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

Chapter 1746 Deliberately Provoke Her

"For her sake, I severed ties with my own mother. And what about her? Once she found her biological daughter, she discarded me. Where's the justice in that?" Cassandra asked.

Queenie, however, wasn't scared in the least. Instead, she retorted with a cold laugh, "Are you sure I was the one who discarded you after I found my biological daughter? I had made myself perfectly clear that even though I'd found Ceci, I would split my wealth between you two equally. You were the one who wasn't satisfied, your greed even driving you to endanger my life and hers!"

Pausing briefly, she added, "I owe you nothing. Besides, didn't you sever ties with your biological mother because of the wealth I possess? If I were penniless, would you still have cut her off? If you were unwilling to do so, could I have forced you?"

Those words left Cassandra at a loss for a response.

She lost it completely and started raging, "Y-You shut up! This is all your fault. Why did you have to go looking for your biological daughter? Wasn't I enough for you? You're so ungrateful. You deserve to never find your child!"

Queenie couldn't be bothered to engage in further conversation. She turned to Scorpius and said, "Scorpius, don't be afraid. I won't be around much longer anyway. You guys come over and take her away. This is perfect timing, as she can then be sentenced to death."

Scorpius, however, was reluctant to step forward.

"Mdm. Queenie..."

Cassandra was also very worried that Scorpius would indeed listen to Queenie.
