Chapter 1242_When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1242 The Scandal

 “Why are you still awake at this hour?”

 Nathaniel had been brooding all day, unsure whether Cecilia had indeed met up with Eric that afternoon. When he saw a call from Elliot, he was somewhat stirred, but he managed to keep his emotions in check.

 “Isn’t it because you always act foolishly, constantly making Mommy angry, to the extent that I have to step in and lend a hand?” Elliot said with a pout.

 After hearing the response, Nathaniel immediately asked him, “Your mom, was she still angry when she went home?”

 “So, you want to know why Mommy was upset, why she wouldn’t remarry you?” Elliot teased

 “Tell me, and I’ll buy whatever you want for you,” Nathaniel immediately said.

 Elliot let out a yawn. “I don’t desire things that can be bought with money. As the man of the house, it’s my duty to keep Mommy happy. Let me tell you a secret. You need to be treat Mommy better. She doesn’t feel secure with you, do you understand?”

 Elliot wasn’t sure if his words would make any sense to his clueless father.

 However, he had said all he could. As for what Nathaniel would do, it was entirely up to him.

 Nathaniel wanted to ask something else, but Elliot interrupted with a big yawn, stating, “I’m tired. I need to sleep now.”

 With that, he ended the call.

 Nathaniel was deep in thought over what Elliot had said. He knew he needed to treat Cecilia better, but he wasn’t sure how to win her back.

 The very next morning, Cecilia was awakened by Charlotte.

 “Boss, we’ve a problem.”

 Rubbing her eyes, Cecilia was visibly exhausted, as her sleep was clearly interrupted. “What’s happened?” she asked.

 Charlotte took out her phone and showed it to Cecilia.

 Upon seeing the news content on the phone, Cecilia was instantly wide awake.

 The trending news headlines revealed that the renownedposer, Cecilia, post–divorce, had shamelessly seduced a married man.

 The post even included an apanying image; it was indeed a picture of Cecilia supporting Nichs on their way to the hospital. However, from the picture itself, one couldn’t tell it was a hospital. It seemed like the image had been maliciously edited and cropped.

 The news didn’t mention that the man was Nichs; it simply stated that he was married.

 Cecilia slightly furrowed her brows. “This photo was taken when I was helping Nichs to the hospital. I

 She was experiencing a bit of a headache at the moment.

 Upon hearing this, Charlotte couldn’t help but curse, “These media outlets are so good at twisting the truth. They use you of things that clearly never happened.”

 She then stood up in anger. “I’m going to confront them right now!”

 “Hold on,” Cecilia stopped her. “I think there’s more to this than meets the eye. I’m not some big celebrity, nor have I offended the mainstream media. Why would they all be covering my activities?”

 Cecilia showed Charlotte thements. “Look, manyizens in thesements still don’t know who I

 As aposer, she wasn’t as famous as a celebrity.

 Even news about Cassandra would attract more attention than hers. This could only mean one thing- someone was deliberately paying for trending spots and bribing the media to tarnish her image.Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.

 After hearing what Cecilia had to say, Charlotte also calmed down. “You’re right, it seems like these media. outlets have an ulterior motive.”

 “Who would want to harm you, though?” Charlotte pondered out loud.

 After some thought, Cecilia realized there were only a possible few–Cassandra, Miranda, and Adrian.

 “Let’s not worry about the news. We should head to work.”

 “Are we just going to let them falsely use you like this?” Charlotte felt a bit indignant.

 Cecilia knew that even if she went online to rify things now, it would be futile. However, she wouldn’t just sit back and do nothing.

 “Lottie, how about you take a day off today and head to the hospital to check the surveince footage? Ideally, we need a video of me and Ms. Wright helping Nichs.”
