Now you’re demanding an apology. Do you think I’m an easy target because I’m alone, or is it that the Houston family’s power is so great you can do as you please in Drieso?”

Cassandra thought to herself, ‘Is this the man who sets up girlfriends for Ken without? Assuming Ken’s practically part of their family without any formal tie.

‘I’ve really seen it all now. No wonder a family like theirs raised someone like
