When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1116 An Unexpected Ally

“Young people can be somewhat thoughtless in their actions. Mdm. Queenie, I would like to apologize to you and your daughter on behalf of my daughter–in–law. As for kneeling, let’s forget about it. We’re all family here. Besides, my daughter–in–law is pregnant.” This was the first time Elena had spoken so gently to a woman of the same age.

Queenie was nonetheless swayed by Elena’s intervention on Cecilia’s behalf and her apology. Her mood visibly lightened.

Elena once again addressed Cecilia, “Quick, offer another apology to Ms. Cassina. Mdm. Queenie is a magnanimous woman. She won’t fuss over a misunderstanding with a naive girl like you.”

Compared to the domineering Cecilia, Elena was more tactful and diplomatic.

Cecilia was as apologetic as she could be. “Ms. Cassina, I’m sorry. There must be some misunderstanding here, I deeply regret this.”

At this point, Queenie and Cassina found it inappropriate to push it any further. If they persisted, it would only show their lack of magnanimity.

Moreover, Queenie had picked up on some clues earlier. Perhaps Cecilia truly hadn’t been giving her own daughter a hard time. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have dared to confront Cassina.

“Alright, you can go back to work now. I still have things to discuss with Mdm. Queenie.”

“Understood.”

Cecilia turned and walked away.

She felt relieved that she had called Elena before heading to the CEO’s office. Otherwise, it would have definitely been challenging for her to come out unscathed.

Cassandra could only watch as Cecilia retreated, her heart filled with an intense sense of indignance. Yet, there was nothing she could do about it.

If it wasn’t for the two b*stards in Cecilia’s belly, Elena would certainly not have spoken up for Cecilia.

“Cassandra, why don’t you show your sister around the company? Your mother and I have some catching up to do,” Elena suggested.

Cassandra responded with a forced smile before rising to her feet. “Alright.”

With that, she left with Cassina.

Feeling slightly embarrassed, Cassina trailed behind her. “Cassandra, I can’t thank you enough for standing up for me today.”

Cassandra rolled her eyes, then said, “It’s nothing. But you need to remember to rely more on yourself in the future. People are already walking all over you. How can you be so timid?”

“Alright.” Cassina nodded repeatedly, increasingly convinced that Cassandra was a good person.

Thus, she wasn’t wary of the latter at all.

“By the way, have you been in touch with your foster mother recently?” Cassandra suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Cassina couldn’t help but frown. “I called her, but she didn’t pick up. I have no idea. what’s going on.”

Cassandra advised her, “Perhaps it’s because you’ve returned to the Jamieson family and she can’t accept it. Give her some time to calm down. Maybe next month, or after some time has passed, you can try reaching out to her again.”

Cassina nodded.

Not long after Cecilia returned to her office, she received a message from Elena: I’ve handed over the Jamieson family project to someone else. From now on, you can focus on other work.

Elena, being a seasoned veteran, knew that Cecilia was being wrongfully accused.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Moreover, assigning such an important task to Cecilia, who hadn’t been with the company for very long, was somewhat suspicious.

Cecilia replied: Thank you.

Elena: Don’t worry about it. If anything like this happens again in the future, don’t hesitate to tell me.

Upon reading Elena’s response, Cecilia felt a genuine sense of gratitude.

She carried on with her work and before long, Miranda came over.

“Ceci, I heard you’ve recently secured a few international projects? I’ve always been in charge of the overseas operations, so Aaron wants you to hand over all the projects to me.”

Her greed is truly insatiable.

Cecilia pretended to mind. “I worked so hard to secure them, and you’re taking them away just like that? That’s hardly fair, isn’t it?”

“Why are you expecting fairness when you’re working for my husband?” Miranda said sarcastically.
