When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 687

Chapter 687 Stop Lying
As expected, Cecilia spotted Cassandra surrounded by a group of people.

Paula, on the other hand, was pushed into a corner by the crowd, looking utterly helpless.

An unusual glint crossed Cecilia's eyes, but she quickly looked away. “Let's go.”

“All right.”

Meanwhile, Paula stood awkwardly in the crowd, hoping Cassandra might lend her a hand. However, before she could ask, someone unexpectedly shoved her forward.

She fell hard to the ground. Passersby glanced her way but offered no help.

A sharp pain shot through her abdomen as if she were being stabbed repeatedly. She wanted to get up, but no matter how hard she tried, her body refused to cooperate.

Paula glanced toward Cassandra, only to find her engrossed in signing autographs and taking pictures with fans.

With no other option, she began to muster the strength to climb back on her own. Just then, a voice came from above. “Mdm. Paula, do you need any assistance?”

Paula froze, slowly lifting her head, only to meet Cecilia's cold, unyielding gaze.

Her pupils contracted, panic surging within her. All she wanted at that moment was to disappear and find a corner where Cecilia couldn't see her.

“What are you doing here? I don't need help from someone like you!” Paula shot back, her tone sharp and biting. “You're just here to mock me, aren't you?”

A flicker of amusement danced in Cecilia's eyes, the faintest hint of mockery crossing her face.

Vivian, standing nearby, stepped in to explain, “Mdm. Paula, Ceci and I just happened to be around.”

Paula, however, didn't believe her words. How could there be such a coincidence?

Despite feeling embarrassed, she glared fiercely at Cecilia. “Stop lying! You really think I don't know what's on your mind?”
