Chapter 1360 Web Of Deceit
"Hopefully, you truly think that way." Nathaniel dropped onest remark before leaving the office.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Eric standing at the entrance.
Eric had originally wanted to witness the two rivals tear each other apart, but to his surprise, they''d reconciled.
Nathaniel didn''t spare him a nce and walked past him, heading to deal with other matters.
Calvin came out behind Nathaniel, and upon seeing Eric, his eyes were full of disdain. "Don''t think I don''t know you secretly told Nathaniel about my return! I despise scheming men like you the most!"
Eric, not one to back down, replied, "We''re just pursuing the person we like in our own way. How does that make it scheming?"
Calvin sneered coldly. "You like Ceci very much, don''t you?"
Eric faltered.
"Of course."N?velDrama.Org owns this text.
"If you do, then stop making things harder for her. Let her be happy." Calvin gave Eric''s shoulder a firm pat before heading toward his office.
Eric stood frozen, pondering Calvin''s words.
He, too, just wanted Cecilia to be happy.
What he didn''t know was that, for Calvin, destroying a famous singer like him would be like a piece of cake.
Calvin only let Eric off the hook because of Cecilia''s friendship with him.
Meanwhile, Cecilia had no idea about the tensions outside her office. She was deep in thought, trying to figure out who was behind all this.
In truth, she didn''t have many enemies, only Cassandra and Miranda.
<i>Miranda had been keeping a low profiletely. Could it be Cassandra?</i>
Recalling what Ste mentioned yesterday, it seemed usible.
At that moment, Ste, now recovered, was apanying Cassandra for a beauty care routine.
"You''re really something. Back when Cassina begged Queenie to deal with Cecilia, she refused. But as soon as you stepped in, Queenie took action," Ste remarked with a hint of amusement.
Cassandra basked in thepliment. "I think Mdm. Queenie just has a soft spot for you."
"When will the n go into action?" she asked eagerly. "I can''t wait to see Cecilia fall."
"Take it slow, this is just the beginning. It''s fun for a tiger to tease its prey before devouring it," Ste said with a smirk.
Upon hearing this, Cassandra
admired her even more. "As long as you handle this well and stay out of thepetition for the Jamieson family''s heir position, I''ll ensure you''re treated generously."
Ste quickly replied, "Ms. Evans, rest assured, my only goal is to take revenge on Cecilia. I have no desire at all for the Jamieson family''s heir position." "Good, I hope so."
Cassandra only said that to reassure
her, but in her mind, once Ste took care of Cecilia, she would make sure to get rid of her. She would never someone who posed a threat by her side.
Both women had their own ulterior motives.
At that moment, Miranda knocked and entered. "Well, you two seem to be having quite the time."
The three women quickly filled the room with lively chatter.
Yet, none of them expected that Queenie would secretly have someone conduct a DNA test behind their backs.
After taking revenge on Yvette, Ste also went after those who mocked her during her downfall.
She thought her actions were wless, but little did she know, everything was under Queenie''s watch.
"I never expected her to be so ruthless despite her gentle appearance," Queenie murmured to herself.
Her secretary, equally shocked, added, "Indeed. Ms. Yvette was once her best friend, but to think she would... sigh..." Queenie took a sip of warm water.
"Ensure the investigation stays under wraps. Not a word to anyone."
After a pause, she asked, "How are things on Cecilia''s side?"
