When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 441

Chapter 441 Her Biological Mother
After the engagement party began, Cassandra went on stage to thank her family. When she spoke about her mother, Paula perked up.

Paula was just about to step forward when Cecilia, in a gesture of kindness, stopped her.

“The Rainsworth family invited her biological mother, Queenie Jamieson.”

Having helped organize the engagement party, Cecilia was well aware of the proceedings.

Paula's expression changed instantly when she heard that.

Just yesterday, Cassandra had personally told her that Queenie wouldn't be attending and that Paula would be the one standing in the spotlight as her mother.

Paula thought Cecilia was deceiving her, but then she saw Queenie, appear before the crowd, walking toward Cassandra.

Short-haired and clad in a uniform, Queenie wasn't particularly beautiful, but she exuded a sharp, capable air that a pampered woman like Paula could never possess.

Queenie was somewhat well-known internationally, and as soon as she appeared, Cassandra's eyes filled with admiration and pride.

Compared to the perfunctory attitude she showed toward Elena, Cassandra regarded Queenie as her one true mother.

“Mom, I knew you'd come,” Cassandra said as she hugged her.

On stage, the mother and daughter displayed a deep affection, while offstage, Paula's face turned particularly sour, having just told everyone that Cassandra was her daughter.

The whispers in the crowd began.

“Isn't Cassandra's father Ralph? So isn't Paula her mother?”

“Yeah, she just told us Cassandra is her daughter.”

“You know nothing. Paula is Cassandra's stepmother. Cassandra calls her 'mom' out of respect for her father. Did you really think Paula is her biological mother?”

“What should we do? We just gave all the gifts meant for Cassandra's mother to Paula. Should we take them back now?”
