However, he did not lose consciousness. Cassandra looked condescendingly at him. “Why don’t we have some fun now?”

Back at Dustmeadow Mansion, Orlando just came home. As soon as he walked inside, Rebecca hurried over. “Bad news, Landy. Something happened.”

“What’s wrong?” asked Orlando,

“I don’t know if I should tell you.” Rebecca pursed her lips and cooed, “It has something to do with Cassandra. I heard it from a friend of Benita.“

Benita White was good friends with Rebecca in the entertainment industry.
