    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Chapter 1055 Secretly Recorded</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cassandra couldn’t believe the conversation they had back then was secretly recorded by Cecilia.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She immediately signaled to the approaching reporter. “Stop taking pictures.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">However, even if the reporters didn’t record anything or take pictures, the guests who came would.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“She’s a fake prominent youngdy, then? So, is her real surname Evans or Smith?” one asked.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Ralph was furious. “My daughter will, of course, carry my surname.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Ah, so Pa was having an affair…” remarked another.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The Smith family members who hade to attend the funeral were instantly upset.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Are you kidding me? You and Pa have been together for a while now. Are you mocking that there’s no one left in the Smith family?” someone eximed.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The people from the Smith family and the Escobar family instantly started to shout at each other.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia watched the scene unfold, feeling nothing but sadness.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Vivian supported her, fearing she might get innocently caught up in trouble.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Not too far away, Nichs was closely observing the situation. Initially, he was worried about Cecilia, but it seemed that Cecilia was no longer the same as before, no longer a target for others to bully.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Magnus was taken aback by that scene.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He couldn’t quite process it. After all, people from both families were his rtives.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia approached him. “Magnus, I’ve made myself clear. I won’t fulfill any filial duties to Pa. I’ll leave her funeral arrangements to you. Also, I won’t fight for her or the Smith family’s wealth either,”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Magnus looked at Cecilia, feeling an overwhelming sense of unfamiliarity. She has truly changed. In the past. even if she knew the truth, she would never have exposed it in front of so many people and such an unsightly scene.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Cecilia, no matter what, you’re still my sister,” Magnus said.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nodding, Cecilia said to Vivian, “Let’s go.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“All right.” Vivian led Cecilia away.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">When the two children realized that their mom was going to leave so soon, they nned to return before she did.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jonathan recorded the scene there before he and Elliot attempted to leave through the back door. However, a figure stood in their way.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Does your mother know you two are here?” asked Nichs.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Even though Nichs had once saved Elliot, thetter was still instinctively afraid of him and chose to stand behind his older brother.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Mr. Rainsworth, could you please not tell our mommy?” Jonathan asked, a bit more boldly.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nichs‘ eyes were filled with warmth. “All right.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Thank you,” Jonathan expressed his gratitude before swiftly taking Elliot’s hand and leaving.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nichs watched the two leave, his expression unreadable..</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Amidst the crowd, Cassandra noticed him. “Nichs…</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She emerged from the group, heading toward Nichs in a disheveled state. “Nichs.”</font></font>


    Nichs‘ expression remained serene, feigning ignorance about what had transpired. “What happened? Why all thismotion?”


    “It’s all Cecilia’s fault.” There was nothing but resentment in Cassandra’s eyes. “Nichs, you didn’t hear anything just now, did you?”


    She feared Nichs would discover Pa was her actual biological mother and her consistent indifference toward her mother.


    Nichs had seen her true nature clearly long ago. “No, I just came in.”


    Cassandra sighed in relief. All I need to do now is to shut those people up with money.


    Outside the funeral parlor, Cecilia and Vivian were sitting in the car, yet they showed no intention of leaving.N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    “Why aren’t we leaving yet, Ceci?” Vivian thought that once Cecilia had said all she needed to, they would) depart.


    Cecilia nodded. “Just a moment.”


    Although Vivian didn’t understand what Cecilia was waiting for, she obediently sat by thetter’s side.


    At that moment, the people sent by Sven had already arrived at the funeral parlor. They were dressed in casual clothes, indistinguishable from the ordinary people around them.


    Themotion inside had more or less subsided, but the funeral still needed to take ce. Everyone had no choice but to swallow their anger.


    Either way, the Escobar and Smith families had burned their bridges with each other


    Far from feeling they were in the wrong, the Escobar family even took the opportunity to criticize the Smith family for being stingy during their dinner outing.


    Pointing at a few individuals, Cecilia asked Vivian, “Were they the ones who pushed you?”
