Not long after Cecilia left, Nicholas saw Cassandra‘ standing not too far away on his face was filled with anger.

When Nicholas thought about the events of the previous night, a glint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

He approached slowly without uttering a word.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“Don’t you have anything to say to me?” Cassandra hadn’t yet grasped her place, assuming that she would be treated like a princess in the Rainsworth family like how she was used to in the Evans family.

“What?” Nicholas retorted.

Cassandra choked up. “We’re already engaged. I’m your fiancée, but why can’t I touch you?”

She was too proud to ask Nicholas about Cecilia.

After all, she would be risking embarrassment if she said it out loud that Nicholas had feelings for Cecilia.

“Haven’t I mentioned it before? Wait until after we get married.” Nicholas‘ tone was gentle, yet tinged with impatience.

Cassandra clenched her hands. “Aren’t you being too conservative?”

The disdain Nicholas held for her in his heart had just reached its peak when Jocelyn conveniently called him.

After answering the call and responding, he then reassured Cassandra, “If there’s anything, we can talk about it when I get back.”

Cassandra had no choice but to keep her temper in check.

“I’ll head home first.”

“Okay.”

Cassandra had initially planned to move into the Rainsworth residence. However, Nicholas. mentioned that his place was still undergoing renovation and suggested that she should move in once the new house was completely refurbished.

Nicholas watched as Cassandra got into the car and drove away. Only then did he pick up phone again. Jocelyn did not call him at all.

He dialed a number. “Stop the Bentley that just left the Rainsworth residence, then get some men to kidnap the person inside…”

An hour later, Cassandra was knocked unconscious and left in a dimly lit room. A few men stood inside with a video camera set up in the middle.

Outside the room, a silver–grey car was parked. Inside the car, Nicholas sat quietly..

A subordinate nearby cautiously asked, “Mr. Nicholas, isn’t this a bad idea?”

After all, Cassandra was publicly recognized as Nicholas‘ fiancée. If those people really harmed her, and if Nicholas regretted it later, they would all face dire consequences.

Nicholas dismissed it nonchalantly, saying, “There’s nothing bad about it. A disobedient dog needs to be dealt with accordingly.”

With that, he leaned back in his chair and closed his striking eyes as he signaled to his subordinates that they could begin.

Within the dimly lit room, all that could be heard were Cassandra’s gut–wrenching cries.

After an indeterminate amount of time, everything finally came to an end. Those individuals departed with their cameras.

After a while, Nicholas finally emerged from the car and directed someone to kick open the front door.

Inside the room, Cassandra was badly bruised and barely covered with clothes. Her hair was disheveled, and she no longer held the air of a haughty young lady.

When she saw someone entering, she instinctively shivered and frantically exclaimed, “Don’t come over, don’t come over!”

Nicholas quickly stepped in front of her and removed his coat to drape over her shoulders. “Cassandra, it’s me.”

His gentle voice instantly snapped Cassandra back to reality. She looked up at him and immediately wrapped her arms around him. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she cried, “Nicholas!”

Suppressing his distaste, Nicholas did not push her away. Instead, he said to the person behind him, “Take Ms. Evans to the hospital.”

As Cassandra began to regain her clarity, thoughts of the incident just now replayed in her mind. The mention of going to the hospital by Nicholas made her instantly refuse, “I don’t want to go the hospital, Nicholas, I don’t want to go to the hospital.”

Nicholas gave her shoulder a reassuring pat and pretended to console her, saying, “Don’t worry. No matter what happens, our engagement will remain unaffected.”

“Nicholas, someone took photos and videos of me. Can you help me find them? Can you not look down on me?” Cassandra knew that Nicholas could guess what had happened.

“Don’t worry, I’ll handle everything,” he assured.
