When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 374



Chapter 374 Confronted By Two Women

Upon arriving at Tudela, Cecilia had met with Charlotte before making her way to the outside of Orion Corporation.

Cecilia sat in a nearby café, waiting for Charlotte. Charlotte was equipped with a recording. device, ready to update her with information at any moment.

Gazing at the towering office building of Orion Corporation, Cecilia leaned back in her chair, sipping her coffee with a hint of apprehension.

A person had stood before her, and she hadn’t even noticed..

“Cecilia!”

When Cecilia heard the voice, she turned around to see who it was. It was Stella’s good friend, Yvette.

“What are you doing here?” Yvette initially couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw Cecilia. But as she got closer, she was surprised to find out it was indeed Cecilia.

Cecilia found her question amusing. “Why can’t I be here?”

Upon hearing that, Yvette was infuriated and retorted, “You nearly ruined Stella’s career, and yet you still have the audacity to stay in Tudela. How can you be so shameless?”

Unexpectedly, someone was still standing up for Stella even at this point.

Cecilia wasn’t in the mood to indulge her, though. “Really? Did I force her to record that video?”

“Stella said the video was fabricated, that the person in it wasn’t her at all!” Yvette retorted.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“And you just believed her words? Don’t you have a mind of your own? Whether it’s a fabrication. or not, a simple investigation would reveal the truth. I trust that as the prominent young lady of the Harrison family, you would be capable of investigating that, right?”

Yvette was rendered speechless after hearing that.

She stormed out of the door, immediately dialing a number to inform Stella that Cecilia was here.

Stella was in the midst of preparing for a new drama.

After her last apology, she had finally managed to start taking on roles again. As such, she didn’t want to deal with Cecilia just yet.

After thanking Yvette for informing her, she ended the call.

While Yvette was in a huff, she happened to run into Paula just as he was getting out of his car.

Paula came over because she heard that Cecille was visiting Orion Corporation. She wanted to help her daughter, Cassandra, get the music score first.

“Yvette, who did you just say was here?”

Yvette hadn’t expected such a coincidence today, running into both Cecilia and Paula. “Your daughter, Cecilia,” she replied, somewhat annoyed.

After she finished speaking, she got into her car and left.

Upon hearing that Cecilia was present, Paula was reminded of the scene a few days ago when Cecilia had rudely told her to leave.

Also, she recalled the will that was in Cecilia’s hands.

She then headed to the café, and sure enough, she saw Cecilia sitting by the window, engrossed in her computer.

Paula tapped on the table. “It seems I’ve underestimated you before. Have you found a job now?”

Immediately, Cecilia shut down her computer, not allowing her to see the sheet music on the screen.

Paula no longer cared, though. What kind of job could Cecilia, in her crippled state, possibly find anyway?

“I forgot something when you kicked me out in a hurry the other day. Where’s the will?”

She extended her hand as she continued, “Hand me the will. You should know well that I am your father’s wife. Even if he left a will, I am entitled to half of the marital assets. Give me that invalid will.”

“In that case, what do you want the will for?” Cecilia asked in a soft voice.

Paula was taken aback.

She hadn’t anticipated how sharp–tongued Cecilia had become these days. Suddenly, her phone started ringing.

Seeing that it was from her assistant, she answered the call. “Ms. Cecille is about to leave Orion Corporation.”

Upon hearing this, Paula didn’t have time to waste talking to Cecilia any further and hurriedly left.

Charlotte’s voice came through Cecilia’s hearing aid, stating that everything had been arranged, and all that was left was for her to make the decision when the time came.

Cecilia left the café as well, only to see that Paula had intercepted Charlotte before she could even reach the latter.

Immediately, Cecilia activated the eavesdropping device installed in her hearing aid and heard

“You must be Ms. Cecille, right? I didn’t expect you to be so young. I am Cassandra’s mother. Could I possibly have a word with you?”

The part where she said she was Cassandra’s mother exploded in Cecilia’s mind.
