SWNOVELS Chapter 885
Chapter 885 Brace Yourself For A Scandal
Paula didn’t show any mercy. “If you don’t have the money, go to Queenie. the Jamieson family has plenty of it. By noon today, if I don’t see five billion, brace yourself for a scandal. I bet the news of a famous dancer abandoning her mother will shoot straight to the top of the trending list. Also, the law doesn’t recognize any severance of mother–daughter relationships.”
Cassandra never expected that her once submissive mother, Paula, would suddenly turn so ruthless.
“Mom, no matter what, I’m still your biological daughter,” Cassandra pleaded.
“All I care about now is money. No biological child is better than money,” Paula replied coldly.
“But…”
“Enough talk! By noon, I want the money!”
With that, Paula hung up.
She lay down, feeling utterly exhausted.
The caregiver, who had been by her side all along, said, “You’ve finally seen people for who they really are.”
Paula sighed deeply. “Yes. At least I figured it out before I died.”
She knew how badly she’d erred in the past, but nothing could undo her mistakes. Regas was dead, and now Cecilia only felt hatred toward her.
As for Magnus, he had been spoiled by her since childhood.
Lately, Paula spent her nights wondering, if she had stayed faithful to Regas and hadn’t gotten involved with Ralph, would things have turned out differently?
Regas wouldn’t have died in that car accident.
Cecilia wouldn’t despise her.
Magnus would have someone to guide him.
And she would still have her two adorable grandchildren…
However, all of that was just wishful thinking.
After resting for a bit, Paula picked up her phone again and called various major news outlets.
“I have an exposé about the famous dancer Cassandra Evans. After noon today, I’ll release it.”
Whether Cassandra gave her the money or not, Paula was determined to expose her.
She wasn’t the type to suffer in silence for anyone.
She had sacrificed too much for Cassandra, and now it was time for Cassandra to face the consequences.
Meanwhile, Cecilia had initially planned to release the news early in the morning, but after considering
She wanted to see what Paula was really up to.
Online, the news was escalating, and many people flooded Cecilia’s comment sections, demanding her songs be removed and insisting she never show her face at any music festival again.
Cecilia remained silent.
At the same time, she noticed that some of the trending topics were slowly disappearing.
“Boss, someone is helping to remove,the trending topics.”
At Orion Corporation’s headquarters, Nicholas had delegated the task to his subordinates. Not long after, one of them returned with an update.
“Mr. Nicholas, it’s strange. The trending topics have been taken down.”
“They have?” Nicholas was puzzled.
He checked the online trends. It would have taken a significant amount of money and power to have them all removed.
The secretary added, “I looked into it. It seems the PR department of Imminence Corporation ordered the media to remove the stories.”
Since its arrival in Tudela, Imminence Corporation had always been shrouded in mystery. To this day, Nicholas had no idea who was behind it.
Now, he was even more surprised that Imminence Corporation’s PR department would step in to help Cecilia.
Could Cecilia have connections with the senior management of Imminence Corporation?
“Understood. Leave it be.”
“Got it.”
After the secretary left, Nicholas opened up Imminence

files once again.
Meanwhile, Cassandra was in a panic. There was no way she could gather five billion so
Desperate, she went to Queenie.
quickly.
“Five billion?” Queenie frowned. “Why do you suddenly need th much money?”
Cassandra told her everything about how Paula was blackmailing her.
Thinking it was no big deal, Queenie scoffed. “You don’t need to be afraid of her. Even if she wants to go public, it all depends on whether the media dares to publish it.”
