Chapter 1308 Indifferent Treatment
“This isn’t about others; it’s about the Jamieson family! Cecilia looked up at Nathaniel. “Do you see the scar on my face? Even though it’s not as visible now, I haven’t forgotten who did this to me.”
A knot formed in Nathaniel’s throat as he remembered how he had failed to protect her back then.
“And I won’t let Jon get kidnapped again. But right now my hands are tied. All I can do is look for the Jamiesons‘ weak spots.” Cecilia clenched her fists, her resolve burning.
She would never forgive or forget anyone who dared harm her son, no matter how much time had passed. She was determined to make them pay.
Nathaniel pulled her into a tight embrace. “From now on, I’ll be with you. Trust me, the Jamiesons won’t last much longer, and you won’t have to face this alone. You can tell me everything–I’ll handle it.”
Cecilia shook her head after a moment of quiet reflection. “No. I’ve come to realize one thing: the only people we can truly rely on are ourselves.”
After finishing her words, Cecilia added, “What if you’re no longer around? Do you remember the last time you had surgery?”
Nathaniel swallowed hard, but a smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth.
“You’re right,” he admitted. “But I promise to live well from now on. You can be independent, but don’t forget I’ll always be here for you.”
Cecilia chuckled softly. Promise to live well from now on?
“Got it,” she replied.
It had been a long time since the two of them shared such a light and enjoyable conversation.
When they arrived home, the women in the household couldn’t help but notice that their relationship seemed to have taken a step forward.
Nathaniel was in high spirits, and when he went to work the next day, the company buzzed with a cheerful
energy.
Last night, when Cassina and Cassandra left home one after the other, Queenie noticed their departure and even sent someone to follow Cassandra.
It was then she learned about the unexpected incident involving Bailey.
“Why hasn’t Cassie mentioned anything to me?” Queenie asked, puzzled.
Caliste was also in the dark. “Perhaps she’s afraid you’d worry.”
Queenie, however, didn’t see it that way. Over the past few days, she had felt a nagging suspicion that Cassina harbored some animosity toward her, though she couldn’t quite pinpoint the reason.
“Make sure you look into this thoroughly,” Queenie ordered. “How could Bailey have ended up in such a situation?”

“Arrange for the best doctor from that hospital to check on her,” she added.

She was not an ungrateful person. Considering that Bailey had helped raise her daughter, she felt obliged to repay her kindness.
Queenie had previously instructed Caliste to give Bailey property and money, but there had been no way to reach her. Only now did they discover that Bailey had been seriously injured and hospitalized.
Cassina had spent the entire night with Bailey, and when she returned, she appeared listless and drained of energy.
Upon seeing her return, Queenie immediately stood up. “Cassie.”
She instantly shuddered upon hearing Queenie’s voice. It’s all because of her that my mom is in the hospital, losing her mind.
She hummed in response without looking at Queenie.
Seeing Cassina’s dejected departure and her indifferent treatment of her left Queenie with a pang in her heart.
“Is there a misunderstanding between us? Why is she acting so indifferent toward me now?” she mumbled to herself.
She then turned her attention to Caliste. “Any progress on the investigation?”
Caliste shook her head. “It’s still unclear why Cassie was so terrified of Ms. Evans.”
Queenie did not press her further. “You can leave now.
“All right.”
Before long, Queenie’s secretary called from the company. “Mdm. Queenie, Imminence Corporation has snatched our project again.”
Queenie’s brows were tightly knitted.
“Imminence Corporation? They’ve stepped on Orion Corporation’s toes and are now crossing me as well? Do they really think they’re invincible? I’ll make sure they get a taste of their own medicine.”
