“What's Mr. Zeller's purpose for looking for Cassidy?” Rayna murmured softly as she fell into deep thought.

“Just leave Cassidy's matters to me. You don't have to concern yourself with it. Come on. Let's go out for a walk,” suggested Curtis while leading her out of the courtyard.

“Okay.” Rayna nodded.

Cassidy spotted Curtis leaving with Rayna when the former arrived at the courtyard with Yasmin.

The little girl tugged at Cassidy's shirt. “Ms. Cassidy, am I really going to school?”

Hearing that, Cassidy lowered her head to look at Yasmin. With a nod, the former answered, “Yes. You need to go to school.”

A look of dejection flashed across Yasmin's eyes when she heard that.

Regardless, Cassidy strode into the living room, with Yasmin following closely behind her.

At Jenmier Manor, a man dressed in a black shirt ignored the housekeeper's greetings and marched straight into the study.

“Godfather, you sent people to look for Cassidy today, didn't you?” asked the visitor anxiously, looking at the man enjoying his coffee on the couch.

Hearing that, the man slowly put his cup down and lifted his gaze to look at the young man. “You rushed all the way here this early in the morning just to ask me this?”

The middle-aged man's voice was deep and laced with authority. It instantly overpowered the young man's aura.

“I've already given you my word about Cassidy. She won't—” Before the young man could finish his sentence, the middle-aged man cut in, “Fernando, I sent someone to bring her over only because I want to treat her to a meal and discuss your marriage with her.”

Fernando's expression turned grim when he heard that.

“Godfather, Cassidy and I can handle our own affairs,” Fernando responded in a deep voice, his gaze fixed on Andrew, who still sat on the couch.

Fernando explained further, “Cassidy never liked being constrained. I'm afraid her rashness will offend you.”


The moment Andrew heard that, he frowned, and his expression turned colder than ever. “What's wrong? Are you afraid I'd do something to her?”

“That's not what I mean. You know how Cassidy does things without being mindful. I'm sure your men have reported today's happenings to you. I'm just afraid she might hurt you,” explained Fernando with his head lowered.

A mysterious smile crept onto Andrew's lips as he stared at Fernando. “Do you know who the other two at Cassidy's house are?”

Shaking his head, Fernando replied, “Nope.”

Andrew narrowed his eyes at Fernando. Moments later, he waved his hand at the latter, saying, “Run along, now. I won't do anything to Cassidy.”

Upon hearing that, Fernando balled his hands into fists and walked away silently.

Shortly after Fernando left the study, Andrew summoned the butler and asked, “How is it going with the task I assigned you?”

The butler answered, “The arrangements have been made.”

At that, Andrew picked up the newspaper on the coffee table and began reading it. Coincidentally, the news report about Glory's newly-developed facial product causing many users to suffer from severe acne was printed in the newspaper.

In the blink of an eye, Glory and Faymon Group became the talk of the town.

After exiting the Gilroy residence, Rayna and Curtis walked along the narrow path, passing by many houses along the way.

They passed by a convenience store that had a large television that was broadcasting the news.

The news reporter mentioned that the reliability of Glory's products was questioned, but the channel was soon changed.

Nonetheless, Rayna heard some of the details and halted in her tracks. “Curtis, did you hear anything just now?”

Curtis followed her gaze and glanced at the store, only to find a child playing with the remote control and changing the channels. “What's wrong?”

“I think I heard Glory's products being mentioned in the news,” recounted Rayna based on what she heard earlier.

Curtis' face fell, and he said softly, “I think you misheard it.”

“I don't think so. I know what I heard.” With that said, Rayna made her way to the convenience store, while Curtis hesitated for a while before following her.

The owner of the store stiffened when he saw Rayna and Curtis entering.

The townspeople were oblivious to who they were, but they knew the couple was staying at Cassidy's house.

Most importantly, the entire town despised Cassidy. Hence, they were hostile toward the couple.

“Hello. Can I please use your television for a while? I'd like to watch the news,” Rayna asked softly.

Upon hearing her gentle tone, the owner could not bear to turn her down despite his reluctance. He took the remote control from the child and handed it to her, saying, “Make it quick. It's my child's television session.”

“I won't take long.” After taking the remote control from him, Rayna glanced at it and found the buttons with arrows. She pressed it and changed the channel one by one until she heard the news report coming from the television.

The title of the news report read: Glory's newly developed product may involve illegal substances. Next, the host began interpreting the report.

Rayna tightened her grip on the remote control as she turned to stare at Curtis. “Did you know about this?”

Curtis wanted to take the remote control from her, but she dodged his hand. “I'm asking you a question.”
