Chapter 1299: Penny, you're rich, right?

Meanwhile...

Seated in the back seat of a taxi, Nina held her phone to her ear.

"I'm really sorry about that, Cassandra," Nina said as she made her way to Mama to help out. "I don't even know what to say. Patricia went too far today."

Cassandra didn't respond immediately, but the dark look on her face was telling. "It's okay, Nina. It's not your fault."

"No, it is," Nina insisted, shaking her head. "Patricia has always been angry with me. While she has her reasons, this time she crossed the line. I never thought she would hurt you just because you were with me."

"So, are you saying she wouldn't have assaulted me even if I weren't with you?" Cassandra asked, arching a brow as she glanced at her phone.

"Mhm. That's why... I'm really, really sorry."

"Nina, it's okay," Cassandra sighed, shaking her head. "Even if you say it's your fault, it's not. And it's not mine, either. Patricia acted on her own."

Nina pressed her lips together, hesitating to ask Cassandra to let it go. But what right did she have to make such a request?

"Nina, don't worry about it anymore," Cassandra assured her. "I'm not angry at you, and I don't blame you. But that doesn't mean I'll just let it go. From what I hear, it seems like picking on the weak is her hobby. Someone has to teach her a lesson."

"No, it's not like "

"Nina." Cassandra's tone sharpened. "This isn't about you. This is about me being assaulted for no reason. You're kind, and maybe that's why you put up with her. But you and I are different. Please don't try to talk me out of it."

Nina fell silent.

"Anyway, it was nice seeing you. And thanks for your help today. I have to go."

Before Nina could respond, Cassandra ended the call. Slowly, Nina lowered her phone, staring at it in conflict.
