How Death Became My Rebirth novel Chapter 3

"What? Cassandra is their biological daughter? What about Yulissa? Is she adopted?"

"Didn't the Yates family state they only have one daughter? Yulissa must have been adopted if Cassandra is the biological one!"

"What are the Yates family thinking? Have they truly taken an adopted child as their own and provided her everything, while abandoning their real daughter in an orphanage?"

"I don't think it was an orphanage. Could she have been abandoned somewhere else and was only taken back some time ago?"

"Is Yulissa an illegitimate daughter?"

"Well, I also think so. Otherwise, it is stupid of the family to treat an outsider so well and ignore their own daughter."

There was a lot of chatter among the guests, and those unpleasant words could easily be heard on stage.

'That blasted Cassandra! She's trying to ruin me!' thought Yulissa. Her eyes turned red from crying, and she stepped back, appearing upset.

Hearing the criticism, the six brothers couldn't take it anymore.

Raymond lost his temper and shouted, "What on earth are you all talking about? There's only one daughter in the Yates family, and that's Lisa. Cassandra doesn't deserve to be part of the Yates family!"

All the guests were thinking, 'Wow, something big's gonna happen! Today's party is fantastic!'

"Cassandra, don't be absurd. You are the adopted child of our family. How can you claim to be our biological daughter?" Miranda clenched her fists, restraining the urge to fight Cassandra, and spoke in the most tactful manner possible.

"Really? But it was you guys who convinced me you're my parents with the DNA test report." Having said that, Cassandra took out an A4-sized sheet of paper from her pocket and unfolded it. "The DNA test report had a lot of pages, but I've always had the concluding page of the report on me. Is the report fake?"

A wicked smile graced Cassandra's face.

She wanted to back Benjamin and Miranda into a corner and force them to acknowledge who she really was.

"Of course—" Miranda initially considered lying.

"The report is true!" Benjamin admitted, cutting Miranda off.

However, he immediately regretted what he said.

As soon as he finished, the room was in an uproar.

"Treating your biological daughter like an adopted child and your adopted daughter like a biological one? How shameless!"

"That's totally beyond me!"

"Why would they prefer their adopted daughter over their own biological daughter?"

"The brothers said they only have one sister, Yulissa. What about Cassandra?"

"Could it be that the Yates family doesn't want to acknowledge Cassandra because she's too terrible?"

"The Yates family has put in so much effort in raising Yulissa to be a refined and graceful young lady. Cassandra can't hold a candle to her!"

"Since Dad is admitting I am his biological daughter, why did he just say that I was the adopted one? Are you refusing to acknowledge me because you hate that I grew up in the countryside? If that's the case, I'll just leave and give way to Yulissa." Cassandra found it effortless to speak in an affected manner.

Yulissa was delighted to hear that Cassandra wanted to leave.

She thought, 'Cassandra should leave as soon as possible. How dare she compete with me for Mom and Dad's affections?!'
