When Her “Death” Couldn’t Break Him Chapter 876 He Has Changed 1 x 71% Finished Over an hour later, Cecilia arrived at the branch of Orion Corporation where Magnus was currently situated. Magnus personally came out to greet her. “Cecilia, come on in. Come see my office.” He was clad in a sharply tailored suit and leather shoes. Along the way to his office, people kept addressing him as “Mr. Smith.” Cecilia noticed that his transformation was truly significant. Upon arriving at the office, Cecilia settled herself on the couch. Magnus personally served her a cup of water. “Cecilia, considering you’re pregnant, I won’t prepare tea for you.” “Thank you,” Cecilia said, filled with a sense of relief. “You’re my sister, so there’s no need to be so formal with me. Don’t forget, we used to play together all the time when we were kids.” Magnus took a seat. Cecilia nodded. “You’re doing really well now.” If Regas could see this, Cecilia believed that he would no longer hold anything against Magnus. L It seemed like Magnus genuinely regretted his actions. The reason I was able to change was all thanks to Nicholas. He really is a wonderful person. Cecilia, we should both be grateful to him.” Cecilia had always known that Nicholas was a good man, though there had been a slight misunderstanding before. “Mm, I know.” “By the way, did you need something from me today?” Magnus asked. { Only then did Cecilia reveal to him, “I want you to sue Ralph to get him to return the assets.” She paused for a moment, refraining from revealing that there was no blood relation between them. After all, she was still uncertain if Magnus could accept it. “Sue the Evans family? Didn’t you take care of that? Wouldn’t it be inappropriate if I get involved now?” Magnus wasn’t sure what Cecilia was planning. Back then, hadn’t she said she wouldn’t let him inherit the Magnus wasn’t sure what Cecilia was Smith family’s wealth? Had she suddenly changed her mind now because she felt he had changed? “I’m suing Paula, but that won’t get the money back from the Evans family. I was hoping you could help me retrieve all that belongs to the Smith family.” Cecilia clenched her fingers nervously. 1/2 11:28 Fri, Oct 25 Chapter 876 He Has Changed When the time comes, the money- 33 Finished Before he could finish his sentence, Cecilia interrupted him. “You can have all the money; I don’t want it.” She was no longer the daughter of the Smith family, so she was unqualified to vie for its fortune. Besides, Magnus had changed now. He was unlikely to be as naive as he was before. “No way! How can I possibly do that?” On the surface, Magnus seemed to reject the idea, but deep down, he had already hatched a plan. Once he got the money, he could establish a much larger company. “No need for further discussion; it’s settled. Seeing you like this, I can rest easy.” Cecilia rose and took her leave. Not long after she left, Magnus immediately reported to Nicholas about Cecilia’s visit. At that moment, Nicholas also had a DNA test report in his hand. The report contained the results of the blood relationship test between Cecilia and Paula.- He had used some tactics to get his hands on the report, but he truly hadn’t expected that Paula was not Cecilia’s biological mother. “Whatever Cecilia asks you to do, you agree and do your best to get it done. If you encounter any difficulties, come to me,” Nicholas said. “All right.” Magnus paused before continuing, “Nicholas, I’ll definitely need a substantial amount of money for the lawsuit.” “I’ll have someone send you the money.” “Thanks, Nicholas.” Nicholas ended the call. Just then, Jocelyn walked in. “Mr. Nicholas, Cassandra called earlier. Your line was busy, so she asked me to tell you she would like you to accompany her to tonight’s performance.” Cassandra was currently pregnant, so she couldn’t dance anymore. All she could do was watch others dance or participate in media interviews. “Tell her I don’t have time.”
