Chapter 1381: We’re not giving them that
"Cassandra, I am so sorry that even you have to experience this," Mrs. Davis expressed sincerely, clasping Cassandra’s hand tightly. "Finn is not in his right mind, so... I hope you can extend your patience for me."
Cassandra smiled weakly, nodding. "I understand, Auntie. However, I will have to stay away from him for the time being. After all, I know him, and if he says to stay out of his life, I have to—no matter how much it hurts."
"Don’t worry," Mrs. Davis reassured her with a nod. "I won’t let this slide. Not after I found out that woman’s true colors."
Cassandra pressed her lips together, swallowing the tension rising in her throat. "Auntie, please don’t tell Finn that I was the one who told you about that incident. He will hate me."
"Of course." Mrs. Davis mused. "I will protect you. It’s the least I can do after you helped me see what kind of witch that woman really was, hiding behind that angelic face."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Mrs. Davis smiled warmly, squeezing Cassandra’s hand reassuringly. Cassandra returned the smile, her appreciation evident.

Later...
"Pfft—" Cassandra stifled her laughter in the backseat as her vehicle slowly pulled away from the residence. Her muffled giggles grew louder and louder, as if she had just heard the funniest joke in the world.
After a while, she leaned back, a satisfied smile playing on her lips. Her eyes gleamed with malice as she recalled the look on Mrs. Davis’s face. While Finn’s mother was generally generous, she could be ruthless when necessary. And after learning what Nina had done in the past? There was no way Mrs. Davis would hold back.
There was no way the Davis family would let Finn marry Nina. Or rather, let Nina marry into their family and gain control over their wealth, reputation, and everything else. The Davis family would never accept such a woman—no matter how extreme the measures needed to stop the marriage.
