When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1378 News Of Cassina

Cassandra's typically assertive demeanor was noticeably tamed. "Understood, Mom," she responded.

Elena still felt it wasn't enough. "I'm heading to the Jamieson residence right now. Come out and meet me!"

"Okay."

Deep down, Cassandra still harbored some apprehension toward her mother-in-law.

Subsequently, Elena made a call to Queenie.

Queenie pretended it was just a misunderstanding, informing Elena that it was merely an unfortunate accident caused by her subordinates that had resulted in Elliot's injury.

Elena was having none of it. "Mdm. Queenie, neither of us are fools, so let's cut the cr*p. You better keep Cassandra in line, or someone else will do it for you!"

After she finished speaking, she ended the call.

After venting her anger, Elena still felt uneasy. The two obedient and intelligent grandsons she had painstakingly raised could be lost because of Cassandra. If that were to happen, she would have no choice but to end the latter's life. Upon Elena's arrival at Sinclair Manor, Cassandra came out to receive her.

Elena stepped out of the car and walked toward the latter.

"Mom," Cassandra greeted, a touch of unease in her voice.

However, she was certain that Elena wouldn't dare harm her due to the fact that she was pregnant.

"How many months along are you?" Elena asked.

Cassandra paused for a moment, then responded with a smile, "It's probably been over five months now."

"It's only been five months, and she thinks she has already won," Elena muttered to herself. Subsequently, she raised her hand and slapped Cassandra across the face.

The impact carried all the strength Elena could muster.

Cassandra's face turned beet red in an instant, clutching her cheek in pain. "Mom, how could you slap me? I'm pregnant, you know."

"I'm surprised that you still remember that you're pregnant. You are on the verge of motherhood, yet how could you be so harsh to Eli? You are going to be a mother someday too!" Elena reprimanded.

Upon hearing this, Cassandra didn't feel she was at fault. She lifted her hand, which had been bitten by the children the day before. "Mom, look, it was Jon and Eli who bit me first!"

"You're still making excuses! Eli

already told me that it was you who

started the fight, and they merely retaliated," Elena retorted. "He also said that if I don't believe him, I can check!"

Cassandra immediately fell silent.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

It was true that she was the one who started it.

"In the future, if such a situation arises again, don't blame me for being heartless."

With that, Elena got into the car.

Cassandra covered her cheek, seething with anger.

"How dare that brat tattle!"

At that moment, Stella approached. "Ms. Evans, are you alright?"

"My face is all red from the slap, how can I possibly be okay?" Cassandra retorted vehemently.

Stella couldn't help but take a step back, cautiously saying, "Elena is clearly showing favoritism. You're a daughter-in-law of the Rainsworth family, just like Cecilia, and the child you're carrying is her grandchild too. How could she hit you just for the sake of Elliot?"

"Once the old witch grows old and my child is born, I'll definitely show her!" Cassandra clenched her fists.

"Should I inform Mr. Nicholas about this matter?" Stella asked.

Cassandra hesitated, as she knew that Nicholas still held feelings for the despicable Cecilia. Thus, she was uncertain if Nicholas would help her. "Let's just forget it."

Despite her remark, she just couldn't take it lying down.

Meanwhile, Cecilia stayed by Elliot's side day and night, only allowing herself to rest once she was sure Elliot's condition had stabilized. After she had rested well, she began to ponder over what Elliot had told her.

Queenie has already discovered that Stella is not her biological daughter, so why didn't she send her away? Why did she choose to let Stella stay? Can there be another reason behind this?

At that moment, Sven's phone call came through.

"We've found out where Cassina is being held."

Previously, Cecilia had many questions that he wanted to ask Cassina, so she had Sven investigate the latter's location.
