When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1025

Chapter 1025 Her Only Daughter
After Queenie left, only Cecilia and Cassandra remained in the ward.

Not wanting to waste any time, Cecilia passed the documents over to Cassandra.

“Ms. Evans, these are the financial reports from our joint venture. Please review them and let me know if there are any issues.”

Cassandra, however, did not respond. Instead, she said, “I'm thirsty. Could you pour me a cup of water first?”

Seeing the situation, Cecilia had no choice but to first fetch her a cup of room temperature water.

Cassandra took a sip from the water she'd fetched, unsatisfied.

“I need some hot water,” Cassandra said, deliberately being difficult. “Cecilia, is this how you manage Orion Corporation's sales department? You can't even pour a cup of water properly.”

“If you're unsatisfied, you're welcome to liaise with someone else.” Cecilia maintained her composure.

A smirk of mockery tugged at the corners of Cassandra's mouth. “Well, what if I don't want to? What can you possibly do to me?”

Cassandra then held out the water cup to Cecilia once again. “Now, pour me a cup of hot water!”

When Cecilia was just about to reach out to take the cup, Cassandra lifted her hand with force and splashed a large cup of water onto Cecilia's body.

Cecilia didn't even have time to dodge, and she was completely drenched. Her hanging hands slowly clenched into fists.

“Are you upset?” Cassandra's face was full of smugness. “If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for your humble birth. If you had a powerful mother, you wouldn't be bullied by me, right?”

Cassandra was right about what she said.

If Cecilia had someone like Queenie as her mother, she wouldn't be bullied by anyone. Even Elena would be wary of her.

Unfortunately, up until then, she still didn't know who her biological mother was.

Cecilia was not disturbed by her antics. She looked at Cassandra with an unwavering gaze and said, “Then you'd better pray that Queenie can protect you for the rest of your life.”

Upon hearing her words, Cassandra inexplicably felt a sense of worry in her heart, yet she didn't let up with her sharp tongue.

As Paula listened to Cecilia's indifferent tone, she felt an exceptional sadness. However, Paula understood that she was only reaping what she had sown.

“I've found the orphanage where you were adopted from. If you wish to search for your biological parents, you could go there—”

Before Paula could finish her sentence, Cecilia interrupted her, saying, “What kind of benevolence are you pretending to display now, and what gives you the right to do so?”

Cecilia clutched her phone tightly.

“Let me tell you something. Ever since I met a mother like you, I've given up any hope for a maternal figure. I'm begging you, please stop interfering with my life.”

With that, Cecilia hung up the phone.

After the call ended, a wave of emotions still stirred within Cecilia's heart.

In truth, after learning that she wasn't Paula's biological child, she also began to wonder about her real parents. Who could my parents be, and what kind of people they might be?

Yet, Paula stated that she had been left behind in an orphanage, implying that her biological parents didn't really care for her either.
