When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 790 Cecilia Steps In

Faced with Queenie’s question, Cassandra suddenly found herself at a loss for words.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Paula also looked at her, hoping she would tell the truth.

However, Cassandra gave Paula a teary–eyed look and said, “Mdm. Paula, why are you saying such things?”

“My mom is my real mom. She raised me. Regardless of who gave birth to me, I only acknowledge her.”

Her words deeply touched Queenie.

However, Paula’s heart had already turned ice–cold.

It was one thing if Paula had ignored Cassandra her entire life, but every year, Paula would secretly meet with the latter and she would fulfill all Cassandra’s requests.

Years ago, when she married Ralph, she even brought along the Smith family’s assets as dowry. This was all done in an attempt to make amends to the daughter who hadn’t been by her side since childhood.

“Cassandra, one must have a conscience. I am, after all, your biological mother.”

The words Paula spoke now truly humiliated her. She now remembered what she had said to Cecilia in the past.

Cassandra’s expression remained unchanged.

“Mdm. Paula, please stop lying. I understand that you can’t accept Dad having another woman in his life, but you can’t take out your frustration with him on me,” Cassandra said with a pitiful. tone.

“You, you…”

Paula felt a sharp pain in her abdomen due to her anger.

She was dressed in a white hospital attire, and one could clearly–see her white pants gradually stained red with blood.

The caregiver was shocked. “Mdm. Paula, are you alright? We should head back to the hospital quickly.”

Upon seeing Paula in such a state, Cassandra also felt a bit scared.

Queenie, however, wore an expression of indifference. “You brought this upon yourself.”

Paula clutched the caregiver’s clothing tightly. “I’m not going back! Queenie, if you don’t believe. me, you can check for yourself. Cassandra has known for a long time that I am her biological mother. A few days ago, she took all of my savings. It was over a hundred million. Yet, when I came over today, she only gave me thirty thousand for medical expenses.”

Paula was genuinely disappointed in Cassandra. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have spilled everything Out

Although Queenie dearly loved her adopted daughter, she couldn’t help but feel a rising sense of doubt in her heart.

If it was indeed as Paula had claimed, then her adopted daughter was being far too cruel.

The woman standing before her was none other than her own mother.

Cassandra was afraid that Paula would say more, so she retorted sharply, “Mdm. Paula, when did I ever take your money? You should stop lying. The thirty thousand I gave you was out of goodwill, not obligation. You’re not my mother. I gave you money for treatment, and you have the audacity to say it’s not enough?”

After she finished speaking, she turned to the security guards. “What are you all doing standing there for? Do you think you’re watching some drama?”

Upon hearing this, the security guards couldn’t help but step forward, intending to escort Paula away.

Despite her increasing abdominal pain, Paula simply refused to leave.

The ongoing commotion naturally attracted a crowd of onlookers. Unbeknownst to Paula and the others, Cecilia was also among the crowd.

Cecilia hadn’t expected Paula to come over and reveal everything to Queenie.

Judging by Cassandra’s current demeanor, it seemed like she was afraid that Queenie would believe Paula.

Cecilia hadn’t forgotten that the ones behind the kidnapping of Jonathan and the ruining of her face were none other than Cassandra and her adoptive mother, Queenie..

Since there was an opportunity to upset the duo, Cecilia wasn’t going to let it go to waste.

“Ms. Evans, Mdm. Queenie.”

Cecilia moved through the crowd with Sven by her side to ensure she wasn’t harmed by the security guards.

Several people turned their gazes toward Cecilia, each one of them filled with surprise.

Facing Cecilia, Paula wished the ground would open up and swallow her whole. The thing she despised the most was her own shortcomings, especially when they were discovered by Cecilia, whom she had looked down upon.

She had assumed that Cecilia came forward out of a sense of schadenfreude. However, she hadn’t expected that the latter was there to help her. What surprised her even more was that while she hadn’t done a DNA test, Cecilia did.
