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

Chapter 1326 Forgive Cassandra

Cassina was gently led to her room to rest, and Cassandra was the one kneeling on the ground.

The atmosphere within the room was particularly stifling. Cassandra was sobbing inconsolably, saying, "Mom, I know I messed up, but I did it all for you."

"For me?" Queenie was almost amused to the point of exasperation. "Are you saying that you committed murder and harmed others all for my sake? Tell me, then. How exactly is killing Bailey supposed to be for my benefit?"

Cassandra was trembling as she kneeled on the ground. "Once Bailey is out of the picture, Cassina will only have you as her real mother. She won't think about outsiders anymore."

Why couldn't Cassina do the same with her foster mother? Since she was unwilling to do so, I thought I would help her. That way, she only has you as her mother!"
