When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1051 Puzzled And Confused

Cecilia was somewhat puzzled, and Vivian was equally confused.

“Weren’t there sobs and numerous voices inside just a moment ago? Why has it suddenly become so quiet? Are they conducting some sort of ceremony?” Vivian asked.

“I’m not sure. Let’s go in and see,” suggested Cecilia.

Upon entering, they finally understood the reason behind it all.

It was because Zachary had arrived.

At that moment, he was seated high atop a sandalwood chair, surrounded by bodyguards dressed in matching black uniforms.

Magnus stood before him, breaking out in a cold sweat

The others dared not even breathe.

“Where’s Vivian?” Zachary asked once more.

After receiving a call from Vivian, he hurried over as fast as he could. However, he didn’t find Vivian or Cecilia.

He wasn’t as easygoing as Nicholas, Immediately, he had the guests surrounded, making them line up properly. He demanded to know exactly who had been bullying Cecilia.

However, when confronted with a malevolent force, those individuals lost all their previous arrogance and domineering attitudes. None of them were willing to admit that they had bullied Cecilia.

Magnus chuckled. “Cecilia and Ms. Kennedy have gone to the hospital. Mr. Sinclair, do you want to call them to let them know you’re here?”

Magnus was particularly afraid of Zachary

He knew Zachary was not like other rich and spoiled brat, and that the latter was truly capable of deadly actions.

He wasn’t thinking straight that day, completely forgetting that Vivian was Zachary’s fiancée. I think someone pushed Vivian earlier.

When Magnus cautiously responded to Zachary, someone softly whispered about Cecilia’s arrival. “Cecilia is here…”

Everyone turned around, and sure enough, they saw Cecilia and Vivian had arrived together.

Upon seeing Zachary, Vivian finally understood why those people had suddenly become so compliant. Truly, it takes a villain to deal with another one.

Zachary immediately rose to his feet and made his way toward the two individuals. He first addressed Cecilia. “Cecilia, are you all right?”

Before Cecilia could respond, Vivian immediately took over the conversation.

“How could she be okay? You have no idea what happened. Earlier, all of them were so arrogant, insisting that Ceci should bow to them. If it weren’t for Nicholas, Ceci’s child might not have been spared, and there could have been a double tragedy…” At that time, Vivian was desperate to portray the situation as dire as possible.

Upon hearing that, those who had bullied Cecilia instantly trembled in fear. “Miss, please don’t speak nonsense. We never laid a hand on Ceci. How could you say there could’ve been a double tragedy?”

“Are you saying you didn’t bully a pregnant woman? Should we check the surveillance footage!” Vivian snapped back immediately as she had someone powerful backing her up at that moment.

The person fell silent instantly, not daring to say another word.

Upon hearing that, Zachary fixed his gaze on Vivian, noticing the wounds on her hands and legs. “Are you hurt too!”

Vivian suddenly became overly dramatic. “Mhm. They were the ones who pushed me. Fjust came from the hospital, and the doctor said I’m seriously injured. He said if I had arrived any later, I would have been crippled ” Then, she pretended to sob a little.

Initially, it was quite a serious matter. However, Cecilia couldn’t help but be amused by how Vivian described what had happened.

Zachary was speechless, but more than that, he felt a sense of satisfaction. So, even you have moments of pretending to be pitiful, huh? Need my help now, do you? Why didn’t you go find your lawyer brother?

The conversation between Vivian and Zachary left the person who had just acted out of turn so frightened that they could barely stand upright.

They were aware of the Sinclair family’s standing. More importantly, they knew that Zachary was unruly, unlike Nathaniel and Nicholas, who were known to be reasonable.

“Mr. Sinclair, we were wrong. We didn’t know this lady was with you.”

“Exactly, Please, forgive us.”

“Considering we’re attendees at a funeral, could you please spare us?”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

The people from the Escobar family began to plead for mercy.

Zachary cast them a cold glance. “What’s the use of admitting your wrongs to me?”
