When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1090 Keep A Close Watch

After learning about the situation, Nicholas instructed the butler to keep a close watch on Nathaniel’s every move, especially when he was with Cecilia.

“Cecilia wants Mr. Nathaniel to be able to go out for walks,” said the butler.

Nicholas paused. “As long as he doesn’t leave the manor he can go for walks.”

Since Cecilia would be watching Nathaniel closely, Nicholas didn’t want her to develop a bad impression of him.

“Understood.”

At Orion Corporation, the end of the month was approaching, and those at the bottom of the sales performance chart would be fired.

The performance of Team Five was good, but there had been some accounting discrepancies. If the higher–ups or shareholders found out, it wouldn’t be a small issue.

In that case, Team Five was most likely to be fired.

Cecilia had already sent someone to investigate the issue, primarily to observe who had been closely interacting with Miranda or Team One.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

However, there had been no progress so far.

She was troubled about how to find that person when suddenly a message came through from the moms‘ group at the kindergarten: President, it’s been a long time since we had a gathering. Let’s get together and chat about how the kids have been doing.

As the head of the parents‘ association, Cecilia needed to maintain communication with the other moms.

Cecilia agreed, “Sure.”

She left work early to join the moms from the parents association for dinner.

Miranda also attended.

Although most of the moms didn’t like her, they couldn’t help but flatter her due to her status as a daughter–in–law of the Rainsworth family.

Helen and Meredith looked disdainful, while Priscilla had firmly aligned herself with Cecilia To prove her loyalty, she even secretly shared a scandal about Miranda.

With this, Priscilla had completely burned bridges with Miranda, ensuring they would never reconcile.

“Ms. Miranda, I’ve already talked to my kid about this before. He told me he’s been playing with Felix every day,” said one mom who had sided with Miranda as she had learned about Cecilia and Nathaniel’s divorce.

Miranda smiled. “Felix isn’t short of friends. Since they re at school to learn, it’s best for everyone to focus on their studies. This is the age when they’re laying the foundation.”

The flattering mom was met with an icy reception.

Cecilia sat with Helen and Meredith, observing the situation clearly.

She now understood that life was all about circles. At school, you had the school circle; at work, the company circle; and now, with kids in school, the moms‘ circle.

Although they said the dinner was to talk about their kids, it was really a competition among the moms to show off or to make connections with other powerful moms.

Meredith, who had recently joined the parents‘ association, was disgusted by this behavior. “Cecilia, Helen, since we’re not really here to talk about the kids, I’m heading home.”

She couldn’t stand the toxic atmosphere, especially Miranda’s.

Meredith and Miranda were from the same hometown, and they had always been rivals in their younger years.

Later, Miranda married into the Rainsworth family, while Meredith married into the Turner family.

Although the Turner family wasn’t as powerful as the Rainsworths, Meredith’s husband, Zeke Turner was the head of the Turner family. On the other hand, Miranda’s husband, Adrian, was merely the manager of a branch company.

In comparison, Zeke was more accomplished than Adrian.

Unfortunately, Zeke had never loved Meredith. He had an affair and even fathered a son with the other woman.

Meredith didn’t care for Zeke either. She was well aware that their marriage was purely a business arrangement, but Zeke’s affair saved her a lot of trouble. So now, she even took care of the son he had with his mistress.

“Meredith, I have something to take care of as well. I’ll leave with you,” Cecilia said as she stood up.
