Chapter 684 The Result Of The Court Proceedings
All the money was given to the Evans family! How am I supposed to return it to Cecilia? Besides, there’s no way I’d give her the money.
Pa called out to Cecilia, who was walking away, her tone softened in an attempt to sound conciliatory. “Ceci, I’ve already given the money to the Evans family. There’s no way I can get it back.”
Cecilia stopped and turned to face Pa, her expression unreadable. “Is that so? Then I’ll proceed with applying for enforcement.”
She was sure Pa and Magnus had some personal savings.
Pa approached Cecilia, her earlier aggression now reced by a desperate tone. “Are you trying to drive me to my grave? I don’t have many years left!”
Cecilia looked at her calmly. “You brought this upon yourself.”
Pa’s voice trembled with a mix of desperation and threat. “I’m your mother! If I end up with nothing, you won’t have it easy either,” she warned.
With a dismissive smile, Cecilia asked, “Do you think I’m doing well now?”
Pa was momentarily taken aback.
Cecilia’s eyes shed with resolve as she red at Pa. “I’m not intimidated by your threats. I’m determined to reim what rightfully belonged to Dad. You squandered all his money on another man. How can you even look at yourself in the mirror? My father loved you deeply–do you even deserve him? What’s happening to you now is nothing but karma.”
After finishing her words, Cecilia turned and left.
It took a while for Pa to regain herposure. She yelled at Cecilia’s retreating figure, “You monster! You’ll pay!”
She only stopped glowering at Cecilia upon noticing the passersby looking their way.
Cecilia remained silent after returning to the car.
Nathaniel had also heard Pa cursing Cecilia.
Mason, irritated, almost wanted to say. What mother curses her own daughter? If her daughter’s a monster, then what does that make hert
“Get out of the car, Nathaniel instructed the driver and Mason.
Though unsure why, the driver and Mason did as they were told.
When they were alone in the car, Nathaniel finally said to Cecilia, “If you want to cry, just cry.”
All Cecilia did was embrace him.
Taken aback, Nathaniel stiffened.
Cecilia didn’t shed a tear. Instead, she muttered, “Don’t worry. I’m okay. I won thewsuit. I can finally reim my father’s money. I’m thrilled. Let’s go celebrate.”
Nathaniel rested his hand on her shoulder, patting it and saying in a warm voice, “Okay.”
She suggested celebrating the asion, but she hardly ate anything when they went to her favorite restaurant.
Nathaniel knew she was hurt by Pa’s words and stayed by her side, offering herfort.
Upon returning to the Evans residence, Pa immediately informed Ralph and Cassandra about the unfavorable oue of thewsuit.
Ralph’s eyes were filled with disbelief. “Didn’t you say it was impossible for us to lose? How much do we have to pay?”
“The transferred funds amount to thirty billion.”
“Thirty billion? That’s outrageous–she might as well have robbed a bank!” Ralph roared, his face turning red with fury. He was already strapped for cash, and the news sent him into a panicked. frenzy.
Cassandra, too, never expected such an oue. “Mom, can’t you try to talk some sense into her? She’s a woman. What does she need all that money for?”
Pa let out a sigh. “I tried, but she’s determined to go against me. She insists on reiming all the wealth her father left behind.”
“I can’te up with the money,” Ralph said coldly.All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.
“Cecilia threatened to proceed with enforcement if we don’t pay up.” Pa added.
Ralph thought about Pa’s personal savings and said, “Honey, don’t you still have some savings?
“I’m down to myst billion or two. How could that possibly be enough?” Pa said.
In reality, her personal savings were way more than a hundred million, but she didn’t want to use
