Say what you would about Cassandra Haven. And she knew for a fact that a lot of people had a lot of things to say about her. Some called her the best mother. That one went to Derek. Some called her a fierce businesswoman. That one was for the people that she had worked with. Not only in the past, but also recently.
Even if she was no longer as involved in that side of things as she used to be, her business skills were still as sharp as ever.
Along with the praises. There were also many, less than polite things that she was called.
Others called her a venomous snake of a witch, who should have been stoned or burned at the stake. Some even said that she should be returned to the dark ages where she belonged. That one was how her brother-in-law described her. But since Cassandra made it a point, to not take anything that Sebastian Haven said seriously.
