when two sharp knocks interrupted.

Both women turned to see Sebastian Monroe, Newmoon Group’s vice president, standing in the doorway, one hand still raised from knocking.

Cassandra’s expression shifted instantly into a polite smile. "Mister Sebastian! What brings you here?"

A cold smirk played on Sebastian’s lips. "Your assistant told me you were here."

Cassandra’s mind raced. My assistant? Evelyn? Then she remembered—Sebastian had once confessed his feelings for Evelyn at first sight.

Her jealousy flared as she asked carefully, "So, you’re here for...?"

Sebastian finished for her. "You, Miss Cassandra. I’m here for you."

Relief washed over Cassandra, and she shot Evelyn a smug look. "This must be about the endorsement deal. Don’t worry, Mister Sebastian, I’ll cooperate fully!"

Sebastian stepped forward, handing her a document. "Good. This is the termination agreement for your contract. Sign here."

Cassandra’s smile froze. "Termination? But we just signed yesterday!"

"Have you checked the trending news? Your scandals are everywhere. Our contract clearly states we can terminate if the endorser’s reputation is compromised."

Scandals? Cassandra scrambled for her phone, face paling as she saw the hashtags:

#CassandraTheHomewrecker

#CassandraBlackwoodExposed

The videos showed blurred faces, but it was unmistakable—Vincent Blackwood had protected himself and his wife, leaving Cassandra to drown in the backlash.
