When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1698 Discharge From The Hospital

"Cassandra, can you handle the discharge procedures for me?" Queenie asked, her weak voice steady with

intent.

After raising Cassandra for so many years, even if she wasn't her biological child, Queenie had developed genuine affection for her. Now, she wanted to see if Cassandra was truly heartless.

Cassandra's expression shifted instantly, a flicker of surprise before she quickly masked it with enthusiasm. "All right, I'll take care of it right away."noveldrama

As she turned to leave, she shot a smug glance at Caliste.

"Ms. Newton, I assure you, I care about Mom's health far more than you do. Once she's home with me, I'm confident her recovery will be much faster."

Caliste's face darkened slightly as she watched Cassandra leave, her head held high with self-satisfaction.

After the door closed, Caliste turned to Queenie, her voice filled with quiet urgency. "Mdm. Queenie, you can't go back."

She had this feeling that something bad might happen if Queenie returned home.

Despite Queenie receiving consistent care from top doctors and undergoing regular check-ups, her condition had recently and unexpectedly worsened. The doctors speculated that the issue might stem from her diet, raising inevitable doubts and concerns.

Queenie noticed Caliste's worry and gently patted her hand. "If I don't get to the bottom of this, I won't be at peace."

"But you can't risk your health just to test her," Caliste said, her gaze filled with

concern.

Queenie smiled faintly, a mix of resignation and determination in her gaze. "It's fine. If she really does something, then it just proves that all the years I've spent raising her were in vain."

Cassandra wasted no time arranging Queenie's discharge, promptly taking her home. However, on the first night, she held back, hesitant to act too soon. She decided to wait a few days before making her move.

At Jamieson Group, ever since Cecilia assumed leadership, the company had returned to a sense of order and stability. The employees were full of praise, openly expressing their relief and admiration.

"Thank goodness Cecilia became the CEO instead of Cassandra. Now we can actually focus on our work," one employee remarked.

"Exactly. If it were Cassandra, our bonuses would've disappeared by now. Plus, with that arrogant attitude of hers, it's like she thinks the whole world owes her something"

"The new CEO is so friendly and approachable. She even joined us for a meal in the cafeteria once. She's not just beautiful but also so down-to-earth," another added enthusiastically.

As Cassandra entered the building, she caught snippets of their conversation.

She stepped forward, and the employees instantly shut up.

With a chilling gaze, she demanded, "Summon the HR manager immediately and have them fired-every :☐☐ ☐☐☐☐ 00 00 000 ”

She couldn't tolerate their defiance.

One of the employees mustered the courage to speak up. "Ms. Cassandra, we've dedicated five to six years to this company. You can't just fire us without proper justification."

Cassandra let out a derisive laugh. "Justification? In this company, I hold the authority to fire anyone I see fit!"

The employees' faces turned grim, their frustration barely concealed.

One of them stepped forward. "Fine then. If you're going to fire us without cause, you're obligated to compensate us according to labor laws."

Mockery danced in Cassandra's eyes as she sneered. "Labor laws? Don't make me laugh. You're only after compensation, aren't you? Well, there won't be a single penny for any of you!"

Just as she finished speaking, the HR manager arrived, his face showing hesitation.

Cassandra turned sharply, pointing at the group of employees. "These people were idly chatting during work hours. Fire them immediately and escort them out of the building. And don't let them demand any compensation!"

The HR manager hesitated briefly, clearly uncomfortable with her domineering attitude. But under Cassandra's unyielding glare, he had no choice but to nod and comply. "Understood, Ms. Cassandra," he said reluctantly.

When Cassandra left, she didn't forget to issue a stern warning to the HR manager. "Remember, no compensation whatsoever. If I find out you've secretly given them anything, you can pack your things and leave too!"

While Cassandra might have struggled to confront Cecilia, dealing with a few gossiping employees was child's play for her-or so she thought.

Accustomed to throwing her weight around, Cassandra never stopped to consider that her oppressive methods might not sit well with the younger, more vocal generation of today.

By that evening, the incident had exploded online, climbing rapidly to the trending topics.
