Chapter 236

Cassandra kept her midday meal light a simple bowl of homemade chicken soup before heading to the family estate’s private memorial room to pay her respects. The Sinclair family was one of the most influential dynasties in the business world, with their own dedicated sanctuary where portraits and plaques commemorated Cassandra’s late parents, brothers, and close relatives. But as a woman, tradition dictated that she could not enter the inner sanctum of the memorial room. She was only permitted to honor her family from the outer hall.
