Chapter Doll 1332
Chapter 1332 Foster The Bond
Cassina made up her mind that she would secure her footing in the Jamieson family. She knew she needed to build her own influence before she could eliminate Cassandra. Cassandra had never imagined that such an ordinary woman could harbor such cunning intentions.
After she had fallen out of favor with Queenie, Cassandra had no choice but to return to the Rainsworth residence.
Nicholas rarely returned to the Rainswroth residence, choosing to stay at the company every day instead. At home, it was just her and Elena.
Elena spent her time either visiting her two grandsons at the preschool or socializing with various high-society ladies, indulging in self-care. She essentially paid no attention to Cassandra. Alone at home, Cassandra was stewing in her loser's frustration.
Miranda approached and said, "Cassandra, it's clear that you're showing now. Has Nicholas not been around lately to keep you company?" Cassandra was filled with anger. "No. Every time I asked him to come home, he would always use working overtime as an excuse."
Upon hearing that, Miranda couldn't help but add fuel to the fire, saying, "You know that Cecilia has recently started a company, right?" "How could I not know? She somehow managed to acquire Evans Group without my knowledge." Cassandra clenched her fists. "Where did she get her capital from?" Miranda feigned confusion.
In fact, she had managed to grasp a few things.
"It's all thanks to Nathaniel and Elena," she said.
Cassandra didn't believe Cecilia was that capable.
Previously, Miranda was worried that Cecilia wouldn't be able to stand up to Cassandra. However, to her surprise, after several encounters, it was Cassandra who ended up suffering setbacks. Miranda was at ease then, eagerly anticipating the clash between the two. It's even better if they fight to the death.
"You are also a daughter-in-law of the Rainsworth family. You're Elena's daughter-in-law as well. The child you're carrying is also a descendant of the Rainsworth family. How could Elena be so partial?" Miranda said. Cassandra was already in a bad mood, and hearing what Miranda had said only made her more displeased.
She changed the subject, asking, "How's Adrian doing?"
Whenever Adrian was mentioned, the expression on Miranda's face would become incredibly unpleasant.
"How else could he be doing? He's half-paralyzed." Miranda never expected it to be this severe. Nathaniel was ruthless. After all, Adrian was his cousin.
Seeing her in a state even more miserable than her own, Cassandra felt significantly relieved.
"Are you really just going to let it go?" Cassandra asked.
"Of course not, but I don't really have a good solution right now." Miranda sighed.
At that moment, her phone started ringing.
Upon picking it up, Miranda saw that it was a call from Felix's teacher. "What's the matter?"
"Ms. Miranda, the school is hosting a parent-child activity this afternoon. It seems Felix hasn't informed you, so I thought I should let you know. Are you available to attend?" the teacher asked gently. en FindNovel
The thought of her current position in the parents' association made Miranda frown. "I'm busy.
She then ended the call.
"What's wrong?" Cassandra asked.
Miranda told her about the upcoming parent-child activity.
"Will Cecilia be going as well?" Cassandra asked. "She's nearly due to give birth. Can she even participate in an activity like that?"
Both individuals wanted the other to go stir up trouble with Cecilia and then sit back and watch the ensuing conflict unfold. Miranda quickly grasped her meaning.
She feigned distress and responded, "Parent-child activities were always something Adrian and I attended together. Now that Adrian is in the hospital, I just don't have the heart for it."
With that, she asked Cassandra, "Cassandra, would you and Nicholas mind going in my place?"
Cassandra was about to decline, but Miranda interjected, "You haven't spent much time with Nicholas recently, have you? I'll call him later and ask him to spare some time. It could help foster the bond between you two, don't you think?"
Upon hearing those words, Cassandra didn't give it much thought and immediately agreed.
Afterward, Miranda was persuading Nicholas earnestly.
Upon learning that Cecilia would also be there, Nicholas agreed to go.
An hour later, Cassandra and Nicholas were seated in the car, heading toward the international preschool together.
