When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1054 Fearing Retaliation

The people present were whispering to each other, unsure why Cecilia was doing that.

“We were in the wrong earlier, Ceci. Please don’t take our words to heart too much, someone said.

Those who had previously badmouthed Cecilia feigned compliments, fearing retaliation from her

Cassandra and Ralph stood there, unsure of what Cecilia was planning to do or say

Ignoring the speaker, Cecilia pulled out a document, stating openly and straightforwardly. “This is a DNA test. I’m not actually Mdm. Paula’s biological daughter,

Everyone was stunned, including Cassandra and Magnits.

Magnus could hardly believe that the sister he’d grown up with since childhood was not, in fact, a daughter of the Smith family.

“Cecilia, you’re joking, right?” Magnus put on a fake smile.

Cecilia looked at Magnus. “I’m not joking. To avoid anyone doubting me, I’ve had the DNA tests done at several major hospitals. I am indeed not the Smith family’s or Paula’s daughter.”

Cecilia’s words had started a commotion in the scene as people couldn’t believe what she said.

Cecilia continued, “I truly don’t wish to continue bearing the supposed debt that I owe to Mdm. Paula for bringing me into this world. Hence, please don’t use the fact that she gave birth to me to guilt trip me in the future. Paula hardly ever cared about me growing up. She didn’t even raise me. Since I was a child, she used the fact that she gave birth to me as leverage, consistently demanding that I do this or that. I don’t owe her anything. The only person I owe anything to is my late foster father. He was kept in the dark about everything, always believing I was his biological daughter.”

Everyone fell silent, unsure of what to say next.

The people who previously insisted that Cecilia must mourn for Paula suddenly had no reason to continue doing so.

Cassandra stood amongst the crowd, gently tugging at her father’s hand. “Dad, did you know about this?”

Ralph shook his head. “Paula didn’t tell me, but it all makes sense with what happened in the past.”

“What happened?”

“Back then, when Paula was carrying the child of the Smith family, I did contemplate getting back together with her. However, I didn’t want the child she was carrying, and she was willing to terminate the pregnancy. Later on, I met Queenie, but I didn’t end up with her either. Looking back now, there indeed was something amiss with her pregnancy at that time. Ralph responded.

After hearing everything, Cassandra realized that her father was a sc*mbag.

However, she didn’t feel there was anything wrong with it. In her view, it was natural for people to strive upward.

“She was an orphan, after all. She’s quite pitiful, yet she dares to compete with me.” Cassandra felt some Cassandra wasn’t the least bit intimidated by those bodyguards. She turned to Cecilia and said, “Ceci, even if you and Paula aren’t related by blood, causing a scene at her funeral like this is not appropriate. The deceased should be respected. If I were in your shoes, I’d repay hostility with kindness!”

Originally, Cecilia hadn’t planned on discussing others matters that day, yet upon hearing Cassandra’s words, she smiled and said, “Repaying hostility with kindness?”

Fortunately, a journalist was present. Cecilia turned her gaze toward Vivian.

Vivian immediately understood. “There’s a big screen here.”

She unveiled the big screen, revealing yet another DNA test to the public.

That test confirmed Cassandra and Paula were biological mother and daughter!

Cassandra scowled. “Cecilia, you’re being too reckless.”

Cecilia once again took out her phone and played the recording.

“It’s quite amusing. Aren’t you Paula’s biological daughter? She’s the one divorcing your father. Why don’t you ask her? What does it have to do with me?” It was initially the voice of Cecilia.

Immediately after, Cassandra’s voice echoed from the phone. “I’ve severed my bond with her. I’m not her daughter anymore. My mom is Queenie.”

That conversation made it crystal clear to everyone who exactly was Paula’s biological daughter.
