It Was You

Chapter 886 A Delaying Tactic

"Martin..." Cassandra looked up, with unprecedented confusion in her dark eyes. "I have always wanted to ask you, but I'm afraid to uncover the festering scars of the past. But I really want to know whether you had a hard time alone when I was away."

This man carried all the burden on his back silently, even if he was on the line of life and death with the slaughtering knife hanging on his neck. No wonder she always felt that there was an indelible coldness in Martin's eyes. No wonder he was always cold and unapproachable. People respected him, feared him, hated him or resented him, but no one had ever asked him if he felt bitter.

With a slight smile on his thin lips, Martin kissed on Cassandra's forehead and said quietly, "I'm fine. I'm used to pain."

Standing there stiffly, Cassandra fixed her eyes on Martin. After a while, she put her arms around Martin's waist and pressed her head against the man's heart. She said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Don't be silly. No one will get used to living a hard life. You are a super rich man now, sweetheart. Come on, cheer up."

At first, Martin's back froze, but then he relaxed and looked down at the girl in front of him. Even if there was no good chance of winning in this battle and he didn't know what kind of abyss and cold pool this road would lead to, so what?

He had got what he wanted most. All the difficulties in his life had gone to the past.

On the second day, Cassandra and Martin got up early in the morning. Old Master Shen was suddenly dead. They had to go there in person, just for the sake of Lenny.

Recently, the Shen family had been involved in a series of funerals. Although the Shen family had a high status and the bosses had to come over, some people thought it was bad luck. After coming to the funeral, they left in a hurry, and the funeral parlor was particularly quiet.

The weather was not good today. It was dark. The funeral parlor was against the mountain. The whole funeral parlor seemed to be shrouded in a layer of dark clouds, which was particularly cold and frightening.

As soon as Cassandra and Martin got off the car, they saw from afar that Arthur was leaning against the door with a cigarette in his mouth, frowning.

Cassandra walked quickly to him, "Mr. Arthur, why are you wandering here alone?"

With a sad look on his face, Arthur said, "It's going to be a fight inside. As a son-in-law, do you think I should help my father-in-law to fight or persuade him not to fight? Neither of them is appropriate. Lenny asked me to stay outside. How about you two bring me inside? "

Hearing this, Cassandra felt her head dizzy again. What the hell was going on?

Embarrassed for a while, Cassandra said, "Look, they have driven you out. If you go in again, maybe there will be a fight. The dead are the most important. Just wait here, okay?"

Arthur sighed and said innocently, "It's okay for me to compromise, but I'm afraid that they will bully Lenny. If the two of them work together, the situation changes fast."

Cassandra was stunned, "What did you say?"

Arthur rubbed between his eyebrows and said, "I was saying that that man, Hancock and others have changed. This old man actually stands by Fiona's side. Lenny was so angry that he and my father-in- law almost hit Hancock just now."

'Your father-in-law...

How could you call him so smoothly?'

Cassandra rolled her eyes at him. "You really have no right to interfere in other people's family affairs, but why did Hancock suddenly change his mind? Or did you expose something?"

Fiona and Hancock fought to the death, and Lenny took advantage of them. This was what they had expected. What's wrong with Hancock? Why did he help Fiona instead?

"I guess we went to find Professor Hu. Someone got nervous and took action." Arthur looked up and said slowly.

Cassandra frowned and nodded, "I know what you mean. Wait outside. I'll go in with Martin to see what's going on."

Arthur pursed his mouth and said with grievance, "Don't just focus on your man. Keep an eye on Lenny He's not in a good mood. He's easy to be bullied."

Cassandra was speechless.

'All right, I'll enjoy this public display of affection, okay?'

At the same time, in the funeral parlor. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

In the mourning hall.

In the cold and gloomy mourning hall, the atmosphere was somewhat stagnant. Almost all the relatives of the Shen family had arrived, and a large number of people knelt down inside and outside. The sudden death of Old Master Shen cast a shadow over the future of the Shen group.

Although Old Master Shen had admitted that Fiona was the future heir of the Shen group, Scales suddenly passed away and Fiona made several mistakes. Old Master Shen was obviously hesitant, not

to mention that the Hancock and his son were eyeing him. No one knew who would take charge of the Shen group in the future.

When it comes to interests, you can't see the family affection at all, and even the closest person around you can be the executioner who push you into the abyss. Everyone is wearing a mask, so you can't see clearly how twisted the face is hidden under the mask.

As soon as Cassandra and Martin arrived, the whole mourning hall became active. Martin had a special identity, and whoever he supported would be the most likely to inherit the Shen group in the future.

"Martin..." Fiona's face was pale and painful. The moment she saw Martin, she seemed to grab the last life-saving straw and stood up from the ground.

Scales and Old Master Shen died one after another which was no different from a fatal blow to her. The once famous celebrity of the capital city was like a withered flower, losing her former high spirit.

Martin nodded slightly, "I'm sorry."

Fiona's eyes were red and bloodshot. She stared at Martin and said, "Dad and grandpa left so suddenly. I... I really don't know what to do, Martin, I... "

"Before Old Master Shen died, he made a will. Since Mr. Martin is here, why don't we make the content of the will public in front of him? What do you think?" Hancock interrupted Fiona's words, and the old fox finally couldn't help revealing his fox tail.

Hearing this, Fiona's pale face suddenly showed an unprecedented shock and anger. Just now, Hancock stood on her side and spoke for her, but when he turned around, Hancock couldn't wait to show his true face.

It seemed that even if Hancock helped her just now, it was just a tactic of delaying the war.
