When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 428

Chapter 428 Who Is Your Real Daughter
Cassandra's eyes were filled with arrogance as she added, “After all, my stepmother is your biological mother.”

Upon hearing this, Cecilia responded immediately, “If you aspire to be Nicholas' wife, it's only natural that you should address me as your sister-in-law.”

In an instant, Cassandra was rendered speechless.

For reasons she couldn't quite pinpoint, ever since she saw Nicholas sending Cecilia off the previous night, her womanly instincts had developed a strong dislike for Cecilia.

“Since I haven't married into the Rainsworth family yet, I think I'll treat you like my younger sister for now.”

After finishing her sentence, Cassandra stepped forward. “So, dear sister, I hate to impose, but I need you to accompany me today to buy the necessary items for the engagement.”

If it wasn't for Nicholas, Cecilia would not have bothered with her at all.

“All right, give me ten minutes.”

With that, Cecilia left Cassandra alone in the living room, heading off to freshen up and get ready.

Cassandra casually looked around, taking in her surroundings. As expected of the Rainsworth family, the most prominent family in Tudela, their prestige was reflected in the understated elegance of Nathaniel's residence. Despite its subtle appearance, it radiated luxury from every corner.

Comparatively, the place where Nicholas lived was much more modest.

Cassandra felt a pang of resentment. Why should Nathaniel, who was blind, still have the privilege of living in such a luxurious place?

After getting ready, Cecilia informed Nathaniel of her plan before leaving with Cassandra.

When they arrived at the entrance of the old mansion, they saw an extended Lincoln parked there.

The car door swung open. As Cecilia was about to get in, she noticed a familiar figure already seated inside. Cassandra broke the silence first. “Mom, you're here.”

After speaking, she turned back to look at Cecilia. “Hey sis, why aren't you greeting Mom?”

Despite addressing Cecilia as “sister,” Cassandra's eyes were filled with mockery.

Paula said in a cold tone, “Who is she to be considered your sister, Cassandra? Hurry and get in the car; it's chilly outside.”
