Chapter 441 Her Biological Mother

After the engagement party began, Cassandra werft on stage to thank her family. When she spoke about her

mother, Paula perked up.

Paula was just about to step forward when Cecilia, in a gesture of kindness, stopped her.

“The Rainsworth family invited her biological mother, Queenie Jamieson.”

Having helped organize the engagement party, Cecilia was well aware of the proceedings.

Paula’s expression changed instantly when she heard that.

Just yesterday, Cassandra had personally told her that Queenie wouldn't be attending and that Paula would be

the one standing in the spotlight as her mother.

Paula thought Cecilia was deceiving her, but then she saw Queenie, appear before the crowd, walking toward

Cassandra.

Short-haired and clad in a uniform, Queenie wasn't particularly beautiful, but she exuded a sharp, capable air

that a pampered woman like Paula could never possess.

Queenie was somewhat well-known internationally, and as soon as she appeared, Cassandra's eyes filled with

admiration and pride.

Compared to the perfunctory attitude she showed toward Elena, Cassandra regarded Queenie as her one true

mother.

“Mom, | knew you'd come,” Cassandra said as she hugged her.

On stage, the mother and daughter displayed a deep affection, while offstage, Paula's face turned particularly

sour, having just told everyone that Cassandra was her daughter.

The whispers in the crowd began.

“Isn't Cassandra's father Ralph? So isn’t Paula her mother?”

“Yeah, she just told us Cassandra is her daughter”

“You know nothing. Paula is Cassandra’s stepmother. Cassandra calls her ‘mom’ out of respect for her father. Did

you really think Paula is her biological mother?”

“What should we do? We just gave all the gifts meant for Cassandra’s mother to Paula. Should we take them

back now?”

“Of course we should! Paula isn’t Cassandra’s real mom. We need to curry favor with Cassandra, not her

stepmother.”

The murmurs from the crowd only added to Paula’s humiliation.

Cecilia stood beside her, observing her discomfort, and couldn't help but feel a bit of sympathy.

She asked. “If | hadn't been born with hearing issues, would you have treatedthe sway you treat

Cassandrar”

Paula snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Cecilia with a complicated expression.

The truth was, Paula hadi adimit that Cecilia had always been exceptional-no less capabilitetin Cassandra. If it

weren't for her, Cecil wouldn't be in her current position.

More importantly, Cecilia had always been so filial and considerate. When she was little, she would constantly try

to make Paula smile and proudly tell all her classmates that Paula was her mother.

Unlike Cassandra, who only played along on the surface but had already made arrangements for her biological

mother.

But...

Paula clenched her fists. “You and Cassandra are simply incomparable.

Cecilia thought she had long becnumb the pain, but hearing that still hurt, like a cold wind piercing her

chest.

After Paula finished speaking, she saw Cassandinoming down from the stage and immediately rushed over to ask

for an explanation.

Cecilia watched from afar as Paula stood beside Cassandra, the two of them looking more like a mother and

daughter than Queenie and Cassandraadid

She turned back, carefully tucking away Paula’s hair thur she had taken earlier, and rejoined the party.

After only a few steps, Magnus blocked her path. “Cecilia, have you figured out how to get the Smith family’s

money back?”

Cecilia couldn’t believe he had the audacity to ask. so shenerated, “Do you think people will jus return the

money after you've given it to them?”

She had recently handed over the task of investigating Magnus past foolish nations to Norman.

She was still waiting for an update from him.
