<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cassandra wanted Cassina to speak ill of Cecilia in front of Queenie, with the intention of turning Queenie against Cecilia.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cassina stuttered, “D–Didn’t we wrong her once already yesterday?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“What’s that supposed to mean?” Cassandra clenched her fists. “Let me tell you something. Felix’s mother happens to be a good friend of mine. Be careful next time.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“I will.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cassina was scolded by Cassandra as if she were a child. t that moment, Cassina wished she could just kill Cassandra. spot.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cassina understood something as well. The woman standing before her, Cassandra, was far from being a good pers sole intention is to use me as a pawn against Cecilia. If by chance, I really manage to take down Cecilia, I might be the next one in line to face death.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cassina pondered for a long while. It was highly probable that Cecilia was Queenie’s biological daughter, Cassina suspected that Cassandra had decided to keep her because she was afraid of the two acknowledging each other.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Hence, Cassandra wanted to use Cassina to get rid of Cecilia.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">If Cecilia were to die, Queenie would never be able to find her biological daughter again.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Even if Queenieter discovered the truth, she would me Cassina. By then, Cassina would suffer a tragic death..</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Go and talk bad about Cecilia to Queenie right now,” Cassandra urged.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cassina’s heart was filled with unwillingness as she responded,</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Okay.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The two of them went out together prior to that. When Queenie was ying with Dn, she saw them arriving together. She was a bit puzzled. “What’s going on with you two? What were you chatting about in the room for so long?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cassandra immediately replied, “I was showing Cassina the wedding photos I’ve taken, along with discussing the wedding preparations.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Queenie nodded before saying. “By the way, Cassie, don’t dwell too much on Cassandra’s wedding. I promise, in the future, I’ll arrange a grand wedding for you and your husband as well.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After hearing that, Cassina didn’t have a chance to respond before Cassandra shot her a look.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She had no choice but to decline, saying, “Mom, it’s not necessary. Back in our hometown, it’s considered bad luck to hold a wedding ceremony twice.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Such customs still exist?” Queenie may not have agreed, but she respected it nheless. “All right, then. Weddings are for the public eye, after all. As long as you two are happy, that’s what matters.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Upon hearing such words, Cassandra felt somewhat unsettled. It seemed as though her own wedding was merely a spectacle for others, serpected, Queenie is indeed biased. Now that her biological daughter is here, she’s treating me poorly. When she finds out the truth, she’ll get hereuppance,</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cassandra then nudged Cassina again, signaling her to speak ill of Cecilia.</font></font>
Left with no other choice, Cassina could only say, “Mom, there’s something I need to discuss with you. Could we let Dn. return to his room first?”
Upon seeing her serious expression, Queenie handed Dn over to the housekeeper.
Once the housekeeper had taken Dn away, Cassina said, “Mom, Dn spent the entire day ying with Cecilia’s son. Elliot. I feel that neither Cecilia nor her son have any respect for me or Dn. Eli has always treated Dn as his sidekick. and Cecilia doesn’t show much respect to me, either. She looks down on me.”Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
Queenie actually thought it was something serious. “Cassie,e here. If you want to earn people’s respect, you must first strive hard yourself. Do you understand?”
In an instant, Cassina was rendered speechless, left with no choice but to nod in embarrassment.
Cassandra thought Cassina was foolish, wondering why such a trivial matter was even worth discussing. “That’s right, Cassie You’re Mom’s daughter, after all. Don’t be so disheartened. You should strive to take over our family business in the future. Then, it will be you who looks down on Cecilia.”.
Ever since Queenie arrived at Rainsworth Manor, Elena hadn’t had a moment of rest. She busied herself with organizing all the necessary preparations for the wedding ceremony, following Queenie’s instructions to the letter.
