Chapter 602 He Will Never Let Them Be Tainted by Cassie

so sad. Why do the good people die, and not the bad ones? What did Mr. Holden Senior do wrong? Why did he have to hear those words from Yvette? Why? It shouldn't have been Mr. Holden Senior who died!"

Suddenly, Wesley spoke up. "Sheldon, have you seen Cassie recently? I've been trying to find Cassie ever since I returned to Dithoria State from The Herbalist's Sanctuary, but I've had no luck contacting her.

"I tapped into our connections and even asked people I know in Dithoria State to help, but no one knows where she is." Then, he let out a long sigh. "Sheldon, you knew I was using the family's resources, didn't you?"

Sheldon nodded through his tears. "Yes. I know, Mr. Wesley. I've always known."

"Do you know where Cassie is?" Wesley asked, staring at Sheldon. "Sheldon, did you hide Cassie?"

Sheldon shook his head vigorously. "I didn't hide Cassie. I don't know where she is. If I knew where Cassie was, I'd kill her. I'd kill her to avenge Ms. Laura and Mr. Holden Senior."

Sheldon's expression twisted with rage as he laughed and cried at the same time.

Wesley and Marcus exchanged a puzzled look. Could they have been wrong about him?

"Mr. Wesley, Mr. Marcus, if you know where Cassie is, you must tell me. I need to ask her why she did such horrible things. I need to ask her how shameless she can be to fall in love with her own brother." Sheldon sobbed, gripping the wine bottle.

"I hate Cassie so much. She tore our family apart. And Vivian, that bitch... Mr. Holden Senior loved her so much and treated her so well. How cruel did she have to be to betray Mr. Holden Senior? I hate those two so much..."

Sheldon's face was smeared with tears and snot as he cried uncontrollably.
