When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him Novel
Chapter 462

Chapter 462 Her Name Is Cassandra

Paula picked up the document with a puzzled look. Upon opening it, she was surprised to see that it was a lawyer’s letter.

The letter stated that, prior to his death, Regas had made a will, leaving all his assets to Cecilia.

Cecilia was now demanding that Paula and Magnus return all the businesses owned by Smith Corporation.

When Paula was once married to Regas, she wasn’t particularly favored by him. As a result, they had a prenuptial agreement in place. All the profits from Smith Corporation belonged solely to Regas, and Paula had no share in it.

Therefore, the Regas will leaving all his assets to Cecilia was permissible.

“How dare that b*tch sue mel

Cassandra scoffed, “Mom, you better handle this situation properly. Otherwise, it could affect Dad’s company.”

Cassandra knew that Ralph’s success up to that point was largely thanks to Paula, hence the respect he had shown her.

Nevertheless, she harbored deep disdain for Paula, utterly reluctant to acknowledge the latter as her own biological mother.

“I know. I’ll take care of this matter

If Cecilia wins the lawsuit, I won’t be a lady of the Evans family anymore.

On one side of the couch, Magnus was seated with his legs crossed, quietly munching on chips and listening intently.

He hadn’t expected his seemingly weak and incapable sister to actually have the audacity to take their mother to court.

It seems that Cecilia has truly changed. There’s hope for me in re–establishing Smith Corporation.

“Mom, I’m going out for a bit,” he said.

After informing his mother, Magnus stepped out to give Cecilia a call.

The call connected, and he complimented, “Cecilia, let’s team up. I’ll help you win the lawsuit. and once you get the money back, I’ll take the reins as CEO.”

Cecilia had not expected that at this moment, Magnus would still be indulging in such unrealistic expectations.

“Wasn’t I clear enough last time? You’re simply not cut out to be in management at Smith Corporation. If you’re in need of a job, I can offer you one as a janitor.”

From the other end of the line, the icy voice of Cecilia echoed in Magnus‘ ears, sounding particularly grating.

Had it not been for his fear of Zachary, he felt compelled to give Cecilia a few slaps.

“As a woman, you really think you can run Smith Corporation? Have you no shame?”

Cecilia ended the call.

Magnus tried to call again, but the new number was unreachable–Cecilia had blocked him once more.

“Darn it! You just wait!”

After blocking Magnus, Cecilia was just about to take a break when her phone rang again.

She was perplexed as she picked up her phone but soon realized it was the investigator she hired.

“Ms. Smith, the results are in. Cassandra and Paula are indeed mother and daughter. I’ll send you the DNA test results.”

Cecilia tightened her grip on her mobile phone, her fingertips paling slightly.

Though she could guess the results earlier, she couldn’t help but feel a jolt of surprise when she actually heard the answer.

Paula had cheated on her father a long time ago, having a child with another man.

Previously, whatever she said about him causing her to lose her figure was nothing but a lie!

Cecilia had never imagined that someone’s acting skills could be so convincing that even she was deceived.

After she hung up the phone, she stared at the DNA test results, lost in thought for a long time.

After an indeterminate amount of time had passed, the call from Norman snapped her back to reality.

“What is it, Mr. Jenkins?”

“The lawyer’s letter has been sent out, so I reckon Paula won’t have peace over the next few days,” Norman responded.

“Thanks for your help.”

Cecilia was determined to keep Paula on edge.

Before long, Paula’s calls started coming in one after another. However. Cecilia put her phone on silent, ignoring her calls.

She needed some time to process the fact that Paula was Cassandra’s mother.

Nathaniel had gone out for work, leaving only Cecilia and Martha at home.

Martha noticed that Cecilia had been staying in her room and hadn’t come out, so she knocked. on the door and went in to check on her.

“What’s wrong, Cecilia?”

Cecilia didn’t hold anything back. “Paula has another biological daughter, who is a bit older than me. Her name is Cassandra.”
