When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1373

Chapter 1373 Someone Else Takes The Fall
Queenie looked at the harsh words cursing her on the computer screen, unable to hold back her astonishment.

Indeed, not all parents in this world love their children. If i were to find my daughter, I would undoubtedly treat her well, ensuring that she would never experience any hardship.

Meanwhile, Stella and Cassandra returned to their rooms together.

Cassandra stared at her bandaged hand, a cold glint in her eyes. “That brat, how dare he bite me!” she fumed.

“Ms. Evans, please don't be upset,” Stella advised. “I don't think they'll be able to act with impunity for long.”

Cassandra nodded. “If you could eliminate Cecilia and those two troublesome kids, I would certainly reward you handsomely.”

“I would've done it anyway without you telling me. I hate Cecilia even more than you do!” Stella asserted through her gritted teeth. After she finished speaking, she seemed a bit bothered by what had happened in the study earlier. “Anyway, why do I get the feeling that Queenie seems to dislike me?”

“How could that be? From her perspective, you're her own daughter, even closer to her than I am. She's just in a bad mood. Don't overthink it,” Cassandra explained.

Stella felt a twinge of worry in her heart, voicing out, “I hope that's all there is to it.”

The conversation between the two was clearly heard by Queenie.

At this point, nothing surprised her anymore, for her adopted daughter was conspiring with outsiders to deceive her.

“Why is Cassandra doing this?” Queenie seemed to be asking her secretary, but at the same time, was also questioning herself.

The secretary was equally puzzled. “Given Ms. Evans disposition, it would be best if you hadn't found your biological daughter. Why would she bring someone in to impersonate the latter? What if that person ends up usurping her position in the Jamieson family?”

Unbeknownst to herself, Queenie was wearing a bitter smile.

“I know what's going on. She just wants someone easy to control, to prevent me from continuing my search for my biological daughter. With this, and having secured leverage over Stella, there's no way her position in the Jamieson family will ever be threatened.”

After saying all that, Queenie slowly closed her eyes, feeling an overwhelming sense of exhaustion.

In the end, she still chose to protect Cassandra. Nevertheless, she had already made too many enemies and didn't want to offend the Rainsworth family over a child.

“Understood.”

Inside the hospital, Cecilia and Nathaniel had been waiting in the corridor for a long time, but the surgery still hadn't ended.

Her heart was filled with nothing but anxiety.

At that moment, someone escorted in the security guard who had previously held Elliot down.

“Mr. Rainsworth, we heard about the incident involving your young son,” the visitor said. “Our boss instructed us to bring over the person responsible. She hopes that this won't cause any discord between our families and that we can continue to maintain good relations.”

The security personnel who was brought over immediately fell to his knees, apologizing, “I'm sorry, Mr. Rainsworth. It was my reckless behavior that inadvertently caused harm to your son.”
