Chapter 1438 She Was Pretty and He Was Handsome

Author: Tiny Mountains
Clement: [I do. She’s one of my students. She was supposed to continue her studies under me as a doctorate student, but the university disqualified her and Annie Weiss from the program because they had similar dissertations. Annie’s not my student, though. Later, after investigation, there was no evidence to prove either of them had plagiarized the other—the only conclusion was they had honestly just had the same idea. Too bad they had already left the university by then.]

Ned: [Why didn’t you tell her about this?]

Cassandra obviously knew nothing about this. If she did, she and Annie wouldn’t still be butting heads.

Clement: [It’s a long story.]

Since it was a long story, Ned wasn’t interested in knowing more.

Clement: [Also, can I know how Cassandra’s doing? Is she well?]

Ned frowned slightly at this. What was Clement getting at?

Why did there seem to be an underlying meaning to Clement’s words?

Besides, Clement probably knew Annie too. Why wasn’t he asking whether Annie was

    At this moment, Roger walked into the room through another door with an enormous lunch box in his hands. He put it on Cassandra’s desk.Some time ago, Roger had gone on a business trip. When he was back, Cassandra had gone to Mylar Village. He had only recently started bringing her lunch.Cassandra felt like she was facing an invincible enemy whenever Roger came here. He himself didn’t enjoy doing this either, but he simply had to follow his mother’s orders.Annie took this chance to tease Cassandra. “Why don’t you just give in to him? Look at all the good food he’s been bringing you!”“Who do you think you’re talking to? I’m your superior.” Cassandra was already annoyed by Roger bringing her lunch every day; she just couldn’t find a way to make things clear to everyone else. Annie was rubbing salt into her wound.Annie pouted and fell silent.Ned frowned slightly when he saw Roger bringing Cassandra lunch. He walked over to the glass door and knocked on it.Cassandra looked up,

    Ned smirked. “You’re getting more than your money’s worth, then. Don’t you enjoy watching them do the deed for free?”“I’m not like you!” Cassandra said huffily.Ned scrutinized her expression. “What’s wrong with being like me? Or do you know something about me that I don’t? Have you been digging into my past?”“No, I’m not interested.”“Still, it’s weird that you’re renting when you have such a huge fortune at your disposal.”“Why should I go around flaunting my wealth?”“Why’d you buy a Birkin for, then?” Ned refused to let the matter slide. “You really went all out to get Annie, huh? Just so you know, Clement Tyne told me Annie didn’t steal your dissertation. You two just happened to have the same idea.”Cassandra faltered. Had Annie been telling the truth this whole time?“I’ve already sold the bag. I didn’t like bringing it around that much. In fact, I prefer my canvas tote,” she said.“Did you also sell the one I gave you?”Cassandra frowned. “What do you mean, the one

    Ned gave her a flirtatious smile.Something magnetic in his eyes lured one in—he was obviously a master at attracting women.“Where’s the apartment you’re going to view? I’ll take you there,” he said.Cassandra didn’t answer him. She focused on her food, and accidentally ate a spicy pepper. It made her mouth burn—perhaps that was also why she had tears in her eyes.Ned took a bite of the pineapple pizza and said, “You have pretty good taste; this isn’t half bad. Looks like I should have more of this from now on.”Cassandra continued ignoring him.The meal cost a total of seventy dollars. Ned paid the bill.“Well, it’s not too expensive. I suppose I won’t have any problems if you have to depend on me,” he said.He was the very picture of a player who’d flirt with any woman he came across. Once he’d proven his charisma and animal magnetism, he’d dump his current target and move on to the next one. He treated women like they were items of clothing.Still, it seemed every woman he

    This was the first time a man had said something so bold and shameless to Cassandra, and he was good-looking at that. Earlier, in the laboratory, she’d lost the desire to butt heads with him the moment she saw him.It irritated her to no end. She continued looking out the window.She felt like she was already starting to fall into his trap. The worst part about this was that she knew this was a trap but still couldn’t resist walking right into it.Ned was like the sun—he made plenty of people burn, and she wasn’t the only one.When they arrived at Soleil Garden’s sales office, someone walked out and greeted Ned enthusiastically.“President Lawrence, I didn’t expect you to come in person. What brings you here?”“How’s it going, Gordon? You seem to be doing pretty well.” Ned looked around. “The place looks good.”The man was Gordon Tate, the vice president of the property development company that owned Soleil Garden. He didn’t even handle sales anymore.“Are you accompanying your

    Ned was smoking while leaning against the bedroom door frame. He looked especially handsome as he stared at Cassandra with narrowed eyes. It was no wonder countless women threw themselves at him despite knowing he wouldn’t stay with them—he was like a drug.Cassandra hated it.“I’m not his girlfriend!” she spat.Gordon looked at Ned awkwardly.Ned smiled and said nonchalantly, “You shouldn’t have said so many things. She’s angry now.”Gordon quickly said, “Yes, yes, I should’ve watched my words. Plenty of women are waiting in line for you to be with them, President Lawrence.”Cassandra didn’t want this apartment anymore.“I have appointments with other developers to view units there, so I’ll decide after viewing those. Buying an apartment isn’t something to be trifled with, after all,” she said.“So I brought you here for nothing?” Ned looked a little aggrieved.It wasn’t as if she had begged him to take her here. Besides, she didn’t like Gordon running his mouth, and she didn

    After Cassandra got out of the car, Ned sped off.She actually hadn’t decided whether to return to the laboratory or come home after viewing the apartment. Still, since Ned insisted on dropping her off, she had chosen to go to the nearest place so that she wouldn’t have to spend more time than necessary with him.Once she stepped into the apartment, she was greeted by the sight of two bodies joined together on the sofa. They were making noises that shouldn’t have been heard by anyone other than themselves.Cassandra was so shocked she couldn’t move.The woman was the first to notice her. She grabbed a blanket and covered herself with it, then said without a trace of embarrassment, “Cassandra, what are you doing home at this hour? Shouldn’t you still be at work?”“Exactly. Why are you guys doing this at this hour when you should be working?” Cassandra’s blood boiled.However, as someone who didn’t have any sexual experience, she couldn’t bring herself to look at them boldly.What

    Cassandra couldn’t help feeling down. Ned was too good at reading others—he could guess what one was thinking with just one look.She got into the car. As she reached for the seatbelt, Ned said, “So what did you see?”When she heard this, she made a gesture to get out of the car since she wasn’t buckled in yet.“I’m joking! Don’t go.” He grabbed her hand almost reflexively and smiled gently, looking harmless.In this instant, Cassandra saw the tenderness players like Ned rarely showed.Things were only precious when they were rare—Ned’s gentle smile was something precious.She reached for the seatbelt again and buckled it.They headed to the laboratory.After dropping her off, Ned left. Cassandra continued working on her experiment.She only left the laboratory and headed home after having dinner at the cafeteria.However, when she got home, she saw that the lock on her room door had been smashed to pieces. The room was in a mess.Her blood boiled.“What the hell is this?!”

    Over the next few days, Cassandra went around viewing apartments after getting off work. Perhaps it was because she was too pleased with the first one she had viewed—the others just didn’t meet her expectations.She had fallen in love with the apartment at Soleil Garden at first sight. Neil was the only reason she turned it down.Around 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, she bought several things before heading to Hill Villa.Ashlyn was leaning against the sofa, looking rosy-cheeked. Calvin walked past and pinched her cheek; she grabbed his hand before letting go reluctantly.This was the scene Cassandra was greeted by when she walked into the room.Ashlyn and Calvin were the only ones at home.“Cassandra, you’re here!” Ashlyn stood up to welcome Cassandra.“Yeah. You and President Conrad get along so well that I can’t help feeling jealous. It’s great that you’ve found yourself such a wonderful man.” Cassandra asked, “Where’s the rest of your family?”“Who are you asking about in particul

    Benjamin walked to her side and suddenly hugged her. It was as if there were thousands of words that could not be said. Jacey did not refute. It was as if the two of them had known each other for a long time. It was as if they had known each other for a long time."Your mother did a good job with this exhibition," Jacey said."It's good. After all, you're an expert in this field," Benjamin said. "Or if you have any requests when you get married, tell my mother and let her customize the most beautiful jewelry for you.""Married?" Jacey didn't understand.She had never thought about marriage. Why did she feel so close to her when Benjamin mentioned it?She still felt quite confused."I'll treat you to a meal later?" Benjamin said. "What do you want to eat?"Jacey's eyes lit up. "Hotpot? How about a hotpot?"Benjamin smiled and said, "I thought you had a profound hobby. This is it."Jacey smiled again.Jacey didn't like the feeling of being surrounded by people, so she chose the

    Kenny smoked as he spoke. He had the look of a veteran in society. It was hard not to believe that he was a nouveau riche who did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of his subordinates to save money."Sir, you've found the right person. Come and take a look." The workshop owner said. Then, he whispered a few words into Kenny's ear and asked, "Can you accept it?""What's so unacceptable about that? I'm definitely showing it to Party A. These people grew up in the countryside. What kind of milk have they drunk? I can't tell if it's true or not," Kenny said."Alright, alright," the workshop owner said with a smile."Just don't make it obvious. I'll go take a look at the manufacturing workshop." Kenny said.The owner of the workshop was initially quite shy, but Kenny said that he had ordered a lot, so the other party agreed.As soon as he entered the workshop, Jacey secretly turned on the pinhole camera when the workshop owner was not paying attention and filmed the production proce

    Jacey felt that under Kenny's serious and unsmiling appearance, there was a soft and warm heart.This note looked like it had been around for a long time. It was unknown how long Kenny searched last night before he found it and gave it to Jacey so easily.Jacey left.However, she did not expect that something would happen on her first day there.She brought a vacuum camera and made her clothes look like rural women's. After finding the milk production point, she said that she wanted to order milk in large quantities because she heard that the milk here was very cheap.The people in the workshop looked at each other and said, "I'm not selling!"The people in the workshop were very smart and vigilant. Their workshop had a fixed delivery channel. This woman was alone and was unlikely to be here to order. They found an excuse and sent Jacey away.No matter how much Jacey dawdled, the other party refused to let her in.For a moment, Jacey didn't know what to do. She was quite depres

    Jacey was a little stunned. She really didn't know much about what the parents were talking about.Moreover, she hadn't interacted with Benjamin for a few days. Moreover, when Ashlyn came to visit this time, she didn't say a word about him. It made her feel very uneasy. She even wondered if he didn't mean that at all. It was all her own wishful thinking…For the past few days, Benjamin had not come to look for Jacey. She had not contacted him either.However, a few days later, Jacey received a Whatsapp message from Benjamin. There were many photos. It was a rather high-class living room. There were boxes in the living room. The living room was simple and noble, like a top-notch courtyard house.[This is the showroom and display cabinet for my mother's medieval jewelry. How about letting your mother take a look?] Benjamin said.[Where is this place? This place is so beautiful.][My mother's dowry. The courtyard house in Genovia.] Benjamin said.Jacey thought to herself, "As expec

    Today, Benjamin had already returned home."How is it? How's your first time meeting your in-laws alone?" Calvin teased Ashlyn."It's quite good. I'm preparing to hold a medieval jewelry exhibition and then let my employees learn medieval video skills. I said that I wanted to use their jewelry as an exhibition, but they didn't even want the deposit. How generous," Ashlyn said lazily as she leaned against the sofa."It's… it's over?" Calvin looked at Ashlyn and said in surprise.Benjamin sat there and smiled."What else?" Ashlyn asked."What are you going to do this time? Aren't you going to look for your daughter-in-law? Did you see what she looked like?" Calvin poured a cup of tea for Ashlyn.After so many years, Ashlyn still hadn't changed from her usual macho self. In fact, she was even more macho than before. Perhaps Calvin had been the one to deal with everything after marriage, developing Ashlyn's habit of not using her brain.Of course, it only meant that she didn't use

    For some reason, Ashlyn felt like crying when she saw this. In the past, these jewelry had traveled to another country. Now, these jewelry were all back with stories.She thought about how the person who owned these jewelry had brought them overseas and brought them back…She felt that the Irving family was worthy of admiration.Linda had gone out at some point. Seeing that Ashlyn was looking at her very seriously, she didn't disturb her.When she came in again, she was carrying a cup of coffee. The fragrant Americano she'd just ordered from the coffee machine on the first floor. It was made from good coffee beans.She handed the coffee to Ashlyn."Have a cup of coffee when you're tired. Anyway, these jewelry don't have long legs. They won't run away on their own," Linda said. "You can come and take a look whenever you want. I've always been here."Only then did Ashlyn feel that she had been watching for an hour or two, but she had always been like a pious primary school student

    On Saturday afternoon, Ashlyn drove to Jacey's house, a very simple villa.Ashlyn knew that writers liked to live in such a quiet place because they had inspiration in such a place.Jacey's mother, Linda, was already standing on her steps to welcome her.Linda was dressed in a Chinese-style robe. She looked very ancient, but because she was slender, she looked especially good. She looked like a fairy.Ashlyn was dressed in a very fashionable modern outfit. She was wearing a knee-length skirt, pearl earrings, and earrings. She looked especially round and beautiful. One look and one could tell that she was the kind of person who had never experienced the blow of life."I'm Jacey's mother. Nice to meet you, Mrs. Conrad." Linda reached out and held Isobel's hand. "Jacey said that you're coming to our house to take a look. I am so happy. I specially brought all the jewelry from the other houses here and packed them up. If these jewelry can be displayed in the exhibition and let everyon

    "Excuse me, how did you know about me?" Jacey asked."Oh, Benjamin's phone was on the table that day. He went to the washroom and I happened to see the photo album he was looking through. I picked it up and saw these few pieces of jewelry. You know it too. As jewelry makers, we won't let go of those rare jewelry no matter what. I asked Benjamin where these pieces of jewelry came from and he told me about you," Ashlyn said neither servile nor overbearing.She understood a girl's mentality very well. She knew that if the woman found out that the man had taken the initiative to leak her news to her parents, she would be very disgusted and feel passive. Therefore, she did not say that. Instead, she said that she had seen it herself. She even said that Benjamin was looking at these photos at that time.Jacey's heart would probably feel warm. After all, a man was looking at her photo behind her back. She should have a good impression of this man.Jacey really thought so. When she heard A

    After Benjamin returned home, he showed Ashlyn the jewelry he had taken for Jacey.Ashlyn was very knowledgeable. One look at this jewelry and she knew that it was priceless.Moreover, the girl wearing the jewelry also had extremely good skin and was extremely delicate.Calvin, who was sitting at the side, also watched.However, Ashlyn didn't just look at the jewelry. She said, "You only bought jewelry. Who is this person wearing jewelry behind you?"Ashlyn asked Benjamin gossipily."Don't ask," Benjamin said.Ashlyn smiled. "You said that you only took photos of the jewelry but didn't take photos of her. Aren't you trying to arouse my curiosity? Now that I'm curious, you're not making a move. However, I've been working on researching National Jewelry recently, so I'm lacking samples in this area. When are you going to ask this girl out? Let me take a closer look. From her appearance, I think she's dressed very well. Moreover, I can see her face from her bone structure. I think
