When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1083 Mason Called

Cassandra’s expression soured the moment Nicholas‘ kindness toward Cecilia was mentioned.

“Don’t spout nonsense. Nicholas has made it clear that it was Mom’s decision to let Cecilia stay. He can’t go against her wishes.” Despite saying so, even she couldn’t convince herself.

Miranda chuckled disdainfully. “If only that were true.”

Miranda, in her high heels, brushed past Cassandra.

After finally calming down from Cassina’s issue, Cassandra found herself feeling exasperated again.

I must get rid of Cecilia, or Miranda will think Cecilia’s more important to Nicholas than me.

After some reflection, Cassandra devised a quick solution: to capitalize on the collaboration between the Jamieson and Rainsworth families. This partnership was crucial, not only influencing a major shareholder but also determining the future of Orion Corporation and Nicholas. If Cecilia were to make a misstep in this matter, she would be forced to leave no matter what.

With this realization in mind, Cassandra headed to Cecilia’s office. “It’s time to coordinate,” she said.

At first, Cecilia expected Cassandra to stir up trouble again. However, to her surprise, today’s coordination went exceptionally well. By the time the evening rolled around, a significant portion of the tasks had been completed.

Cassandra stood up and said, “Let’s pick this up tomorrow. We need to finalize our collaboration as soon as possible to avoid wasting each other’s time.”

“All right.”

Cecilia didn’t say much but grew cautious.

After Cassandra left, she began to meticulously review the contract and other details of the collaboration between the two companies.

Cecilia realized that if it hadn’t been for Nathaniel teaching her how to handle the work at Orion Corporation, she might not have been able to cope with such work and volume so swiftly.

Reflecting on how Nathaniel had taught her and Elliot all sorts of things before his surgery, Cecilia knew just how deeply he cared and how much effort he had put in.

Alas, it was now difficult for Cecilia to even visit Nathaniel.

When she returned in the evening, she instructed, the driver to head toward the manor.

This time, without Nicholas‘ company, the car couldn’t even get close to the manor’s gate before they were chased away by the guards.

Cecilia couldn’t comprehend why the security here was so stringent. Is it to protect Nathaniel?

She instructed the driver to park the car a bit further away, from where the entrance of the mansion could be clearly seen distance.

Such security measures didn’t seem like they were meant for protection, but rather to monitor those inside.

After such a possibility surfaced in Cecilia’s mind, she was startled by the idea that Nicholas might be confining Nathaniel.

Nicholas and Nathaniel are blood brothers. He won’t harm Nathaniel, right?

“I want to go home! Let me go home!” A man’s voice rang out.

Just as Cecilia was about to instruct the driver to leave, she saw Nathaniel, disheveled and covered in grime, bolting out from the house.

She was completely stunned.

What happened to him?Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Nathaniel had barely taken two steps outside when the bodyguards outside restrained him, promptly escorting him back inside.

As Cecilia observed this scene, she was increasingly convinced that these bodyguards were there to keep an eye on Nathaniel, not protect him. Why do they need to keep an eye on him, given his current state?

“Let’s go.” Unable to discern the situation inside, all Cecilia could do was instruct the driver to start the car and leave.

While she was on the road, a call from Mason came through.

As soon as she answered it, Mason asked eagerly, “Mrs. Rainsworth, have you met Mr. Rainsworth?”

He was calling me “Ms. Smith” just a few days ago, and now he’s calling me “Mrs. Rainsworth” again?

“Yes, I’ve seen him twice,” responded Cecilia.
