<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jessica wasn’t quite sure how she managed to escape. She was utterly terrified,pletely taken aback by Nathaniel’s sudden outburst of anger.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">However, she felt that her thoughts for the day were fine. As long as shemunicated well with Nathaniel and didn’t cross his boundaries, he wouldn’t harm her.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Regrettably, the words she spoke afterward might have led Nathaniel to believe that she was deceiving him.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jessica was in pain, but she couldn’t help but wonder what on earth was going on.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">At that moment, Elena called her.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Jessica, how’s Nathaniel doing these days?”</font></font>RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jessica lied. “Aunt Elena, right now Nathaniel only listens to me. Whenever the butler or the housekeeper takes care of him, he gets angry andshes out. But when I’m the one looking after him, he doesn’t.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Really?” Elena couldn’t help but feel ted. “What about Cecilia?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Aunt Elena, I think it would be best if Cecilia didn’te here anymore. Last night, I even heard that she was hit.” Jessica feigned concern for Cecilia. “Isn’t Cecilia still pregnant? Taking care of Nathaniel is already inconvenient for her. Besides, I don’t think she’s putting her heart into it. She leaves for work early in the morning and doesn’t return untilte at night. Once she’s home, she just goes to sleep.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After listening quietly, Elena couldn’t help but furrow her eyebrows.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“I thought she had changed, but I never expected her to treat me and Nathaniel so superficially.” Perhaps she couldn’t bear the thought of breaking up with Nathaniel. That’s why she decided to pretend to take care of him, all in a bid to win my favor.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elena advised Jessica to take good care of Nathaniel, assuring her that as long as she treated Nathaniel well, she would never be disadvantaged.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Aunt Elena, I’m in love with Nathaniel. No matter what changese his way, I’ll take good care of him.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“All right.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elena wanted to express her gratitude when a call from Cecilia came through.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She hadn’t reached out to Cecilia yet; unexpectedly, it was Cecilia who ended up calling her.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">With a furrowed brow, Elena said, “I’m hanging up now.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She ended the call, then answered the one from Cecilia</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“What’s the matter?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Compared to a few days ago, Elena’s tone and manner of speaking were noticeably colder now. Cecilia didn’t pay much attention. After all, Elena’s primary concern had always been her unborn</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Mom, I want to discuss something with you.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elena was impatient. “What is it?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“I was thinking of taking Nathaniel out for a stroll over the weekend,” Cecilia said.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Because Jessica had been stirring the pot behind the scenes, Elena didn’t let Cecilia exin. “You’re well aware of Nathaniel’s current state. If he hurts someone else or himself when he’s out and about, what then? Don’t just act impulsively.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">At that moment, Cecilia finally noticed something.</font></font>
“Mom, did someone say something to you?”
Elena didn’t beat around the bush. “If you’re genuinely good to Nathaniel, you won’t have to worry about others talking behind your back.”
Cecilia couldn’t help butugh.
“Mom, don’t just believe what you hear. See it for yourself. If you think I’m not treating Nathaniel well, you cane over tonight.”
It would be an opportunity for Cecilia to show Elena the injuries on Nathaniel’s body.
Without wasting any words, Elena responded, “I was nning to visit. Since you’ve said so much, I’lle over tonight.”
“All right.”
Cecilia ended the phone call.
When she was on the phone with Elena, she had already arrived at the office.
That day was the time for the end–of–month summary and Cecilia still had to deal with matters rted to the ounts.
Cassandra had finished her tasks, buttely, it was unusual that she spent very little time at the office, often leaving soon after she arrived.
At that time, Cecilia was unaware of Cassina’s circumstances, let alone Cassandra’s decision to thoroughly. embarrass this impostor iming to be the heiress of the Jamieson family.
