Chapter 170 Cassandra descended the stairs like a princess , supported by Harry .
All eyes in the room were on her .
Someone in the crowd asked , Mr.
Ladner , is this your fiancée ? Harry smiled faintly .
I dont have a fiancée .
This is my cousin , Cassandra Barnes .
She is also the current president of Hurricane Group .
Gasps of surprise filled the room .
The Hurricane Groups president is a woman ? ! Wait a minute , doesnt she look familiar ? Havent we seen her somewhere before ? N Now that you mention it … she really does look like that little girl the Nolans adopted .
Wasnt her name Cassandra Nolan ? Yes! She looks exactly like Cassandra Nolan ! Standing at the front , Cassandra heard the murmurs but didnt try to hide .
Instead , she openly admitted it .
Youre all correct .
I am indeed the adopted daughter of the Nolans , Cassandra .
Three months ago , my biological parents found me , and just half a month ago , I officially reunited with them .
The crowd was filled with envy .
An adopted daughter turned out to be the birth child of a wealthy family , what a stroke of luck ! Eric and Ariel were overjoyed that Cassandra had publicly acknowledged her connection to their family .
Cassie , were so happy you found your birth parents .
Youve always been a sensible child and we knew you wouldnt forget the years we raised you .
Cassandra nodded calmly .
Youre right , Mrs.
Nolan .
I lived with the Nolans for twelve years and I should repay that .
At that moment , Matthew Jennings , the citys top lawyer , entered the room .
They exchanged a glance and Cassandra gave a slight nod .
Bro .
[ Little sister , our teacher was heartbroken when you left the legal profession to get married .
Im glad youve come to your senses now .
Cassandra gave a wry smile .
I regret not listening to her then .
She was right .
A woman needs her own career .
\ The audience was even more confused now .
Wait , so Cassandra is actually the junior of the famous lawyer Matthew Jennings ? I heard that the Nolanss adopted daughter was mediocre , never even got a job after college , and just sponged off them .
I never expected shed be a top lawyers apprentice ? } Rumors really do mislead people .
Did you hear what Matthew just said ? He mentioned Cassandra got married .
When did that happen ? Cassandra didnt answer the questions swirling below .
Instead , Matthew walked straight to Eric and Ariel , holding a prepared contract .
Mr.
and Mrs.
Nolan , Cassandra lived with your family for twelve years .
The total cost of her upbringing comes to $ 100000 .
She has decided to double that amount and round it up , giving you a total of $ 200000 .
Heres a check .
From this moment on , Cassandra has no further ties with the Nolans .
W In a shadowed corner , Samuel stood frozen , eyes locked onto Cassandra .
He had known it .

That woman wouldnt have invited them here for anything good .
She wasnt just cutting ties with him ; she was severing all connections with the family that raised her .
Ariel , who had been all smiles moments ago , turned pale at the sight of the check .
Cassie , what are you doing ? We are still your parents , even if youve found your biological family ! We raised you out of love , not for money .
Take this money back .
If Cassandra wanted to buy her freedom , the price should be at least 20 million dollars , not a measly $ 200000 .
Was she treating them like beggars ? Cassandra saw right through Ariels thoughts and smiled brightly .
Since you dont want it , then lets forget about it .
She turned to Matthew .
Matthew , please present the termination of adoption papers for them to sign .
Ariel was caught off guard .
She hadnt expected Cassandra to be this ruthless .
She felt as though a golden opportunity had just slipped through her fingers .
Cassandra , what do you mean by this ? Just because youve found your biological parents , youre abandoning us ? Have you no conscience ?
