Chapter 62 Leveled The Building


    In the CEO’s office on the top floor of the corporate headquarters, Nathaniel had heard from his bodyguard that Cecilia had visited the Imperial Garden that morning.


    “What was she doing in the Imperial Garden?”


    From what he knew, the Imperial Garden was a ce frequented by wealthy and indulgent young men who led lives of debauchery. It was, in his opinion, a rather “filthy” ce.


    The bodyguard hesitated for a moment before responding. “It seemed like a blind date.”


    Nathaniel’s eyes narrowed slightly, the temperature around him seeming to drop a notch.


    So, the important matter she mentioned was going on a blind date? Once again, she’s making me see her in a new light.


    Nathaniel’s face immediately turned grim.


    The bodyguard was well aware of Nathaniel’s temperament.


    He didn’t want to draw Nathaniel’s irc, so he cautiously left the office.


    At two o’clock in the afternoon, someone knocked on the office door.


    “Mr. Rainsworth.”


    As soon as Cecilia entered, she immediately noticed something off about the aura surrounding Nathaniel.


    The man lifted his brooding gaze slightly, looking at her with an air of indifference. His eyes were cold, as if they could see straight through her heart.


    “Finished with your business?” Nathaniel asked in a deliberate and unhurried manner, his question carrying a hidden implication.


    Cecilia wasn’t sure what he meant. “Yeah. Didn’t you mention yesterday about taking me somewhere?”


    Without a word, Nathaniel rose and walked straight to her.


    “What were you up to this morning?” he asked her, his gaze steady and direct.


    The fact that he asked this question was proof enough that he already knew.


    Under his scrutinizing gaze, Cecilia didn’t hide anything. “A blind date.”Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Nathaniel was in furious that he couldn’t heln herugh


    She spoke these words with such surprising candidness.


    He suppressed the anger welling up within him and questioned, “Are you really that lonely and desperate? Aren’t two men enough for you?


    Lonely and desperate? Two ment


    Cecilia instantly became furious.


    Who did he think he was?


    She shed a mocking smile, each word deliberate. “Mr. Rainsworth, have you misunderstood something? I’m single, so why can’t I go on blind dates?”


    “Single?”


    Unable to contain the fury within him any longer. Nathaniel, with a gloomy expression. firmly gripped Cecilia’s arm and dragged her out


    “I’m going to jog your memory right now. Let’s see if you still think you’re single!”


    With that, Nathaniel shoved Cecilia into the car


    He had used significant force to grab her, so the moment he let go, Cecilia felt a numbing pain in her arm.


    With a thud, the car door was shut.


    The vehicle sped along the main road, causing Cecilia to feel an undeniable sense of fear.


    She wasn’t sure where Nathaniel was taking her, but gradually, she realized something was amiss.


    Though she had been away for four or five years, she recognized this road. A little further ahead was where the office building of Smith Corporation once was.


    Cecilia felt a bit nervous, her hands resting by her side subtly tightened, her fingertips gradually sinking into the palms of her hand.


    Nathaniel noticed her expression. A cruel smile tugged at the corner of his mouth as he spoke unhurriedly.


    “Didn’t you mention that you have intermittent memory loss and are unable to recall many people and events? Then do you still remember this ce?”


    His gaze was directed toward the distance, right where Smith Corporation once stood. But now, as Cecilia looked over, all she saw was emptiness.


    The once majestic Smith Corporation building had been demolished…


    Cecilia’s pupils abruptly contracted.


    Her fists were clenched so tightly that her fingertips had drawn blood from her palms.


    During the years she spent abroad, Calvin and Martha did not dare to let her in on what was happening back home.


    She only found out after returning to her home country that Nathaniel had acquired Smith Corporation. However, what she hadn’t anticipated was that he wouldpletely dismantle Smith Corporation.


    Cecilia felt as if a ball of cotton was lodged in her throat, leaving her unable to speak.


    Nathaniel parked the car. Watching her distraught demeanor, he became increasingly certain that she was merely pretending to have amnesia


    A cold smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, giving him an air of madness. “It seems you don’t remember, so let me tell you! This ce used to be the culmination of your grandfather and father’s lifelong efforts, the original office building of Smith Corporation. However, I’ve now leveled it.”
