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

"You've truly let me down," Queenie said, her voice heavy with disappointment. Rising from her seat, she moved toward the door.

Cassandra, her heart racing, quickly stood and rushed to catch up, calling out, "Mom, don't you remember what happened with Cassina? I was just trying to avoid making the same mistakes!"

Mentioning Cassina only fueled Queenie's anger. She spun around, her voice sharp. "Do you think I didn't ask Cassina about the truth?"

Cassandra was stunned. She hadn't expected Queenie to have done so much digging behind the scenes.

"I've already told you everything about Cassina. Seeing how difficult it was for you to find your real daughter, I was worried the truth would shatter you," she explained.

Queenie's lips curled into a bitter sneer. "Worried? But according to Cassina, wasn't it really because you discovered that Cecilia is my daughter? And to stop me from finding her, you had Cassina keep pretending to be mine?"

Cassandra opened her mouth to protest, but Queenie silenced her with a cold, cutting glance. "Stop lying. If you continue to show no remorse, I will no longer acknowledge you as my child."
