When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 700

Chapter 700 Please Divorce Dad
Ralph had no idea shortly after he sold his shares, Nathaniel's subordinates snapped them all up at a low price.

He thought he had struck gold.

“If we don't go to court, doesn't it mean we'll have to return the money to Cecilia?” asked Cassandra.

A cold glint flashed in Ralph's eyes. “Cassandra, Cecilia could demand us to return the money because your mom and I were still married. If we were to divorce, it would become Paula's personal debt.”

After hearing that, Cassandra did not offer any rebuttal, merely saying, “We'll go find Mom tomorrow.”

Naturally, she preferred money over Paula.

The following morning, Ralph and Cassandra's visit made Paula's quiet hospital room unusually lively.

She assumed the two had come specifically to see her, so she intentionally ignored Ralph, only engaging in conversation with Cassandra.

Ralph knew he was in the wrong for never once visiting her, so he could only signal to Cassandra with his eyes.

Understanding Ralph's message, Cassandra waited until he went outside before telling Paula about everything Cecilia had done, spicing up the details with exaggerations.

“That wretched girl! I can't believe she had the nerve to demand money from you guys!” Paula exclaimed.

“Mom, I heard from the caregiver that Cecilia came to see you yesterday. Was there a specific reason?” Cassandra asked.

“No, she just wants me to return the money.” After saying that, Paula took Cassandra's hand and continued, “Cassandra, you've been through a lot because of me. That wretched girl said she'll visit me every week from now on. I'll speak to her.”

Cassandra probed, “Mom, don't you have any other solutions for us to avoid returning the money?”

Paula fell silent for a moment, wrestling with words she suppressed over and over before finally shaking her head.
