How Death Became My Rebirth

Cassandra was rendered speechless.

She felt like she was preaching to deaf ears.

“Whatever you think. I’m sure you won't part from Yulissa. So, just forget it. Don’t put on a pitiful act in front of me.” Cassandra said.

Jonathan glanced at everyone in the Yates family and stated, “I must remind you that

my client is the victim in this case. Before requesting her withdrawal from the lawsuit, consider whether you can overpower her with your influence.”

Cassandra and Jonathan then ignored the Yates family and left.

But in that instant, Jonathan had a video posted on the law firm’s official Twitter

account.

The video depicted Cassandra's experience with bullying at the elite school, accompanied by the caption: [School violence is a matter of great concern for both the state and legal professionals. Our victim, Cassandra, a recent transfer to Xemrich High School, endured two months of school violence from her classmates. Despite calling the police, she was persuaded to seek a peaceful solution. Unable to tolerate the persistent bullying, Cassandra eventually felt compelled to turn to the legal system in self-defense. Our firm implores everyone to give school violence the serious consideration it merits. This video clip offers a crucial and comprehensive glimpse into the realities of student bullying. If necessary, our law firm welcomes inquiries regarding access to the full video. We also encourage your rigorous examination to validate its authenticity]

Drieso Perennial Law Group was the only one with the audacity to present such a bold and unequivocal statement.

For the first time, Perennial Law Group's Twitter surged to the list of trending topics! Comments flooded in under the video. [I'm flabbergasted! Are these people even human? | feel so angry when | watch the video that | want to kill them!]

[Oh, my goodness! What’s the school doing? What's the police doing?]Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

[Focus on the key points! The victim had called the police, but they didn’t deal with it and merely asked the victim to resolve things peacefully. They were most probably afraid of making trouble for themselves!]

[Tell me which police district is involved! Were the police even interested in serving people? A young lady was severely bullied in school, but they advocated for a peaceful

solution. Did they even take it seriously?]

[The policeman who was on duty at that time should be severely reprimanded!]

(What’s wrong with these students? What did Cassandra do to make them all target her?]

There is no reason for school violence, but these people are really vicious. Is that how the school teaches their students?]

| know some information. I’m from this school, but | am a freshman. A few days ago, one of the victim’s classmates came out to apologize publicly on the radio station. It was their class president!]

| remember it too after the reminder from the previous comment. | am also in this school. I’m Grade 12. | saw the police a few days ago. According to what the blogger said, it should be Cassandra who called the police. It seems that after the police learned about the situation, they advised Cassandra not to make a big deal out of it, saying that it would affect the class’s performance on the SAT. However, according to others, the perpetrators didn’t even issue an apology to the victim!]

(Are you telling the truth? The police went over, but they didn’t even ask the perpetrators to issue an apology?]

Reply to the previous comment: I’m not sure. All | know is that the police came the other day, right the day before the student issued a public apology on the radio station!]

Does the school even bother? How did the police do their work?]

[Am | the only one sensing something off about the girl they were surrounding? She consistently addressed the victim with an intimate tone, yet | can’t shake the feeling of insincerity. | even suspect her classmates were incited by her.]

‘To the previous comment, | feel the same too after you say that. The world is too terrible. | hope Cassandra can get her justice served!]

An hour later, another tweet surfaced on the official account of Perennial Law Group: [Today's trial concluded. Our client was kidnapped and arrived ten minutes late. Upon discovering the truth, the majority of the defendant's family opted for a court- mediated resolution and publicly apologized to our client, agreeing to appropriate compensation.]

The post continued: [In the spirit of humanitarianism, and recognizing that most students are first-time offenders who only harmed my client once, she chose to forgive. Currently, only one defendant has yet to apologize and was involved in kidnapping our client. We will wield the weapon of the law to safeguard our client and never yield to the powerfull]

TO FLD

So today was the court session. No wonder the evidence was made public!]

70%

| don’t know what to say anymore. | can’t believe they even kidnapped the victim!]

I'm utterly flabbergasted. How can a perpetrator be so lawless? Do they have someone in high places covering for them? Could someone from the Public Integrity Section investigate their background? Is there anyone in authority who has accepted bribes and thus turned a blind eye to the bullying? Is that why the perpetrator’s family is acting so brazenly?]

It must be the girl who added fuel to the fire with her words. She didn’t apologize and probably thought she was right!]

| think so too. It must be her!]

This girl is truly malicious. The ones who engaged in the bullying might appear evil on the surface, but this girl is rotten to the core!]

Please perform a strict investigation on this case! | hope Cassandra is all right.]

Perennial Law Group posted another tweet: [We appreciate your concern. We're relieved to report that our client is safe, and the culprits have given full confessions. In a gesture acknowledging their genuine remorse, Cassandra has requested each of them to carry out fifty good deeds, to be duly recorded. We turn to our online community for their oversight in this matter.]

Along with this update, they tagged a newly created Twitter account dedicated to documenting the good deeds of the former kidnappers.

[Okay, I'll supervise!]

[I'll supervise!]

[Maintain daily updates! They can’t afford to miss a single good deed.]

Meanwhile, the Yates family walked out of the law firm with their faces full of anger.

Suddenly, Benjamin and Leonardo’s phones rang at the same time!

“What?” Both of them exclaimed in unison and were shocked!

“Okay, | see.”

They hung up the phone and looked at each other. The anger in their eyes could not be hidden anymore!

“What happened?” Miranda asked with concern.

“Just now, the video played in court has been posted on the Internet by Jonathan’s law firm,” said Leonardo.

“Moreover, some of our company’s partners recognized Yulissa and expressed their unwillingness to continue the collaboration... As a result, four partners have just withdrawn their investments.” Benjamin looked visibly distressed.

The four partners were major players in crucial industries, and their withdrawal would result in losses totaling tens of millions of dollars.

‘Da mn it, Cassandra! | shouldn’t have let her back in the first place. She’s disobedient and makes trouble everywhere!’ Benjamin thought.

“Withdrew their investment?” Miranda widened her eyes

disbelief!

“Well, according to preliminary calculations, the loss is 120 million dollars.” Benjamin got even angrier after saying that.

“D amn Cassandra! She's such a jinx!” Miranda said fiercely.

“Dad, Mom, I'm sorry. It’s all my fault. If | had stopped my classmates in time, | wouldn’t have let Cassandra get hurt. Now, it’s also my fault that the company is involved...”

She continued, I'll apologize right away. I’m going to kneel down and apologize to her, begging her not to sue Leo. If she doesn’t want to see me, I'll leave now.” Yulissa was frightened. She hadn't anticipated the repercussions to be so severe.

Therefore, she took the blame and cried!

Now, Benjamin and Miranda hated Cassandra even more!

“My dear Lisa, why are you so kind? Are you trying to break my heart?” Miranda held Yulissa in her arms and gently patted her back to comfort her.
