Chapter 647 Impending Downfall


    Something crossed Cecilia’s mind, causing a wave of embarrassment to sweep over her. Her face flushed a deep shade of red.


    As soon as Nathaniel noticed her loosening grip, he promptly withdrew his hand.


    “Don’t sleep on the couch in the future. It won’t kill you to take a few more steps!” He was holding back and making sure that he didn’t sound overly cold or friendly.


    After all, they were still in a fight. Up until now, Cecilia hadn’t apologized to him.


    Cecilia knew he was concerned about her. She nodded. “Sorry for disturbing you. You should get some rest too.”


    After she finished speaking, she settled back into her bed.


    Nathaniel didn’t go out to rest. After stepping out, he first asked Mason to find out what Cecilia. had been up to that day and why she seemed so strange.


    Then, he proceeded to wash up.


    Mason was particrly distressed as he was having a romantic moment with his girlfriend when. Nathaniel interrupted them. He decided that he would need a raise in the future.


    He didn’t conduct the investigation himself. Instead, he had his subordinates review the surveince cameras. He found out that Cecilia had gone to see Pa. After pulling some strings, he quickly discovered what Cecilia had done that day.


    After Nathaniel had finished freshening up andid in bed, he heard Mason’s reply.


    “Mr. Rainsworth, Mrs. Rainsworth went to see Pa today. They had a heated argument and it seems like Mrs. Rainsworth made Pa so angry that Pa got hospitalized. Then, thedy and herwyer had a chat. I’m not sure what they talked about, but it was probably about Pa,” said Mason, stifling a yawn.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    Just as Nathaniel was about to speak, he heard a woman’s voice. “Mason, why is your boss so…. odd? It’s midnight already and he’s still making you work. Is he deprived of love? Isn’t this the time to be all lovey–dovey with his wife?”


    Following that, Nathaniel heard a voice that went, “Shush!”


    He promptly hung up the phone.


    I can’t believe I was a victim of my assistant’s public disy of affection.


    That night, Nathaniel found himselfpletely unable to sleep. He wished nothing more than to hold Cecilia tightly in his arms.


    Yet, when he recalled how she was crying in her sleep from a nightmare, he became soft–hearted again.


    Had he known earlier, he wouldn’t have let Elliot go to preschool. Now, he had to adapt to living independently.


    Unable to sleep. Nathaniel simply got up and resumed his work.


    The deadline for the group purchase that Adrian was talking about woulde in two days.


    Hence, Adrian was at his wit’s end.


    “Why is Imminence Corporation opposing me?”


    “When I previously operated an intermediary tform, it did the same and edged me out. Now that I’m organizing group purchases, it’s doing it too. How on earth is thispany so wealthy? Those billions just went down the drain like that. How am I supposed to exin this to my grandfather?”


    Miranda was also anxious. “Didn’t you assure me that this was a surefire deal? My parents even invested five hundred million in you. What are we going to do now?”


    “Miranda, your parents aren’t in a rush for money, right? Can you ask them to support us a bit. more? We’re currently engaged in a price war. As long as I have the funds, Imminence Corporation will naturally leave the market.”


    Miranda furrowed her brows. “My parents‘ business hasn’t been doing welltely. Someone’s been encroaching on their market, causing them to be at a loss. They even asked me when you’d be able to pay I the money they had lent you.”


    Adrian sighed. Suddenly, a thought struck him.


    “Aren’t you in a parents‘ association? Aren’t they always keen on coborating with us? Invite them to be our investment partners.”


    Upon hearing this, Miranda thought it was quite a possible suggestion.


    A few days ago, Prisci hadined to her about how Cecilia was colluding with the other mothers, intending to usurp her position as the president of the parents association.


    She had already confronted those mothers, but she still needed to offer them a bit of incentive.


    What they cared about the most were their children and husbands.


    “Okay, these mothers aren’t short of money. They’re just looking to earn more. I’ll encourage them to invest.”


    After Miranda finished speaking, she promptly began making calls to each of the moms. Once they learned they could earn money by coborating with the Rainsworth family, they all eagerly invested.


    They were unaware that their downfall was swiftly approaching.
