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

Chapter 1425 Stella Is Captured For Questioning

"Mom..." Stella called out hesitantly, her voice laced with worry. "Mom, Cassandra's missing."

After dealing with Cecilia, Stella had tried reaching out to Cassandra, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get in touch with her.

Queenie turned toward her, her face a mix of shock and confusion. "What? What happened to Cassandra?"

"I'm not sure," Stella replied, her brow furrowed with concern. "I was supposed to accompany her to her prenatal check-up today, but when I went to find her, she was gone."

Queenie stood still, processing the unexpected news. Before she could respond, Nathaniel and his men approached.

"I had Cassandra confined," he stated.

Queenie looked at him, puzzled. "Why did you do that?"

"Cecilia's disappearance is directly tied to Cassandra," Nathaniel said. He then turned to Stella, his gaze sharp. "Cassandra claimed that you took my two children away, forcing Cecilia to search for them. Where is she now?"
