When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel)

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.”

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.
