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.”

The readers' comments on the novel: When Her Death Couldn't Break Him
Thank you 😊 for the work...
Save us the distress from waiting or we are opting for others...
Hi, good morning Could you please send more chapters? To much books reading and I always forgot the story when it comes. All characters have the same name ( Cecilia, Nathaniel, Madaline, Fabian… )and lots of the names are similar in the same story, so I got confused when I don’t have all story already written. If at least you can send 10 chapters a day…. This story is as good as Mission to Remarry I can’t wait for finish it. But let’s have a great finish and a final chapter with one year of deepest love development. Thank you! Please,please, please!!!!...
What's going on? Why so few chapters?...
This chapter is completely useless!...
Why all chapters are not until the end? The new ones are never the continuation of the previous one. Also, Could you please do not use the "swnovel.net" as a water mark on the paragraphs? I use a listening device and those paragraphs are not readable....
More chapters, please 🙏...
What's going on? Is not Cassandra married? What is she doing in her mother's House?...
Waiting for more chapters...
Thank you for the update and anticipate more. Love Elliot in this novel the most <3...
