<strong>Chapter 234 Transferring The Assets Back To Her</strong>


    At Spring Forest Manor, Cecilia and Elliot walked together in a secluded area, careful to avoid the surveince cameras that Elliot had warned her about. When they reached a quiet spot, Cecilia. crouched down to speak to him.


    “Eli, there’s something I need to tell you,” she began softly.


    “Okay.”


    “I’m nning to take you home in a few days. During this time, you need to get ready, okay?” she exined, gently ruffling his hair.


    Elliot nodded. “Got it.”


    Cecilia smiled, ruffling her son’s hair.


    “However, this has to be a secret between the two of us. You can’t tell anyone, including the housekeepers and Mr. Rainsworth. Let’s make a pact,” she said, raising her pinky finger.


    Elliot hooked his pinky around hers. “We’ll make a pinky promise. It’s a pact that can’t be broken for a hundred years.”


    Cecilia smiled warmly but felt a twinge of unease. She knew that Elliot was still young, but if she didn’t prepare him now, something unforeseen could happen on the day they were supposed to leave.


    Elliot was well are of Cecilia’s concerns. He leaned in closer, whispering, “Mommy, I know Uncle Nathaniel brought me here for money. I’m not naive.”


    Cecilia was momentarily taken aback, then found herself smiling in disbelief. She hadn’t expected him to be so perceptive. It was difficult to exin theplexities of the situation, so she decided to let the misunderstanding continue.


    “Right, so when you’re here by yourself, Eli, you must take good care of yourself, okay?” she said, her voice tinged with both pride and concern.


    “Don’t worry, Mommy,” Elliot replied, lightly patting his chest with his hand, a gesture of reassurance.


    At that moment, Cecilia took out a miniaturemunication device and attached it to the inside of his clothing. “Sweetie, before I leave, I’ll use this to contact you. Can you make sure no one else discovers it?”


    “Sure, I promise toplete the mission,” Elliot said, his eyes curving into a smile.


    Before leaving, Cecilia embraced him tightly, reluctant to let go.


    From the second floor of the manor, Nathaniel watched the two figures–onerge, one small- from a distance. His deep–set eyes were filled with aplex mix of emotions as he observed their interaction.


    Mason entered the room and knocked on the door. “Mr. Rainsworth, the transfer agreements for all the businesses previously owned by the Smith family that you asked me to arrange have been handled by the legal department,” he reported..


    Nathaniel nodded. “Understood.”


    “Should I inform Ms. Smith now?” Mason asked, but before he could receive an answer,


    Nathaniel turned around to look for Cecilia and Elliot. Suddenly, he realized they had vanished from his sight.


    Without responding to Mason, Nathaniel hastily descended the stairs and exited the building. His heart pounded with a mix of fear and relief when he saw Cecilia standing at the door with Elliot. by her side.


    They hadn’t run away.


    Only then did his tense heart begin to rx.


    Elliot, particrly well–behaved, called out, “Mr. Rainsworth.”


    “Hey.”


    Cecilia then sent Elliot back to the housekeeper’s care. The child hugged his mother tightly. before leaving. “Mommy, I will miss you. Until we meet again next time.”N?velDrama.Org ? content.


    On the drive back, Cecilia and Nathaniel sat in silence, with Mason joining them. As they drove,


    Cecilia noticed they weren’t heading toward Rainsworth Manor. “Where are we going?” she asked, breaking the silence.


    “To thepany,” Nathaniel replied curtly.


    Over an hourter, they arrived at Rainsworth Group’s headquarters. In the CEO’s office, Mason handed Cecilia a set of documents. Confused, Cecilia took them and began to read. The words “Transfer Agreement” immediately caught her eye.


    As she flipped through the pages, she found records of the Smith family’s former branchpanies, as well as some ongoing projects. It became clear that Nathaniel intended to transfer all these assets back to her.


    “After you’ve read it and if there are no issues, go ahead and sign it,” Nathaniel said gravely, his tone leaving no room for argument.


    Back in the day, when Nathaniel had agreed to marry Cecilia, everyone assumed it was for power and money. They believed he was seeking a strong alliance to protect his position as CEO from other members of the Rainsworth family.


    Most importantly, everyone knew that Magnus, the only son of the Smith family, was considered. useless. Marrying Cecilia would have given Nathaniel control over the Smith family’s assets.


    Everything that followed seemed to confirm these suspicions. To the outside world, it appeared


    Yet Cecilia knew the truth. Nathaniel didn’t gain control of the Smith family through his status as her husband. He did it through his own merit, through his relentless drive and determination.


    She handed the document back to him, her expression unreadable.


    “What do you mean by this?” Nathaniel was puzzled.
