Chapter 1697 Scheming Cassandra

The details of the recording were both shocking and infuriating. Cassandra had been plotting to collaborate with external forces to undermine Jamieson Group. Even more audaciously, she planned to manipulate the company’s stock.

Cecilia knew she had to act decisively to prevent Cassandra’s schemes from succeeding.

Scorpius’ office was just next door. Worried that the older employees would bully Cecilia, he frequently checked in to see if there was anything he could help with.

Cecilia knew all too well that Scorpius had once wronged her and Jonathan, which explained her frosty demeanor toward him. She only interacted with him when it was about work.

Scorpius, in turn, was acutely aware of the resentment Cecilia bore toward him. The fact that he still held a position in the company was a testament to her tolerance. He didn’t dare to ask for more; his sole wish was to protect Queenie’s family from the shadows.

At the hospital, Queenie’s condition remained dire. She spent most of her days unconscious. Despite her fragile state, she occasionally mustered the strength to visit Cassandra’s young daughter. The sight of the child tugged at her heartstrings, filling her with deep sympathy.
