SWNOVELS Chapter 788
Chapter 788 Current State
Following the real–time location shared by the caregiver, Cecilia drove over.
Fearing any unexpected incidents, she had Sven accompany her.
It wasn’t long before they arrived at the approximate location. From a distance, Cecilia spotted Paula wearing a hospital gown, her hair disheveled. There was no trace left of her once refined, upper–class demeanor.
Paula had grown alarmingly thin.
Cecilia glanced around. They were in front of a branch of Jamieson Group.
What is Paula doing here?
She didn’t inform the caregiver of her arrival. Instead, she temporarily disabled her phone’s mobile data, making it impossible for the caregiver to track her.
Then, Cecilia stepped out of her car and found a hidden spot to observe.
After reaching Jamieson Group’s branch company, Paula tried to enter but was stopped by security.
She shouted, “Tell Queenie to come out and see me!”
The security guard frowned at her audacity to call out their CEO by name. “Who do you think. you are, demanding to see Mdm. Queenie? Get lost!”
Despite her physical pain, Paula sat stubbornly at the company’s entrance.
“Tell Queenie I’m Paula Escobar. Once she hears my name, she will definitely come out to see me.”
The guarde didn’t bother relaying the message.
“Get lost, or I’ll have you thrown out!” one of them warned.
The caregiver tried to pull Paula back. “Mdm. Paula, please, stop this. Why are you here causing trouble?”
Soon, more security guards arrived.
The caregiver grew nervous, but Paula wasn’t afraid at all.
“You can lay hands on me if you want, but let me tell you this–I have late stage cancer. If you’re not afraid of jail, go ahead.”
Upon hearing this, the security guards each hesitated to step forward.
“Call out your CEO. I’m here to bring her some good news.”
Paula’s words piqued the curiosity of onlookers, including some employees inside the company who had started watching the scene unfold.
Queenie hadn’t yet arrived at the office.
She was with Cassandra who came with her to inspect the branch together.
Queenie was also mentoring her on how to manage the company, planning to temporarily hand. over the branch’s operations to Cassandra.
Cassandra was particularly eager about this, but she never imagined her biological mother would ruin everything.
When their car pulled up to the branch’s entrance, Cassandra immediately spotted Paula from a distance.
Her heart raced, and it felt as if her pulse had stopped for a moment.
Sitting beside her, Queenie was equally puzzled upon seeing Paula. “What is she doing here?”
“Mom, I’m not feeling well today. Should we head back first?”
“Not feeling well? I’ll have the driver take you to the hospital,” Queenie replied. “I have a lot of work to handle today, so I can’t go with you.”
With that, the driver got out of the car and opened the door.
Queenie stepped out.
Cassandra was unable to stop her.
Paula saw Queenie get out of the car, along with Cassandra.
As soon as Cassandra got out, she frantically shot Paula warning looks.
Paula had come all this way and had no intention of leaving so easily.
“Cassandra, didn’t you say you weren’t feeling well?” Queenie asked, looking back at Cassandra.
“I feel much better now. It was probably just a bit of carsickness carlier, Cassandra lied.
Queenie sensed that something was amiss but didn’t press further. Instead, she turned to the security guard. “What’s going on here?”
The guard pointed to Paula. “Mdm. Queenie, this woman insists on seeing you.”
Queenie had no patience for women like Paula. Paula had been involved with a married man shortly after her own husband’s death and even gave her late husband’s money to another man.
She didn’t even spare Paula a glance and coldly asked, “What do you want?”
Paula clenched her fists. All the grievances she had bottled up burst forth, fueled by the paltry
