When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 645

Chapter 645 Investigations From The Past
What did it feel like to be cursed to hell by one's own mother?

It probably felt like having one's heart stabbed by a knife relentlessly before getting it crushed into pieces.

Cecilia maintained a calm demeanor, showing no signs of discomfort despite her chest aching uncontrollably.

She forced a smile. “Mdm. Paula, what you should be thinking about now is how you're going to spend the rest of your life in jail, as well as the livelihoods of you and your daughter after I reclaim my father's inheritance. I know that most of what the Evans family possesses now is thanks to the foundation laid by Smith Corporation in the past.”

Having said all that, Cecilia disregarded Paula's furious gaze and stood up to leave.

She had only taken a few steps when a crash echoed from behind her.

Looking back, she saw that Paula had fallen from her chair. Her eyes were glazed over as she clutched her stomach tightly, and her legs twitched uncontrollably as if she had lost control over them.

Cecilia stared blankly at her, unsure of what was happening.

Is she putting up an act again?

It wasn't long before a doctor arrived and took Paula to the hospital.

When Cecilia stepped out, her emotions were a tangled mess.

Her attorney, Norman Jenkins, was waiting for her outside. “What did Paula want from you?”

“She asked me how much money it would take for me to drop the charges.”

“She was responsible for Martha's death, and then she had the audacity to embezzle all of Mr. Smith's inheritance. Now, she even wants you to drop the charges? How absurd.” Norman had always disliked Paula for being so superficial.

It's a shame Regas loved her to his bones, but at least he eventually got to see her true self and left an extra will for Cecilia in his last moment.

Cecilia nodded and informed him about how Paula and collapsed and convulsed earlier.

“Is she planning to feign illness to escape again?” That was Norman's first assumption.
