When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 474

Chapter 474 One Last Thing
The living room fell into a moment of silence.

Paula never imagined that a former nanny from her household would dare to speak to her in such a manner. She raised her hand, ready to strike Martha.

The caregiver stepped forward, attempting to dissuade her, “Madam, this elderly lady is in poor health, so you shouldn't hit her as you please. If you refuse to comply, I will have no choice but to call the police.”

Paula's hand froze mid-air before a cold laugh involuntarily escaped her.

“This elderly lady? She's nothing but a destitute woman who no one wanted! She was just lucky enough to care for my daughter. Now that my daughter and son-in-law are doing well and financially supporting her, she thinks she's some kind of wealthy elite!”

The caregiver was somewhat taken aback. She had always assumed that Martha was indeed Cecilia's mother. She never expected that it would be this woman standing before her.

Upon closer examination, they did bear some resemblance. However, how could their temperaments and characters be so vastly different? Why were this woman's words so sharp and harsh?

Considering Paula was her employer's biological mother, the caregiver didn't feel it was her place to say much. All she could do was provide basic care from the sidelines.

Faced with Paula's mockery, Martha retorted, “Though I may be poor, I have my dignity. I don't rely on a man to survive, nor do I leech off my own children, unlike some people.”

Now, Paula understood where Cecilia got her temper from - it was all from this woman standing before her.

Once again, she raised her hand. Before the caregiver could react, she pushed Martha to the ground with a swift motion.

Cough, cough, cough!

Martha, who was already in poor health, began to cough violently after being pushed over.

The caregiver rushed over to support her, asking anxiously, “Madam, are you all right?”

Martha couldn't stop coughing, making it impossible for her to respond.

Paula looked down on this scene from her elevated position, not at all bothered by what she had done. Seeing that Martha was on the verge of death, Paula dialed Cecilia's number and merely stated, “If you dare to seduce Nicholas again or sue me, you might as well prepare to collect your nanny's body.”

She always made good on her words.

With that, Paula switched off her phone and left.

The moment Cecilia received a call from Paula, she rushed home. On her way, she phoned the caregiver to inquire about the situation.

“How's Martha doing?”

“Ms. Smith, she was pushed over earlier and had been coughing persistently. Thankfully, she's much better now.”
