Chapter 3
“What? Cas sandra is their biological daughter? What about Yulissa? Is she adopted?”
“Didn't the Yates family state they only have one daughter? Yulissa must have been adopted if Cas sandra is the biological one!” “What are the Yates family thinking? Have they truly taken an adopted child as their own and provided her everything, while abandoning their real daughter in an orphanage?”
“| don’t think it was an orphanage. Could she have been abandoned somewhere else. and was only taken back some time ago?” “Is Yulissa an illegitimate daughter?”
“Well, | also think so. Otherwise, it is st upid of the family to treat an outsider so well and ignore their own daughter.”
There was a lot of chatter among the guests, and those unpleasant words could easily be heard on stage.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
That blasted Cas sandra! She’s trying to ruin me!’ thought Yulissa. Her eyes turned red. from crying, and she stepped back, appearing upset.
Hearing the criticism, the six brothers couldn’t take it anymore.
Raymond lost his temper and shouted, “What on earth are you all talking about? There’s only one daughter in the Yates family, and that’s Lisa. Cas sandra doesn’t deserve to be part of the Yates family!”
All the guests were thinking, “Wow, something big’s gonna happen! Today’s party is fantastic!’
“Cas sandra, don’t be absurd. You are the adopted child of our family. How can you claim to be our biological daughter?” Miranda clenched her fists, restraining the urge to fight Cas sandra, and spoke in the most tactful manner possible.
“Really? But it was you guys who convinced me you're my parents with the DNA test report.” Having said that, Cas sandra took out an A4-sized sheet of paper from her pocket and unfolded it. “The DNA test report had a lot of pages, but I’ve always had the concluding page of the report on me. Is the report fake?”
Awicked smile graced Cas sandra’s face.
She wanted to back Benjamin and Miranda into a corner and force them to acknowledge who she really was.

“The report is true!” Benjamin admitted, cutting Miranda off.
However, he immediately regretted what he said.

“Treating your biological daughter like an adopted child and your adopted daughter like a biological one? How shameless!” “That’s totally beyond me!”
“Why would they prefer their adopted daughter over their own biological daughter?”
“The brothers said they only have one sister, Yulissa. What about Cas sandra?”
“Could it be that the Yates family doesn’t want to acknowledge Cas sandra because she’s too terrible?”
“The Yates family has put in so much effort in raising Yulissa to be a refined and graceful young lady. Cas sandra can’t hold a candle to her!”

“Since Dad is admitting | am his biological daughter, why did he just say that | was the adopted one? Are you refusing to acknowledge me because you hate that | grew up. the countryside? If that’s the case, I'll just leave and give way to Yulissa. Cas sandra found it effortless to speak in an affected manner.
Yulissa was delighted to hear that Cas sandra wanted to leave.
She thought, ‘Cas sandra should leave as soon as possible. How dare she compete with me for Mom and Dad’s affections?!” However, Yulissa appeared extremely nervous and distressed. “I’m sorry, Cas sandra. Don’t be angry. It’s my fault. I've taken all the love from your parents and brothers. I’m not worthy of being a part of the Yates family. | will give you your parents back. Please. don’t leave.”
Whenever Yulissa cried, the six brothers would rush to comfort her and cheer her up.
“Cas sandra, that’s enough! What gives you the right to bully Lisa? Didn’t you get what | told you at home?” Raymond held Yulissa in his arms and yelled at Cas sandra.
Cas sandra snorted. “Home? My so-called home is a tiny storeroom of less than 100 square feet. Even the nanny lives in a room of 200 square feet. But I, the daughter of the Yates family, whom Dad has now admitted, live in a storeroom that is not even as big as Yulissa’s wardrobe. What a great home it is!”

“Cas sandra, are you done? Leave now! Leonardo, take her back to the room, and do not let her leave without my permission!” Miranda glanced at Yulissa distressedly, then turned around to yell at Cas sandra.
She looked at Cas sandra like the latter was an outsider.
“Don't bother. Since Mom and Dad don’t consider me a part of the family, I'll just leave.” Cas sandra pretended to be aggrieved. “Cas sandra, stop it. Let's just go back to your room,” Leonardo said.
He frowned slightly. Despite his lack of visible emotion, his anger was evident.
“Go back to my room? Are you going to lock me up and starve me for three days?”
Upon the third day of returning home in her previous life, Cas sandra was confused when she noticed that her biological family treated Yulissa, an outsider, better than they treated her. Therefore, she expressed her frustration by scolding Yulissa. Unfortunately, the brothers witnessed it.
Jasper then locked her in the storeroom for three days straight. During the whole three days, she received only one meal on the second day, and it was the leftovers of the
serv ants.
Cas sandra learned in her past life that she had to stay away from these people.
Yet now, they all owed her for the life that was taken from her, and what was once taken had to be restored.
“Miranda, what are you talking about?” Miranda’s carefully maintained elegance. shattered in an instant.
She couldn’t help but think, ‘Cas sandra is such a disgrace.’
‘How dare she lie? When did we ever lock her up in the storeroom and starve her for three days?’
“Jace knows exactly what happened. The ser vant brought food for me but it was leftovers. You lost me in the past. | understand if you made no effort to seek me out. But if you are now treating me this way after bringing me home, then there’s really no need for me to be here. | managed the first 18 years of my life without my parents, and | can live the next 80 years without them too!” Cas sandra stated firmly.
“Shouldn't you be punished for doing something wrong? You bullied Lisa, your younger sister. Do you think you don’t deserve the punishment?” Jasper believed he had not done anything wrong, but rather, he perceived Cas sandra as ungrateful.

Cas sandra replied, “Lisa is your sister, not me. In the two months since | returned, I’ve heard this so many times that I’ve lost count. You don’t have to remind me of this again and again.
Then, she turned to Benjamin and Miranda. “Mr. and Mrs. Yates, thank you both for the affection you pretended to show me during these two months. | won’t reimburse you for the expenses, considering | haven't spent any of your money over these two months. | estimate that daily expenses for accommodation and meals amount to 200 dollars per day, making it a total of 12,000 dollars for two months. I'll arrange to send you the money later. You can start treating me as if I’m not your daughter from now on!” Cas sandra was desperate to escape from this suffocating home.
She wanted to return to her old life and be true to herself.
“There’s no such thing as pure and sincere kinship in this world. My mentor lied to me. | don’t need this!’ Cas sandra thought. “Cas s andra, why are you still throwing a temper? You pushed Lisa at home earlier, and.
she still reached out to you by going to your room, but you ed to bully her.
Despite that, do you still feel wronged? Why are you so vicious?” Raymond was so furious that he wanted to teach Cas sandra a lesson now.
Raymond pondered, ‘Sharing the same blood with her is so repulsive. Why couldn't Lisa be my biological sister instead?”
Cas sandra thought, ‘It’s fine if they don’t mention these things. But they claim | pushed Yulissa? They're clearly skilled at making false accusations.”
“Yes, | am clearly the evil one here. So, I'll disown you willingly. Will that be a problem?”
