When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 644

Chapter 644 Being Exposed
A surprised Moana was then pulled aside for a private conversation. Whatever was said during that exchange remained unknown, but she quickly agreed to take care of Cassandra.

Cecilia enjoyed a good night's sleep without Moana's presence. The next day upon waking up, she spent her time composing music and relaxing with a book.

There wasn't much going on at the moment except for the lawsuit against Paula and Magnus, as well as the upcoming election for the president of the parents' association next Monday.

It was in the afternoon when a phone call disrupted her leisure.

The call had come from jail, stating that Paula wanted to see her.

“Understood.”

After hanging up, Cecilia headed toward the detention center.

She arrived an hour later.

She had initially assumed that Paula was leading a miserable life. Surprisingly, there was no change in the latter's attire or appearance. Even her hair had been styled in a new way.

“What did you want from me?” Cecilia's voice was indifferent.

Paula glanced at the scar on her face, feeling no sympathy. “How much money will it take for you to drop the charges?” she asked candidly.

“All of Dad's inheritance, of course.”

“What kind of joke is this? I must receive half of your father's inheritance! I was his wife, after all! You, at most, can only share the remaining half with Magnus,” Paula demanded.

Cecilia found the term “wife” particularly grating when it came from such a woman.

“His wife? Have you forgotten, Mdm. Paula? The Smith family fortune was my father's pre-marital asset. You can't possibly claim half of it. You're only entitled to the earnings accumulated during the years you were married to my father.”

Paula choked.
