When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 665

Chapter 665 The Wicked Mother
Paula was taken aback. Sensing the insinuation in Cecilia's words, she couldn't help but ask, “What do you mean?”

“Did you have anything to do with my father's car accident?” Cecilia asked.

Panic was evident in Paula's eyes.. “What are you babbling about?”

Her reaction came as a deep blow to Cecilia.

She didn't press further, falling silent.

Paula became self-conscious out of guilt. “In the will that Regas left you, did he mention anything else?”

Upon hearing those words, Cecilia looked into Paula's eyes, finding nothing but unfamiliarity. The woman before him was her own mother and the wife who had gone through thick and thin with her father.

“What do you think?” Instead of answering, Cecilia threw the question back to her.

Paula's expression subtly shifted as she abruptly grabbed Cecilia's wrist. “Show me the will!” she demanded.

Cecilia abruptly pulled away from her grasp. “Don't worry. I'll make it public in court.”

The will simply stated that if Magnus proved to be incompetent, Cecilia had the right to take over all of the Smith family's assets. It didn't speak ill of Paula in any way.

However, she intended to sow seeds of doubt in Paula's mind, to instill fear in the latter.

Paula's stomach began to ache again, her face breaking out in a cold sweat.

“You ingrate. I knew I shouldn't have raised you!”

Upon observing Paula's current state, Cecilia was certain that the former was indeed gravely ill.

Perhaps this is divine retribution.

As she turned to leave, Paula called out to her again, “Do you know why I favor Cassandra over you?”

Cecilia paused in her tracks.
