NovelEnglishChapter 566 Confronting Paula
The agonized scream interrupted Cecilia, who was composing music. Confused, she left her work and headed
toward the living room.
From a distance, she saw Paula in the living room, covering her face with one hand while pointing at Elliot with
the other. “Tell me! Did you do this on purpose?” | could've forgiven him once or twice, but this?
Elliot still wore an expression of innocent bewilderment. “Granny, what's wrong? Why are you yelling at me?”
The housekeeper shielded Elliot. “Madam, I'm certain Eli didn’t do it on purpose. He's always been such a good
boy.”
Paula didn’t believe it. “This is clearly alcohol, not iodine. My face is stinging with pain right now.”
“Eli never even attended kindergarten, so how could he distinguish between iodine and alcohol?” The
housekeeper found Paula somewhat unreasonable. She claimed to be Eli’s granny, but how could a granny be so
inconsiderate toward her grandchild?
After listening to the housekeeper’s words, Paula realized she made sense, considering Elliot appeared to be only
four or five years old.
However, the thought of Elliot ruining her face made it impossible for her to feel toward him.

“Forget it. | can’t be bothered to talk to you all. Where's Cecilia?” Paula had had enough of keeping up the
pretense.
The housekeeper was just about to respond to her when Cecilia walked in from outside. She looked at Paula with
a cold gaze. “What do you need from me?”
Paula looked at Cecilia's current demeanor. Cecilia's exquisite face was partially wrapped in gauze, and when she
entered, her aura was completely different from before.
Initially, Paula didn’t want to show Cecilia any weakness. However, considering that she would be spending her
future in jail, she had no choice but to lower her stanice.
“Ceci, don’t getwrong, | just cto see how you're doing,” Paula said.
“I'm fine. I'm not going to die.”
When Cecilia was reminded that her injury was caused by Paula’s beloved daughter, Cassandra, her expression
hardened. “If you don’t have anything else, could you please leave?”
Choked up. Paula rebuked, “How could you talk to your mother like that? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even
have been born into this world. | cto see you out of goodwill, yet you want to sendaway?”
Cecilia had the housekeeper bring Elliot upstairs to prevent him from witnessing the unsavory side of human
nature.
Then, she said, “How many times do | have to tell you? | gave your life back to you a long tago. | don’t owe
you anything now.”
“Just because you say so, you assumed that to be the case?” Paula raised her hand, gripping Cecilia's arm as she
looked the latter up and down. “If you revoke that so-called proof document, I'll consider your debt tofor
giving birth to you to be repaid.”
Without hesitation, Cecilia pulled her hand away. “Dream on.”
She then asked, “From what | understand, for you to be bailed out of jail for your crimes, you're not allowed to
leave a certain location, right?
As Cecilia spoke, she picked up her phone.
Seeing that she was about to call the police, a hint of urgency flashed in Paula’s eyes. “How dare you threaten
me, you b*tch?”
Since Cecilia was little, she had always been compliant with Paula's instructions. But now, Cecilia was repeatedly

Paula raised her hands, intending to snatch the phone from Cecilia.
At that moment, Cecilia didn’t hold back against Paula. Paula was no match against Cecilia. She retreated several
steps and abruptly fell to the ground.
She wanted to get up, but a sudden cramp in her lower abdomen left her in too much pain to move.
“I truly regret giving birth to you!” Paula glared at Cecilia with intense animosity. “If | had known, | would have
preferred you to die in my womb.”
Cecilia didn’t care about what she had said. “Sorry to have disappointed you. Of course, given the choice, |
would never have chosen to be bom from your womb.”
Paula picked herself up from the ground. Seeing Cecilia's resolute manner, she covered her face. and left in
resentment.
Following Paula’s departure, Cecilia asked the housekeeper, only then learning about sof the events that
had just transpired.
Meanwhile, in the nursery, Elliot was cheerfully engrossed in playing with building blocks, seemingly having «
forgotten the minor incident that had just occurred.
