When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1510 Why Did You Lie

Caliste couldn't help but say to Queenie, "I don't think Ms. Cecilia is someone who could be so harsh to a child."

Queenie nodded.

"I know that, but look at Cassandra. She would have undoubtedly been relentless if I had helped Ceci. Who knows what kind of trouble she would have stirred up?" Queenie sighed. "Hurry and investigate Dahlia's matter." "Understood," Caliste agreed.

Queenie looked at her granddaughter, who was covered in injuries. "Dahlia, don't worry. I'll certainly find the person who hurt you."

She wasn't favoring Cassandra, nor was she distrusting Cecilia.

Her intention was merely to placate Cassandra temporarily, then discreetly investigate who exactly had the audacity to harm a baby.

When it was midnight, Queenie called for the nanny who took care of the child. "Speak up. Why did you lie today? Did someone offer you some sort of benefit?"

The nanny quickly shook her head. "Mdm. Queenie, what are you talking about? I didn't lie. It was indeed Ms. Cecilia who did it."

Queenie's expression turned cold. "You're still not willing to tell the truth even now? When you were in the hospital, didn't you say that Dahlia wouldn't stop crying after being held by Cecilia? How come now it's suddenly Cecilia's fault? Did you actually see her hurt the child?"

The nanny was taken aback, evidently having forgotten her previous statement. She explained, "I only caught a glimpse of Ms. Smith pinching Dahlia."

Queenie's anger intensified. "If you saw it, why didn't you stop it?"

The nanny choked up. "Um, I was afraid I might have seen it wrong..."

Her justification was so full of holes that Queenie was certain she was lying.

"I'm telling you, if you're willing to share the truth with me, I won't shortchange you. However, if you continue to lie, you only have yourself to blame when I make my move."noveldrama

Her threat made the nanny somewhat scared.

In the outside world, everyone knew Queenie was ruthless in her dealings. Handling a nanny was as simple for her as dealing with an ant.

The nanny was truly conflicted.

Caliste, at the side, suddenly gripped the nanny's hair tightly. "Will you speak or not? If you won't, I'll feed you to the dogs we keep at home right now!"

"I'll do it! Don't hurt me!" The nanny could no longer control herself, and she told the truth. "Ms. Dahlia had started crying since this morning, and it wasn't because of Ms. Cecilia's embrace. Ms. Dahlia seemed ill today, and no amount of coaxing could soothe her. Luckily, I ran into Ms. Cecilia, who helped me comfort her. She even instructed me to take the child to see a doctor."

Her statement was identical to what Cecilia said.

Queenie gave Caliste a glance.

In response, Caliste raised her voice again. "Why wouldn't you tell the truth when you were in the hospital?"

The nanny was in a bit of a

predicament. "Ms. Cassandra

threatened me. She said if I dared to speak out of turn, she'd take my life. However, she also promised that if I did exactly as she instructed, she'd reward me with half a million."

Half a million was a substantial amount of money, and she just couldn't resist agreeing to it.

Everything had become crystal clear.

"Do you know who is responsible for the injuries on Dahlia?" Queenie asked again.

The nanny shook her head. "I'm not sure either. When I was carrying Ms. Dahlia, she didn't have a single injury on her. It was only after we went to the hospital today that she did."

A terrifying thought struck Queenie when she heard that.

Even Caliste had thought of it.

"Did you accompany Cassandra Dahlia to the hospital?" asked Queenie.

"Ms. Cassandra forbade me from following her," replied the nanny.

Upon hearing that, Queenie immediately understood Cassandra was the one who injured Dahlia. "You may leave now." "Mdm. Queenie, could you please not inform the young mistress about this matter? I'm scared."

Queenie placated the nanny and watched the latter leave.
