Miss Garsia, the Cat Is Out of the Bag

The person who came was a boy about the same age as Barnett. He was tall and thin, and his skin was as white as jade. However, his eyes were clear and tender. His hair color was light, and it was a gentle maroon color. The corner of his mouth had a faint smile, which made people want to get close to him.

Cassie looked at his face and his identity automatically appeared in her mind.

If she guessed correctly, this should be one of Barnett’s best friends, Ziad Powell.

The Powell Family was involved in politics and had a significant influence in the Caliva city. However, Ziad didn’t seem to be so strict and instead had a trace of lively youthfulness.

Ziad saw Barnett plant flowers in the flowerbed and couldn’t help but tease him, “Do you like these flowers as well?”

Barnett stood up and felt a throbbing pain in his buttocks.

He held back his discomfort and said in a slightly angry voice, “Cassie, why did you do this to me?”

He originally wanted to say “kick”, but with Ziad by his side, he was too embarrassed to say this words.

Cassie shrugged and looked at Barnett’s flustered face. She was secretly pleased with herself.

“What’s wrong? Wasn’t it you who spoke rudely?”

Barnett glared at her vehemently. However, he couldn’t do anything to Cassie in front of everyone, so he could only swallow his anger.

“Well, don’t haggle with a woman. By the way, I have something to ask you.”

Barnett withdrew his malicious gaze from Cassie and turned to look at Ziad, “What is it?”

“We have a wine tasting party here in a few days. Do you want to join? It’s said that there’s another event…”

Barnett rejected the offer without even thinking about it.

“No, it’s boring.”

Ziad didn’t say anything and only looked at his agitated face. He laughed softly, “I heard that the ultimate gift for this event is the antique wine cup that you have always wanted. Are you sure you aren’t going to attend?”

Although the Barnett was short-tempered, he was still an absolute collector.

In particular, he had collected a whole set of wine glasses, only missing one. He didn’t expect that it would be in the hands of the organizer of this wine tasting party.

“Let me think about it.”

Cassie was not interested in their conversation. She just asked, “Where is Mr. Old James?”

Ziad had noticed the young girl in front of him. She had wavy long hair, was beautiful but not bewitching, and had a pure temperament. Since when did Barnett have such a pure-looking beauty beside her?

“Who is that? Barnett, was she your new friend that you take to see your parents?”

Hearing this, Barnett furrowed his brows and said, “How is that possible? This is my lost cousin that I told you about the last time. This time, she has recognized her origin.”

“Oh~~” Ziad suddenly understood. “So this is the legendary Cassie. Nice to meet you.”

Cassie didn’t know why she did not like what this young man in front of her said.

“Hello, Mr. Powell.”

Ziad immediately laughed, “I haven’t even told you my name and you already recognized me. Am I really that famous?”

Cassie was a sharp-tongued person, “That’s right. I heard that Mr. Powell likes staying with Barnett the most. They’re inseparable and are on good terms with each other in everything they do.”

Ziad wasn’t angry and when he saw Cassie indirectly scolding him, and he felt that she was rather cute.

He laughed and said: “Barnett, your sister is really interesting.”

For some unknown reason, he didn’t feel disgusted when Ziad talked about his sister. On the contrary, he felt rather proud of himself.

This couldn’t be a bloodline connection, could it?

“Okay, okay.” Barnett raised his chin at Ziad and said, “I will take her to see my grandpa first. You go to the lake and wait for me there. I will be back soon.”

Ziad nodded and left quickly.

Seeing that Barnett had left the room, Barnett glared at Cassie and said, “Come on, let’s go. Don’t talk too much in front of grandpa.”

Cassie sneered. “It’s none of your business. I know what I’m doing.”

“Whatever.”

Barnett couldn’t be bothered to waste time with her and led her to the main hall.

There was a group of people sitting in the main hall. Apparently, they were very curious about this granddaughter whom they had never met before and wanted to see her.

Cassie strode into the hall, not afraid at all.

When they first saw the young female, everyone was shocked for a moment by her delicate face.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

After that, each of them had their own ulterior motives.

Even Helen James, who used to be hailed as the most beautiful woman in the Caliva city, paled in comparison.

Moreover, she was natural and graceful and didn’t panic at all because of the large number of people coming, so they approved of her a lot more.

Why was it different from what others said? Didn’t they say that Cassie’s background was nothing more than a bumpkin from a small town?

However, looking at the present Cassie, she no longer looked like a country bumpkin.

Cassie did not notice the people around her. She only saw an old man in his sixties looking at her with tears in his eyes.

This was her grandfather, the person in charge of the James family, David James?

David looked at the face that looked seventy percent similar to Helen’s. Although he was filled with emotions, he still resisted his excitement and asked, “You must be Cassie?”

Cassie nodded. “That’s right. Nice to meet you, Mr. James.”

Perhaps because she had never had any contact with the James family, Cassie did not feel that the blood ties were thicker than water.

On the contrary, when she looked at the person sitting in front of her, she felt even more alienated.

She even felt a strong sense of discomfort.

Disappointment flashed across Mr. Old James’ eyes, but he soon understood.

“Mr. James? Cassie, you should call me grandpa. Come and see how beautiful our Cassie is now.”

He reached out his hand to signal Cassie to go over, but she didn’t move at all.

“What’s wrong?”

Cassie held back the discomfort in her heart and explained, “I haven’t known you for a long time. I’m not used to dealing with people I don’t know.”

Mr. Old James nodded. “I know. We’ve been separated for 20 years. I can understand that you don’t recognize me. But Cassie, you can have whatever you want in our family. If you need anything, just tell me. I’ll ask the housekeeper to compensate for it.”

This meant that he wanted her to stay there for a long time.

Cassie shook her head. “I came to see you this time because Mr. James invited me to come back and have a look, not for any other reason. I don’t want to be part of the James family. I hope you can let me go.”

Her words were so straightforward that everyone present was stunned.

The smile on Mr. Old James’ face froze. “What did you say?”

Cassie gritted her teeth and said directly, “I don’t want to be a member of the James family. I hope you can let me go.”
