Chapter 1132 Consider Resigning
Indeed, Darren was genuinely worried, fearing Nathaniel would have more sons.
“No. Should I bring them back?“.
Darren paced in front of Nathaniel.
Seeing him in such a state, Nathaniel didn’t try to dissuade him. Instead, he simply laid out the pros and cons for him, saying. “If you’re not worried about Madeline doing something foolish, then go ahead.”
Upon hearing those words, Darren could only give up on the idea.
He thought it would be best to wait until Madeline had finished her postpartum care before seeking her out for a leisurely chat.
“In that case, I’ll let Cecilia know.”
“Don’t do that. Madeline dislikes you so much. If you tell Ceci about your relationship with Madeline, and. she finds out later, she will definitely blame Ceci.” Nathaniel was not about to let Cecilia’s kindness go unrewarded. “Besides, don’t you trust her? Regardless of whether she knows Madeline is your wife, she will always treat Madeline well”
Cecilia always thought tit for tat was fair play, never causing trouble unless provoked. However, she was always incumbent when it came to someone in need.
Darren also knew what kind of person Cecilia was, and he nodded in acknowledgment.

“You’ve been tired for a whole day and night now. It’s time you got some rest,” Nathaniel firmly suggested.
“All right.”
Upon learning of Madeline and the child’s disappearance, Darren hadn’t slept all night, searching everywhere. At that moment, seeing Madeline and Amelia safe, he truly breathed a sigh of relief.
Over at the Smith residence, Madeline was a bit curious about Cecilia’s identity. Apart from bodyguards, there were only women and children in her home.

Madeline felt somewhat apologetic. “I’m sorry. It’s just that I-”
“It’s nothing,” Cecilia interrupted her, “Do you have any other questions?”
Seeing how kind Cecilia was to her, Madeline felt bad for questioning Cecilia’s identity. She quickly shook her head and said, “No. Thank you.
Madeline picked up her bowl and fork to eat.

Madeline ended up settling in at the Smith residence. Although the household was entirely composed of women, they got along quite well.

As usual, Cecilia was engrossed in her work, leaving the household matters to the housekeepers.
One day, as soon as she arrived at the office, she was summoned by Adrian’s assistant.
“Ive managed to gather a hundred million for now. Be with me first, and I’ll gradually give you the rest later. You know it’s difficult to get hold of liquid assets these days.” Adrian handed a card to Cecilia.
Without so much as a glance, Cecilia declared, “I’ve said it before. It has to be five hundred million, not a penny less.”
Adrian hadn’t expected Cecilia to be so stubborn.
“Even if Nathaniel were still here now, he wouldn’t just casually hand you five hundred million. How about I give you some jewelry? All those pieces added up could be worth quite a bit.”
He truly couldn’t divert funds at that time. On one hand, he was afraid that Miranda would find our, and on the other hand, he was also fearful of getting caught

“All right.”
Cecilia swiftly made her exit.
When Miranda came over, she happened to witness the scene. She thought that Cecilia was being bullied. by Adrian. Deliberately mocking, she said, “Cecilia, if you can’t hold on, you should consider resigning.”
