When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1834 Does Not Deserve

It was the first time Cassandra had been slapped so openly.

She was breathing heavily, her eyes full of shock. The naïve cousin, who once practically worshipped her, had surprisingly raised a hand against her! "Yuliana, just you wait!"

Yuliana crossed her arms over her chest, looking down at her with an air of superiority. "Wait for what? For you to emerge decades later, old and faded?"

That sentence nearly sent Cassandra into shambles. "I won't end up in prison. Someone will definitely come to rescue me."

"Oh, who's going to come to your rescue?" Yuliana asked.

Cassandra was rendered speechless.

Originally, Yuliana was her last lifeline, but she had managed to mess that up.

Seeing her at a loss for words, Yuliana continued to twist the knife. "Let me tell you, I've not been idling these past few days. I had someone look into Nicholas. Do you know what he's been up to?"

When that terrifying man, Nicholas, was mentioned, a great shock seized Cassandra's heart. "What is he doing?"

"He's been meeting potential partners everywhere. He's probably seen every eligible lady in town by now. I can't figure out why he's in such a rush to get married. Could it be he's trying to move on from you quickly?"

Upon hearing that, Cassandra couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. "Whoever married such a man would bring a disaster upon themselves."

Her innocence was entirely ruined by Nicholas.

Yuliana propped her chin, somewhat puzzled by Cassandra's words. "Didn't you really like him?"

Cassandra involuntarily tightened her grip when she heard the word "like." "He doesn't deserve anyone's affection."

"Why?" Yuliana's interest was piqued.

Cassandra went silent because that incident caused her agony that would last her entire life.

Yuliana's curiosity intensified. "What exactly did Nicholas do?"

"What's it to you?" Cassandra refused to answer.

Yuliana didn't press further. "It's none of my business, but our feud isn't over yet. Brace yourself for what's to come."

She rose to her feet, and as she was about to leave, she turned to the

"Understood," replied the lawyer.

Yuliana might have been a bit naïve, even a little foolish, but that didn't mean she was without a temper. It certainly didn't imply she was penniless or lacked resources.

Cassandra returned in a state of despair, unaware her nightmare was about to descend.

Meanwhile, Nicholas was seated on the couch in his company and drank water, his gaze fixating on the scene outside.

The weather had been growing increasingly colder recently, and light snow had begun to drift down outside that day.

"Jocelyn," called Nicholas.

However, the one who walked in was a different secretary. "Mr. Nicholas, Ms. Wright has gone for her engagement. Have you forgotten?"

Ripples of emotion stirred within the depths of Nicholas' profound gaze. Right, how could I have forgotten? She

to get engaged.

"How long has she been gone?" Nicholas asked.

"About two days. She should be back soon, I think," the secretary responded.

Nicholas took another sip of water. "Understood. You may leave now."

After hearing that, the secretary couldn't help but express her confusion. “You don't have anything for me to do, Mr. Nicholas?"

She initially thought that Nicholas had called Jocelyn over for some matter.

"No, get out," Nicholas said again, his tone laced with a hint of impatience. "Understood." The secretary had also picked up on it and immediately retreated from the office.

After she left, Nicholas lost his motivation to work. He shut down his computer and stepped out of the door.

Upon reaching the underground parking garage, Nicholas drove away.noveldrama

Nicholas had no idea where he was going. He kept driving aimlessly, and before he knew it, he had parked in front of a hospital.
