Chapter 81

Cassandra felt numb, long accustomed to the fact that the man she loved was in love with someone else. She had known that for a fact since long ago, but for some inexplicable reason, her numb heart still ached faintly.

Not receiving a response from her, Michael asked with concern, “Cassie, why must you do this to yourself? What does Orlando mean by doing that?”

Cassandra lifted her gaze to look at Michael before handing him the phone. “Let’s focus on work for now. I have been off for so many days, delaying a lot of progress. I’m going to the site with Amelia later. You keep an eye on things here.”

She steered the conversation away, neither responding to Michael’s question nor showing any intention to continue.

Michael frowned, clearly upset. “Cassie, did you even hear what I said?”

“Michael, I know you care about me, but we’re in the office now. Let’s not talk about other things, okay?” She smiled as if telling Michael that she was fine.

In fact, she no longer felt suffocated as she used to, considering she knew he didn’t love her before they got married. Everything that happened afterward gradually made her subconsciously adapt to it.

She was confident she would put that behind her.

Michael stopped saying anything. Even though he was worried, he didn’t want Cassandra to feel repulsed.

Cassandra immersed herself in work. She organized the design drawings and headed to the site with Amelia.

The atmosphere was tense in the CEO’s office on the top floor of Quinn Group. Orlando’s expression was extremely grim, and his eyes were filled with chill.

At that moment, Taylor knocked on the door and entered. “Mr. Quinn, it’s been clarified. Those social media accounts that have been spreading rumors all come from a small company registered last year. I have handed it over to the lawyers. Also, Ms. Spencer’s manager called. She wanted to explain the situation to you.”

“No need to respond. Remove the trending topics. Notify everyone that anything related to me should not be on the trending topics in the future,” Orlando said.

“Okay, I understand.” Taylor nodded and glanced at Orlando from the corner of his eye, noticing how gloomy he looked.
