Chapter 1688 Help Manage The Company
Queenie’s request left both Cecilia and Caliste stunned.
Finished
When Cecilia found her voice, she declined immediately, “I’m sorry, but I can’t handle a company of that scale.”
“It’s all right. Consider it a learning opportunity,” Queenie countered.
Cecilia shook her head, “If it’s that important, shouldn’t you ask Cassandra instead?”
Queenie sighed, realizing Cecilia wouldn’t agree easily. She resorted to a tactic her sister once suggested.
“My health is deteriorating, Ceci. I don’t know how much time I have left. Can’t you grant me this one wish? Cassandra isn’t fit to run the company. If it’s left to her, Jamieson Group will crumble. And you,” she paused for emphasis, “are my biological daughter. The company belongs in your hands.”
Cecilia was silent, her thoughts racing. She finally spoke, her voice uncertain. “I don’t think I can handle this responsibility. If Cassandra isn’t suited, why not hire a professional to manage it?”
Queenie pressed further, “You don’t need to take full control. Just oversee things for me while I recover. I can’t trust anyone else, Ceci. You’re my only daughter.”
After a long pause, Cecilia hesitantly replied, “Let me think about it.”
“All right,” Queenie said, relief evident in her voice. “Call me when you’ve made up your mind.”
Once the call ended, Queenie began coughing violently.
Caliste rushed to her side, handing her a tissue. “Do you really think Ms. Cecilia can manage the company?”
Queenie nodded confidently. “I believe Ceci will do well.”
In terms of selecting her employee, she rarely misjudged people.
“And Ms. Evans?” Caliste asked cautiously, referring to Cassandra.
Queenie’s expression hardened. “Do you think I’ve treated Cassandra unfairly?”
“Of course not,” Caliste replied quickly. Queenie had raised Cassandra as her own and shown her nothing but kindness.
“I don’t want to keep indulging her anymore. For once, I just want to do something kind for my own daughter. For once, I want to be selfish!” Queenie declared with conviction.
After a brief pause, she added, “Call all the senior executives to the hospital.”
Her decision was final–she would formally introduce Cecilia as her future successor to the executives and shareholders of Jamieson Group.
At Ceci Corporation, Cecilia sat in her office, her thoughts tangled with uncertainty. Queenie’s proposal weighed heavily on her mind, and she couldn’t decide what to do.
Calvin, noticing her distracted state, walked in. “What’s on your mind?”

The readers' comments on the novel: When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel)
I love this story, but don’t you think finishing the chapter in the middle is too annoying? I know you have lots of characters to develop and I all of them have a lot of importance, however when you return them, it seems 100 years to remember. How about Vivian pregnancy. Did she tell to her husband and George? Did Nathaniel forget that Adrian and Miranda tried to hurt Cecilia. It looks like he doesn’t care??? I would have prosecuted them (or kill them, lol). The kids have been completely forgotten by their parents. Don’t you think Nathaniel must be warned about Cassandra doings? Don’t you think she is going to hurt Ceci again? Why isn’t Sven keeping close eyes in Cecilia? Isn’t Nathaniel too much blind about this? And more important of everything: isn’t this book a romance? How about the development of the couple romance? I miss the looks, the sudden increase of heart beats, a kiss reciprocated without interference. Oh my ! Please don’t finish this history with a wedding party and all of them were happy forever! They should fall in love again and it takes time and care. Thank you for your attention and patience. Sorry if I bother you, I just want some passion to keep this story interesting. I started another book some weeks ago because I couldn’t read only 2 or 3 chapters a day( let alone one), but I still have faith in this love story. Hope you are healthy and inspired to make it great. Good luck!!!...
Wish they would update more pages than 1, 2, or 3....
