Chapter 1298 Not In The Mood For Mercy

 The man, who had been full of bravado moments earlier, suddenly fell silent, his arrogance gone. His wife, who had already been irritated with him, saw this as the perfect moment to twist the knife.

 “Did you hear that?” she asked bitterly. “That’s what a responsible man looks like. The CEO of a majorpany is here with his wife for a check–up. What about you?”

 The man, now thoroughly embarrassed, lowered his head, hiding from his phone.

 Meanwhile, outside the hospital, Cecilia found the whole situation amusing. Who would’ve thought Nathaniel would be mistaken for a toy boy?

 As they got into the car, she gave him a teasing look. With that face, he does have the potential to be a toy boy.

 Nathaniel’s expression darkened slightly. “Do I really look like someone who lives off others?”

 Ceciliaughed softly. “Of course not.”

 “Then why did youugh just now?”

 Throughout his life, there were few who had ever dared to suggest that Nathaniel was a freeloader, and it clearly rubbed him the wrong way.

 Cecilia pressed her lips together, trying to stop herself fromughing again. “Is this better?”

 Nathaniel rxed, his stern features softening as he nced over at her. “Never mind. You should smile more–it suits you.”

 It had been so long since he’d seen her this lighthearted, and he wasn’t about to spoil the moment. Cecilia’s smile, however, quickly faded as she leaned her head on his shoulder.

 “I’m not in the mood to smile anymore,” she said, closing her eyes.

 Nathaniel gently pulled her closer, and she didn’t resist. She settledfortably against him, dozing off for a brief nap as they drove.

 When they arrived at thepany, Nathaniel was ready to follow her inside, but Cecilia stopped him firmly.

 Reluctantly, Nathaniel stayed behind, watching as she made her way into the office alone, Inside, Charlotte and the others quickly gathered around her, curious and concerned.

 “I’m fine,” Cecilia reassured them. “I just fainted because of a little oxygen deprivation. Nothing serious.”

 Charlotte frowned in confusion. “Why would there suddenly be ack of oxygen?”

 Cecilia’s face flushed. How could she possibly exin what had actually happened?

 After a brief, awkward silence, Lucille stepped forward, offering a usible exnation. “Maybe the office is too stuffy? Poor air cirction could cause that.”

 Grateful for the save, Cecilia quickly nodded. “Right. That’s probably it.”

 it doesn’t happen again,” Charlotte said, taking the initiative.

 Cecilia found it hard to refuse, so she smiled and nodded. “Thanks, I appreciate that.”

 Charlotte immediately arranged for someone to handle it.

 With most of Evans Group’s business handled, Cecilia felt it was time to head home and rest.

 While Cecilia was resting, Ralph and Cassandra were facing their own troubles.

 Cassandra, pale but defiant, tried to maintain herposure. “Mason, you know who backs me, right? Even Nathaniel has to give some respect to my mother Queenie. What do you think you’re doing. cornering my father and me like this?”

 Several hours had passed since they were cornered, yet Mason showed no sign of letting them go. At Cassandra’s words, Mason let out a coldugh.

 “If it weren’t for Queenie, and the fact that you’re carrying a Rainsworth child, you’d both be dead by now.”

 Cassandra’s bravado faltered, and she nced at Ralph, unsure of what to say next.Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.

 Ralph, tugging at her sleeve, muttered, “Enough, Cassandra.”

 Cassandra bit her lip, falling silent as she slumped down in a state of despair.

 Mason, growing tired of the charade, gave his orders. “Drag this old fool out. Just make sure he doesn’t die.”

 Ralph, already bruised from a previous beating, panicked. “Please, spare me!” he begged. “I realize I made a mistake. I beg you, just let me go!”

 But Mason wasn’t in the mood for mercy. As the bodyguards advanced, Ralph clung desperately to Cassandra. “Cassandra, please, help me! I’m too old to endure this.”

 Seeing the scene unfold, Cassandra snapped, “Release my father immediately. That’s an order!”

 Even now, she’s still giving orders?

 Mason couldn’t help butugh.
