<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">In just two weeks, Pa had transformed into apletely different person.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She was so thin and frail that there wasn’t an ounce of fat on her body. She even required the assistance of a caregiver to walk, and every action she took seemed to be an immense struggle.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Some members of the media had managed to slip in, and they were shocked to see Pa in such a state, having lost all her former grace and charm.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Pa would never have made an appearance if not to express her grievance. She looked at the jury with her sunken eyes before turning to her daughter, Cassandra.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cassandra met her gaze, devoid of any sympathy. Her eyes held only disdain and shock.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“What is Pa doing here?” she asked her assistant.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The assistant shook her head. “I have no idea.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“You’re so useless!”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Pa quickly shifted her gaze, gradually settling on Cecilia’s face.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia remained as tranquil as ever, her eyes devoid of any emotion.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Pa, however, was in deep agony.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Had she not repeatedly hurt Cecilia, perhaps Cecilia wouldn’t have behaved in such a distant manner.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Sven passed by Pa, making his way toward Cecilia. “Two groups of people started fighting while I was there, so I brought Pa and the caregiver into the car</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“All right, thanks,” said Cecilia.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Sven sat down.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The trial began swiftly.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Pa intended to file for divorce and sought to split their marital assets equally.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She also presented evidence of Ralph’s infidelity, which urred while she had recently been hospitalized.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Just as Ralph fervently denied all the usations, awyer from Orion Corporation unexpectedly appeared as a witness, leading to Ralph’s devastating defeat.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The judge decreed the divorce on the spot, ordering Ralph to divide half of his wealth with Pa.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After the court hearing concluded, Cassandra waspletely stunned.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">As soon as she left, she immediately called Nichs. “Nichs, why would the chief legal advisor of Orion Corporation assist Pa in thewsuit?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nichs, already aware of the oue, sat in his office chair, gazing at the tall buildings outside his window. “Cassandra, Pa is your biological mother, isn’t she?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">A sense of tension gripped Cassandra’s heart. “What? You must be mistaken. I’m just an orphan, taken in by my foster mother, Queenie.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“I have a copy of your parental identification test right here. Pa is indeed your biological mother. That’s why I helped her.” Nichs pretended it was all for Cassandra’s sake.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">His remark left Cassandra speechless.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After hanging up the phone, she rushed to Pa the moment she arrived. “Mom, why have you be so frail?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Pa now possessed half of the Evans family’s wealth.</font></font>
Pa had alreadye to understand the true nature of her heartless biological daughter. “Who are you calling ‘Mom‘? Didn’t we sever our rtionship a long time ago?”
“Mom.” Cassandra’s expression quickly shifted. “We share the same blood. I’m your child. I admit I’ve
How made some mistakes, but you can’t hold a grudge over such minor faults. I swear, from now on, I’ll treat you well.”This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.
As Cecilia emerged, she was met with this bizarre encounter.
Part of her wanted to y the recording from the day before, letting everyone hear the truth, but after a moment of reflection, she decided against it.
Just as she was about to leave with Sven, Pa suddenly called out to her. “Ceci.”
Cecilia paused, turning back. “Yes, Mdm. Pa?”
Pa’s hand trembled slightly at the way she addressed her.
“N–Nothing, really. The weather’s been getting coldertely. Take good care of yourself and the children,” Pa said slowly.
