When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 567 Biased Toward Cassandra

Cecilia instructed the housekeeper not to let P’aula in again.

How could Paula, a person who didn’t even acknowledge her own daughter, be expected to acknowledge her grandson?

Meanwhile, after returning home, Paula was still plagued by bouts of abdominal pain. Cecilia had merely knocked me over, so how could that have caused my stomach to ache?

Paula initially wanted to see a doctor, but the pain had lessened not long after.

Unfazed, she switched on the television in the hospital room and saw a video of Cassandra dancing being broadcast.

As Paula watched her radiant and beautiful daughter on the television, she was overjoyed.

Magnus held out a stack of lawyer’s letters to her. “Mom, these are from Cecilia’s lawyers. She’s demanding we return the Smith family’s assets.”

Paula paused, taking the lawyer’s letters and the photocopy of the summons. “Cecilia is truly opposing me.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Mom, didn’t you tell me that we were only temporarily lending the money to the Evans family and that they would repay us double? Now that the Evans family has grown prosperous, they should return the money to me so I can manage the company.” Magnus was still lost in his daydreams.

Paula gave a reassuring pat on his shoulder. “Magnus, I’ve already given that money to Mr. Ralph. From now on, you’ll be working closely with Mr. Ralph. Also, Cassandra is now a renowned international dancer. All future wealth will be hers.”

Magnus also knew that Cassandra was Paula and Ralph’s daughter.

He hadn’t expected Paula to be so biased. “Mom, I’m also your son. Why do you favor Cassandra so much? Did she visit when you were at the police station?”

Paula frowned. “Cassandra is a public figure. What if the paparazzi catch her visiting me? Can you even compare yourself to her? She’s accomplished more than I ever did, and the entire Jamieson family’s wealth will be hers in the future. All you need to do is listen to her, and she’ll treat you well.”

Magnus had always believed that Paula had a soft spot for him. However, everything changed after they encountered Cassandra overseas.

It was only then that he truly understood the taste of the neglect Cecilia had experienced. “Are you sure you’re not giving my money back?”

Paula’s eyes were filled with indifference.

“Fine, very well. In this case, I won’t bother with you anymore. Let your beloved Cassandra take care of you, then.” Magnus rose and left the ward.

Paula used to care about his son, but as she noticed her son becoming increasingly useless, she stopped placing her hopes on him.

After leaving the hospital, Magnus didn’t know where to go.

He didn’t want to lead a life of mediocrity.

At that moment, a sleek black Bentley slowly pulled up in front of him. The rear window rolled. down, revealing a man’s striking face.

Magnus was momentarily taken aback when he saw the man.

“Get in the car,” Nicholas said.

After getting into the car, Magnus saw that there was nothing wrong with Nicholas‘ eyes, and only then did he recognize the latter. “Mr. Rainsworth, what’s this about?”

“I know you’re tired of always being second to others. I can help you,” Nicholas slowly began you’ll be my benefactor.”

Gratitude filled Magnus’s eyes. “Really? If you help me, you’ll be

Evidently, Nicholas showed no interest in what Magnus said. “But what could you possibly do for me in return if I were to help you?”

After hearing that, Magnus pondered for a moment before asking, “What is it that you desire? Whatever it is, I’ll help you obtain it.”

There wasn’t a flicker of emotion in Nicholas‘ eyes. “I don’t need anything else right now. All I ask is for you to listen to me. I’ll set up a company for you first.”

“All right. Okay.” Magnus couldn’t have wished for more of such great fortune falling on his lap.

Once he became a successful businessman and amassed wealth, he was determined to show up those like Ralph who had once looked down on him.
