When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1034 Left Her Inheritance To Cecilia

Before Nicholas could respond, Magnus sneered, “As Mom’s daughter, you didn’t show up. It’s only natural for Nicholas, as Mom’s future son–in–law, to come. Not everyone is as heartless as you.”

A cold glint flickered in Cassandra’s eyes as Magnus chastised her in front of everyone. “Magnus, you’ve grown bold, haven’t you? Since when is it your place to lecture me? Do you really think Nicholas would’ve helped you if it wasn’t for me?”

Magnus was silenced by those words.

Cassandra glanced around, but she didn’t see Paula’s body anywhere.

The caregiver gently reminded, “Mdm. Paula has already been taken to the morgue. If you wish to see her, I can take you there.”

“Who wants to see a corpse? Didn’t you know I was pregnant? Do you want to harm my baby?” Cassandra’s face was filled with disgust.

The caregiver was momentarily at a loss for words.

At that moment, Cassandra noticed the cardboard box on the ground, containing the crudely made scarf and gloves. She disdainfully gave it a kick. “What kind of trash is this? Why is it lying around here?”

After grumbling, she added, “I overheard you guys discussing the division of Mom’s inheritance earlier.”

She acknowledged Paula as her mother when speaking of the inheritance.

Magnus, worried that she would try to seize the inheritance, quickly said, “Mom has already written her will. All of her assets will go to my sister, Cecilia. She didn’t leave a penny for you. You should leave now.”

“My dad split over two billion with her. How could Mom possibly leave everything to her?” Cassandra couldn’t believe it.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

In the past, no matter what mistakes she made, Paula always forgave her, often reminding her that blood ties were the only thing that truly mattered, and everyone else was insignificant.

This was precisely why she had always been so fearless and confident.

“Ms. Evans, it’s true. Mdm. Paula officially notarized her will here with me,” the lawyer confirmed.

Nicholas added, “Cassandra, didn’t you already cut ties with Paula? It’s only natural she wouldn’t leave you anything.”

Cassandra refused to believe them.

She wanted to see Paula and ask her, but she was already dead.

“You’re kidding, right? I don’t believe it!”

Uninterested in entertaining Cassandra, Cecilia left the hospital first.

Nicholas was losing his patience. “You’re pregnant now; you can’t stay here for long. I’ll have someone take you home.”

his eyes stopped her mid–sentence. Intimidated by hist

“Nicholas…” Cassandra began, but the coldness, piercing stare, she fell silent and slunk away in shame..

When she stepped outside and saw Cecilia, who was just about to get into the car, she quickened her pace and stopped Cecilia. “Cecilia, what on earth did you do to make Paula leave all his money to you?”

Cecilia paused in her tracks, her hand resting on the car door, before turning to glance back at Cassandra, her eyes brimming with irritation.

“Do you want to know?”

“Tell me!”

“Why don’t you go and meet Paula in hell and ask her yourself?”

Cecilia’s remark enraged Cassandra so much she nearly fainted. Just as she opened her mouth to snap. back, Cecilia jumped into the car. The engine roared to life, sending a cloud of exhaust Into Cassandra’s face.

She stood frozen, her frustration boiling over, leaving her with nothing to do but stomp her foot in fury.

Seated in the car, Cecilia leaned against the backrest, glancing at Cassandra’s reflection in the rearview mirror. Exhausted, she shut her eyes, too drained and weary to waste any more energy on people like her.

When she returned, the house felt empty and quiet. Lucille was at work, and Elliot was still at school, leaving her completely alone.

The realization that Paula had passed away struck her hard.

Memories of the past kept surfacing in her mind. She remembered the times when Paula would often play the piano in the living room and pretend to be kind to her in front of Regas.

As she grew older, more and more people drifted out of her life–those she loved and those she didn’t. One by one, they all slowly faded away.
