Chapter 690 Magnus Had Mended His Ways


    Upon receiving the money, Ralph immediately used it to fund hispany’s operations.


    He wasn’t quite sure what had been happeningtely. Although hispany hadn’t been making high profits before, it hadn’t been suffering any losses either.


    Recently, regardless of what thepany produced or managed, they faced constant sabotage. Most of their business partners had been poached by a group called Imminence Corporation. As a result, Ralph was gradually finding himself in financial difficulties.


    Meanwhile, Pa remained unaware that Cassandra had taken her money. It didn’t take long for them to use up all of her funds.


    Early the next morning, news had skyrocketed to the top of the trending list: Internationally Renowned Dancer Takes Her Ailing Stepmother to the Opera House.


    Upon clicking the headline, the article detailed how tirelessly Cassandra worked, her dutiful nature shining through as she took her stepmother to the opera house.


    When her stepmother fell ill, Cassandra, unafraid of the mess, personally assisted her and escorted her to the hospital.


    Upon waking up, Cecilia saw the news and couldn’t help but feel a sense of irony.


    She had observed the night before that Cassandra hadn’t even bothered to apany Pa to the hospital, let alone offer her support.


    Cecilia didn’t spend much time looking before closing the page.


    Now that Cecilia had won thewsuit, Pa was obligated to return the money within two weeks. Failure to do so would result inpulsory enforcement.


    Worried that Pa and the Evans family might be transferring assets during this period, Cecilia instructed Sven to secretly monitor them.


    It wasn’t long before Sven sent her several photos and a report. “ording to the investigator, Pa had arge sum of money in her bank ount. This morning. Ralph and his crew withdrew it all.”


    Cecilia’s brows furrowed slightly. I knew it. I knew that they had no intention of paying back the money.


    “It’s a shame we have to wait fifteen days?


    They would keep all these pieces of evidence to use as the basis for enforcement. Only then would it be clear where all their money had been transferred.


    In response, Cecilia instructed Sven, “Please ensure someone keeps an eye on them. If any evidence surfaces, make sure it’s secured immedi -ly


    “All right”


    After Sven ended the call. Cecilia went downstairs to have breakfast.


    Recently, she had been eating more than usual, and her stomach had started to subtly grow, hinting at a possible pregnancy.


    Before she could even finish her breakfast, another call came through. Cecilia answered. surprised to find it was from Nichs. “How have you beentely?”


    This was the most ordinary of inquiries, to which Cecilia courteously responded, “I’m fine. How can I help you?”


    “I heard from Magnus that you’re in a legal dispute with Pa over money she’s unwilling to repay.” Nichs calmly stated. “Magnus has agreed to pay back a portion on her behalf.”Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    “Magnus?” Surprised, Cecilia asked, “Are you referring to Magnus Smith?”


    Nichs hummed in acknowledgment and then asked, “Do you want him to speak with you? He admitted that he was at fault.”


    Cecilia wasn’t buying it. Magnus had always been selfish since he was young. Could he really have changed?


    However, she was curious about what Magnus was up to and why he seemed so familiar with Nichs.


    “All right.” Nichs handed the phone to Magnus.


    Magnus took the phone and tried his best to tter Cecilia. “Cecilia, I just found out about thewsuit. Otherwise, I would have definitely been there for you in court. Thank goodness you won. Even if you hadn’t, I would still return your money.”


    Upon hearing that, Cecilia asked, “What are you up to?”


    A sh of impatience crossed Magnus‘ eyes. If it hadn’t been for Nichs, he wouldn’t have apologized to Cecilia or humbled himself at all.


    “Cecilia, I was pretty naive back then, not really getting how the world works,” Magnus admitted. -But working with Nichs has opened my eyes. I’ve realized how foolish I was.” He paused for a moment before continuing, “So, here’s the deal: I want to give you what I’ve saved up–the two hundred million Mom gave me. The rest went to Ralph. I genuinely didn’t have anything left. I only managed to put together this two hundred million by selling off my stuff.””


    Soon after Magnus finished speaking, Cecilia received two hundred million in her bank ount.
