The scene of Samantha being attacked was soon posted online, triggering a wave of comments, which the Lewis family soon caught wind of.

Cassandra was having a meal with her rich lady friends in an attempt to strike potential partnerships.

"Mrs. Jackson, I heard that Lionscape Enterprise has been busy with a new project. Could you give Lewis Enterprise a chance to work with you on that?"

Mrs. Jackson burst out laughing, but her eyes were cold and disdainful. "Mrs. Lewis, you must be joking. The Lewis family is so powerful; you didn't give a damn about me in the past. Why are you suddenly looking for a chance to partner with us?"

"Exactly, Mrs. Lewis. Things on your end are in such a mess right now. I suppose you haven't seen the video that was just posted online?"

Cassandra knew these ladies wouldn’t pass up the chance to mock her. When Lewis Enterprise was thriving, she had her nose in the air when others went to her to plead for favors. The tables had now turned; now, she was the one pleading with others. Cassandra suppressed the anger rising in her chest and forced a smile on her face.

"Why, Mrs. Jackson! We've known each other for so many years, and we're good friends. What's more, this is a win-win situation we're talking about. If Lewis Enterprise partners with you and boosts your company's brand, more partners will come knocking on your door."

"Alright, Mrs. Lewis. That’s quite enough now. Take a look at the videos posted online before you come asking me for a collaboration. I dare say that no one here would dare to collaborate with you."

Cassandra was still confused. "What do you mean by that?"

She pulled out her phone; seeing the trending headline, she immediately knew it was bad news. She clicked on the video to play it.

In the clip, Samantha was kneeling on the ground while Rachel was showing the crowd a video of William kissing Samantha. The conversation itself was embarrassing enough. Cassandra wanted nothing more than to dig a hole to bury herself in. Her face flushed with humiliation; she pursed her lips, lowering her head in shame.

Samantha was trying to humiliate the entire Lewis family! What on earth was she doing, going to Rachel?

Rachel was no good, either. Still, her death made Cassandra feel quite guilty. A life was lost, after all. On second thought, her disappearance was the only way William and Samantha’s marriage could stabilize. Having all three of them around was a recipe for disaster. Who knew that Rachel would one day be back after five years of peace! What a catastrophe!

The more she thought, the more Cassandra felt a spring headache coming on. She didn’t read all the comments below the video; by the time she was halfway through, she felt blood drain from her face and was on the verge of fainting.

Cassandra made an excuse to leave, too embarrassed to stay any longer. "I’m… I’m sorry, I have to go. Let's gather again another day."

"Don’t forget about the charity dinner tonight, Mrs. Lewis. Remember to bring your daughter-in-law too,” one of the rich ladies reminded her.

Cassandra gripped her handbag tightly, utterly ashamed by what Samantha had done. The moment she stepped out of the hotel, she gave Samantha a call.
