When Her DeathCouldn’t Break Him 

Chapter 1167 Have We Met Before 

Finished 

As Cecilia brought fruits to the two children, she overheard Dylan speaking. There was something oddly familiar about Cassina and Dylan that she couldn’t quite place, but now, hearing his words, a memory sparked

Suddenly, it all clicked. Cecilia remembered saving Bailey and her family

Could it be that Dylan and Cassina are related to Mdm. Bailey

She stepped closer. Dylan, is your granny’s last name Moore?Cecilia asked

Dylan nodded. Yes, everyone calls her Bailey Moore.” 

That confirmed it for Cecilia. She quickly recalled the details about Bailey, who had initially taken care of Paula, a ne name was unmistakable

Cecilia smacked her forehead in disbelief. How could my memory be this bad? It’s like I’ve got face blindness 

She couldn’t believe she hadn’t recognized Cassina all this time. Maybe it had been too dark the night she rescued them, and she hadn’t focused on their faces 

But still, Cassina should’ve recognized me, right? I saved her after all, and surely Mdm. Bailey would’ve mentioned my name to her daughter 

Cecilia’s mind swirled in confusion. Why hadn’t Cassina acknowledged her? It didn’t make sense. To make things worse, after helping Cassina and her family, Cecilia had lost contact with Bailey altogether. That last phone call from Bailey suddenly came rushing back to her memory

Could something have happened

She quickly dialed Sven. Sven, can you look into Mdm. Bailey, the woman who used to take care of Paula? Start from the beginning of this month. Something feels off” 

At that time, she didn’t quite catch what Bailey had said over the phone. When she went to the older woman’s residence, Cecilia found out that she had moved out and didn’t delve much further into the matter

UnderstoodSven didn’t ask questions

With the investigation set in motion, Cecilia decided she needed to probe Cassina subtly when she came to pick up Dylan

That evening, Cassina arrived for dinner. Cecilia invited her to sit down and rest for a bit, offering her a cup of coffee

Ms. Cassina, I can’t shake the feeling that we’ve met before. Are you sure our first meeting was at the company? You seem really familiar to me. Maybe we’ve crossed paths somewhere else?Cecilia asked, watching Cassina’s reaction closely

Cassina’s hands trembled slightly as she held her cup. She wasn’t used to lying, and Cecilia’s questions were hitting too close to home

II don’t think so.Cassina stammered. People say I have a common face. Maybe I just remind you of someone.” 

Cecilia didn’t believe her for a second. She knew Cassina was hiding something. To avoid any mistakes, Cecilia had already asked Sven to dig into Bailey’s background. The investigation had confirmed everything, including Cassina’s identity. There was no way this was just a case of mistaken identity

All right, I thought you might be related to a caretaker I used to know,” Cecilia said casually

Clang

The cup in Cassina’s hand slipped and crashed to the floor, water spilling everywhere

I’m so sorry!Cassina exclaimed, quickly getting up to clean the mess

Before she could move, the housekeepers rushed over. Ms. Cassina, please take a seat, we’ll handle it.” 

Cassina seemed panicked, avoiding sitting down again. She clearly didn’t want to engage in more conversation with Cecilia
