When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1554 That Is Not Fair

Finished

Upon hearing Queenie tell Magnus that Cecilia could take up any job she wished at the company, Cassandra was overwhelmed with jealousy.

"Yet, she still won't admit she favors Cecilia more," Cassandra sneered. "Seems like I need to make my move sooner. Otherwise, everything will end up going to Cecilia,"

Inside the office, Magnus couldn't believe how generous Queenie was either.

However, all he wanted then was money.

"Cecilia wants to start her own business, beginning from scratch."

Hearing that, Queenie found it hard to keep objecting. All right, then. Wait for me a moment"

"Okay."

Magnus genuinely hadn't expected that Queenie would be so easily deceived. In no time at all, she had handed over two billion to him.

"If this isn't enough, feel free to come and ask me for more."

"Okay."

A look of unmistakable joy was spread across Magnus' face, and with that, he happily stepped outside.

As soon as he left, Caliste couldn't help but express her concern, "Mdm. Queenie, was it wise to give him all that money? What if he's a fraud?"

Queenie was puzzled. "What do you mean?"

"Ms. Cecilia has never asked you for money. Even when you offered her the black card last time, she didn't accept it. I believe it's her younger brother who wants the money." Caliste had an objective view as an onlooker.

A hint of worry swept through Queenie's eyes. "Maybe Ceci was just too shy to speak to me. How could I possibly reject her the very first time she asks for my help?"

Caliste sighed, choosing not to say anything more.

Queenie reassured her, "Don't worry, this amount of money is not a big deal."

"Okay."

Cecilia was still unaware that Magnus had asked for money under her name.

She had been resting at home for quite a while and, finding herself with nothing to do, she decided to try her hand at composing music.

Her phone rang for quite a while before she finally noticed it. When she picked it up, she saw the caller ID was marked as Cassandra.

Why on earth is she calling me?

Chapter 1954 That is Not Fair

Cecilia answered her phone. "Ms. Evans, what can I do for you?"

Cassandra responded indignantly, "Cecilia, I thought you were a person of integrity, but it turns out you're just like everyone else. If you needed money, why did you ask Mom yourself? Why did you send Magnus instead?" Cecilia was somewhat dazed. When she finally gathered her thoughts, she explained, "I didn't ask Magnus to ask for money."

Cassandra scoffed, "So, was it a ghost that I saw today?"

Cecilia was well aware of Magnus' personality.

"I will talk to him."

"Don't, you better not; otherwise Mom will think I'm stirring up trouble again." With that, Cassandra ended the call.

She simply couldn't help herself. She wanted to give Cecilia a hard time.

Cecilia looked at the disconnected call, then dialed Magnus' number.

Magnus swiftly answered his phone.

"Cecilia, why did you call?"

"Did you go to Queenie for money today?" Cecilia asked straightforwardly.

"Yeah, what's the matter?"noveldrama

"How could you ask her for money? Whatever you took, give it back to her."

Cecilia didn't want to be indebted to anyone.

Magnus, however, didn't seem to mind. "What nonsense are you talking about? She's your biological mother. What's wrong with me asking her for some money?"

Cecilia was taken aback by his words.

"Do you even hear yourself? She's my biological mother. She has nothing to do with you."

"That's not fair," Magnus argued. "The Smith family raised you, so it's only natural for us to ask the Jamieson family for some money. You want me to return it? No way!" With that, he abruptly ended the call. Why should I return the money that I earned through my own efforts?

Cecilia felt a whirlwind of emotions inside her.

She unlocked her phone and searched for Queenie's contact information.
