Chapter 16 % In the following days , Samuel drank heavily in his room .
Cassandra had used ruthless methods to crush his company , forcing him to get a divorce .
From that moment on , Cassandra was no longer his wife .
} When Samuels parents discovered that Cassandra was now the president of Hurricane Group , they tried several times to visit her , but she refused to see them .
They wouldnt stop complaining when he returned .
Regret filled their hearts .
If only they had known Cassandras biological parents were so wealthy , they would have treated her well from the start .
They scolded Samuel for not cherishing Cassandra , blaming him for letting go of such a gold mine .
Learning about their divorce nearly made Samuels parents faint from anger , but there were no regrets in life .
What was done was done .
[ Annoyed by his parents endless nagging , Samuel shut himself in his room , refusing to eat or drink anything but alcohol .
The family doctor was surprised .
Despite drinking so much , his stomach was still holding up .
A week later , Cassandra hosted a grand banquet in the name of Hurricane Group .
She sent invitations to Samuels parents and told them to bring him along .
The banquet was in the evening , but Samuel had been up since morning , carefully choosing his outfit and styling his hair .
In his entire life , he had never cared this much about attending an event .
As night fell , Samuel and his parents arrived at Cassandras villa .
Calling it a villa was an underestimation ; it was more like a manor .
< Ariel , in particular , was starry eyed .
Sam , I raised Cassie myself .
She has the softest heart , you just have to say the right words ! Good thing I had the foresight to adopt her back then .
She turned out to be a real treasure .
Women are easy to coax .
Just sweet talk her , and once she comes back , both Hurricane Group and this manor will be ours .
Samuel remained silent .
His parents had no idea Cassandra had loved the wrong person all these years and he was too embarrassed to bring it up .
He didnt know why Cassandra had invited them all , but he knew this was his only chance to seek her forgiveness .
[ After twelve years of affection , he couldnt believe Cassandra could forget so quickly .
The three of them entered the estate , where the butler led them to the grand hall .
It was no exaggeration to say that Hatherns elite and high society were in attendance .
[ However , Samuel spotted a familiar figure among the crowd Francesca Stewart .
His mother also saw that woman and her expression darkened instantly .
What is she doing here ? If Cassie sees her , shell be furious ! Samuel , get rid of her right now ! Samuel didnt need the reminder .
He was already striding over to Francesca , grabbing her by the wrist , and pulling her into a secluded corner .
