NovelEnglishChapter 824 An Ingrate
Cassandra immediately beamed with joy. “If you'd agreed earlier, you wouldn't have had to suffer like you just
did.”
With that, she placed the agreement in front of Paula.
Trembling, Paula picked up the pen and signed her name, then pressed her fingerprint on it as well.
After completing everything, she looked at Cassandra, her previous motherly affection gone. “I must have been
blind to care for such an ingrate like you.”
Cassandra wasn’t bothered by Paula’s insults at all.
“Who asked you to care? | never had any feelings for you. It was Queenie who raised me.”
Hearing this, Paula was suddenly reminded of what she once said to Magnus about Cecilia. “She was raised by a
nanny. | don’t have any real feelings for her.”
This is karma...
“Sign the divorce agreement too.” Ralph handed her a document, forcing Paula to leave the marriage with
nothing.

Paula wasn’t foolish. “I won't sign this agreement.”
If she didn’t sign, she could still claim half of their marital assets. If she signed, she'd be left with nothing.
“Will you sign or not?” Ralph raised his hand to strike her.
“Go ahead, try hitting her!”
Suddenly, Cecilia, who had remained silent, spoke up.
Ralph paused, turning to look at Cecilia.
“And who do you think you are? How dare you stop me?”
Cecilia didn’t bother wasting words on the old man. She looked toward the door. “Sven.”
Sven who had been waiting outside, immediately entered when Cecilia called for him.
Seeing Sven, who was younger and larger than himself, Ralph backed down. “Cassandra, let's go.”
“Okay.”
Cassandra took the signed mother-daughter severance agreement and left.
After they were gone, Paula collapsed onto the bed, unable to hold back any longer. Her gaze occasionally
flickered toward Cecilia, her feelings in turmoil.
“Cecilia, have them all leave. | have something to tell you.”
Today, she finally realized who truly cared about her.
Cecilia thought Paula was going to reveal the truth behind her father’s death, so she had the caregiver and Sven
leave first.
Once the door was closed, Cecilia approached Paula and asked, “Regarding my father’s death, what exactly
happened?”
Paula stared deeply at Cecilia before she slowly revealed a heart-wrenching truth.
“You keep calling him your father, but you're not Regas daughter.”
The moment Paula blurted that out, it was as if a weight had lifted from her shoulders.
She had kept this secret for more than half her life.
Cecilia’s mind went blank as she stared at Paula in disbelief. “What are you talking about? How could | not be his
daughter?”

Her eyes were red at the corners, her mind reeling.
Seeing Cecilia like this, Paula felt a pang of guilt for the first time.
But she still didn’t want to apologize and simply added, “You're not Regas’ daughter, nor are you mine. | found
you at the orphanage’s doorstep.”
Cecilia had been trying to uncover the truth about her father’s death, but instead, she heard this earth-
shattering revelation.
Forcing herself to remain calm, she replied, “Impossible. | did a DNA test back then. You're my biological
mother.”
Hearing this, Paula felt even more guilty.
“I know you secretly did a DNA test. | altered the results. If you don’t believe me, you can do another one now.”
Cecilia had been in middle school when she secretly did the DNA test.
Paula had easily noticed something was off with her behavior and discovered what she had done.
Cecilia clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms.
If everything Paula said was true, then Paula had been unbelievably cruel. For over twenty years, she had used «
the bond of motherhood to guilt-trip Cecilia.
