When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1814 Completely Foolednoveldrama

Cecilia sat down and looked at Yuliana. "Start from the beginning," she said. "Tell me everything you know. If you lie, I'll have the police investigate."

Yuliana swallowed hard, trying to collect her thoughts. She told Cecilia everything about her meetings with Cassandra, not leaving out a single detail. By the time she finished, Cecilia was stunned.

Yuliana had been completely fooled.

"Cassandra has tried to kill my mother multiple times. And yet, you still trusted her enough to bring her food to my mother?" Cecilia asked, her voice laced with disbelief.

Tears streamed down Yuliana's cheeks. "I thought it was just a rumor. I believed that Aunt Queenie only wanted her real daughter back and that you were making up lies about Cassandra."

"And now?" Cecilia pressed.

Yuliana wiped her eyes and shook her head. "I was wrong. I should've seen it sooner. I never wanted to hurt Aunt Queenie."

She grabbed Cecilia's hand. "You need to take her to the hospital right away."

Cecilia pulled her hand away. "You expect me to just believe everything you say? For all I know, you could be lying. Maybe you were working with Cassandra all along."

Yuliana's face drained of all color.

"Even if you didn't know what was in the food, you still helped her. That makes you an accomplice," Cecilia said sharply.

"I-I..." Yuliana opened her mouth but couldn't find the words.

"Even an accomplice risks facing jail time. You should be more worried about yourself," Cecilia added before walking past her.

"Yuliana collapsed to the floor, her body weak and trembling.

Her mind spun."

Why did Cassandra do this? And to think I trusted her! She even dragged me into this mess!

"What do I do now?" she whispered.

She sat there for what felt like forever until a familiar voice spoke. “Yuliana, what are you doing sitting here all by yourself?"

She looked up and saw Bethany standing nearby. “Grandma..."

The moment she spoke, her tears spilled over. Without thinking, she rushed forward and threw herself into Bethany's arms.

Bethany held her, gently patting her back. "What's wrong? Tell me what happened."

Yuliana's heart pounded. How could she admit that she had been fooled so easily?

"I made a mistake, Grandma," she choked out. "I don't know what to do now."

Bethany's face filled with concern. "What happened?"

After a long hesitation, Yuliana took a deep breath and told her

everything. By the time she finial net

Bethany looked utterly shaken. She was silent for a long time.

"Grandma, I didn't know Cassandra would do something like this," Yuliana sobbed. "I really thought she cared about Aunt Queenie. I was so wrong."

Bethany sighed, stroking her

granddaughter's hair. "You're too naive, my dear. You believe

everything Cassandra tells you. Why didn't you come to me or your aunt first?"

She looked at Yuliana sadly. “Do you really think your aunt would throw away her adopted daughter just because she found her real child?"

Yuliana bit her lip, realizing just how foolish she had been. Wiping her tears, she whispered, "I messed up. I messed up so badly."

Bethany shook her head. "You disappointed me, Yuliana. You say you didn't But you suddenly understand now? What changed?"

Yuliana hesitated before explaining how Cecilia had uncovered the truth. Bethany listened quietly, then let out a heavy sigh. "You should be

grateful," she said. "Cecilia wael. ne
