Chapter 878
David looked at Cassie affectionately and said, "I'd rather worry about the company than see you sad."
nbsp;
Cassie trembled.
nbsp;
Although Cassie had long known that David loved her deeply, she never imagined that he would be willing to sacrifice the future of the company for her.
nbsp;
"David, I'm not worth it," Cassie said softly, sincerely, yet helplessly.
nbsp;
"Cassie, you are worth it," David said gently but sincerely. "You are now the chairwoman of a fifteen nbsp;billion-dollar conglomerate, Aiden's nbsp;daughter, and the chief executive of Hazle Corporation. With so many prestigious titles, there are men lining up to marry you. Yet, you say you are not worth it. nbsp;On the contrary, I feel like I've punched above my weight with you."
nbsp;
"Don't joke around. The Wit Group is now in the top fifty of large national enterprises, and the media often reports on you, the young and rising CEO. Many heiresses from wealthy families want to marry you," nbsp;Cassie joked.
nbsp;
"But I don't want to marry someone I don't love," David interrupted Cassie. "For me, marriage means not forcing myself to marry a woman I don't love."
nbsp;
Cassie fell silent.
nbsp;
"I'll contact Felix right now." David stood up.
nbsp;
"Wait." Cassie suddenly stopped David, biting her lip. "I want to talk to Joseph again."
nbsp;
"Talking to Joseph won't help," David disagreed, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes. "Cassie, are you afraid of owing me, or have you developed uncontrollable feelings for Joseph during this time you've spent with him?"
nbsp;
"No," Cassie couldn't bear to hurt David and denied it outright. "David, things haven't gotten so bad that you need to use the company to save Spencer. You have to think about it. If we show all our strength now, it will be difficult to compete with Dragon later."
nbsp;
"But..." nbsp;he then said.
nbsp;
"I have my way. I appreciate your kindness, and I know you are the best person for me." Cassie stood up. "It's late, I have to go."
nbsp;
"Cassie." David suddenly hugged Cassie from behind, his tone filled with pain. "I don't care about you being with Joseph now. I'll pretend I didn't see it, won't think about it, and won't be sad. But can you promise me that after this is over, you'll marry me?"
nbsp;
"David, it's not fair to you." Cassie was torn inside, feeling unworthy of David.
nbsp;
"I understand. Right now, in order to make Joseph love you again, you and Joseph... must have had a relationship." David's eyes showed pain, but he kept smiling. "But in this day and age, many women are not virgins when they get married; they've had many ex-boyfriends before marriage, and some have even had abortions. I'm not that conservative. I want your future, not your past."
nbsp;
"Okay." nbsp;After a long silence, Cassie finally nodded. "As long as you dare to marry, I do."
nbsp;
Cassie owed too much to David, who had silently protected her all this time. She couldn't let David down anymore.
nbsp;
After leaving David's residence.
nbsp;
Cassie called Liam, "Joseph caught my subordinate. I want to visit Dragon tomorrow morning, but I must ensure that I can safely leave Dragon. I want to borrow Sophia."
nbsp;
Liam instantly understood. nbsp;"You want to use Sophia to threaten Joseph?"
nbsp;
"Yes, Joseph doesn't know about my relationship with Sophia. I have no other choice." Cassie sighed.
nbsp;
"You are Sophia's mother; you won't harm Sophia, but Joseph won't see it that way," Liam worriedly said. "This will completely rupture your relationship with him, and Joseph will definitely forbid Sophia from seeing you in the future."
nbsp;
"That's why I need to see Spencer nbsp;urgently to clear his suspicion," Cassie narrowed her eyes nbsp;and remarked. "Only then will Joseph stop targeting me."
nbsp;
"Are you sure you can find evidence?" Liam sounded skeptical.
nbsp;
"I can. No plan is flawless," nbsp;she then answered.
nbsp;
At three in the morning, Cassie received a call from Peter. nbsp;"Cassie, I've arrived at Whisperlyn City."
