When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him Novel

Chapter 785 A Spam Call

Recently, Queenie had returned to Tudela to negotiate business deals.

Today, Cassandra was having lunch with her. She personally served her food and water. “Mom, have more.”

“Mm,” Queenie responded, feeling comforted.

However, the peaceful moment was abruptly interrupted by the sound of a phone ringing.

Cassandra picked up her phone and saw that it was Paula calling. She pressed decline and put her phone back into her bag, unaware that she had accidentally answered the call instead of hanging up.

Because the phone was now inside her bag, she couldn’t hear Paula speaking.

“Who was it?” Queenie asked. “Why didn’t you answer?”

“Oh, just a spam call, Cassandra replied casually.

Not hearing Cassandra’s response, Paula was about to hang up and call again when she overheard. the conversation between Queenie and Cassandra.

A spam call?

Paula quickly realized that Cassandra had answered the call by mistake.

Curious, she decided to listen in and hear what Cassandra and Queenie talked about.

“Mom, this foie gras is really delicious. I had it specially ordered in advance and flown in.”

“Mm.” Queenie nodded, taking a small bite.

Suddenly remembering something, she asked, “Cassandra, I heard Paula was diagnosed with cancer?”

“Yeah, late–stage cancer. The doctor said she won’t live more than two years,” Cassandra replied bluntly.

Knowing Queenie disliked Paula, she continued, “It’s karma. She stole Dad from you, and now she’s got cancer.”

She had no idea that every word was being heard by Paula on the other end.

Queenie let out a scornful laugh. “Cassandra, you have to understand, Paula didn’t take Ralph away from me. I didn’t want Ralph anymore, got it?”

Back then, Queenie had married Ralph only to appease certain members of the Jamieson family.

Additionally, Ralph had been easy to control, and her feelings were never involved.

Even so, she despised betrayal.

“I misspoke, Mom. A woman like Paula could never compare to you,” Cassandra said, disdainfully taking a bite of her food. “You have no idea how disgusting it feels every time I have to call her ‘Mom‘ in front of others. I just wish she’d hurry up and die!”

Queenie looked at her daughter fondly. “Good girl.”

The two of them continued chatting for a while, but Paula wasn’t listening anymore.

She stood frozen in place, her mind a complete blank. It wasn’t until the caregiver came over to bring her food that she finally snapped back to reality and ended the call.

The caregiver brought in the food. She couldn’t help but sigh upon seeing that she was the only one by Paula’s side.

“Eat something.”

“No, I’m not hungry,” Paula replied.

“You have to cat, even if you don’t feel like it. Your body’s already in bad shape the caregiver gently coaxed.

Paula, for once, didn’t get angry. “I really don’t feel like eating. Just leave it over there.”

Sensing that Paula seemed like a different person today, the caregiver didn’t push further, fearing she might upset her. She quietly placed the meal aside and left.

Meanwhile, after finishing lunch, Cassandra saw Queenie off and finally took her phone out of her bag.

She was about to return Paula’s missed call, wondering what it was about when she noticed that the call she had supposedly missed had actually lasted for six minutes.

Six minutes?

Realizing that Paula might have overheard her conversation with Queenie, Cassandra quickly dialed Paula’s number.

The phone rang for a long time, but there was no answer.

She tried calling again, and after waiting a while, Paula’s voice finally came through.
