Chapter 472 Yearning For Familial Bonds.


    Cassandra, her half–sister from the same mother but a different father.


    When Cecilia learned the answer, there was a moment of stunned silence.


    Sven continued, “When I went to handle things yesterday, I learned from those people that their intention was to take you away and humiliate you.”


    The stiff manner Sven said thosest two words left no doubt about what he truly meant.Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    After hearing that, Cecilia clenched her hands.


    “I got it.”


    After ending the call, Cecilia couldn’tprehend why Cassandra harbored such intense resentment toward her.


    The only thing she had done to upset Cassandra was her involvement with Nichs. However, she and Nichs currently had no connection whatsoever.


    Following that, Cecilia asked Charlotte to send her Cassandra’s phone number, as they had coborated before.


    Charlotte quickly sent over the number, then asked: Boss, are you nning to continue working with her? She reached out to me a few days ago and said she wanted to purchase more of yourpositions. I haven’t had the chance to ask you yet.


    Cecilia typed back: No, I have personal matters to attend to.


    “Charlotte: Oh…


    After a moment, she seemed to suddenly remember something and sent another message: By the way, Boss, I noticed that someone has recently been secretly investigating the vacant studio we registered.”


    The studio was the front given to the public after Cecilia’s return.


    Seeing that, Cecilia instantly knew that someone from Tud was definitely conducting an investigation.


    Cecilia replied: Don’t worry about them, just focus on your work.


    Charlotte: Okay.


    Charlotte vowed to herself that if those people dared to cause trouble, she would surely give them a taste of their own medicine.


    Despite Charlotte’s adorable and gentle appearance, she was actually the international women’s kickhoving champion. Most men really weren’t her matchi


    Cecilia no longer cared if those people were investigating the shellpany. She originally registered that studio to keep her work hidden from Nathaniel, but now that he had lost his memory, there was nothing to fear.


    After finishing her conversation with Charlotte, Cecilia dialed Cassandra’s number, intending to have a serious discussion with her.


    Cassandra had just finished a performance. As she was removing her makeup backstage, she heard her phone ring and casually picked it up.


    “It’s me, Cecilia.”


    Cassandra’s breath hitched.


    Her attempt to cause trouble for Cecilia by hiring someone wasn’t exactly a masterstroke. A simple investigation was all it took to uncover it.


    “What do you want?”


    Cassandra’s tone was somewhat guilty.


    “Let’s find a time to meet and talk.”


    After that, Cecilia sent Cassandra a message with a suggested meeting time and ce.


    Upon seeing the message, a faint twitch tugged at the corner of Cassandra’s mouth in annoyance. “Who does this b*tch think she is?” she muttered..


    Cecilia wasn’t worried about Cassandra not showing up, because the next message she sent was evidence that Sven had uncovered proof that Cassandra had ordered those men to harm her.


    Even if that wasn’t enough to send Cassandra to jail, it could still tarnish her reputation.


    Cecilia was not one to stir up trouble voluntarily, but she


    trouble voluntarily, but she wasn’t afraid of it either.


    The only reason she was willing to talk to Cassandra asn’t afraid of it either was primarily because thetter was her half–sister from the same mother. She assumed Cassandra was unaware of this, hence her desire to have a conversation.


    Cecilia informed Martha that she had ns for the day and wouldn’t return untilte.


    Elliot hurriedly proposed, “Mommy, why don’t I go with you?”


    Cecilia shook her head and said, “You should stay home and chat with Grandma Martha. You still have a hospital check–up this afternoon.”


    “All right then.”


    After she left, Martha stared at her retreating figure, murmuring, “Ceci is just so desperate for familial bonds.”


    It was human nature to yearn for what onecked the most.


    From a young age, Cecilia had never experienced much affection. Aside from Regas, she had never felt the love of any other family members.


    Thus, when she found out that Cassandra was her biological sister, her emotions became exceptionallyplicated.


    In a small eatery off a highway in Tud.


    By the time Cecilia arrived, Cassandra was already waiting there. Much like Pa, she cared deeply for her reputation.
