<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“You guys must find her before Queenie does this time. Once you’ve located her, figure out a way to obtain her biological samples.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cassandra had initially nned to conduct a paternity test. If Cassina wasn’t Queenie’s daughter, everything would be fine. But if she was, Cassandra had no intention of showing her any mercy.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Yes, Ms. Evans,” the assistant acknowledged.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Only after that did Cassandra hang up the phone, continuing her rest.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia drove back home after work.</font></font>This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She didn’t immediately return to Daltonia Vi, but instead drove to the fimeral home Magnus mentioned. Preparations for Pa’s funeral were already underway there.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">For a long time, Cecilia stood outside, staring at Pa’s photo from afar. She wasn’t sure how much time had passed before she finally got in her car and drove away.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">When she returned home, Vivian approached her. “How’s work?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“It was fine,” Cecilia replied. “I’ve already finished all the work for the next few days. I’ll be staying at home.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“That’s great! We can bake cupcakes together and even binge–watch shows,” Vivian said excitedly.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia nodded.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The two children also emerged from the room.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“You two finally decided to show up,” Vivianined to Cecilia. “They’ve been hiding in their room all day. Who knows what they’ve been up to.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jonathan furrowed her brows, “What, do you want us to watch Keprarian dramas with you?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Vivian was re speechless. I have to give it to this brat.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia watched their yful banter, a rare smile gracing her features.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“All right, you boys go y with each other. We adults will hang out ourselves,” she urged.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">That finally shut the boys up.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Vivian pulled Cecilia toward the couch. “Let’s watch some TV. Once Lucille returns, we’ll have dinner.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“All right.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Inside the house, the atmosphere was warm and lively a stark contrast to the tense mood outside. Cecilia and Vivian sat together watching TV, awaiting Lucille’s return. When she finally arrived, the three women and the two children gathered around the table to share a meal.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">At night, when it was time for Cecilia to go to bed, she received a message from the WhatsApp group with the other mothers.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Helen: I heard from Terry that Jon took a few days off. Is heck? Is everything okay?</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Ceci quickly typed: He’s fine. He took leave because his grandmother passed away.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">In the eyes of the public, Pa was still the children’s grandmother.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Helen: I sec. My condolences.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The other mothers also began expressing their condolences.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia responded to every one of them.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She received another message from Meredith: I just found out today about Aubree’s breach of contract. I’m truly sorry. She really has no respect for me!</font></font>
Meredith was talking about Hardy Group and Orion Corporation’s previous coboration which was disrupted by Imminence Corporation, leading to Aubree breaching the contract. As a result, the project was handed over to Cecilia.
Cecilia knew that this had nothing to do with Meredith and Aubree. She replied: Meredith, it’s not Ms. Hardy’s fault. She told me Imminence Corporation offered a lower price. She was just considering thepany’s development.
Meredith: Don’t exin on her behalf. From now on, I won’t turn to her for anything.
Meredith was genuinely disappointed in Aubree. She had made it clear to Aubree that Cecilia was a friend, yet Aubree still went back on her word. If it had been Meredith, she would have honored her promise, even if it meant taking a loss, and never would have put Cecilia in such a difficult position.
She then asked Cecilia: Ceci, how did you end up as a secretary at Orion Corporation? If you’re in need of a job, you shoulde to ourpany. I can arrange for you to be the general manager.
Cecilia smiled and typed: I was thinking of starting from the grassroots level.
The two chatted for quite a while, and when Meredith found out that Cecilia had be a manager in the sales department, she said generously: I’ll coborate with you.
