When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 689 Take Care Of The Money

“Mom, are you feeling better now?” Cassandra asked, sitting by the bedside.

Paula’s previous discontent seemed to melt away when she noticed Cassandra staying by her side. late into the night. “Much better now. You’ve had a long day.”

“No worries, Mom. You’re my mother. I need to show you respect and care,” Cassandra replied, holding her hand. After a moment, she added, “However, there’s something I’ve been meaning to discuss, though I’ve been hesitant because I didn’t want to worry you.”

“What’s the matter? Go ahead, tell me.”

“I think it might be wise to start planning for the future, given your current situation,” Cassandra suggested, trying to be as tactful as possible.

Paula quickly understood the implication. “Are you talking about death? Didn’t the doctor say that with treatment, I could live for at least two more years?”NôvelDrama.Org © content.

“Mom, please don’t be upset,” Cassandra said gently. “I want you to live as long as possible. But we need to be prepared for the future. If something were to happen to you, like what happened today, I wouldn’t know what to do with your belongings.”

Paula listened in silence, a wave of disappointment surfacing once more. “Cassandra, I don’t have much money left.”

Seeing her mother’s reluctance, Cassandra felt a surge of annoyance. “Mom, do you not trust me? Do you think I’m only interested in your savings? Remember, I’m not just your daughter but also Queenie’s adopted child. Queenie made a will stating that all her properties would pass to me after her death. The Jamieson family is so wealthy and influential. Do you really think I would cover your money?”

“Besides,” Cassandra continued, “Queenie may have been my adoptive mother, but you’re my birth mother. It doesn’t make sense for my adoptive mother to care for me more than my birth mother, does it?”

The remark hit Paula hard.

After giving birth to Cassandra, Paula had abandoned her due to emotional issues with Ralph.

She had always felt guilty about abandoning her daughter, but hearing Cassandra suggest that her adoptive mother was more caring than she was struck a painful chord.

That’s not what I meant,” Paula said, visibly upset. “Go to my room and look for a bank deposit

the safe. Take it to the bank and ask for Mr. Jacobson. The password is your birthday”

Cassandra had never imagined that reverse psychology could be so effective, “All right, Mom. F

ike good care of this money for you.”

Paula nodded.

She had initially wanted to share her encounter with Cecilia tonight with Cassandra, but Cassandra said, “Mom, it’s getting late. I’m pregnant, so I’ll head home now and come see you

tomorrow.”

“All right.” Paula had no choice but to let her go.

After Cassandra returned, she immediately went to Paula’s room. She opened the safe and, ast expected, found the bank deposit slip.

Ralph, who was still awake, joined her and took a look at the document.

The amount in the bank account was astonishing–an impressive one billion five hundred million.

“I knew your mom had more than just a billion or two. She’s been pulling the wool over our eyes,” Ralph remarked.

Cassandra handed over the deposit slip to Ralph. “Dad, take this to help the company get by.”

She had her own money and didn’t need any at the moment.

“All right. Thank you.” Ralph’s eyes glistened with hope.

“Don’t thank me, Dad. We’re a family. These past few days have been utterly exhausting. You have no idea–she even wet her seat today. It was so embarrassing” After heaving a sigh, Cassandra continued, “I’m glad you didn’t end up with her back then. I believe Queenie is the one who truly deserves to be my mother.”

Ralph nodded in agreement. “It’s a shame that Queenie isn’t as beautiful as your mother once was. But then, your mother is old now anyway.”

Ralph still harbored hopes of reuniting with Queenie. Unfortunately, Queenie was a woman of steel. Ever since Ralph’s infidelity, she had promptly filed for divorce.

If it weren’t for Cassandra, Queenie would have already taken action against Ralph.
