"Well. Hackett, I did have something urgent yesterday, so I didn't wait for you to wake up Well, are you
all right? " Cassandra tried her best to break the silence.
Hackett lowered his head and said nothing.
Then his throat moved slightly and he said in a hoarse voice, "Nothing serious. I... I'm calling to
confirm... Is that true? "
The corners of Cassandra's mouth twitched slightly, she felt embarrassed. Her head hit the table with a
bang. At that moment, she finally understood an eternal truth that she would pay back sooner or later.
At that time, she disguised as a man just for the convenience of doing things. After all, with
Cassandra's identity, it was really difficult to do many things. Most importantly, she did it in order to
please Martin and reduce unnecessary trouble.
It was a lie at the beginning, but later she had to use countless lies to cover it up. But even now, she
couldn't reveal anything about her relationship with Martin. What was wrong with her to come up with
such a bad method back then?
'Well, what should I say now?'
Cassandra cleared her throat, "It's true. In fact, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but... I do have my
own difficulties. This time I have no choice but to expose my identity. I'm sorry. "
On the other side of the phone, there was an undisguised loneliness on Hackett's face. He said in a
hoarse voice, "You don't have to apologize to me, and I don't mean to blame you. I know you must
have your own difficulties. I am the one who should say sorry. When you need help, I can do nothing."
For Cassandra, he might just be a stranger whom she met by chance. He had helped her several times
by chance, so she didn't need to tell him her hidden difficulties.
Cassandra scratched her head with a headache, "No, Hackett, if you say so, I will be ashamed of
myself. I will find an opportunity to tell you these things in the future. Well, you take care of yourself
first. I have to go to the film and television city now, and I will come to see you later, okay?"
"Okay," said Hackett bitterly.
After hanging up the phone, Cassandra breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, she really didn't want to
lie to Hackett. After all, Hackett had helped her a lot, but it was not the right time yet.
Although she left the Yan Garden in order to not disturb their conversation this morning, she was very
clear about the status of Thurston. There were not many things worthy of his help in person. It was only
because she was too careless about Martin in her previous life that she couldn't remember what had
happened.
Cassandra was in a mess. The phone on the table rang again, and it was from Evan.
Cassandra frowned slightly. Since Susan broke up with Roger, Susan's status in Evan's heart had also
dropped sharply. On the contrary, he was closer to Cassandra. Cassandra had always been lukewarm
towards him. She didn't expect that Evan would be so shameless to call her again.
Cassandra moved backward, leaned against the back of the chair, slid the screen and whispered,
"Hello."
On the other side of the phone, Evan was excited, "Cassandra, are you free tonight? Your mother,
grandmother and I miss you so much. Come back for dinner tonight and ask Martin to come with us,
okay? "
'Ask Martin to go with me?
What is this old fox trying to do?'
Tapping her fingers gently on the table, Cassandra said coldly, "What a coincidence! I've been involved
in the case of Lance's sudden death recently. Now the police asks me not to leave my residence or
meet others in private. If I go to your house, I won't be able to explain it to the police."
Hearing this, Evan was stunned. Then he remembered that Cassandra was involved in Lance's case.
But he really didn't expect that Cassandra was the most popular new star in the entertainment circle in
the capital city. He had planned to take the opportunity to win over Cassandra. After all, Cassandra
couldn't have what she had today without the help of Martin.
This cunning old fox never did things without purpose. He had thought that Cassandra marrying Martin
on behalf of Susan would stabilize Susan's marriage with Roger, but he didn't expect that the rumored
sick man, Martin, would suddenly become the leader of the Lu Clan. As for Susan, she broke up with
Roger at this moment, which made him lose the powerful backer, the GR Group. Now of course, he
was eager to coax Cassandra well to attain the help of Martin.
However, Cassandra had been cleared of suspicion for the time being, and the police didn't detain her
to assist in the investigation. She said she was not free now, so it was obvious that she didn't want to
save the face of Evan.
Evan clenched his fingers on his knees and his face suddenly darkened. He put on a false smile and
said, "Well, I see. I'll come to see you when I'm free. I have a meeting to attend. I have to hang up
now."
After hanging up the phone, Evan loosened his tie with one hand, and his face was extremely gloomy.
He had never thought that Cassandra, who could be coaxed with three or two words back then, would
not be fooled now. During this period, no matter what he did, Cassandra would not come back.
What happened?
If it weren't for the same face, he would have thought that she was not his biological daughter, but
someone else's substitute.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
Suddenly, there was a sudden knock on the door. Evan suppressed his anger and said unhappily,
"Come in."
The door of the office was opened from the outside. The secretary came in as if he had seen a ghost.
His hand was shaking violently. He put a golden purple card in front of Evan.
Evan took a glance at him and asked, "What's this? Why did you... "
Before he could finish his words, he caught a glimpse of the name card. His eyes widened in an
instant. He grabbed the card on the table. The golden purple card was really made of pure gold!
"Mr. Evan. The boss of the TL Investment Company, Mr. He... Mr. He is here! " The secretary was too
excited to speak fluently.
Hogan He, the boss of the TL Investment Company, was the most mysterious and richest business
tycoon in the financial investment field of the capital city recently. Many rich people wanted to see Mr.
He, but Mr. He was mysterious.
Evan didn't expect that Hogan would come to his company on his own initiative!
Evan was overjoyed, "Is it really Hogan, the boss of the TL Investment Company? Have you checked
his identity? "
"Yes, I've checked it. He is indeed the boss of the TL Investment Company. He is in the lounge now.
Mr. Evan, please go there quickly."
Evan tidied up his clothes and walked quickly to the lounge.
In the lounge.
On the sofa sat a man in a black shirt.
