How Death Became My Rebirth

After class, Cassandra went back to Springmount Townhouse by herself, but today seemed a little different. Indeed, it was.

It seemed she had met someone familiar.

Kenneth hadn't expected to meet Cassandra right after moving in. Kayden’s words actually held some credibility for once. Despite his seemingly nonchalant demeanor, he was aware that he had quickened his

pace.

He was afraid that if he was a moment too late, Cassandra would have gone inside.

“Ms. Yates, | didn’t expect to run into you here.”

Cassandra was also surprised. She had never seen Kenneth after living there for so many days.

‘Wasn't he supposed to live at the Zelinski residence? Why would he be here?‘ she‘ wondered to herself. “Mr. Zelinski, what a coincidence meeting you here.”

It was not coincidental at all.

All these coincidences were carefully orchestrated chance encounters by Kenneth for a long time.

“Yeah, quite a coincidence. Let's call it fate.”

Cassandra was slightly taken aback. She couldn't believe that Kenneth, the richest man in the world, an austere figure, would believe in fate.

However, in the previous life, he had collected her body and even sought revenge for

her.

She wondered what his intention was.

In her memory, she couldn't recall knowing any Zelinski. So, when could they have

met?

Moreover, judging from Kenneth’s behavior, it seemed like they didn’t know each other at this point in time. 1/6NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Could it be that she met him briefly at the Yates residence in her past life?

But, that was not possible. After her reputation was almost ruined and her SAT was usurped, she had barely stepped foot out of the house.

Every time she thought about her past life, she felt utterly foolish.

“Yes... Is Mr. Zelinski here to visit a friend or...”

* “| live in that block. It’s close to the city here, so it's convenient for me to go to work.” ‘Convenient for seeing you too, Kenneth continued in his heart.

Cassandra nodded in agreement. The reason she had chosen to stay in the townhouse was because of its proximity to the city, her school, and the downtown area.

“Do you live here too?” Kenneth pretended to be surprised. “Yes, | live in this block.” Cassandra pointed to the townhouse in front of her.

Kenneth slightly curled his lips, revealing a faint, almost imperceptible smile. “It’s too much to dismiss as just a coincidence now. I live next door to you.”

Cassandra was speechless. “That is indeed quite the coincidence.” 5

“Mr. Zelinski, | still have some homework left to do, so I'll excuse myself. | haven't had the chance to thank you in person for defending me at the charity gala last time. Let me treat you to a meal when you're free,” she added.

“Sure, I'll wait for your treat.”

‘lll wait for you too! Kenneth said in his heart.

Cassandra nodded faintly before heading home.

Kenneth stood at the door for a long time, gazing at the closed door.

Someday, he vowed, he would openly and legitimately live in a place with Cassandra. Entering her home, Cassandra didn’t have any actual homework to do.

Instead, she delved into the Dark Web to search for information about Kenneth. However, the data she acquired didn’t reveal much. There were also many files sealed away as secrets.

All she knew was that Kenneth wasn’t as bloodthirsty as he appeared.

Kayden was the deputy team leader of the special operations force, which meant he was no ordinary person. Cassandra couldn't help but wonder where exactly had they met before.

“What are you thinking about?” Jeremiah approached Cassandra quietly.

“Nothing much.”

“Do you remember the bodyguard you asked me to find before? | found him and gave him a good offer to work as your bodyguard at Modern Beacon Synergy. However, he needs to be trained for at least six months. You won't be able to see him until then.”

Although Jeremiah didnt understand why Cassandra wanted to look for that specific bodyguard, he always followed through on her requests.

Modern Beacon Synergy was a business empire founded by Cassandra, second only to the Zelinski family’s business empire. However, she last used it to create an opportunity for the Yates family.

After that, she transferred all her shares to Timothy Gomez. the CEO of Modern Beacon Synergy, relinquishing her ties.

At that time. for the sake of the Yates family, she had thrown herself into the fire, disregarding everything, and returned to them. “It's fine, as long as it's arranged. It’s my way to repay his kindness.

In her previous life. if he hadn’t simply buried her body, she might have been beyond recognition by the time Kenneth found her. Kenneth was a dangerous individual. Without getting a clear understanding of the situation, she couldn’t get close to him easily. Yet, for some reason, Cassandra subconsciously felt that Kenneth wouldn't harm her.

But she’d been hurt deeply by blood-related family members. For others, she didn’t know whether to trust them or not.

“Mom, Cassandra is too much!” Yulissa complained to Miranda.

However, she was not confident either, as Benjamin and Leonardo still hadn’t come

home.

She had no clue what was happening.

Miranda’s face darkened. ‘1564 points? Was Cassandra this outstanding?

‘But if she was Elaine, those grades had to be real!

“That brat! Why didn’t she reveal her identity carlier?°

Now, thinking back, Miranda regretted asking Benjamin to issue the estrangement

statement.

The Yates family was currently in trouble. If her own daughter was Elaine, and if she was willing to help, the Yates family would surely rise even higher.

Lost in her thoughts, Miranda ignored Yulissa. “Mom, why are you ignoring me?” Yulissa grumbled, lightly pushing Miranda to show her dissatisfaction.

Only then did Miranda come back to her senses. “Darling, I'll stand up for you, but the company is facing difficulties these days, so try not to provoke Cassandra for now!”

Yulissa snorted and replied dissatisfiedly, “Fine, Mom. But you have to help me.” Then, she went back to her room.

‘Damn it!

| can’t believe Mom has changed too!

‘What difficulties were the company facing? If she doesn’t want to help me, then don’t! ‘She just got interested after finding out that Cassandra was Elaine.

‘No way!

If she wants Cassandra back, it will depend on whether | agree or not. Her hatred grew out of bounds, but she seemed to forget about what Cassandra had said.

However, it didn’t matter. Someone would help her to remember.

As she was about to fall asleep, an unwelcome guest arrived in her room. “Ah- Mmph!”

Her voice was cut off with her mouth covered.

No one could hear her dries for help.

Yannick looked around her room and clicked his tongue. ‘No wonder it’s a snatched room; it’s quite spacious, he thought to himself.

Yulissa was terrified, but she dared not call for help, fearing to be silenced. “W-Who are you... Why are you here in my room?”

Yannick was speechless. Acting in haste, he forgot to give himself a nickname. “You don’t need to know who | am. | just need to know about you.”

Yulissa was even more scared. She trembled with fear. “W—What do you want?”

“Not much. | heard about your bet with someone, where you upped the ante yourself, and now you're not planning to own up to it?”

Yulissa couldn’t even think properly now. She wondered when she had made a bet. “| didn’t. | didn’t bet with anyone!”

“Don't lie to me, young lady. Have you forgotten about the bet between you and Ms. Yates?”

“I'm Ms. Yates!”

Yannick was speechless. What an idiot! he thought to himself.

“You must fulfill your bet with Cassandra. Quickly, write down everything you've done to her with your hand!” Yulissa immediately came to her senses as soon as she heard Cassandra’s name. ‘He was sent by the bitch.

‘I knew it!

‘She can’t stand to see me doing well.

“You were sent by Cassandra!” Yulissa suddenly wasn’t afraid anymore. She thought Cassandra had sent someone over because she couldn’t outwit her, and that she was

useless.

“Whether I’m sent by someone or not, | only know that if you don’t write it, you won't live through today!” Yannick spoke the most menacing words with the gentlest tone.

He drew a gun from his waist and pressed it on Yulissa’s forehead.
