Queenie felt as if a massive weight was pressing down on her heart.

"All right, let's just go with the flow. We'll spend time together and get to know each other slowly."

Queenie understood that it was only natural for her daughter to struggle with accepting her. After all, they had been separated for many years, and she had done so many things that had hurt her. She was about to say something else when Cecilia's phone rang.

Upon glancing at her phone, Cecilia noticed it was a call from Nathaniel.

"What's wrong?" she asked as she picked up the phone.

When she left, she had already informed Nathaniel.

Upon hearing her voice, Nathaniel felt slightly relieved. "Why haven't you returned yet? Are things okay over there?"

"I'll be back soon. There's nothing to worry about."

Having said that, Cecilia hung up the phone.

She turned to look at Queenie. "If there's nothing else, I'll be heading back now."

Queenie grabbed her again. "Ceci, Magnus told me that you wanted to start your own company and get a job. Would you like to join Jamieson Group? Whatever you want to do, I can arrange it for you." "No, thank you," Cecilia rejected once again before she left.

As she watched Cecilia hastily depart, Queenie felt overwhelmed with distress. Meanwhile Cassandra, standing nearby, felt even more upset.

"Mom, you bought so many things for Cecilia, but she didn't even glance at any of them?

Queenie nodded. "I prepared those gifts a long time ago. For every birthday she had when she was little, I would buy one, hoping that once I found her, I could give them to her."

"Mom, you've been so good to her, but she just doesn't appreciate it. The things that happened before weren't your fault, and you never abandoned her." Cassandra couldn't help but speak ill of Cecilia. "I think she's just never content." "What are you even talking about?" Queenie frowned. "If it wasn't for you pushing me to confront Ceci, would we have grown so distant? If it wasn't for your irrational jealousy, Ceci

and I might have reconciled long ago"

Cassandra felt displeased by her accusations, but she didn't dare show it.

"Mom, I didn't realize she was my sister at that time. Please, don't be upset. It's not good for your health."

Queenie let out a sigh. "Oh, forget it. Let's not dwell on the past. From now on, you need to treat Ceci well and make it up to her." Cassandra nodded. "I will."

She wished nothing more than to get rid of Cecilia, yet she couldn't openly do so.

When Cecilia returned to the Smith residence, Nathaniel was already waiting outside.

As she alighted from the car, Nathaniel quickly approached her. "Why were you gone for so long?"

Nathaniel had rushed back upon receiving her message, fearing that she might have encountered some trouble or danger.

Glancing at the time, Cecilia realized that only two hours had passed.

"It wasn't so long. I simply went out for a meal and chatted a bit about various things."

"

"What things?" Nathaniel asked.

After a moment of hesitation, Cecilia finally confessed that Magnus had asked for a substantial amount of money from Queenie on her behalf.

A few years ago, Magnus had been a rather decent person. But recently, he had started stirring up trouble again.

"Magnus is simply not cut out for running a company," Nathaniel truthfully stated.`

"Right, I know that too. But I'm at a loss about what to do with him."

"Don't worry, leave this matter to me."

Cecilia looked at him quizzically. "What are you going to do about it?"

Nathaniel chuckled. "It's a secret."

A secret?

Cecilia's curiosity began to grow.
