When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1606 The Return Of Scorpius

Cassandra observed the frosty glances the sisters showed her and silently made up her mind. As soon as Brooklyn left, she would set her plan into motion. After having dinner, Queenie sent Brooklyn to the airport.

She had just returned home, and Cassandra was still awake. She brought over a warm cup of milk, saying, "Mom, have some milk."

"Alright, thank you." Queenie accepted it without much thought and finished drinking in one gulp.

After she was done, she looked at Cassandra and confided in her, "Your aunt and I went to see Ceci today."

Cassandra appeared magnanimous on the surface as she asked, "Has she forgiven you?"

Queenie shook her head. "She's still distant toward me. I don't know how to make her forgive me."

She looked up at Cassandra once again.

"Cassandra, darling, I have modified her will, leaving half of the estate to Ceci. You wouldn't hold it against me, would you?"

Half of the inheritance!

A storm of shock and anger surged within Cassandra.

Why should half of the wealth be given to someone who doesn't even acknowledge their own mother? What gives Cecilia the right? Cassandra broke into a smirk. "Mom, I thought you were going to leave all the inheritance to her."

"Of course not. You're my daughter too." Queenie reached out and held Cassandra's hand.

However, all the latter felt from the gesture was nothing but disgust.

But, she knew that Queenie would soon depart from this world, never to upset her again.

"Mom, thank you. Even though I'm just your adopted daughter, you still treat me as if I were your own," Cassandra said.

Queenie wanted to say something more, but she felt a little dizzy and a sense of discomfort gripped her chest.

"Don't be silly. Alright now, I'm going to rest."

"Sure." Cassandra nodded, watching as Queenie ascended the stairs.

After Queenie left, Cassandra picked up the milk cup and washed it clean.

"Mom, don't blame me for being heartless. Y You should never

Caliste was quite worried. "Mdm. Queenie, you can't go on like this. Should we go to the hospital?"

Queenie shook her head. "There's no point in going to the hospital. It's useless."

Caliste let out a sigh. "What should we do? There's so much going on in the company."

After some thought, Queenie said, "Recall Scorpius from abroad."

Scorpius, the very man who had once kidnapped Jonathan, had spent years abroad laying low.

"Right now?" Caliste couldn't believe it. "If Nathaniel decides to hold him accountable..."

"I insist on taking him with me to apologize to Cecilia and to set everything right," explained Queenie. "Understood."

Caliste didn't inquire further. Instead, she called Scorpius, who was abroad.

Upon receiving the instruction, Scorpius immediately purchased a return flight ticket.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel had also received news of Scorpius's return.

"He's been hiding all these years, why choose to return now?" Nathaniel asked solemnly.

Mason shook his head. "I'm not sure, perhaps something unexpected happened at the Jamieson family."

Scorpius was Queenie's right-hand man, holding a significant position.noveldrama

For this very reason, even though Queenie knew that the person she had kidnapped was her own grandson, she never punished Scorpius.

"Let's head back," Nathaniel said, no longer in the mood to work.

"Alright."

The following morning, Cecilia spotted Queenie arriving with a man whose face was covered in scars.

When the man saw Cecilia, his face was filled with guilt.
