Chapter 599 Misunderstood Me
Initially, Cecilia had refused, but under the relentless persuasion of Vivian, she eventually agreed.
In the evening. Vivian came to pick up Cecilia. Seeing the gauze wrapped around her face, she asked with concern, “Cecilia, how’s your face now?”
“Much better now. The doctor mentioned that the bandages could be removed in a few days,” Cecilia replied.
“That’s good, then.”
Whenever Vivian recalled the scene of Cecilia’s face being ruined that day, she couldn’t help but shudder.
“Let’s go.”
“All right.”
Cecilia followed Vivian into the car and asked her how Jonathan had been doing recently.
“Jon seems to fit in everywhere, and Grandpa even took him to the party today,” Vivian said. “You can rest assured this time. With round–the–clock security, nothing will happen to Jon.”
Cecilia nodded and said, “Vivian, didn’t I tell you? Nathaniel has already discovered the identities. of Jon and Eli. I suspect they will soon acknowledge Jon.”
Vivian also took it into consideration, falling silent for a moment afterward.
“I’ll tell Grandpa.”
George was fond of Jonathan. If George were to suddenly find out, he would surely be devastated.
Upon reaching the outdoor venue of the gathering, they saw from a distance the individuals who frequently appeared in financial news stories.
Vivian sighed and said, “I thought after getting engaged, I wouldn’t need to attend these events. anymore. Turns out, I still do. Grandpa told me that I could choose not to work, but as a daughter–inw of the Sinir family, it’s essential for everyone to know who I am.
Cecilia discovered that George genuinely cherished Vivian, and she was sincerely delighted for Vivian.
The two of them alighted from the car, engrossed in their conversation. They failed to notice someone heading straight toward them.
-Vivian.”
A familiar voice rang out, causing Vivian to fall silent instantly. She lifted her head to look at Ernest and found herself rooted to the spot in surprise. Ernest was in a suit that evening.
Cecilia grabbed her hand, snapping her back to reality.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.
Ernest looked at Vivian with aplex gaze before turning to Cecilia and asking, “Mrs. Rainsworth, could I have a moment alone with her?”
Cecilia didn’t respond, his gaze seeking answers from Vivian.
“Go ahead, Ceci. I’lle and find you in a bit,” Vivian said.
“All right.” Cecilia swiftly made her way toward the location of the business meeting.
Inside, the atmosphere was particrly lively. Cecilia noticed that Ralph was also present, but Pa wasn’t by his side. Due to Cecilia’s renewedwsuit, Pa had been sent back to custody.
Cecilia was just covering finding a less crowded spot to sit and wait for Vivian when a voice sounded from behind her.
“Cecilia.”
Turning around, Cecilia discovered Nichs standing behind her, unsure of when he had arrived.
Cecilia’s fondness for him had significantly decreased when she recalled how he had used Ste to frame Nathaniel before. She nodded slightly, her manner both polite and distant.
With a calm demeanor, Nichs observed her subtle expressions and asked, “Is your face all right?”
“Yes.”
Cecilia turned to leave.
Nichs, however, swiftly grabbed her arm.
“Shall we chat?”
Cecilia furrowed her brows. “I’ve made everything clear before. We have nothing to chat about.”
Had it not been for his fiancée, Cecilia’s face wouldn’t have ended up like that, and Jonathan wouldn’t have been put in danger.
She attempted to pull away from Nichs‘ grasp, yet the man only tightened his hold.
“Ceci, you misunderstood me.”
“Misunderstood you? Didn’t you admit to everything you’ve done to Nathaniel?” Cecilia retorted.
She couldn’tprehend how the once warm and caring man would turn out like this.
Nichs‘ throat bobbed slightly. “Have you fallen for him?”
Nichs gazed into her clear eyes, seemingly finding the answer he was looking for within his heart.
