Chapter 122 Drop The Lawsuit


    “You can head back now. I’ll be attending thepany’s anniversary celebration tonight,” Nathaniel spoke impatiently.


    “All right.” After leaving breakfast behind, Ste cast a smug nce at Cecilia before departing.


    When Nathaniel turned around, sure enough, Cecilia was standing right behind him. For some reason, he felt a twinge of guilt. “When did you wake up?”


    Cecilia’s expression was calm. “When Ste proposed to you. Congrattions to both of you.”


    Nathaniel’s heart tightened. The room felt like it froze for a few seconds. He looked at her intently with his dark eyes. “If you have any objections, say them now.”Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    All she had to do was tell him not to marry Ste, and he would agree. But Cecilia just shook her head and repeated, “Congrattions to both of you. I’ll cooperate on the divorce proceedings. But on one condition–you give Elliot back to me.”


    Nathaniel’s heart sank. He realized that Cecilia didn’t care about him anymore. She wasn’t bothered about him being with someone else or even marrying another woman.


    Nathaniel felt deeply irritated, though he couldn’t quite understand why. He coughed heavily and. tossed the breakfast Ste had brought him straight into the trash.


    “Order whatever you want to eat,” he said. After that, he walked past Cecilia and headed to the study.


    Cecilia realized how naive he was. Did he really think I’d eat what Ste sent over?


    After fixing herself some breakfast in the kitchen, she finished eating and sent a quick text to Nathaniel before heading out the door: I’m heading to the office.


    Nathaniel had been waiting in his study, hoping Cecilia would say something tender, but all he got was a short message from her. After reading it, his face was as dark as a storm cloud.


    When he walked downstairs, he noticed Cecilia had already left early. He went into the kitchen, but it was empty–she hadn’t made breakfast for him. Nathaniel felt a deep ache in his stomach and an even worse one in his head. He asked the driver to bring some breakfast over.


    At the office, Cecilia turned on her phone and saw that she’d missed a call from a strange number on her overseas cardst night.


    The call hade from Tud. She didn’t call back. Instead, she asked someone to look up the owner of the phone number. It didn’t take long to find out it was Ste.


    The previous day, the news about Ste’s giarism scandal was still blowing up online, so it made sense that she’d be trying to reach Cecilia now.


    Sure enough, the phone rang before long. Cecilia used a foreign IP address and even altered her voice before answering.


    “Hello.”


    “Is this Ms. Cecille? I’m Ste. I want to talk to you about the song, Ray of Light in the Dark. This was a mistake by one of my employees, who unknowingly included your work. Can we discuss how to resolve this so you might consider dropping thewsuit?” Ste’s tone was exceptionally polite. If she knew Cecille was actually Cecilia, she might not be so pleasant.


    “You want me to drop thewsuit? It’s simple,” Cecilia replied calmly. “First, apologize to mywyer. Then, publicly admit to the giarism.”


    “I can apologize, but I can’t admit to giarism. How much money do you want? I’ll pay whatever it takes, okay?” Ste knew that admitting to giarism would be the end of her career in the singing industry, and possibl


    in entertainment altogether.


    -Then get ready for an internationalwsuit,” Cecilia said, ending the call. She knew the kind of person Ste was, so there was no point in dragging out the conversation.


    Ste, furious, threw her phone aside.
