Chapter 1153

    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Chapter 1153 Not Her Bodyguards</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia was a bit confused because the people who had arrived were not her bodyguards at all.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Her actual bodyguards only emerged a momentter, lookingpletely perplexed.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The leader of the group that had beaten Adrian respectfully said to Cecilia, “Mrs. Rainsworth, sorry for shocking you.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Hearing herself called “Mrs. Rainsworth,” Cecilia immediately understood.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“You’re Nathaniel’s people?”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After answering, they carried Adrian, who had been stuffed into a bup sack, and left,</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Puzzled, Cecilia couldn’t help but ask, “Where are you taking him?”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“To see Mr. Nathaniel and wait for his decision.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia had nothing to do at the moment, so she said, “Tll go with you”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The group hesitated, unsure whether they should refuse.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia didn’t mind at all “It’s fine. I’ll just go see Nathaniel anyway. He did say I could visit him every day.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">With that, they finally agreed.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Perhaps to avoid drawing attention, the men went through the back entrance while Cecilia walked through the main door.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Half an hourter, Adrian woke up from his unconscious state, his head pounding.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Who hit me?” he muttered, rubbing his head as he slowly took in his surroundings</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The first thing he noticed was Cecilia sitting not far away, eating something</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“It’s you? You b*tch! How dare you have me beaten!”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Adrian stood up, ready to charge at Cecilia.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Yet, before he could get close, a few men in dark suits pinned him back down,</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Adrian nced around and finally noticed the bodyguards,</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Realizing the situation, he started to feel a bit scared.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Cecilia, what do you want?”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia found his change in attitude amusing. “What can I do? I’m just protecting myself. Weren’t you about to hit me earlier?</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Adrian never expected Cecilia to change so much. She even brought people with her.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Don’t do anything reckless! I’m Nathaniel’s cousin. If the Rainsworth family finds out something happened to me, they won’t let you off.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia listened quietly, unmoved.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Panicking, Adrian added, “I don’t want the five hundred million anymore. It’s all yours. Let’s just forget this ever happened. Think about it. What good wille from crossing me? Nathaniel is dumb and blind. He can’t protect you anymore. should find a stronger backer.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">You</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia rested her chin on her hand, continuing to eat.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Seeing that neither threats nor bribes were working, Adrian decided to make a surprise move, hoping to catch Cecilia off</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Just then, a tall figure emerged from an inner room. The man’s imposing presence immediately made Adrian freeze in ce.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Nathaniel, you’re not you’re not a fool!” Adrian stammered.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel’s sharp gaze fell on him. “Of course not.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He added, “And I’m not blind either!”</font></font>N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Back when Nathaniel was blind, he had once thrown Adrian into a freezing pool, nearly killing him. Now Nathaniel had regained his eyesight and his intelligence</font></font>


    Adrian’s legs gave way, and he copsed to the ground, his eyes filled with despair.


    “How could this be?” His face turned pale,


    Nathaniel walked up to him step by step. “Adrian, have I been too lenient with you? How dare you mess with Cecilia?”


    Adrian’s entire body shook


    “Nathaniel, listen to me. I did this with your best interest in mind.”


    “Thinking of my best interest?” Nathaniel nearlyughed at the absurdity. “How exactly did you do that?”


    “Well, recently, you’ve been pretending to be a fool. I was worried others might bully Cecilia and her child, so I thought I’d help you take care of them,” Adrian said, grasping at straws.


    Nathaniel almost expected a better lie from him.


    Running out of patience, he turned to the bodyguards. “I heard Adrian has arge pack of shepherd dogs?”
