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

Chapter 1589 Magnus Confronts Cassandra

Cecília was momentarily taken aback. She had dealt with con artists before, but never one so clumsy in her approach. Has she been watching too many TV dramas?

Guests nearby witnessed the scene, and soon, whispers began to spread. Eyes turned toward Cecilia, filled with curiosity.

Cecilia, unfazed, shrugged off the attention. "You fell on your own. Don't blame me for it."

The commotion didn't go unnoticed by Queenie. As she made her way over, she spotted Cassandra sprawled on the ground and saw Cecilia walking away in the distance. "Cassandra, are you all right?" Immediately, Queenie rushed to Cassandra's side, concern written across her face.

Cassandra quickly shook her head. "It's nothing serious, I just couldn't convince Cecilia."

"What did you try to persuade her about?" Queenie asked, her brow furrowing in confusion.

"I told her to let go of her grudge against you," Cassandra explained with a hint of vulnerability. "But she refused. She even pushed me down, claiming that everything I have now was stolen from her." She tried to sound pitiful, but her tone was laced with dramatics. Seeing her in such a state, Queenie, in the past, would have believed her without hesitation. But now, after everything that had happened, she knew her adopted daughter's nature all too well.

"Cassandra," Queenie said coldly, her voice firm, "Ceci isn't like that. And besides, she's lost her memory. What could she possibly hold against me? Don't try these petty tricks again. Hasn't anyone ever told you that your temper is too quick to play the role of a tragic character?" Queenie's gaze was ice-cold as she delivered each word, her patience worn thin.
