When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him Novel

Chapter 1001 Take Good Care Of Yourself

In just two weeks, Paula had transformed into a completely different person.

She was so thin and frail that there wasn’t an ounce of fat on her body. She even required the assistance of a caregiver to walk, and every action she took seemed to be an immense struggle.

Some members of the media had managed to slip in, and they were shocked to see Paula in such a state, having lost all her former grace and charm.

Paula would never have made an appearance if not to express her grievance. She looked at the jury with her sunken eyes before turning to her daughter, Cassandra.

Cassandra met her gaze, devoid of any sympathy. Her eyes held only disdain and shock.

“What is Paula doing here?” she asked her assistant.

The assistant shook her head. “I have no idea.”

“You’re so useless!”

Paula quickly shifted her gaze, gradually settling on Cecilia’s face.

Cecilia remained as tranquil as ever, her eyes devoid of any emotion.

Paula, however, was in deep agony.

Had she not repeatedly hurt Cecilia, perhaps Cecilia wouldn’t have behaved in such a distant manner.

Sven passed by Paula, making his way toward Cecilia. “Two groups of people started fighting while I was there, so I brought Paula and the caregiver into the car

“All right, thanks,” said Cecilia.

Sven sat down.

The trial began swiftly.

Paula intended to file for divorce and sought to split their marital assets equally.

She also presented evidence of Ralph’s infidelity, which occurred while she had recently been hospitalized.

Just as Ralph fervently denied all the accusations, a lawyer from Orion Corporation unexpectedly appeared as a witness, leading to Ralph’s devastating defeat.

The judge decreed the divorce on the spot, ordering Ralph to divide half of his wealth with Paula.

After the court hearing concluded, Cassandra was completely stunned.

As soon as she left, she immediately called Nicholas. “Nicholas, why would the chief legal advisor of Orion Corporation assist Paula in the lawsuit?”

Nicholas, already aware of the outcome, sat in his office chair, gazing at the tall buildings outside his window. “Cassandra, Paula is your biological mother, isn’t she?”

A sense of tension gripped Cassandra’s heart. “What? You must be mistaken. I’m just an orphan, taken in by my foster mother, Queenie.”

“I have a copy of your parental identification test right here. Paula is indeed your biological mother. That’s why I helped her.” Nicholas pretended it was all for Cassandra’s sake.

His remark left Cassandra speechless.

After hanging up the phone, she rushed to Paula the moment she arrived. “Mom, why have you become so frail?”

Paula now possessed half of the Evans family’s wealth.

Paula had already come to understand the true nature of her heartless biological daughter. “Who are you calling ‘Mom‘? Didn’t we sever our relationship a long time ago?”

“Mom.” Cassandra’s expression quickly shifted. “We share the same blood. I’m your child. I admit I’ve

How made some mistakes, but you can’t hold a grudge over such minor faults. I swear, from now on, I’ll treat you well.”

As Cecilia emerged, she was met with this bizarre encounter.

Part of her wanted to play the recording from the day before, letting everyone hear the truth, but after a moment of reflection, she decided against it.

Just as she was about to leave with Sven, Paula suddenly called out to her. “Ceci.”

Cecilia paused, turning back. “Yes, Mdm. Paula?”

Paula’s hand trembled slightly at the way she addressed her.

“N–Nothing, really. The weather’s been getting colder lately. Take good care of yourself and the children,” Paula said slowly.
