Cassie seemed to have expected it and sneered. 'What happened between Javen and me should have nothing to do with you, right?' Mr. Old James had other things to say, so he didn't get angry with her for the time being. 'Cassie, Javen Smith is really an ordinary boy. There is no shortage of rich people in the Caliva city. Let me introduce you a better one later, okay?' Mr. Old James really didn't want Cassie to marry a man that even he didn't like. There were at least two factors: military, politics, and business. Only in this way could Javen have the right to marry the girl of their James family. Mr. Old James was easily angry. Looking at her rebellious look, he felt that his blood pressure rose. 'You are the same as your mother. You are all so disobedient!' When Cassie heard the familiar call, she was first stunned, and then she couldn't help but ridicule, 'Maybe without you, my mother would live happier.' Mr. Old James was so angry that he was trembling. He really could
'Well, it's just as I thought. These people have had money transactions with the Clark Family and the Roberts Family in the past two days. They should deal with me.' Cassie looked at the information and became more and more confused. 'However, I didn't find out who was instigating rumors. Is there something wrong with my sixth sense?' Cassie seriously pondered, and Barnett James looked at her and said, 'You must have your reasons for thinking that way.' Cassie was confused by the sudden turn of events. 'Why did you suddenly become like this? You are not the person that would speak nicely to me.' Barnett James cleared his throat and said, 'I am sure you are capable of dealing with them, and I am not trying to flatter you. By the way, what are you going to do? I don't want them to think that you are such a girl.' 'Of course, I will,' Although it was what Cassie said, she was not worried in the slightest. 'Then what are you going to do?' Cassie did not say anything
Seeing the figure standing at the entrance, Cassie began to search for the name in her mind. In the end, she locked onto Skender James. He looked very similar to Barnett James. He lacked a delicate aura because his eyes were round, his eyebrows were curved, and the dimples at the corner of his mouth made him look smaller. Even she did not expect that Skender James would be even younger than Barnett James. 'You are Cassie? Ah no, Kathie, right?' Barnett James didn't understand what the two were talking about. He nodded in agreement. Cassie gave a chortle, 'You actually chased me all the way here? How absurd!' It was really unpredictable. 'You are really good at playing games. If possible, can you join our club? I will definitely give you the best treatment.' His eyes were shining as he said those words. It seemed that he was looking forward to it very much. Cassie suddenly felt that her cousin was not only young, but also simple. However, she shook her head
'Barnett James needs some herbs, so I need to go to the Underworld to attending an auction.' Cassie looked at his face and answered truthfully. 'I'll go with you.' Cassie refused without hesitation. 'You're sick now. You should go back and have a good rest.' She was really worried about him. People who caught a cold shouldn't go anywhere. What if something happened? Javen knew what she was worried about. Looking at her face, he smiled gently and said, 'Don't worry, I'm fine.' He knew very well about his body, and it would be fine. Cassie looked at the blush on his face and was a little worried. She felt that it was not a cold, but a fever. 'Don't worry. If I don't feel well, I'll tell you.' After Javen finished speaking, he set off. The Underworld was located in the suburbs. This place was quite hidden, so ordinary people couldn't find it at all. Cassie was an excellent hacker, so she knew where every Underworld was in different cities. After ente
Javen gently touched the wound on his arm and smiled casually. 'I don't know.' 'Well, do you need any more herbs?' Javen didn't want to mention what had happened before, so he changed the topic. Cassie touched her chin and thought for a moment. 'I'm still missing a 500-year-old Gingko, but it can only be sold at the auction. I have to wait until the evening.' Javen glanced around and said, 'Are you hungry? Go and eat if you are hungry.' The Underworld was similar to a small-scale commercial street. There were all kinds of food, drink, and entertainment inside, but the price was shockingly high. Cassie looked at the menu in front of her. A serving of spaghetti was sold for a hundred dollars. She couldn't help but be shocked. It's straightforward for her to buy the herb which cost one million dollars. But it's too expensive for her to buy a spaghetti which only cost one hundred dollars. Cassie was forced to order a serving of spaghetti, but when she handed in the men
Juwan froze. He pointed at Cassie beside him and asked, 'Is she your goddaughter?' Cassie and Javen did not react in time. Wasn't this person the old man selling herbs just now? He turned out to be Ryan Callow, the boss behind the black market. This was too absurd, wasn't it? Furthermore, she didn't even know when she had become his goddaughter. However, Ryan obviously did not give Cassie a chance to react. Ryan glared at Juwan and said firmly, 'Yes. Can't I have my own goddaughter?' Juwan smiled and said apologetically, 'Of course not.' Ryan was in a high position, powerful, and had a lot of people. Of course, he couldn't confront him head-on. He could only soften his attitude and sue for peace. At this moment, he knew that he should stop and then leave. 'Then tell me, what debt does my goddaughter owe you? I saw Mr. Smith seemed to be ready to rob hers just now. According to the black market rules, business is the same as usual. Isn't Mr. Smith going too fa
Cassie didn't expect that Javen would faint so suddenly, so she didn't know what to do for a while. She could only hold his body and let Javen lean against her. As she was at a loss, a clear voice suddenly came from above her head. 'Cassie, why are you here?' Looking at the intimacy between them, Ziad couldn't suppress the sadness in his heart. But he knew that he was not qualified to inquire about the two people's affairs, so he could only ask about their well-being. 'Ziad, Javen fainted from a fever!' A hint of anxiety flashed across Cassie's eyes. 'Come, I'll do it!' Ziad immediately understood and helped Cassie carry Javen into the car. 'Thank you.' 'You're welcome. Shall I take you to the hospital?' Ziad watched as she thanked him for a man. He couldn't describe the feeling in his heart, but he wasn't willing to let go of any chance to be alone with Cassie. The unconscious Javen couldn't disturb them. 'No need.' Cassie shook her head with an apolog
Javen pondered for a moment and continued, 'It's nothing much. It's just that someone wanted to beat you in private in the hospital. I noticed it early, so...' That morning, he heard two people plotting something in the corridor of the hospital. They said that they would drug Cassie and take her away when she came out. But he didn't notice that both of them had controlled knives. As soon as he made a move, the two men fought with him like crazy, and the blade accidentally cut his chest. 'So you blocked this disaster for me? Your fever was also caused by the inflammation of your wound, right?' For some reason, when Cassie said these words, she couldn't help but want to cry. His words made her cry in pain. Javen knew that Cassie was worried, so he didn't want to tell her, but he didn't expect her to cry because of it. He felt his heart was broken. He held Cassie's waist and coaxed her softly, 'It's okay. It's just a small injury. I've been injured before. You don't h
