Chapter 980 Suing Ralph "Hey, Cecilia. I've already filed a lawsuit against Cassandra," Magnus announced excitedly over the phone. Cecilia had never forgotten about this.
In the past, she had wanted to sue the Evans family herself and reclaim all the money that belonged to the Smiths.
However, she was not the real daughter of the Smith family. If the Evans household were to find out about it, the will she held would be deemed invalid.
After all, they had always believed she was his biological child.
"That's good to know. I'll provide you with all the evidence I have,” replied Cecilia. "The rest depends on you." All she could do now was to repay Regas' kindness for raising her by helping Magnus reclaim what was rightfully his.
"Alright. You're the best." Magnus genuinely hadn't expected her to be so understanding. Not only was she willing to let him sue Cecilia, but she had also agreed to let him have all the money, on top of offering to provide evidence.

"Don't worry about me." Then, Magnus couldn't help but ask, "Has Mom been in touch with you lately?" Cecilia's face fell slightly upon Paula's nbeing mentioned. "No. Why?" "Nothing. I was just asking. She calledyesterday, insisting that I respect you from now on. She also said a lot of weird things." Leaning back in his chair with his legs propped up on the office desk, Magnus recalled how everything Paula had said to him the day before was all in defense of Cecilia.
He found it peculiar; it was as if Paula transformed into a completely different person now.
"Is that all, or is there more?" Cecilia was a bit on edge, unsure if Paula had revealed her true identity to Magnus. "That's it." Magnus took a deep breath. "Don't worry, Cecilia. I won't let her trickanymore. She's sick now because of karma. I get it." Cecilia was somewhat displeased with what he had said, Though Paula had been unkind to her from childhood, she always loved Magnus exceptionally and had never done anything to wrong him.
Yet, now that she was gravely ill and on the brink of death, he was saying she deserved it.
"She's in the late stages of cancer now. If you have the time, you should visit her more often." Cecilia didn't want him to have any regrets.
Upon hearing these words, Magnus beceven more surprised.
However, he couldn't be bothered to argue. He simply agreed nonchalantly, "Alright, whatever you say." After hanging up the phone, he didn't bother about Paula anymore.
She neglectedfor Ralph and Cassandra. Why should I care about her now? Meanwhile, Ralph, who was on vacation, also received the lawsuit papers. He was in utter disbelief.
First, there was Paula filing for divorce and demanding a split of assets earlier this month. Now, her son was suing him for money.
"They're all after my money! The Smith family's money is mine now, and expectto cough it back up? As if!" Left with no other choice, Ralph could only return to the country with his secretary.
Back in the hospital, Paula lay in bed, finding even the simplest movements a challenge.
Every day, she found herself immersed in the melodies Cecilia had composed, feeling a unique sentiment each tshe listened to them. The caregiver continued to look after her as usual.

Paula understood this as well. "You're right, but there's no point regretting. I brought this upon myself," she m remarked, gazing out the window. "Now, I'm just waiting for the divorce proceedings, and then I'll go and make amends with Regas in the afterlife." The caregiver let out a sigh as she served Paula her food.
The latter sat up, suppressing her discomfort as she compelled himself to eat.
Nowadays, no matter what she ate, nothing seemed to have any flavor. But in order to hold on until the divorce and property division, she had no choice but to force herself to swallow her food. "Ugh..." .." The woman finished everything, only to throw it all up again.
At that moment, someone approached from outside the ward.
