When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 684

Chapter 684 The Result Of The Court Proceedings
All the money was given to the Evans family! How am I supposed to return it to Cecilia? Besides, there's no way I'd give her the money.

Paula called out to Cecilia, who was walking away, her tone softened in an attempt to sound conciliatory. “Ceci, I've already given the money to the Evans family. There's no way I can get it back.”

Cecilia stopped and turned to face Paula, her expression unreadable. “Is that so? Then I'll proceed with applying for enforcement.”

She was sure Paula and Magnus had some personal savings.

Paula approached Cecilia, her earlier aggression now replaced by a desperate tone. “Are you trying to drive me to my grave? I don't have many years left!”

Cecilia looked at her calmly. “You brought this upon yourself.”

Paula's voice trembled with a mix of desperation and threat. “I'm your mother! If I end up with nothing, you won't have it easy either,” she warned.

With a dismissive smile, Cecilia asked, “Do you think I'm doing well now?”

Paula was momentarily taken aback.

Cecilia's eyes flashed with resolve as she glared at Paula. “I'm not intimidated by your threats. I'm determined to reclaim what rightfully belonged to Dad. You squandered all his money on another man. How can you even look at yourself in the mirror? My father loved you deeply—do you even deserve him? What's happening to you now is nothing but karma.”

After finishing her words, Cecilia turned and left.

It took a while for Paula to regain her composure. She yelled at Cecilia's retreating figure, “You monster! You'll pay!”

She only stopped glowering at Cecilia upon noticing the passersby looking their way.

Cecilia remained silent after returning to the car.

Nathaniel had also heard Paula cursing Cecilia.

Mason, irritated, almost wanted to say, What mother curses her own daughter? If her daughter's a monster, then what does that make her?

“Get out of the car,” Nathaniel instructed the driver and Mason.

Though unsure why, the driver and Mason did as they were told.

When they were alone in the car, Nathaniel finally said to Cecilia, “If you want to cry, just cry.”
