Chapter 29 He Had Changed


    He spent his days and nights working at thepany, only pausing to sleep and cat.


    Even the personal belongings that Cecilia had left in Calvin’s house were retrieved by Zachary on


    his behalf.


    Zachary clearly noticed that Nathaniel had changed.


    Since returning. Nathaniel had be even more silent, as if he were lost in his own world.


    Unable to contain his curiosity, Zachary asked Mason, “What’s going on with Nathanieltely?”


    Mason shook his head. “I have no idea. Mr. Sinir, do you think Mr. Rainsworth might actually have feelings for Cecilia?”


    Zachary’s sharp eyes flickered with a strange light at this.


    “Who knows?” he replied before getting into his car and instructing the driver to leave.


    Leaning back in his seat, Zachary pinched the bridge of his nose.


    If Nathaniel truly liked Cecilia, then why was he so eager to push through the acquisition of Smith Corporation?


    He should understand how important thatpany was to Cecilia, knowing that her father, Regas, had built it from the ground up, and it was something Cecilia held dear.


    If he cared for her, why would he have people go overseas to cause trouble for Cecilia’s remaining family members?


    Zachary wasn’t aware that Cecilia had severed ties with Pa and Magnus. He only knew that they were thest of her remaining rtives!


    Nathaniel had never treated his women poorly.


    When he was with Ste, what didn’t she have that others did?


    Zachary noticed that Nathaniel was excessively harsh and cruel to Cecilia as if he viewed her as


    an enemy.


    As these thoughts swirled in his mind, they arrived at a luxurious neighborhood.


    Zachary stepped out of the car and nced around. “This ce isn’t cheap, is it?”


    “At least one hundred grand per square meter,” the driver responded.


    For Zachary, the cost of the property was trivial.


    Yet he understood that most people couldn’t afford such a ce.

    Chapter 29 He Had Changed


    When Zachary arrived, a housekeeper opened the door for him.


    “Ms. Smith’s belongings are in the master bedroom. Mr. Reese said you should take them and leave immediately.”


    The housekeeper knew the man in front of her was not as innocent as his refined appearance suggested, so she showed no kindness in her demeanor.


    Zachary looked at her. “Where is Mr. Reese?”


    The housekeeper snorted. “I’m not his attendant. How would I know where he is? He’s very busy and has no time to deal with people of questionable character…


    She muttered under her breath as she went about her tasks.


    Zachary’s assistant, who was following him, was about to reprimand her but was stopped by Zachary,


    The assistant found it odd. When had Zachary ever tolerated such disrespect?


    Zachary headed straight for the master bedroom.


    Inside, Cecilia’s belongings were already packed, clearly prepared before his arrival.


    Without a word, Zachary began packing the items into suitcases.


    Suddenly, his hands froze as his fingers brushed against an intricately designed, emerald dragon. pendant.


    This jade pendant was a family heirloom, passed down through generations of the Sinir family. It was the only one of its kind!


    Four years ago, Zachary distinctly remembered giving this emerald pendant to the person who had saved his life.


    How did it end up here?


    Zachary clenched the pendant in his hand, lost in thought for a long time before instructing his assistant to pack the rest of Cecilia’s belongings and take them away.RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only


    On the way back, Zachary received a call from someone he had assigned to investigate the incident from four years ago.


    “Mr. Zachary, we’ve found out that the person who saved you back then was Ms. Cecilia Smith, the daughter of the Smith family!”


    The investigator also sent him some photos that had been painstakingly retrieved from the hospital records of that time.


    Zachary looked at the pictures on his phone. Despite the poor quality of the photos, he recognized the bloodied figure in the images at a nce.

    Cecilia!


    It really was her!


    Zachary’s hand that was gripping the phone turned pale from the force of his grip.


    Scenes of him bullying Cecilia shed through his mind one by one.


    He recalled their second meeting after Cecilia had be Nathaniel’s fiancée.


    Cecilia had looked at him with such excitement in her eyes. “It’s you?”


    At that time, he thought she was trying to curry favor, pretending to know him.


    Turns out it wasn’t that.


    Later, due to Ste’s constant instigations, Zachary increasingly viewed Cecilia as a scheming


    b*tch.


    No matter the asion, he would target and mock her at every opportunity.


    Yet, Cecilia never mentioned that she had once saved his life.


    “Why? Why didn’t you tell me?”
