Chapter 1045 I Will Collaborate With You
“You guys must find her before Queenie does this time. Once you’ve located her, figure out a way to obtain her biological samples.
Cassandra had initially planned to conduct a paternity test. If Cassina wasn’t Queenie’s daughter, everything would be fine. But if she was, Cassandra had no intention of showing her any mercy.
“Yes, Ms. Evans,” the assistant acknowledged.
Only after that did Cassandra hang up the phone, continuing her rest.
Cecilia drove back home after work.
She didn’t immediately return to Daltonia Villa, but instead drove to the fimeral home Magnus mentioned. Preparations for Paula’s funeral were already underway there.
For a long time, Cecilia stood outside, staring at Paula’s photo from afar. She wasn’t sure how much time had passed before she finally got in her car and drove away.
When she returned home, Vivian approached her. “How’s work?”
“It was fine,” Cecilia replied. “I’ve already finished all the work for the next few days. I’ll be staying at home.”
“That’s great! We can bake cupcakes together and even binge–watch shows,” Vivian said excitedly.
Cecilia nodded.
The two children also emerged from the room.
“You two finally decided to show up,” Vivian complained to Cecilia. “They’ve been hiding in their room all day. Who knows what they’ve been up to.”
Jonathan furrowed her brows, “What, do you want us to watch Keprarian dramas with you?”
Vivian was re speechless. I have to give it to this brat.
Cecilia watched their playful banter, a rare smile gracing her features.
“All right, you boys go play with each other. We adults will hang out ourselves,” she urged.
That finally shut the boys up.
Vivian pulled Cecilia toward the couch. “Let’s watch some TV. Once Lucille returns, we’ll have dinner.”
“All right.”
Inside the house, the atmosphere was warm and lively a stark contrast to the tense mood outside. Cecilia and Vivian sat together watching TV, awaiting Lucille’s return. When she finally arrived, the three women and the two children gathered around the table to share a meal.
At night, when it was time for Cecilia to go to bed, she received a message from the WhatsApp group with the other mothers.
Helen: I heard from Terry that Jon took a few days off. Is heck? Is everything okay?Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Cecilla quickly typed: He’s fine. He took leave because his grandmother passed away.
In the eyes of the public, Paula was still the children’s grandmother.
Helen: I sec. My condolences.
The other mothers also began expressing their condolences.
Cecilia responded to every one of them.
She received another message from Meredith: I just found out today about Aubree’s breach of contract. I’m truly sorry. She really has no respect for me!
Meredith was talking about Hardy Group and Orion Corporation’s previous collaboration which was disrupted by Imminence Corporation, leading to Aubree breaching the contract. As a result, the project was handed over to Cecilia.
Cecilia knew that this had nothing to do with Meredith and Aubree. She replied: Meredith, it’s not Ms. Hardy’s fault. She told me Imminence Corporation offered a lower price. She was just considering the company’s development.
Meredith: Don’t explain on her behalf. From now on, I won’t turn to her for anything.
Meredith was genuinely disappointed in Aubree. She had made it clear to Aubree that Cecilia was a friend, yet Aubree still went back on her word. If it had been Meredith, she would have honored her promise, even if it meant taking a loss, and never would have put Cecilia in such a difficult position.
She then asked Cecilia: Ceci, how did you end up as a secretary at Orion Corporation? If you’re in need of a job, you should come to our company. I can arrange for you to be the general manager.
Cecilia smiled and typed: I was thinking of starting from the grassroots level.
The two chatted for quite a while, and when Meredith found out that Cecilia had become a manager in the sales department, she said generously: I’ll collaborate with you.
