How Death Became My Rebirth by Evelyn Florence

Chapter 24

Seeing that, other parents realized that the solution was simple. As long as they could avoid further

legal proceedings, they were willing to agree to almost anything.

Moreover, what they needed was just a self-reflection report and an apology.

More than half of the families apologized, but some felt Cassandra was making a fuss.

They thought their children did not cause her any physical harm, so they did not understand why

Cassandra was making such a scene.

They did not really want to apologize, but a trial wasn’t a pleasant way to solve this.

“Cassandra, since you have forgiven so many people, please forgive us, too. Our children didn’t do all

those things on purpose. Yulissa incited them.”

They could clearly discern the truth from the ten-minute video.

It was evident that following Yulissa’s affected discourse, a number of previously undecided students

became resolved in their intention to bully Cassandra.

Ultimately, it was Yulissa’s fault. Hence, she should be the one to be held accountable.

Cassandra snorted coldly. These people were sly. However, their tricks were useless in front of her who

was experienced in dealing with sly people.

“Madam, wasn’t your child involved in the bullying?” Cassandra asked.

After she said that, the atmosphere in the mediation room was awkward.

Cassandra’s blunt words had muted everyone present.

“Cassandra, stop twisting the truth. My girl said you bullied other students at school. She couldn’t stand

by and watch, so she took action!” a mother suddenly shouted.

Cassandra asked, “Who are you?”

“I am the mother of Christine Lundstrom.”

‘Oh, it’s her mother. It’s no surprise that she says so, Cas sandra commented inwardly.

After all, the apple did not fall far from the tree.

Christine had negative behavior, so it was not surprising that her parents were not in any way better.

“Really? Who did I bully?” Cas sandra asked.

“You bullied Lisa. She is my best friend. Bullying her is equal to bullying me,” Christine said with a

sense of great justice.

Every time Yulissa complained about Cas sandra in front of her, Christine felt pity for

her.

Christine deemed Cas sandra not as innocent as she seemed. It was all her facade.

“How did I bully her? Despite being an adopted daughter of the Yates family, she has a room that

occupies the whole third floor of the Yates residence, with a closet three times larger than my bedroom.

Is that the way I bully her? Everyone in the Yates family favors her. Didn’t she tell you what would

happen if I bullied her?”

Cas sandra continued, “Did she come up with any evidence of me bullying her?

tine, you are a Grade 12 student, an adult. Don’t you even have the ability to judge the truth yourself?”

It was unthinkable that Cas sandra would dare to cross Yulissa. Even the slightest misinterpreted

glance from Cas s andra could cause Yulissa distress for an extended period. Inevitably, those

misguided Yates brothers would leap to Yulissa’s defense, seeking retaliation against Cas sandra.

Cas sandra thought, ‘In the Yates family, bullying Yulissa is akin to courting death.”

Even so, she was being scolded every day in the Yates residence. Yulissa had surely done an

excellent job.

“Don’t try to fool us. Lisa said you are envious of the kindness she received from her brothers, so you

consistently bullied her in private and prevented her from

complaining to them,” Christine said angrily.

That was why Christine wanted to avenge Yulissa against Cas sandra at school.

Cas sandra clapped her hands for this.

‘Brilliant! All the Yates family members are skilled in playing the victims. Birds of a feather sure flock

together, Cas sandra mused.

“Indeed, I was afraid of her voicing any complaints. A single misconstrued glance at Yulissa could cost

me my meal. Daring to disregard her even once, and I’d find myself confined to a dim room. How could

I let Yulissa complain about these? Whenever she cries in front of her brothers, I’m the one who

suffers. The Yates family belongs to Yulissa, not me. There’s no need for her to remind me of that every

day,” Cas sandra

said.

“Christine, it’s no use whatever you say. I can forgive others, but not you!” Cas sandra added.

A person who had not repented even now did not deserve her forgiveness.

However, Christine’s mother grasped the situation instantly.

Her daughter was merely Yulissa’s cat’s paw. Everyone in the circle knew that the Yates. family

pampered their adopted daughter as if she were the most precious treasure in the world.

They even announced at Yulissa’s 18th birthday celebration that Cas sandra, their own blood and flesh,

was their adopted daughter. Given the treatment Ca s sandra received in the Yates family, no way

would Cas sandra bully Yulissa at home.

She w

was almost sure that her daughter had been used!

Thinking of these, she slapped her daughter.

“You brat! Is that how your father and I taught you to discern right from wrong?” Christine’s mother

slapped her daughter in the face, leaving Christine a little dumbfounded. “Mom, why did you hit me?”

“Don’t you think you deserve it? Is that how you treat your classmate? Did you see Cas sandra bullying

Yulissa, or did you hear Cas sandra insult her? You didn’t. Then why are you speaking up for Yulissa?

Haven’t you watched the video closely? You’ve all been manipulated by Yulissa. She claimed Cas

sandra bullied her, but how many of you witnessed it? Can’t you judge the truth yourself?”

Christine’s mother was very angry. She always believed that her daughter would not lie, so when

Christine explained the story to her, she chose to trust Christine.

But after Cas sandra had finished speaking, she immediately understood everything!

Without giving Christine a chance to explain, she interjected, “Cas sandra, this is Christine’s fault. I

want to apologize on her behalf. Please spare her, as someone was manipulating her. Don’t worry.

Until the SAT, I won’t allow her to leave my

home or come in front of you. After the SAT, I’ll send her abroad. Christine’s mother nodded at Cas

sandra, extending her apology.

Cas sandra nodded in response, signifying her approval.

Christine’s mother pulled her daughter out of the mediation room, and unexpectedly, they saw the

Yates family at the door.

Her anger immediately flared up.

“Yulissa, Christy is young and ignorant. She is simple. Please stop exploiting her kindness to achieve

your goals! Don’t come close to my daughter ever again.”

Then she took Christine away. Yulissa looked at Christine’s retreating figure with a pale

face. Christine protested that she wouldn’t go back and insisted that she was right.

Soon, everyone left, except the Yates family.

Ca s sandra and Jonathan were about to go home when the Yates family stopped them at the door of

the mediation room.

“Mrs. Yates, Ms. Yates, and all the Mr. Yates present, how may I assist you?” Cas sandra smiled

contemptuously, an expression that could easily provoke others.

“What does it take for you to withdraw the lawsuit?” Miranda said coldly.

She did not think Yulissa was in the wrong at all, still looking at Cas sandra with disappointment and

hatred.

“I will not withdraw the lawsuit.” Cas sandra stressed each word forcefully.

“Cas sandra, I apologize to you. Please don’t be angry, okay? Dad, Mom, and the brothers are all

yours. I won’t fight with you anymore. Please don’t be a

angry. As long as you don’t sue Leo, I’ll promise you anything. I’ll go back and move out now, okay?

Please don’t sue Leo,” Yulissa pleaded.

Cas sandra found what she said ridiculous. She thought, “Who is the source of the problem? Isn’t it

you?’

But now,

Yulissa twisted the entire scenario, making it seem like she was suing Leonardo for no reason.

“Well then, you move out immediately, and I’ll drop the charge against Leonardo.”

Cas sandra would like to see what kind of trick Yulissa was going to play.

“Cas sandra, who do you think you are to order Lisa to move out?” Frederick said.

“Cas sandra, you’ve finally shown your true colors. You claimed that you wanted to sever ties with the

Yates family, but in reality, you’re doing everything possible to push Lisa out of the Yates family. I’m

telling you now, that’s not gonna happen!” Jasper exclaimed in anger.

If possible, he would have taken the scalpel and killed Cas sandra.

“Is that what you really want?” Leonardo asked, emotionless.
