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

Chapter 1608 Shouldering Blame

After Queenie and Scorpius returned, Cassandra also heard what Cecilia had said.

"Mom, Scorpius, you two are her elders. It's one thing to apologize to her, but how could you actually agree to go to jail?" Cassandra was most afraid that this matter would drag her down. Scorpius sighed repeatedly. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have done wrong in the first place. I never thought it would come back to hurt us. I deserve this."

Upon hearing his words, Queenie couldn't help but say, "I don't blame you. It was my lack of foresight."

Back then, they abused their power to bully others.

Cassandra watched as the two people took turns shouldering blame, a look of disdain evident in her eyes. "No one can be blamed for this. Who would've known that she was my sister?" Queenie refuted her, "Even if she wasn't related to us, we shouldn't have acted that way in the first place."

"Yeah..." Scorpius pounded his leg. "Back then, when I was with Mdm. Queenie, we basically never bullied innocent people. However, as the Jamieson family grew more powerful, our attitudes changed."

He looked at Cassandra and said, "Cassandra, you need to adjust your attitude in the future. Don't take advantage of those who are vulnerable. Your mother and I are getting old, and from now on, you'll have to forge your own path." Cassandra didn't pay any mind to what they said.

"Scorpius, this isn't what you told me when I was a child," she said. "You told me that I was the prominent young lady of the Jamieson family, that I could have anything I desired, even if it meant taking it by force."

Scorpius choked on his words, not daring to say anything more.
