When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 484

Chapter 484 Stay Away From Nicholas
Meanwhile, on the rooftop of the Four Seasons Hotel, a sophisticated and elegant woman stood, gazing out over the city of Tudela.

She held a lit cigarette between her fingers, the smoke curling lazily into the air.

Her eyes were so deep and enigmatic that it was impossible to read her thoughts.

Thud, thud, thud!

The sound of knocking echoed.

The woman extinguished the cigarette in her hand: “Come in.”

With great caution, Cassandra gently opened the door and stepped inside. “Mom.”

Queenie turned around, her sharp gaze softening. “Come here.”

Cassandra stepped forward.

Queenie gently tidied her blouse and asked, “How have you been lately?”

She had been busy lately, spending most of her time abroad managing various projects. But the moment she heard that Paula had been involved in a murder, she rushed back to check on Cassandra.

Cassandra stood before her, adopting the demeanor of a dazed, innocent child. “Mom, I'm not doing well. Not well at all.”

Queenie's eyes narrowed with a sudden intensity. “Has someone made your life miserable? Who? Nicholas?”

She clenched her hand tightly. Did the Rainsworths really think that just because they're in power, they can bully the Jamieson family however they want?

Cassandra quickly shook her head. “It's not him. Nicholas treats me well.”

“Who else?”

“It's someone I mentioned before—Cecilia Smith. She's Nathaniel's wife, my future sister-in-law,” Cassandra replied.

“Cecilia?” Queenie scoffed upon hearing Cecilia's name. She's just a deaf woman. How dare she bully my daughter?

Though Cassandra was adopted, Queenie had raised her as her own since childhood. She had always been willful and stubborn, and no one had ever dared to bully her.

“Mom, you wouldn't believe it,” Cassandra lamented. “She's so manipulative. She was secretly trying to seduce Nicholas. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'd never have believed it.”
