When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1278

Chapter 1278 The New Boss
Cassandra couldn't be bothered to respond to him. “You should mind your own business. You lost the lawsuit to Magnus and consequently owe him money. In the future, try to limit your interactions with the secretary and find something useful to do.”

Ralph, however, remained unfazed.

“Cassandra, don't I still have you?” he said. “Once Queenie is dead, her wealth will be yours, which essentially means it will be mine too.”

Cassandra cast him a sidelong glance, wondering to herself, <i>With Queenie gone, how long do you think you can still live?</i>

She complained, “I'm having a hard time too, you know. Queenie has found her biological daughter, and now, the latter is all she cares about. She doesn't pay any attention to me anymore.”

“I remember now. It's that girl, Cassina!” A vicious glint flashed in Ralph's eyes. “Cassandra, we must be ruthless in our actions. If you can't bring yourself to do it, I will find someone to deal with her!”

Ralph drew his finger across his neck.

Cassandra shook her head. “That won't be necessary.”

“Why?”

“She isn't Queenie's biological daughter at all; she's an imposter,” stated Cassandra.

Ralph didn't understand. “Then why didn't you tell Queenie?”

“You don't understand. If I tell Queenie now, she'll still go looking for her biological daughter. I plan to wait until she's on her deathbed, when she can hardly move, and then seize the opportunity to tell her.” Cassandra figured that not only would Queenie feel guilty toward her, but she also wouldn't have time to find her real daughter, who wouldn't be able to compete with her for the family fortune then.

Upon hearing this, Ralph broke into a proud smile. He patted Cassandra's shoulder. “Just as expected of my daughter. You're so smart!”

As the two were engrossed in their conversation, a gentle knock on the door interrupted them. It was Ralph's secretary.

“Ralph, the boss is here.”

Cassandra shot a displeased glance at the young secretary. “This is the office and you're just a secretary. How dare you address my father so casually? Have you no shame?”

The assistant blushed after she was reprimanded by Cassandra, pouting as she looked at Ralph.

Ralph certainly wouldn't offend his wealthy and influential darling daughter for her sake. “Enough. From now on, listen to Cassandra. At the office, call me Mr. Evans.”
