When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1115 Her Refusal

Cecilia clenched her fist. “And what if I don’t apologize Queenie turned her head to look at Nicholas.

“Nicholas, is there really a need to keep such an employee?”

Nicholas looked at Cecilia with narrowed eyes and said to her, “Cecilia, I’m sorry.”

He, just like Cecilia, couldn’t afford to upset Queenie.

After all, Orion Corporation was in dire need of the Jamieson family.

Moreover, Queenie had her ways, and Nicholas was well aware of his own limitations. He knew he couldn’t fully protect Cecilia from Queenie’s harm.

Cecilia understood the situation as well. With a grit of her teeth, she made her way toward Cassandra and Cassina./

“I’m sorry.”

Cassandra watched with satisfaction as Cecilia reluctantly apologized to her.

However, she didn’t want to let her off so easily.

“I heard about how you were bossing my sister around yesterday. Do you really think a simple apology is enough?”

“So, what do you want me to do?”

Cassandra pointed at the ground.

“Only when you apologize on your knees would it be sincere enough.”

Upon hearing these words, Cassina, standing to the side, was somewhat taken aback. She tugged gently at Cassandra’s sleeve. “Let it go, sis.”

“Cassina, you’re just too kind–hearted,” Cassandra said. “If Mom wasn’t here to stand up for us, wouldn’t you be bullied to no end?” After saying this, she turned to Cecilia. “Kneel down now, and we’ll forget about yesterday’s incident.”

It was only then that Cecilia came to understand why Queenie was so angry.

She found it a bit odd, wondering when she had ever ordered Cassina around.

Cecilia was not about to take the blame for this inexplicable accusation. Instead of kneeling, she questioned Cassina, “Ms. Cassina, could you please explain how I supposedly mistreated you yesterday and how I allegedly ordered you around?”

When Cassina was asked, she was momentarily at a loss for words.

plan on bullying my sister in front of everyone again?”

At that moment, Cecilia was on the verge of laughing.

“Cassandra, I just wanted to clarify things. Yesterday, we were merely discussing work as usual. I was in no way ordering Cassina around, let alone bullying her.”

She quickly added, “Besides, what would I gain from bullying her?”

“Who knows what you’re up to? Apologize right now!” Cassandra didn’t want Cecilia to say more, fearing that it might cause some problems.

In spite of that, Cecilia maintained her gaze at Cassina, questioning her, “Ms. Cassina, if you want me to apologize, at least you should let me know what for, shouldn’t you?”

Upon seeing the situation, Cassina found herself somewhat at a loss.

Cassandra took her hand. “Don’t be afraid. Just say what’s on your mind.”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Only then did Cassina speak up. “Ms. Smith, your staff handed me tasks yesterday that weren’t originally mine. Isn’t that taking advantage of me?”

“Can you tell me what those tasks were?”

Cassina pursed her lips. “Ms. Miranda has already taken care of those tasks for me. What’s the point of bringing it up now? If you don’t want to apologize, then I’ll forget it!”

Queenie stepped forward.

“We can’t just forget it. Either you apologize now, Cecilia, or leave Orion Corporation,” Queenie asserted,

“Exactly, if you kneel down and apologize, we can let bygones be bygones. No need to create an awkward situation for everyone,” Cassandra chimed in.

Cecilia tightened her fists.

At that moment, the door was pushed open from the outside.

“Mdm. Queenie, could there be some sort of misunderstanding here?” The one who spoke was Elena.

When Cassandra saw Elena, she was completely taken aback. Clearly, she had not anticipated that her future mother–in–law would speak up for a former daughter–in–law.
