Chapter 1331 Take Revenge
Calvin watched him leave, his eyes filled with a chilling frost.
At that moment, his friend, Yannick, rang him up and said, “Hey, why are you stirring up trouble with Cecilia again? Isn’t it enough being a stepdad to two kids? Are you planning to wait until she has twins and end up being a father to four?”
Yannick was exasperated.
Calvin looked out the window and responded, “Don’t spout nonsense. I came back this time specifically for work and just took the opportunity to check on her and take care of her.”
“Really?” Yannick found it somewhat hard to believe.
“Of course.” With an air of nonchalance, Calvin said, “Cecilia has already made her decision to start anew with Nathaniel. I’m not so oblivious to the situation as to keep clinging to her.”
Only then did Yannick breathe a sigh of relief. “That’s good to hear. There are plenty of women in the world. Take your time to find the right one.”
“Yes. I understand.”
Right then, there was a knock at the office door.
Calvin lifted his gaze toward the entrance, where Madeline was standing, a cup of coffee in her hand.
Cecilia knew Madeline was eager to learn, so she arranged for her to be Calvin’s assistant.
Calvin gave her a nod.
Afterward, Madeline pushed the door open.
“All right. That’s all for now,” Calvin said into the phone.
Madeline entered the room, placing the coffee on the table. “Mr. Reese, your coffee.”
“Okay.”
Calvin gave a slight nod, not bothering to look at her.
Madeline stood awkwardly in place. “Mr. Reese, could you possibly assign me some work?”
She thought she would carry out some important tasks by assisting Calvin. To her surprise, it was merely doing odd jobs.
Bewildered, Calvin looked up at her. This woman’s face is stunning, inspiring a sense of tenderness in others.
Calvin simply admired her before asking her, “What kind of job do you want to do?”
“Huh?” Madeline was a bit confused, and she pondered for a moment. “I’m open to any job, as long as it’s not menial work.”
After hearing that, Calvin didn’t take offense. He casually handed her a project from his stack that wasn’t

“This project is yours to oversee. After the contract is signed, you’ll receive a commission of ten percent.”
Excitement filled Madeline’s eyes after she heard that. All right! Thank you, Mr. Reese.”
She exited Calvin’s office with a project in hand and felt as if she had struck gold.
Once she stepped outside, she noticed that the project was worth a million. With a ten percent commission, that meant she could earn a hundred thousand.
For her, who wasn’t earning much at the time, the money that could be made from this project was excessively abundant.
Once I have enough money, I’ll take Darren to court. Madeline knew that she needed a stable income to provide. Amelia with a secure life before she could fight for custody in court.
After Bailey’s funeral concluded, Cassandra could finally relax for a while.
However, she understood that after this incident, Queenie’s fondness for her had dropped to zero.
In private, Cassina looked for her and asked, “Ms. Evans, could you tell me why did you harm my mother?”
Cassina had the answer in her heart, yet she couldn’t help but ask.
“What do you think? I did it because I feared she would reveal that you’re not Queenie’s biological daughter,” Cassandra said, feigning concern for her. “Cassie, think about it. Isn’t it safer if fewer people know this secret? I’m helping you here.”
Is it safer if fewer people know about it? I’ll remember those words. Cassina cast her gaze downward and said, “I understand.”
Cassandra put on a show of magnanimity and said, “Don’t worry. I won’t hold it against you for complaining about it to Queenie. We will still be close sisters in the future.”
“Okay.” Cassina gave a stiff nod.
Once Cassandra had left, Cassina’s eyes were filled with ruthless hostility.
“Just you wait. I’ll definitely have my revenge.”
Cassina clenched her fists. Those past couple of days, Queenie had agreed to take her to the company for some learning experience.
Despite her fears that Cassina would bring up the death of Bailey again, Cassandra chose to turn a blind eye and did not intervene.
