Chapter 21
Cas sandra thought Leonardo’s words were ridiculous. What did he mean by saying they would treat her well as long as she showed the same affection towards Yulissa as they did?
If Cas sandra were still the poor girl who was eager for love, he might be able to convince her, but that Cas sandra died already. Cas sandra now just wanted to distance herself from the Yates family.
“What are you talking about? Lisa always speaks well of you in front of us and cares about you. Yet, you repay her kindness by insulting her? It seems that you have been bullying her quite frequently at school, too. Bringing you back into our family back then was a mistake!” Leonardo exclaimed sternly, clearly frustrated by Cas sandra’s obstinacy and hurtful words toward Yulissa. He was tempted to exile her to Desert Island right away.
“Mr. Yates, did Yulissa really speak up for me? If she did, why did you always punish me harder? What did | do wrong? Did you see my mistake with your own eyes? Can you show me the evidence? It’s as if the whole Yates family revolves around Yulissa. Why do you pretend to be impassioned in front of me?” Cas sandra asked.
This was her own brother, who did not believe in his blood sister but believed the words of a girl who was actually unrelated to him.
He regarded Yulissa’s words as if they were a decree from the
queen.
In that case, there was no need to feign nonexistent familial affection in front of Cas sandra.
“Lisa never lies. What she said about you must be true!” Leonardo exclaimed confidently and stood on Yulissa’s side almost instinctively.
“That’s right. She doesn’t lie, but | do. Then why did you come here, Mr. Yates? If | remember correctly, | have cut off the relationship with the Yates family.”
Cas sandra thought it was ridiculous that she had engaged in Leonardo’s nonsense for this long.
“What else do | expect to hear? Will they apologize to me? The answer is obvious. No way they will,’ she reflected.
“Call Jonathan immediately and tell him that you want to withdraw the lawsuit. Who do you think you are to sue others? Don’t make a fool of yourself.”
He found it ridiculous that Ca s sandra thought of suing everyone on her own.

“So young, so naive,” he thought.

“Mr. Yates, it’s not within your jurisdiction to decide whom | sue. | don’t have time for you here. | hope Yulissa won't be late tomorrow,” Cas sandra declared as she circumvented Leonardo and walked away.
Leonardo's face turned gloomy. Since Cas sandra refused to heed his advice, he had no choice but to resort to other forceful method.
If she disappeared and couldn't appear in court, the lawsuit naturally couldn't be proceeded.
Cas sandra took her review materials from the office and left the school.
However, the moment she reached the school gate, she was surrounded by a group of people.
There were eight people in total. The leader said obscenely, “Come with us, young lady.”
“What if | don’t?”
Cas sandra thought these people should have their brains checked as they had the audacity to kidnap a girl right in front of the school gate in broad daylight.
“They are rampant! Do they think they are local bigwig, and no one can punish them?” she exclaimed silently.
“If you don’t do as | say, then don’t blame us for not being kind to you.”
The leader waved his hand and gestured his men to come forward to take Ca s sandra.
Cas sandra’s lips curled up into a sarcastic smile.
It had been a long time since she engaged in a fight.
A few people gathered around Cas sandra, intending to grab her, but she flexibly dodged them.
“Young lady, if you don’t cooperate, don’t blame us for being rude. Get her!”
Amurderous gleam flashed in one of the men’s eyes. He swung the steel stick in his hand at Cas sandra. Surprisingly, she skillfully evaded it and swiftly countered with a powerful kick. The kidnapper was sent flying like a rubber ball, crashing heavily to the ground.
The man’s eyes rolled up, and his body went limp as he fell unconscious.
Seeing this, the leader was stunned as he recalled. ‘Didn’t Mr. Yates say she was a weak

However, Cas sandra easily knocked one of his men unconscious with one kick. He was momentarily at a loss.
“Everyone, go get her together!”
The other seven kidnappers swarmed in, swinging their steel sticks at Cas sandra one after another. The scene descended into chaos.
“Ah!”
“Ah!”
Aseries of piercing screams echoed through the air. Most could never imagine such at terrifying violent scene would unfold at the school gate.
The would-be kidnappers were kicked to the ground one by one. Upon closer inspection, one could make out the imprint of steel sticks on several faces. It was surmised that in their chaotic scuffle, they ended up inadvertently harming their own. comrades. Cas sandra stepped on the leader’s arm and looked down at him, asking, “Tell me who sent you here.”
“Don't be too arrogant. Let me go if you dare!”
It seemed the leader was reluctant to admit his defeat.
“Are you still shouting when you are defeated?” Cas sandra thought the man must be an imb ecile. “You have two choices. Either you tell me who sent you here, or I'll call the police and have you tell them yourself. The choice is yours.”
The leader suddenly fell silent as they didn’t want to go to prison.
He and his friends had just recently been released from prison. Originally, they had no intention of engaging in such activities, but Leonardo offered them too much.
He promised to pay them | million dollars if they successfully caught Cas sandra.
They thought they’d make a fortune, but unexpectedly, Cas sandra displayed formidable combat skills.
“| see you're still remaining silent. | assume you choose the second option.”
Cas sandra took out her phone and called the police.
“Don't call the police. It’s Mr. Yates,” the leader finally blurted out as he was scared to go
to prison again.
“Who is Mr. Yates?” Cas sandra asked.
“Leonardo Yates from the Yates family in Drieso,” the leader answered.
Cas sandra snorted coldly. A sudden chill seemed to descend around her.
“Why does he want to kidnap me?” she asked again.

“| don’t know. He didn’t say anything. He just asked us to take you two days and nights, and then hand you over to him,” the leader replied.

After getting the information she wanted, Cas sandra didn’t make things difficult for them anymore. Instead, she walked away directly!
She thought, ‘Leonardo, you're really something! You claim to be a good citizen and are promoted by the media as an outstanding youth. Yet, you resorted to such ant underhanded tactic. | will make sure you become famous.
After Leonardo arranged for people to take Cas sandra away, he rushed to the company to work. He only remembered this matter when he came home at night.
He wondered if Cas sandra had been caught.
He dialed the number of the kidnapper in charge and asked, “Have you caught her?”
“We... we did,” the man on the other end of the phone answered.
“Great to hear,” Leonardo said.
“Mr. Yates, may | ask why you asked us to kidnap this girl?” the kidnapper asked.
“She wants to sue my sister. | want to teach her a lesson,” Leonardo blurted out.
Leonardo didn’t harbor any doubts. He believed the matter had been resolved. Consequently, he instructed Yulissa to attend court tomorrow.
Yulissa asked sadly, “Leo, can’t you persuade Cas sandra to withdraw the lawsuit?”
“Just attend the court tomorrow. She won’t show up.”
Cas sandra was kidnapped. How could she show up?
“Really?” Yulissa wasn’t sure.
“Really. Don’t be afraid. Everything will be fine.” Leonardo dotingly caressed Yulissa’s
head.
“Okay, | believe you, Leo.” Yulissa nodded obediently.
She then informed all the students in the class about it and reassured them that Cas sandra would not be present tomorrow. It was akin to the lawsuit being dropped, and they could simply attend it.
