Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 977: Are you like them too?

"That guy... Jonathan, I don't trust him."

"You're smart. Go figure."

"Cassy, be careful and I'm... sorry."

Cassandra sat quietly by the bar counter, twirling the glass of wine in her hand. Her mind was filled with Finn's voice, telling her all kinds of things that didn't seem to make sense. However, she knew Finn.

They grew up together. Even without the degree she held, she would know when Finn was lying. Perhaps because of that, even when Cassandra was once engaged to him, he would always hold a special place in her heart.

Cassandra smiled subtly, sliding her eyes to him. "It's okay. I didn't wait that long."

"Still." His charming smile plastered on his face before he motioned to the bartender for a drink. When he looked back at her, he smiled and tilted his head slightly. "So? What's today's celebration?"

"Do we need a reason to celebrate whenever we drink together?"

"Well, I was upset." He shrugged. "But it turned out to be a lot more fun than I expected."

"I heard you played basketball against Max." She wiggled her brows knowingly. "Some friends from high school told me."

"Ahh..." Jonathan laughed and shrugged. "I did."

"I didn't know you could play."

"Me neither, but it turns out I'm a natural."
