Chapter 1950 Crying To Get Her Way

Cecilia knew exactly what kind of person Heather was. If she got a taste of success that day, there was no telling how many more times she'd show up at their door.

Elena understood this too, but she found herself in a tough spot and lowered her voice. "But what are we supposed to do? It doesn't feel right to throw them out!"

"Then let's call the police," Cecilia suggested.

Elena stared at her in disbelief.

Heather, standing nearby, looked stunned. "You insolent girl, what did you just say? I'm your grandmother!"

"I don't share any blood with Paula, and you're not my grandmother. You've never shown me a shred of affection," Cecilia replied coldly.

Heather's face contorted as she pointed at Cecilia, too shaken to speak.

But Cecilia didn't spare her a moment's pity. "When I came earlier, I recorded everything. Fifty million. You're trying to extort fifty million. Do you know that's jail time?" Cecilia held up her phone.

Heather never imagined Cecilia would actually record her. "Ungrateful girl! After everything my daughter's done for you, now you're siding with outsiders?"

"This is my mother-in-law. You're the outsider. If Paula hadn't taken me in, I would've reported you already. You sure you want to keep making a scene?" Cecilia said, her tone calm and steady.

She stood there, fists clenched, unsure of what to do next, until the only thing she
