<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Before Nichs could respond, Magnus sneered, “As Mom’s daughter, you didn’t show up. It’s only natural for Nichs, as Mom’s future son–inw, toe. Not everyone is as heartless as you.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">A cold glint flickered in Cassandra’s eyes as Magnus chastised her in front of everyone. “Magnus, you’ve grown bold, haven’t you? Since when is it your ce to lecture me? Do you really think Nichs would’ve helped you if it wasn’t for me?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Magnus was silenced by those words.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cassandra nced around, but she didn’t see Pa’s body anywhere.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The caregiver gently reminded, “Mdm. Pa has already been taken to the morgue. If you wish to see her, I can take you there.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Who wants to see a corpse? Didn’t you know I was pregnant? Do you want to harm my baby?” Cassandra’s face was filled with disgust.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The caregiver was momentarily at a loss for words.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">At that moment, Cassandra noticed the cardboard box on the ground, containing the crudely made scarf and gloves. She disdainfully gave it a kick. “What kind of trash is this? Why is it lying around here?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After grumbling, she added, “I overheard you guys discussing the division of Mom’s inheritance earlier.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She acknowledged Pa as her mother when speaking of the inheritance.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Magnus, worried that she would try to seize the inheritance, quickly said, “Mom has already written her will. All of her assets will go to my sister, Cecilia. She didn’t leave a penny for you. You should leave now.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“My dad split over two billion with her. How could Mom possibly leave everything to her?” Cassandra couldn’t believe it.</font></font>N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">In the past, no matter what mistakes she made, Pa always forgave her, often reminding her that blood ties were the only thing that truly mattered, and everyone else was insignificant.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">This was precisely why she had always been so fearless and confident.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Ms. Evans, it’s true. Mdm. Pa officially notarized her will here with me,” thewyer confirmed.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nichs added, “Cassandra, didn’t you already cut ties with Pa? It’s only natural she wouldn’t leave you anything.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cassandra refused to believe them.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She wanted to see Pa and ask her, but she was already dead.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“You’re kidding, right? I don’t believe it!”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Uninterested in entertaining Cassandra, Cecilia left the hospital first.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nichs was losing his patience. “You’re pregnant now; you can’t stay here for long. I’ll have someone take you home.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">his eyes stopped her mid–sentence. Intimidated by hist</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Nichs…” Cassandra began, but the coldness, piercing stare, she fell silent and slunk away in shame..</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">When she stepped outside and saw Cecilia, who was just about to get into the car, she quickened her pace and stopped Cecilia. “Cecilia, what on earth did you do to make Pa leave all his money to you?”</font></font>
Cecilia paused in her tracks, her hand resting on the car door, before turning to nce back at Cassandra, her eyes brimming with irritation.
“Do you want to know?”
“Tell me!”
“Why don’t you go and meet Pa in hell and ask her yourself?”
Cecilia’s remark enraged Cassandra so much she nearly fainted. Just as she opened her mouth to snap. back, Cecilia jumped into the car. The engine roared to life, sending a cloud of exhaust Into Cassandra’s face.
She stood frozen, her frustration boiling over, leaving her with nothing to do but stomp her foot in fury.
Seated in the car, Cecilia leaned against the backrest, ncing at Cassandra’s reflection in the rearview mirror. Exhausted, she shut her eyes, too drained and weary to waste any more energy on people like her.
When she returned, the house felt empty and quiet. Lucille was at work, and Elliot was still at school, leaving herpletely alone.
The realization that Pa had passed away struck her hard.
Memories of the past kept surfacing in her mind. She remembered the times when Pa would often y the piano in the living room and pretend to be kind to her in front of Regas.
As she grew older, more and more people drifted out of her life–those she loved and those she didn’t. One by one, they all slowly faded away.
