When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1745

Chapter 1745 I Will Not Go To Jail
Queenie was seated on the bed, her face devoid of color. Hearing Cassandra still calling her “mom,” she now only felt a sense of nausea.

“Cassandra, haven't I told you already? I'm no longer your mother.”

Immediately, Cassandra knelt down and crawled toward Queenie's bed. “Mom, no matter what, you're still my mother. You raised me all on your own. They say the kindness of upbringing is greater than anything else, right?”

Queenie scoffed, “The kindness of upbringing is greater than anything else? Do you even have the right to say that? When you tampered with my food and drink, did you ever consider these words or the kindness I showed you?”

Cassandra sobbed, “Mom, I was just young and naive. I truly realize my mistake now and deeply regret it.”

This was hardly a case of genuine remorse. It was clear that she had been backed into a corner and had no choice but to admit her mistakes.

Queenie let out a sigh. “I can forgive you for what you've done to me, given our years of mother-daughter bond. But what you should never have done is harm Ceci! She's my only daughter, and I've spent over twenty years searching for her. It was no easy feat to find her again.”

“I'm so sorry. I was truly blinded by my own ignorance. It won't happen again. From now on, I swear I'll help Cecilia manage the company properly.”

Queenie's eyes were filled with contempt. Are you kidding me? Even at this point, she's actually considering helping to manage the company?

“You don't need to swear. The Jamieson family doesn't need your help managing anything.” Queenie paused for a moment. “Also, I'll make sure you end up in jail. It may not be as severe as life for a life, but don't even dream of getting out anytime soon.”

Cassandra was stunned.

Queenie continued, “No, I'll let you out in forty years.”

Forty years later, Cassandra would be in her sixties or seventies, and that was when she would find it the most difficult to endure.

Cassandra was completely flustered. She quickly grabbed Queenie's hand.

“I don't want to go to jail, Mom. Just let me go. I have a child. What will happen to Dahlia if I die?”

Seeing that, Scorpius was momentarily taken aback.

Before he could even react, Cassandra had already pressed the knife against Queenie's neck.

“Get out, all of you! Or I swear I'll kill her.”

Queenie, however, wasn't scared at all. She said to Scorpius, “It's okay. Don't worry about me!”

Hearing that, Cassandra slashed at Queenie's skin, causing blood to seep out.

Scorpius instantly panicked. “Cassandra, don't act recklessly! Mdm. Queenie is your adoptive mother. You better not repay kindness with enmity!”

“Hahaha, repay kindness with enmity?” Cassandra was on the edge of madness. “She's about to send me to prison. Where is this so-called kindness in that?”
