Chapter 615 Convince Your Dad
“Wait for me, Oscar!” Cassie, who had been waiting outside the cafe, chased after him once again.
However, she was stopped before she could even get close to Oscar.
“Ms. Yard, you should leave now,” Hugo said.
Cassie was enraged when glared at him. She then raised her hand and wanted to slap Hugo across the face. To her dismay, Hugo grabbed her hand before she could land her strike.
“Ms. Yard, please contain your emotions. Women should have some dignity and not opt for violence.” Hugo held her hand and shoved her into a taxi he’d hailed for her earlier on. He then said to the chauffeur, “Mister, please send her to 33 Hillside Avenue.”
Upon receiving a hundred from Hugo, the chauffeur nodded happily. “Don’t worry, Sir! I’ll make sure she arrives there on time!”
As the chauffeur was driving away, Cassie was utterly infuriated.
“Stop the car! I need to get off!” she fumed.
“Miss, you should stop throwing a fit at your boyfriend. Personally, I think you two look like a match made in heaven! Just let him calm himself down before getting him to apologize to you, okay? If you go back to him now, a fight is surely going to happen!” the chauffeur advised kindly.
“I told you to stop the car! Are you deaf?” Cassie got even angrier by then.
“Miss, since you’re such a pretty girl, you should control your temper. In fact, it’s better for women to act more gently.”
Hearing that, Cassie’s anger had reached a breaking point. I shouldn’t meddle with this idiot for too long. After figuring out her plan, she managed to calm herself down.
She then whipped out two hundred from her purse and said, “Mister, the man you saw just now is my ex-boyfriend. I love him dearly, but his parents had forced us to separate. After that, they’d even found him a new girlfriend. I can’t afford to lose him. If you can let me off, I’ll pay you two hundred.”
When the chauffeur saw the money offered, he accepted it unhesitatingly. He’d even asked, “Do you want me to send you back?”
“That’s unnecessary. You can let me off right here.”
The chauffeur was over the moon. I’ve just gotten three hundred from doing nothing! What a pleasant surprise!
When Cassie finally got out of the car, she memorized the taxi’s license plate and called the taxi’s company to complain about the chauffeur.
After she was done complaining, she held her phone tightly in her palm in anger. At that moment, she could feel anger welling up in her chest, and she almost choked with anger.
In a fit of rage, she kicked the tree by the roadside repetitively. However, she was spotted by the policemen on duty, and they lectured her.
Cassie got even more infuriated at that. Can things get any worse? What’s with my luck?
After much effort to send the police away, Cassie got so angry that she rang Jennifer immediately. “Are you free, Jennifer? Let’s meet now. I’ll wait for you at the foot spa next to the business center.” With that, she hung up the phone before Jennifer could utter a word in response.
About one hour later, Jennifer finally showed up in her high heels. She then tossed aside her LV bag worth over ten thousand casually and tousled her curled hair before asking, “What’s the matter? Why did you ask me out in such a hurry?”
“I’ve failed,” Cassie answered.
Perplexed, Jennifer asked, “Failed? What?”
“Our plan failed! Oscar didn’t even bother to spare me a glance. He said I’m defective, and no matter how I act, I could never measure up to the real deal,” Cassie replied in a defeated tone.
Hearing that, Jennifer’s gaze darkened, and she seemed to be deep in her thoughts. Generally speaking, every man cheats! Could it be that Oscar isn’t interested in women anymore?
“Say something, Jennifer! Back then, you assured me I can definitely win Oscar’s heart.” Cassie was getting agitated.
Jennifer threw a slightly disdainful glance at her and said, “Cassie, you’ve got to be patient. Not only are Oscar and Amelia deeply in love now, but they also have a son pulling them toward each other. Since men are all fascinated by new toys, do you think you can win him back so easily, considering that you’re his ex-girlfriend?” Jennifer pointed out the truth blatantly.
Cassie instantly felt dispirited. “What’s your suggestion, then?”
“Just bear with it for now.”
Upon hearing that, Cassie looked at her in puzzlement.
“The thing is, Oscar is too outstanding. Hence, he’s arrogant and proud by nature. However, once his heart is swayed, he’d usually be fully committed to it. It won’t be easy for you to destroy his relationship with Amelia. In the meantime, you just need to bear with it and play the long game. Even if you can’t win Oscar back, you can still annoy the heck out of Amelia,” Jennifer uttered nonsense with a straight face.
Hearing that, Cassie looked at her skeptically and queried, “Jennifer, are you messing with me?”
“Well, you can always pull out if you don’t believe me, Cassie.” Jennifer shrugged nonchalantly. “However, I’d like to remind you of something. Not only did you force June back to his country, but you’ve also crossed your parents. If you were to pull out now, you’re going to end up with nothing.”
Mixed emotions flickered in Cassie’s eyes. After a while, she narrowed her eyes, and she seemed like she’d figured something out. “Okay. I trust you.”
Hearing that, Jennifer couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief inwardly. I’ve at least learned the trick to speak nonsense after having dealt with Cassie and June all this while. Now that they’re both at my disposal, I can easily manipulate them into doing what I say. At the same time, I can take my revenge on Oscar and Amelia.
As an act of revenge, Jennifer was willing to go all out. Indeed, she’d do anything for her mother.
“Since you trust me, please don’t ever doubt what I say again. Otherwise, I don’t think our alliance will last long,” Jennifer said with a grim expression.
Cassie nodded.
“There’s a swimming pool here. Let’s go for a swim, shall we? We’ll discuss further after that.” Jennifer lifted her feet out of the pool.
“Sure.”
The two of them changed into their bikinis and swam for a few laps. When they got tired, they continued their conversation while leaning against the wall of the swimming pool.
“Jennifer, what do you think I should do? It seems like Oscar hadn’t noticed a single change I’ve made,” Cassie uttered in a daze.
“You do know how to play hard to get, right? Since he’s ignoring the changes you’ve made, why don’t you just act professionally with him? He can’t possibly push you away if you were to approach him with a profitable proposal, can he? After all, I bet he wouldn’t turn his back on money,” Jennifer answered.
Hearing that, Cassie felt even more frustrated. “I wouldn’t be in this tough spot if everything is as easy as you say it would be. He’d already totally shut me out from Clinton Corporations. How am I supposed to propose anything to him if I can’t even see him?”
“How about your father? Could you convince him? From what I heard, Mr. Yard is quite close with Mrs. Clinton. Since she’d surely entertain him, see if he can put in some good words for you. After all, why does it matter who they were to work with? As long as there’s a possibility to make money, I doubt Mrs. Clinton would refuse to work with Yard Group. Besides, it’s safe to assume that they trust each other, seeing that they’ve been friends for so many years.”
Cassie rolled her eyes at Jennifer and argued, “It’s easy for you to say that. Have you forgotten that the relationship between the Clinton family and the Yard family collapsed two-and-a-half years ago? Besides, my mum hates Mrs. Clinton to her bones. How am I supposed to convince my dad?”
“Well, I’m just giving you a suggestion. In order to get Oscar, everything would depend on you,” Jennifer shrugged and said.
Cassie gazed at her intently and turned around. With a kick against the wall, she dove back into the water like a mermaid.
After swimming for a few laps, she swam back toward Jennifer. “Okay. I’ll deal with my parents. In the meantime, I hope you can do something on your end. Otherwise, I’m going to show you what’s going to happen when you mess with me.”
A disdainful expression appeared on Jennifer’s face before she said, “Don’t worry. As long as you do as I say, I can assure you that you bring chaos upon the Clinton family. Since Oscar is so cruel to you, surely you’ll hate him for that, right?” Jennifer smiled.
Cassie merely stared at her as she went into deep thought.
Jennifer then got out of the pool and wiped her hair with a towel she grabbed from the chair. As she was looking at Cassie, who was still in the pool, she said, “Cassie, perhaps you should just destroy what you can’t have. What do you think?”
In response, Cassie dove back into the water and swam away.
Right then, Jennifer whipped out her phone and took a video of Cassie swimming. After that, she sent it to June. Apart from the video, she texted: June, if you don’t come back, you’re going to lose Ms. Yard to someone else.
Soon, she received a reply.
When Jennifer opened the text, it read: Look after her on my behalf. I’ll return to Chanaea in ten days’ time. I’ll return to the country as a foreign businessman. Once I’m back, we can proceed with our plan.
Jennifer broke into a smile, and she replied: Okay. She then deleted the conversation entirely.
After swimming for a few laps, Cassie got out of the swimming pool.
Seeing that, Jennifer asked, “You’re done?”
Cassie took a towel from Jennifer and wiped her hair. “Let’s go. I’m feeling so much better after swimming.”
“Okay. Let’s go, then. I need to head back to work.”
After they left the spa, Cassie said, “Jennifer, you’re quite smart. If we continue working together, we’ll surely get what we want.”
“Let’s hope that’s the case,” Jennifer answered flatly before walking to her car. While waving her car keys in the air, she uttered, “I’ll go now. Inform me if you can think of any good ideas going forward. We’ll achieve more if we work together.”
“Okay. I’ll go back and try to convince my dad. He’s a tough nut to crack!”
“Try your best, okay? If you want to get Oscar so badly, you’ll surely find a way.”
With that, they both left in separate cars.
