Chapter 823 Sever Their Relationship 

“What? So what did you do?” Ralph asked. 

“Of course, I agreed to her request. But the problem now is that Paula refuses to sign.” 

Cassandra had prepared a document to sever their mother–daughter relationship. 

Ralph’s expression turned cold upon hearing this. “Paula is just an obstacle between us. She won’t give up until she hits rock bottom. I’ll help you get her to sign, and at the same time, I’ll get her to sign the divorce papers too.” 

“Okay.” 

There was a saying, “Even a vicious tiger will not eat its cubs.” However, the saying “a vicious cub will not spare its mother” didn’t exist. 

That morning, while Cecilia was at work, she received a call from the caregiver. “Ms. Smith, you need to come quickly. Something’s happened again.” 

When Cecilia arrived, the door to Paula’s hospital ward was locked. 

Inside the ward, Ralph and Cassandra were pressuring Paula to sign the 

papers. 

Standing outside, the caregiver explained to Cecilia, “They’ve been here since early this morning, holding her hand and forcing her to sign. They’re just heartless. I heard they’re also making her sign the divorce agreement.” 

The caretaker looked at Cecilia, hoping she could find a way to help Paula. 

Cecilia knew exactly why Ralph was in such a hurry to divorce Paula–he wanted to cut ties and avoid paying back any debts. 

Severing the mother–daughter relationship was something she could ignore, but if they divorced, who would she go to for the money? 

All the money the Evans family had originally belonged to the Smith family.

Cecilia picked up her phone, ready to call Sven. 

Just then, a doctor in a white coat approached and recognized her. “Ms. Smith?” 

Cecilia looked at him, puzzled. 

“I’m the hospital director. Why are you all standing out here?” 

Cecilia briefly explained the situation, and the director frowned. 

He knew very well that the woman standing before him was the benefactor of his young master. Without hesitation, he called security, and they immediately kicked down the door. 

Inside, Ralph and Cassandra were holding Paula’s hand trying to force her to leave a fingerprint on the papers.

The director demanded, “What are you doing? I’ve called the police.”

Ralph immediately let go of Paula’s hand, while Cassandra’s face turned pale. “This is a family matter. It’s none of your business.” 

“Then let the police handle it!” the director replied, reaching for his phone. 

Being a public figure, Cassandra was naturally terrified that this incident would make the news. 

“Director, we’re just here to check on my stepmother, that’s all. Fine, we won’t close the door anymore.” 

Only then did the director relent and turn to Cecilia. “Ms. Smith, if anything like this happens again, call me right away.” 

“Thank you.” 

After the director left, Cecilia and the caregiver entered the room. Paula had been tormented by Ralph and Cassandra to the point that she no longer looked like herself–her hair was disheveled, and her face was covered in scratches. 

She murmured, “I regret it… I regret it… Regas…” 

Hearing her cry out Jonathan’s name, Cecilia was reminded of her father’s kind face, and her eyes reddened slightly. 

Once the director left, Ralph glared at Paula and said viciously, “The doctor said you have less than three months to live. What’s the harm in severing ties with Cassandra? What’s so hard about divorcing me and letting me move on?” 

Paula’s sobs grew louder. 

Ever since she had fallen ill, she had suffered unimaginable hardships. 

She never used to believe in karma, but now she did. 

“Mom, you love me the most, right? Just sign it. As long as you agree to sever our relationship, I promise I’ll give you a grand funeral.”

Even the caregiver, who was listening from the side, thought the father and daughter were heartless. 

Cecilia’s face was cold, showing no sympathy for Paula. 

Perhaps Paula saw Cecilia’s expression. She had been dead set against severing the relationship, but at that moment, something inside her changed. 

“Fine, fine, I’ll sign!”
