Ex-Husband’s Love Dilemma

Chapter 70

Orlando glanced at Rebecca indifferently before he stood up. “Rebecca, Taylor found an apartment for you. You can have the housekeepers help you pack up your things tonight first and move there tomorrow, okay?” said Orlando before walking. out of the dining room.

Worriedly, Rebecca asked, “Landy, are you breaking up with me? Are you kicking me out?”

She waited, but all she got in response was Orlando’s silence.

Cassandra felt disappointed while staring at Orlando. ‘I can’t believe that despite all this, he’s still so kind and forgiving to Rebecca,’ she thought.

Subconsciously, she smirked, and the look in her eyes grew more distant.

However, Rebecca glared at her and vented all her dissatisfaction onto her. “Cassandra, you were the one who set me up.” blamed Rebecca.

“Don’t look at me that way. Or else, I can’t guarantee I won’t expose this matter to the public for your fans to see you for who you truly are.” Cassandra warned.

Rebecca fell silent, but the hatred in her eyes intensified.

Cassandra wiped her hands with the wet towel on the table before she got up and left.

At first, Cassandra actually wanted to expose this matter immediately and let everyone see Rebecca’s image as an innocent. idol be ruined. However, she thought it over carefully and realized that doing so would not necessarily completely convince the public. Instead, she would get backlash and get canceled. She didn’t want to attract too much attention to herself, so she decided to only let Orlando know about it

Cassandra was not naive enough to make Orlando completely fall out with Rebecca over this. After all, it was not so easy to change your feelings for someone if you loved them.

She just wanted Rebecca to move out of Dustmeadow Mansion. She didn’t want to live with Rebecca under the same roof

anymore.

Now that she got what she wanted, she was going to let the matter go.

Regarding Thomas, Cassandra had already had her guard up against him since Rebecca asked her to go to the hotel. The call afterward was made to Nellie, who had concrete evidence of Thomas‘ drug use. It was enough for Thomas to drag down the Sim family, so he dared not refuse to cooperate.

After this matter was settled, Cassandra didn’t feel relieved. Instead, she felt a little tired.

Back in the bedroom, Orlando was standing by the window. Seeing this, Cassandra walked in and closed the door behind her.

She stopped beside him. Facing him, she asked, “Orlando, are you unhappy?”

‘Is he upset because I showed him Rebecca’s true colors? she pondered.

Orlando pressed his lips into a thin line. After a moment of silence, he turned to her. “Did you know this matter was related to her from the start?” he asked quietly.

Cassandra’s eyes met his icy blue and unfathomable ones. Smiling faintly, she explained, “Yeah, I knew long ago. She thinks I

told you something during the fanmeeting, and that’s why you clarified your relationship with her in front of the reporters.

Orlando’s already furrowed brows furrowed further upon hearing that. “Why didn’t you tell me?‘ he demanded.

Tell you what?” Cassandra retorted.

“Cassandra, we are married. Do you think telling me about it is useless?” He seemed very angry.

Cassandra chuckled slightly. “I didn’t mean that. I just thought that I should solve the problem myself instead of having you be in a dilemma. It’d be tough on you to have to choose between standing with Rebecca or with me to fulfill your duty as a husband. Besides, settling it myself would be easier for you since you won’t have any trouble explaining to Rebecca.”

“So you’re saying that it’s for my good?” His eyes darkened, and there was coldness in them.

Cassandra pursed her lips and kept mum. She wondered. Is he blaming me for embarrassing Rebecca?”

Orlando stared at her before he spoke. “Cassandra, clearly, you knew that you’d be in danger. But to expose Rebecca, you still chose to take the risk and continue. Do you think you are that damn great for that? Do you know what kind of person Thomas is? How dare you meet him alone. Cassandra? Aren’t you afraid of the potential consequences?”

Cassandra was stunned. Is he being so emotional now because he’s scared about me getting hurt?”

She clenched her teeth and suddenly didn’t know what to say.

Her gaze on Orlando grew more distant. She whispered, “I have thought about it before. If this matter is not settled, it won’t end. It’s better to end this matter now rather than take risks all the time.”

If someone keeps provoking you, they won’t stop unless you scare them off, she asserted internally.

However, Orlando didn’t seem to think so. He sneered, “So you think you did the right thing? Just to reach your own damn goal, you are willing to risk everything, including yourself, without hesitation just to teach Rebecca a lesson? Cassandra, how many sides of you have you kept hidden from me?”

Although he was smirking, his eyes were angry and indifferent. He narrowed his eyes on Cassandra and then turned to the

bathroom.

Cassandra felt Orlando’s displeasure clearly. However, before he spoke, she almost thought that he was angry because she would put herself in harm’s way and disregard her own safety.

Nevertheless, what he just said made her fully understand now. He was just angry because she taught Rebecca a lesson. It was simply because if she hadn’t given Rebecca a punishment, their relationship would not have come to a stop. It was because Rebecca was wronged, and that was why he was unhappy.

She smirked at her own stupidity.

On the next morning, Rebecca moved out of Dustmeadow Mansion.

The condominium Orlando had set up for her was a half an hour’s drive from Dustmeadow Mansion. She had asked Sophia to check it out in advance. Everything was ready, and she only needed to move in with her bags.

“He didn’t make me move out because of Cassandra. He just happened to find a suitable place for me to stay, so that’s why he asked me to move out. He’s doing all this to protect me so I don’t get hurt, she convinced herself.

She blamed all her dissatisfaction and faults on Cassandra, but she also didn’t want Cassandra to see how she looked when she left, so she deliberately waited for Cassandra to go out before picking up her things and leaving.

Sophia drove there to pick her up, but Rebecca remained silent all the way.

Sophia saw that Cassandra was in a bad mood and comforted her, “Mr. Quinn is also doing this for your own good. If he didn’t do anything, Cassandra would definitely not let it go simply. You are still the most important person in his heart.”

Rebecca pulled down her sunglasses and looked at Sophia. “You think so too?” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Of course, Sophia replied.

Rebecca felt much better. She snorted and murmured to herself, “I’ll move out, but I’ll make sure you won’t have a good time either. Cassandra.”

After Rebecca moved, everything at Dustmeadow Mansion returned to how it was before.

The housekeepers were also relieved. Secretly, they would even grumble among themselves. “It’s good that Ms. Spencer has left. It’s so difficult to wait on her. Usually, when Mr. Quinn is around, she’s so gentle, but when he is not at home, she is way too mean to us,” a female housekeeper lamented..

“Exactly. Mrs. Quinn is better. She won’t try to win us over and won’t be demanding from us either. An employer like that is easy to wait on,” another housekeeper agreed.

Of course. Cassandra and Orlando didn’t know about these discussions because the atmosphere between them was tense and–cold again after what happened last night.

After Cassandra arrived at the company, she sorted out the design drawing of the interior design. She didn’t need to go to the construction site today, but she still had to go to Quinn Group.

The interior design drawing needed to be taken over to Zachary’s team for a look. Michael went with her this time.

On the way, Michael suddenly asked, “Have you settled the trouble Rebecca started?”
