Chapter 891 A Compromise
“Ms. Smith, I’ve come to understand the whole situation. Cassandra is at fault. She shouldn’t have casually posted those comments online..” Queenie began with an apology, then continued, “She’s aware of her repeat such a mistake. I kindly ask for your understanding and forgiveness.”
mistake. You two are not only sist ut also blood sisters. She has promised me that she will never
Queenie was unaware of the fact that Paula was not Cecilia’s biological mother.
The reason she reached out to Cecilia was because her sister had informed her that there was someone backing Cecilia in this incident.
It would be best if they could settle the matter privately.
Meanwhile, Cecilia had not expected that Queenie would choose to compromise.
“So, what exactly do you mean, Mdm. Queenie?”
“I just hope you won’t pursue this any further. As for your loss, I will compensate you,” said Queenie.
Cecilia was well aware that mere public opinion wasn’t enough to crush Cassandra, especially when the powerful Jamieson family was backing her.
Moreover, if the situation were to escalate, it could potentially impact the Rainsworth family.
She was already in Nicholas‘ debt and didn’t want to cause him any more trouble.
As for her and Cassandra, there would be plenty of time in the future to settle the score.
“In that case, could you have Cassandra apologize to me, Mdm. Queenie? Then, I’ll consider it a simple misunderstanding.”
Queenie hadn’t expected Cecilia to read the situation so well, so she agreed.
However, Cassandra refused to do so. “Mom, why are you insisting that I publicly apologize? I’ve already said that it was a misunderstanding.”
“Whether it’s a misunderstanding, you can believe whatever you want. Do you know that due to this incident of yours, your aunt’s company nearly couldn’t handle the controversy surrounding its two stars?” Queenie said, her tone growing stern.
Detecting her displeasure, Cassandra had to choice but to apologize publicly.
After she did so, Cecilia expressed her forgiveness.
The controversy thus faded from the public eye,
As expected, Cecilia naturally became the winner of the song competition, gaining even more fame than anticipated.
In retrospect, it was all thanks to Cassandra. Had she not sought to inflate the trending searches and traffic, Cecilia wouldn’t have gained such a sudden surge of followers, let alone become known by a large portion of the domestic population.
“I can’t believe that my plan backfired.”
“Ms. Evans, you’re pregnant. It’s not good for you to get too worked up,” the assistant hurriedly comforted.
Cassandra gently caressed her lower abdomen, nodding in agreement.
Just a while ago, Nicholas had called her. Although he didn’t reprimand her, he pleaded for her not to stir up any more trouble.
After the incident, she felt too embarrassed to bring up the topic of marriage with Nicholas again.
It was uncertain when the two of them would finally get married. This was despite her having already arranged everything, even the wedding dress.
At night, when Lucille returned, she looked at Cecilia with an expression of pure admiration. “Cecilia, I can’t believe you’re also a composer. You’re incredibly talented,” she said.
In truth, she was genuinely worried at first that Cecilia might have plagiarized, so she anxiously called Mason to help.
Cecilia’s eyes glistened in amusement. “It’s no big deal.”
“Do you know? When I saw the trending topics yesterday, I was really worried. However, when Mason told me not to interfere, I gave him a piece of my mind and told him to inform Nathaniel,” Lucille replied.
Cecilia was puzzled. “Has Mason known about this all along? And he even told Nathaniel?”
Can the person who helped me be Nathaniel?
“That’s right.”
Not long after Lucille responded, Cecilia received a message from Charlotte: Boss, when did you get to know someone from Imminence Corporation?
Looking bewildered, Cecilia stepped outside to answer the phone.
“It was the PR team of Imminence Corporation who helped you out,” Charlotte stated.
Cecilia couldn’t help but express her confusion. “I don’t actually know the owner of this company.”
She had also heard that Imminence Corporation had acquired Ralph’s company.
