Chapter 457
The sudden commotion startled Rosalind. Joseph seemed to have lost control, wreaking havoc in the dining and living room, his hands bleeding. She attempted to call Cassie, but to no avail. As the chaos escalated, she had no choice but to call Joyce Ray, who had been taking care of Joseph recently.

Leaving the KFC, Cassie wandered aimlessly along the road, leaving her car behind. Time seemed to lose its meaning until she found herself at Funland Oasis. Above the castle, fireworks exploded into a dazzling display.
Transfixed, she watched as a couple strolled past.
"What beautiful fireworks!" the woman exclaimed.
"Do you know why they're set off at this time every week?" the man asked.
"What time is it? Let me see... 9:20 PM, and it's Friday. 5920... I just love you?"
The man laughed, "That's clever. I heard this amusement park was created by a wealthy man for his girlfriend years ago. On the eve of the grand opening, he proposed to her here. They say there were fireworks all night long, even spelling out the word LOVE in the sky. Since then, come rain or shine, every Friday night has fireworks. Legend has it, couples who watch the fireworks together here are blessed with lifelong happiness."
"That's so romantic, I'm so envious of that couple, they must be living happily ever after."
"Yeah."
Their voices faded into the distance.
When Cassie snapped back to reality, she found herself in tears.
5920, an amusement park, fireworks.
Such a beautiful fairy tale.
It was just too bad that the wealthy man ended up marrying her, the ugly duckling, and his true love was no longer by his side.
At that moment, Cassie felt like a fool. She regretted it, wishing she'd never returned to him, then perhaps her heart wouldn't be in so much pain now.
...
At midnight, Cassie dragged her weary legs into the mansion.
Rosalind, who had been dozing off on the couch, was startled awake by her return. "Oh, Rosalind, you're back."
"Mhm," Cassie replied, heading for the stairs.
"Rosalind, why are you back so late?" Rosalind suddenly stepped in front of her with a sheepish grin. "Have you eaten? Are you hungry? I can make you some late-night snack."
"I'm not hungry," Cassie brushed past Rosalind.
"Did you at least have some milk? I can make you a cup," Rosalind asked eagerly, blocking her path.
Cassie paused for a few seconds, looking upstairs, "Rosalind, what's up there that you keep holding me back?"
Rosalind nervously touched her hair, "Nothing, I mean..."
Cassie didn't give her the opportunity to continue and pushed past, rushing upstairs.
She burst into the bedroom, instantly noticing a feminine scent that wasn't hers.
