Chapter 665 The Wicked Mother
Paula was taken aback. Sensing the insinuation in Cecilia's words, she couldn't help but ask, “What do you mean?”
“Did you have anything to do with my father's car accident?” Cecilia asked.
Panic was evident in Paula's eyes.. “What are you babbling about?”
Her reaction came as a deep blow to Cecilia.
She didn't press further, falling silent.
Paula became self-conscious out of guilt. “In the will that Regas left you, did he mention anything else?”
Upon hearing those words, Cecilia looked into Paula's eyes, finding nothing but unfamiliarity. The woman before him was her own mother and the wife who had gone through thick and thin with her father.
“What do you think?” Instead of answering, Cecilia threw the question back to her.
Paula's expression subtly shifted as she abruptly grabbed Cecilia's wrist. “Show me the will!” she demanded.
Cecilia abruptly pulled away from her grasp. “Don't worry. I'll make it public in court.”
The will simply stated that if Magnus proved to be incompetent, Cecilia had the right to take over all of the Smith family's assets. It didn't speak ill of Paula in any way.
However, she intended to sow seeds of doubt in Paula's mind, to instill fear in the latter.
Paula's stomach began to ache again, her face breaking out in a cold sweat.
“You ingrate. I knew I shouldn't have raised you!”
Upon observing Paula's current state, Cecilia was certain that the former was indeed gravely ill.
Perhaps this is divine retribution.
As she turned to leave, Paula called out to her again, “Do you know why I favor Cassandra over you?”
Cecilia paused in her tracks.

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...
