<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cassina’s gaze flickered to Cassandra before she approached Queenie. In a sudden gesture, she knelt before her. “Mom,” she said softly.</font></font>Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Startled, Queenie immediately stood and rushed to her side. “What’s the matter? Why are you kneeling?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Mom, I need to ask you for a favor,” Cassina pleaded, tears brimming in her eyes. “I won’t get up until you agree.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Queenie’s heart tightened as she looked at her daughter in distress. “What is it? Just say the word.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Mom… I want Cecilia’s life. Will you help me?” Cassina’s voice cracked as she spoke.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Queenie’s face went pale, disbelief washing over her. “What did you just say?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Mom, I can’t stand Cecilia anymore,” Cassina sniffled, tears falling freely now. “I feel like she’s out to get me. Please help me… save me.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cassandra, seizing the moment, stepped forward. “Mom, I told you Cecilia was trouble. Now even Cassie can’t stand her.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">But Queenie’s response was unexpected. She looked sharply at Cassandra. “Do you take a life just because you dislike someone?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cassandra blinked in shock, taken aback by the cold retort.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Queenie stood up, turning to Cassina. “Life is precious. I don’t ever want to hear you say something like that again,” she said firmly.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">With that, she cast a final nce at Cassandra. “Come with me to the study,” she ordered.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cassandra, still reeling from Queenie’s rebuke, followed her mother in silence. She had assu d that with Cassina’s plea, Queenie would take her side, just as she had always done in the past. But now, everything seemed to be unraveling.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Once inside the study, before Cassandra could speak, Queenie turned to her with fury in her did you make Cassie say those things?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">eyes. “Why</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Huh?” Cassandra feigned innocence, “Mom, I didn’t make her say anything. It was all her own idea-”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Do you take me for a fool?” Queenie interrupted, her voice rising. “Cassie and Cecilia have no bad blood between them. Why would she suddenly want her dead? I also know what happened with you and Ralph today. You’re trying to use me to get revenge, aren’t you?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Queenie’s sneer was sharp. “Let me tell you something I’d rather Ralph die out there than lift a finger to help him.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cassandra’s face turned red with embarrassment. She hadn’t expected her true intentions to be exposed so quickly. “Mom, I’ve had such a hard time because of Nathaniel’s people, and it’s all because of Cecilia,” she tried to exin, but Queenie was having none of it.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Isn’t that a mess you made for yourself? From now on use your head, instead of dragging others into your problems!”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Queenie was livid. Cassandra’s maniption of Cassina had crossed a line.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cassandra’s eyes welled with frustrated tears. “Mom,” she muttered, “ever since Cassie came back, you’ve been favoring her more and more.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">With that, she storme</font></font>
