When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1606

Chapter 1606 The Return Of Scorpius
Cassandra observed the frosty glances the sisters showed her and silently made up her mind. As soon as Brooklyn left, she would set her plan into motion.

After having dinner, Queenie sent Brooklyn to the airport.

She had just returned home, and Cassandra was still awake. She brought over a warm cup of milk, saying, “Mom, have some milk.”

“Alright, thank you.” Queenie accepted it without much thought and finished drinking in one gulp.

After she was done, she looked at Cassandra and confided in her, “Your aunt and I went to see Ceci today.”

Cassandra appeared magnanimous on the surface as she asked, “Has she forgiven you?”

Queenie shook her head. “She's still distant toward me. I don't know how to make her forgive me.”

She looked up at Cassandra once again.

“Cassandra, darling, I have modified her will, leaving half of the estate to Ceci. You wouldn't hold it against me, would you?”

Half of the inheritance!

A storm of shock and anger surged within Cassandra.

Why should half of the wealth be given to someone who doesn't even acknowledge their own mother? What gives Cecilia the right?

Cassandra broke into a smirk. “Mom, I thought you were going to leave all the inheritance to her.”

“Of course not. You're my daughter too.” Queenie reached out and held Cassandra's hand.

However, all the latter felt from the gesture was nothing but disgust.

But, she knew that Queenie would soon depart from this world, never to upset her again.

“Mom, thank you. Even though I'm just your adopted daughter, you still treat me as if I were your own,” Cassandra said.

Queenie wanted to say something more, but she felt a little dizzy and a sense of discomfort gripped her chest.

“Don't be silly. Alright now, I'm going to rest.”

“Sure.” Cassandra nodded, watching as Queenie ascended the stairs.

After Queenie left, Cassandra picked up the milk cup and washed it clean.
