When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 650 The Election Day

Priscilla paused for a moment, clearly feeling a bit guilty when she saw Cecilia walking towards her.

“You’re here early, Ms. Cecilia.”

“Yeah. Aren’t we electing the president of the parents‘ association today? Naturally, I had to come early. You did mention that you’d vote for me.”

“Of course.” Priscilla was all smiles.

Since the votes are anonymous, there’s nothing for me to worry.

Many mothers had already gathered at the school’s conference room, all engrossed in lively conversation.

When they saw Cecilia enter, they awkwardly averted their gaze, pretending not to have noticed her.

Cecilia didn’t really care.

After all, the real show was about to start soon.

What she hadn’t expected was that Helen, who had given her the parking card initially, came over and struck up a conversation with her. “You’re here, Ms. Cecilia.”

“Yeah,” responded Cecilia with a polite smile.

As she didn’t know if Helen was planning the same thing as Priscilla, Cecilia refrained from being too friendly.

Helen, however, pulled her aside and whispered, “Ms. Cecilia, perhaps you shouldn’t run to be the president of the parents‘ association today.”

Cecilia didn’t understand why Helen was reminding her.

“Why?”

Gathering her courage, Helen explained. “I arrived a bit early, so I overheard some of the other mothers chatting. They all mentioned that they will be voting for Miranda. I have the feeling that they are in cahoots. They’re planning to turn against you. If you decide to continue running for president, I’m afraid…”

Helen didn’t finish her sentence.

“Are you worried that I’ll be embarrassed if no one elects me?” asked Cecilia.

Helen nodded.

Realizing that Helen had her best interests at heart, Cecilia felt grateful.

“Don’t worry. I’m not afraid of being embarrassed. In fact, it would be more embarrassing if I were to drop out of the race. For the sake of my son, I must seize every opportunity.”

Last night, Cecilia had asked Jonathan if the students and teachers were still ignoring him.

Jonathan said that the teachers‘ attitudes had changed, but his classmates still refused to talk to him.

However, Jonathan also said that he didn’t care.

Cecilia knew that he just didn’t want to worry her. After all, a young child like him would. definitely be bothered by this.

Seeing how determined Cecilia was, Helen stopped persuading her. She said, “No matter what. my vote will definitely not change.”

“Aren’t you afraid of offending Miranda?” asked Cecilia.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Helen shook her head, her chubby face filled with determination. “At worst, my son will have to leave this place. I’ve thought it through. Our family isn’t rich anyway, so there’s no need to put so much stress on my child like the other mothers. My husband’s business went bankrupt, and now our child is being bullied at school every day. He’s not happy at all here. Coming from a family like ours, my child would be happier going to a normal school.”

After hearing this, Cecilia replied firmly, “Don’t worry, I won’t let Terry be forced to leave this place. If we were to leave, it would be on our own terms.”

“Okay.”

Although Helen said that, deep down, she felt that Cecilia was no match for Miranda. After all, Cecilia’s husband was now blind. A woman with a small business could not be able to go up against the Rainsworth family.

She simply wished that there would be more people voting for Cecilia so it the outcome would not be too pathetic.

While the two were chatting, the rest announced that Miranda had arrived.

Ms. Miranda.”

Some people in the parents‘ association were already referring to Miranda as the president of the parents association.

Everyone was praising her for her looks or her clothes.

Miranda smiled politely at those who were showering her with compliments. She then turned her gaze toward Cecilia, casting a triumphant glance her way.

She intended to make Cecilia the laughingstock among all the mothers that day.

How dare you even think about being the president of the parents association? Just look at yourself!
