When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1738 Ceci And I Are Sisters

Scorpius quickly steadied Queenie, helping her out.

Cassandra was standing in front of a car, tears streaming down her face as she gazed at Queenie.

"Mom-no, Mdm. Queenie, I've received a video."

Hearing that, Queenie anxiously looked at her. "What video? Did it reveal anything about Ceci's whereabouts?"

Cassandra nodded slowly. "But you must stay strong after watching it."

Queenie felt a chill run through her heart. She steadied herself and demanded, "Give it to me!"

Cassandra took out her phone and played a video.

The moment Queenie watched it, she nearly fainted.

Cassandra said, "I believe this could be the doing of an enemy of yours or Ceci's. You mentioned wanting Ceci to inherit Jamieson Group, and it seems those people couldn't wait any longer and began targeting Ceci."

It was a really flawed statement on her part.

However, Queenie's mind was in such turmoil that she had no inclination to dwell on her words.

Scorpius, on the other hand, remained relatively composed.

"Ms. Evans, how did that person end up sending you the video?"

After a brief moment of hesitation, Cassandra responded, "I'm not sure either."

Scorpius didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he comforted Queenie, "Don't be upset. This video could very well be fake or doctored. The Jamieson family hasn't made any real enemies in the business world over the years. If it's merely a matter of competition, I doubt they would go so far as to threaten Ceci's life."

Queenie could barely stand, but she managed to nod and ask, "Didn't you say you knew where Ceci was?"

Only then did Scorpius remember. "Yes, based on the surveillance, we've identified the car that took Ceci. We can begin by tracing its route."

"Okay."

Queenie was assisted into the car.

She refused to believe that Cecilia was already dead. She lived by the principle, "Seeing is believing," and she needed tangible proof-to see her body-before accepting her demise.

Cassandra became somewhat uncertain. After all, videos could be easily

manipulated. They might not necessarily depict the truth.

She regretted not verifying if Cecilia had truly died.

"Mdm. Queenie, I'll go with you. After all, Ceci and I are sisters."

Queenie offered no response as she got into the car.

Cassandra got into her own car and instructed her driver to follow them.

She then called Ralph and said, "Dad, I need you to go to where Cecilia is being held. I need to know if she's really gone. I can't find peace otherwise."

Ralph had originally gone back, but upon hearing these words, he jolted upright.

"Could this really be a hoax? I'll head over right away to check it out."

"Okay."

Cassandra stared at the disconnected call, overwhelmed with emotions. If Cecilia

is all right, what am I supposed to do?

No, there's no way she's still alive.

During the entire journey, she, like Queenie, was deeply troubled and anxious about Cecilia's fate.

This place was too remote, with very few streetlights.

Suddenly, Cecilia's legs gave out, causing her to tumble to the ground.noveldrama

She hurriedly scrambled to her feet, disregarding the pain in her hands and legs, and continued to move forward.

Upon hearing the distant sound of a car, she quickly took cover.

Concealing herself behind a cluster of large trees, she observed as one black car after another approached from the distance.
