Howard kept a close eye on Cherry Miller’s car, and when he saw she was indeed heading toward Fortune Garden, he called Cassie Kofi to report her movements.
"Great, I'll be right there." Cassie Kofi couldn’t wait and rushed out of her house.
She wanted to witness Cherry Miller’s humiliation in person and record it as a lifelong reminder for her.
"Resources she shouldn't access?" Mi Xiaoying twisted the ring on her left hand and said slowly, "Even second- and third-tier family ladies might not care for outsiders. I suppose the so-called family ladies Cassie Coffey met aren't legitimate daughters, are they?"
Cherry Miller, you brought this on yourself by refusing to give me Yin Yuhan.
"Mm, go on," Mi Xiaoying nodded.
The more prestigious the family, the more they value bloodlines.
That's because these families are almost always joined through powerful alliances—both sides are from prominent backgrounds.
So only legitimate children can inherit the family business.
As for those children raised outside the family, everyone just turns a blind eye.
After all, they can't take any resources meant for the legitimate sons and daughters, so they just get twenty or thirty thousand a month—like keeping a pet cat or dog.
And just like cats and dogs, these kids end up walking their own paths.
"One of Young Master Zhao's daughters once dated the leader of an organization. Cassie Coffey used her connection to Zhao's daughter to get in touch with them. Her plan today is to have someone ambush you at the entrance of Fuyuan when you arrive, and while you're parking, they'll kidnap you and... and..." The bodyguard couldn't finish his sentence.
"Go on," Mi Xiaoying's face darkened; she could already guess what was coming next.
Those illegitimate daughters—what else could they do besides play dirty tricks like this?
Sure enough, the bodyguard said, "They plan to take turns doing terrible things to you, to ruin your reputation completely, so you can't become the next mistress of the Yin family."
She regretted sending Howard to tail Cherry Miller.
That question was crucial.
If those people knew she was Mi Xiaoying and still dared to make a move, they wouldn't last a day in N City.
"They don't know. Cassie Coffey didn't tell them who the target is," the bodyguard replied. "She just said it's a young woman, nothing more. And I found out that the leader of that organization took the job and got a million from Cassie Coffey."
"A million? So that's all I'm worth?" Mi Xiaoying chuckled, but her eyes were cold and murderous.
Once Cassie Kofi was completely out, Cherry Miller drove up from another road.
After getting out of the car, those people loaded the unconscious Cassie Kofi into Cherry Miller’s car, while Cherry Miller got into Cassie Kofi’s car.
"Stick to the plan," Cherry Miller said, then drove away.
Cassie Kofi was put in Cherry Miller’s car, and someone wearing a devil mask got into the driver’s seat, speeding toward Fortune Garden.
At that moment, Howard had no idea that the Cherry Miller he was watching was actually her double.
"No," Mi Xiaoying sneered. "I've told Cassie before: you reap what you sow. If she's determined to ruin me, how could I disappoint her generosity?"
When Cassie Kofi arrived at Fortune Garden’s entrance, Cherry Miller’s double had already hidden away, erasing all traces.
Mi Xiaoying whispered a series of instructions to the bodyguard.
After the bodyguard finished listening, he paused. When he looked at Mi Xiaoying again, his eyes held a hint of respect—and distance.
Mi Xiaoying gave her instructions, then acted as if nothing had happened and went inside to rest.
After everything was done, the bodyguard reported the news to Cherry Miller.
Cherry Miller calmly replied, "Got it."
After hanging up, Cherry Miller turned and went to attend a local high-end salon.
Everyone there could vouch for her—she’d never been to Fortune Garden, never had any contact with Cassie Kofi.
"Before you do anything, think about the consequences."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Really?" Mi Xiaoying chuckled. "If you insist on going your own way, you'll only reap the bitter fruit."
"I don't understand what you're saying. Just tell me, when are you coming?"
"You invited me for lunch, and it's only breakfast time now. So, Cassie, what's the rush?"
"I'm not rushing, I just wanted to check if you're going to bail at the last minute."
Mi Xiaoying looked in the mirror at herself. She had already given Cassie plenty of chances.
Cassie, if you insist on bringing ruin upon yourself, don't blame me for being ruthless.
"I won't." Mi Xiaoying smiled at her reflection, her grin dazzling, but the murderous intent in her eyes was unmistakable.
"Good. I'll be waiting for you at Fuyuan." Cassie felt reassured by Mi Xiaoying's answer and hung up.
Mi Xiaoying picked up a towel, dried her face, and smiled at herself in the mirror.
Looks like she's about to make an example out of someone again.
Cassie, this is the path you chose—the path to your own destruction.
Around ten in the morning, Mi Xiaoying was already driving on the road.
Howard kept a close eye on Mi Xiaoying’s car, and when he saw she was indeed heading toward Fuyuan, he called Cassie to report her movements.
"Cassie Kofi, what happened? Who did this? Was it Cherry Miller? Did she send people after you? I’ll go find her!" Howard was heartbroken seeing Cassie Kofi like this.
She wanted to witness Mi Xiaoying’s humiliation in person and record it as a lifelong reminder for her.

Heh heh heh heh.
Mi Xiaoying, you brought this on yourself by refusing to give me Yin Yuhan.
You asked for this.
After today, whether you want to leave the Yin family or not, you’ll be kicked out!
Cassie sped toward Fuyuan in her car.
After passing three intersections, suddenly a car from the opposite direction lost control and crashed toward Cassie.
Startled, Cassie frantically turned her steering wheel, forced by the other car to swerve onto a side road.
"Are you crazy? Do you even know how to drive?" Cassie shouted angrily at the other driver.
The next second, another car appeared in front of Cassie, forcing her to a complete stop.
"Are you nuts? What do you want?" Cassie rolled down her window, about to curse.
But the next words got stuck in her throat.
The people in the other car were holding weapons, already aimed at her.
"What do you want? If it’s money, I have it! I’ll give you everything!" Cassie was so scared her face turned pale.
She regretted sending Howard to tail Mi Xiaoying.
If Howard were here, he’d never let anyone treat her like this.
"Get out of the car." The other person showed no mercy, roughly yanking Cassie out.
"You—" Cassie didn’t even finish her sentence before someone knocked her out.
Before she lost consciousness, Cassie didn’t even get a good look at her attackers’ faces.
Once Cassie was completely out, Mi Xiaoying drove up from another road.
After getting out of the car, those people loaded the unconscious Cassie into Mi Xiaoying’s car, while Mi Xiaoying got into Cassie’s car.
"Stick to the plan," Mi Xiaoying said, then drove away.
Cassie was put in Mi Xiaoying’s car, and someone wearing a devil mask got into the driver’s seat, speeding toward Fuyuan.
At that moment, Howard had no idea that the Mi Xiaoying he was watching was actually her double.
Both cars had identical license plates.
When Cassie arrived at Fuyuan’s entrance, Mi Xiaoying’s double had already hidden away, erasing all traces.
And the people Cassie had hired only recognized the license plate, not the person.
Seeing a car parked at Fuyuan’s entrance with the matching license plate, and a young, beautiful woman inside, they didn’t ask questions.
They simply grabbed Cassie and quickly disappeared from the entrance.
After everything was done, the bodyguard reported the news to Mi Xiaoying.
Mi Xiaoying calmly replied, "Got it."
After hanging up, Mi Xiaoying turned and went to attend a local high-end salon.
Everyone there could vouch for her—she’d never been to Fuyuan, never had any contact with Cassie.
As for the car...
For the rich, getting a car stolen isn’t all that unusual, right?
Dazed and aching all over as if she’d been run over, Cassie screamed loudly: "Ah..."
She opened her eyes to find herself in a strange place.
"Where am I? How did I get here? Howard, Howard, where are you?" Cassie shouted, but only her own echo answered.
Cassie was terrified, instinctively hugging herself.
Suddenly, her eyes fell on her own body.
The bruises and marks all over left Cassie completely blank.
Why did these marks appear on her?
What happened to her?
Enduring the pain, Cassie struggled to stand. There was a large mirror in the room.
Step by step, Cassie staggered toward it. When she saw her reflection, she screamed, blacked out, and fainted again.
When Cassie woke up again, she was already in a hotel room.
"Cassie, you’re finally awake!" Howard's voice helped Cassie regain her senses.
Cassie grabbed Howard’s hand, tears streaming down before she could say a word. "Howard, I... I..."
"Cassie, what happened? Who did this? Was it Mi Xiaoying? Did she send people after you? I’ll go find her!" Howard was heartbroken seeing Cassie like this.
He couldn’t bear to see someone he cared about humiliated like this.
Just then, Cassie's phone chimed—a file had been sent to her.
