Cassina stuttered, “D–Didn’t we wrong her once already yesterday?”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Cassandra clenched her fists. “Let me tell you something. Felix’s mother happens to be a good friend of mine. Be careful next time.”

“I will.”

Cassina was scolded by Cassandra as if she were a child. t that moment, Cassina wished she could just kill Cassandra. spot.

Cassina understood something as well. The woman standing before her, Cassandra, was far from being a good pers sole intention is to use me as a pawn against Cecilia. If by chance, I really manage to take down Cecilia, I might be the next one in line to face death.

Cassina pondered for a long while. It was highly probable that Cecilia was Queenie’s biological daughter, Cassina suspected that Cassandra had decided to keep her because she was afraid of the two acknowledging each other.

Hence, Cassandra wanted to use Cassina to get rid of Cecilia.

If Cecilia were to die, Queenie would never be able to find her biological daughter again.

Even if Queenie later discovered the truth, she would blame Cassina. By then, Cassina would suffer a tragic death..

“Go and talk bad about Cecilia to Queenie right now,” Cassandra urged.

Cassina’s heart was filled with unwillingness as she responded,

“Okay.”

The two of them went out together prior to that. When Queenie was playing with Dylan, she saw them arriving together. She was a bit puzzled. “What’s going on with you two? What were you chatting about in the room for so long?”

Cassandra immediately replied, “I was showing Cassina the wedding photos I’ve taken, along with discussing the wedding preparations.”

Queenie nodded before saying. “By the way, Cassie, don’t dwell too much on Cassandra’s wedding. I promise, in the future, I’ll arrange a grand wedding for you and your husband as well.”

After hearing that, Cassina didn’t have a chance to respond before Cassandra shot her a look.

She had no choice but to decline, saying, “Mom, it’s not necessary. Back in our hometown, it’s considered bad luck to hold a wedding ceremony twice.”

“Such customs still exist?” Queenie may not have agreed, but she respected it nonetheless. “All right, then. Weddings are for the public eye, after all. As long as you two are happy, that’s what matters.”

Upon hearing such words, Cassandra felt somewhat unsettled. It seemed as though her own wedding was merely a spectacle for others, serpected, Queenie is indeed biased. Now that her biological daughter is here, she’s treating me poorly. When she finds out the truth, she’ll get her comeuppance,

Cassandra then nudged Cassina again, signaling her to speak ill of Cecilia.

Left with no other choice, Cassina could only say, “Mom, there’s something I need to discuss with you. Could we let Dylan. return to his room first?”

Upon seeing her serious expression, Queenie handed Dylan over to the housekeeper.

Once the housekeeper had taken Dylan away, Cassina said, “Mom, Dylan spent the entire day playing with Cecilia’s son. Elliot. I feel that neither Cecilia nor her son have any respect for me or Dylan. Eli has always treated Dylan as his sidekick. and Cecilia doesn’t show much respect to me, either. She looks down on me.”

Queenie actually thought it was something serious. “Cassie, come here. If you want to earn people’s respect, you must first strive hard yourself. Do you understand?”

In an instant, Cassina was rendered speechless, left with no choice but to nod in embarrassment.

Cassandra thought Cassina was foolish, wondering why such a trivial matter was even worth discussing. “That’s right, Cassie You’re Mom’s daughter, after all. Don’t be so disheartened. You should strive to take over our family business in the future. Then, it will be you who looks down on Cecilia.”.

Ever since Queenie arrived at Rainsworth Manor, Elena hadn’t had a moment of rest. She busied herself with organizing all the necessary preparations for the wedding ceremony, following Queenie’s instructions to the letter.

Nicholas was in poor health, so he couldn’t manage all these matters.
