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

Chapter 1116 An Unexpected Ally

“Young people can be somewhat thoughtless in their actions. Mdm. Queenie, I would like to apologize to you and your daughter on behalf of my daughter–in–law. As for kneeling, let’s forget about it. We’re all family here. Besides, my daughter–in–law is pregnant.” This was the first time Elena had spoken so gently to a woman of the same age.

Queenie was nonetheless swayed by Elena’s intervention on Cecilia’s behalf and her apology. Her mood visibly lightened.

Elena once again addressed Cecilia, “Quick, offer another apology to Ms. Cassina. Mdm. Queenie is a magnanimous woman. She won’t fuss over a misunderstanding with a naive girl like you.”

Compared to the domineering Cecilia, Elena was more tactful and diplomatic.

Cecilia was as apologetic as she could be. “Ms. Cassina, I’m sorry. There must be some misunderstanding here, I deeply regret this.”

At this point, Queenie and Cassina found it inappropriate to push it any further. If they persisted, it would only show their lack of magnanimity.

Moreover, Queenie had picked up on some clues earlier. Perhaps Cecilia truly hadn’t been giving her own daughter a hard time. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have dared to confront Cassina.

“Alright, you can go back to work now. I still have things to discuss with Mdm. Queenie.”

“Understood.”
