How Death Became My Rebirth novel Chapter 5

In the Yates residence, several people were sitting in the living room, encircling Yulissa with concern.

This was because Yulissa had cried once more.

"It's all my fault. I-If I had moved out earlier, Cassandra wouldn't have done this. I blame myself. But I just can't bear to part from my parents and brothers. Why is Cassandra so mad at me?" Yulissa cried sorrowfully.

She hadn't expected Cassandra to be so resolute.

'But Cassandra, don't think you can gain the favor of our parents and brothers this way! They only love me! You are simply making a fool of yourself!' she silently mocked.

"Lisa, don't cry. It pains me to see you in tears," Miranda said, her face filled with distress.

'Lisa is so understanding. If only she were my biological daughter! That darn Cassandra is a total ingrate! I've had it with her!' she thought.

"Lisa, you are our sister. Do not say anything about moving out again. Cassandra was just making a fuss to attract attention." Leonardo comforted her, his heart aching at the sight of Yulissa's crying face.

At the same time, he was utterly displeased with Cassandra's behavior tonight.

'How dare she, a sister who has been away for 18 years... No, she is not our sister. How dare she try to get our attention? She even made Lisa cry. That girl seriously deserves to be taught a lesson! Once she returns, I must lock her up for a week and make her change her temper. She's really going too far! Completely ill-mannered!' he pondered.

"That's right, Lisa. Don't worry. Someone like her will come back in no time, for sure. She won't leave our family," Yohannes suddenly said, reassuring her.

Aa a teenage musician and accomplished violinist, Yohannes had obtained numerous awards. At present, he was on a world tour and gearing up for the Camille International Music Competition.

Only after he became the winner of this competition could his abilities be recognized by the world.

Yohannes wholly believed that the Yates family had provided Cassandra with a good life, and she was only causing a commotion now to seek their attention after witnessing the affection they had for Yulissa.

He was confident that Cassandra would return to apologize after they had ignored her for two days.

"Will Cassandra really come back? Leo, are you lying to me?" Yulissa looked at Leonardo expectantly.

Her gaze almost melted Leonardo's heart.

'Lisa is such an amazing little sister. Cassandra seriously doesn't know her place. If she could show the same love to Lisa as we do, we would be okay with accepting her as our sister. But she is such an ingrate, desiring the love that doesn't belong to her,' he mused.

Meanwhile, Yulissa snickered in her heart, 'Come back? It's best if she never comes back at all. Only I, Yulissa Yates, deserve to be the daughter of the Yates family.'

"She will come back. When she does, we will make her apologize to you," Jasper consoled Yulissa softly.

He always had plenty of patience with this baby sister of his.

Hearing that, Yulissa smiled through tears and nodded cutely.

"I'm glad she'll come back," she said.

Not long after, Robert Zahn, the butler, came in to report.

"Mr. and Mrs. Yates, there's a man outside who claims to have been sent by Ms. Cassandra Yates..." he trailed off, adding "to deliver money" mentally.

Robert felt that the Yates family was being too harsh toward Cassandra.

They were too ruthless toward their own flesh and blood. He used to think that the Yates brothers were all extraordinary and outstanding individuals, so it was a shock for him to find out how cruel they could be toward a girl.

Benjamin's face fell. He thought, 'What prank is this brat pulling now?'

"Let him in," Benjamin said.

'Just in time. I'll have this man inform Cassandra to get her ass back home after she's done throwing her tantrum!' he contemplated.

"Yes, Mr. Yates," replied Robert.

In the hospital, Jeremiah skillfully bandaged Cassandra's wound and even topped it off meticulously with a big bow.

"All done. Avoid exposing it to cold water for a few days," Jeremiah instructed.

"You don't have to tell me that." Cassandra rolled her eyes.

This was routine for Cassandra. It was unnecessary for him to remind her.

'But can I take off the bow? It really affects my image greatly,' she grumbled inwardly.

"Where are you going to stay?" he asked.

Cassandra had several properties registered under her name. If they continued to remain vacant, they would soon be covered in layers of dust. 'Once she decides where to stay, I'll go over to enjoy free meals!' thought Jeremiah.

"Springmount Townhouse, I guess," she said.

Springmount Townhouse was conveniently located downtown, close to her school.

Cassandra, who was just 18, had already acquired a doctorate degree from various top universities under the alias Elaine. However, after reuniting with the Yates family, she willingly complied with their arrangements and enrolled in an elite high school as a Grade 12 student.

In the previous life, after the SAT results were released, Yulissa didn't make it. On the contrary, Cassandra became the top scorer in the city of Drieso with a score of 1574. But what did Yulissa do?

Yulissa cried, blaming Cassandra's existence for her poor performance in the exams. She pleaded for help from their brothers, saying she didn't wanna miss the opportunity to go to college.

Afterward, they let Yulissa take Cassandra's place and enroll at Juset University with a full scholarship.

In this new life, Cassandra was determined to regain the honor that Yulissa had stolen from her.

'Yulissa Yates, just wait and see what I have in store for you this lifetime!' swore Cassandra resolutely.
