Chapter 1309 Eric Joining Ceci Corporation
Queenie had a lengthy phone conversation with Nathaniel, deciding to join forces topletely shut down all operations of Imminent Corporation. On the other hand, when Nathaniel received this news, he was not the least bit perturbed.
"Let''s see who can hold out longer," he muttered.
Having spent many years with Nathaniel, Mason was ustomed to crises like this and felt no fear.
However, there was something he feltpelled to share with Nathaniel. "Mr. Rainsworth, Eric has received the penalty fee and settled his payment."
Nathaniel furrowed his brow, looking up at Mason. "Didn''t you say you investigated all his assets, including those of his parents? It''s impossible for him to produce such arge amount."
Mason was somewhat surprised by this oversight. "I must admit, it''s something I overlooked. I didn''t expect it."
Nathaniel didn''t me him; he was in a good mood that day. "Reflect on your actions and make sure this doesn''t happen again in the future."
"Understood, Mr. Rainsworth." Only then did Mason leave.
Meanwhile, Cassandra had been particrly troubled ofte. Not only was Queenie treating her with increasing indifference, but she could only watch as Cecilia took over the Evans family''s business without being able to do anything about it. Ralph was still hospitalized, and no major media outlets dared to report on the incident, primarily out of fear of offending Nathaniel.
"I don''t understand why the media would be afraid of someone who doesn''t even own apany," Cassandramented.
Riley, sitting beside her, tried tofort her. "Nathaniel''s influence in Tud is deep-seated and profound. Even now, his lingering impact can still be felt."
Cassandra sighed. "What has Nichs been up totely?"
She had once thought that after their marriage, she and Nichs would grow closer, but now she realized that nothing had changed from before they tied the knot. Nichs showed no interest in apanying her, making her feel as if she were still single and alone.
"Mr. Nichs basically spends all his days at thepany now. Sometimes he doesn''t even return to Rainsworth Manor," Riley replied, shaking her head.
"He didn''t go meet that b*tch, did he?" Cassandra asked again.
Cassandra heaved a sigh of relief before taking out her phone.
As she was scrolling, she came across a news headline: Superstar Eric had signed a coboration agreement with Ceci Corporation, bing thepany''s leading star.
"Ceci Corporation?" The name
echoed in Cassandra''s mind, feeling
oddly familiar. She decided to do a little digging, only to discover that the legal representative of Ceci Corporation was none other than Cecilia. N?velDrama.Org owns this text.

She clicked to read the news again, and as expected, it rified that the rumors circting in the media were all misunderstandings. Cecilia and Eric were merely engaged in business negotiations, with
no
romantic involvement whatsoever.
Realization instantly dawned on theizens. Onementer noted: So it turns out that someone with ulterior motives twisted the situation. I wondered how a big star like Eric would end up with Cecilia, aposer.
Another person echoed: Exactly!
Cecilia may be attractive andpetent, but she''s already a mother of two. And don''t forget what Cecilia mentioned
earlie she''s married to Natha et
who is her legitimate husband.
When Nathaniel was at his peak, no celebrity couldpete with him.
Someone else defended Eric: Hey, Eric is not that bad too, okay...
Netizens began to engage in heated exchanges. Nevertheless, such arguments did not hinder Eric''s joining Ceci Corporation; in fact, it served as publicity for the event. Cassandra gripped her phone tightly. "Darn it! How on earth did Cecilia manage to sign Eric? And it''s a lifetime contract. Are you kidding me?"
Riley couldn''t provide an answer either.
Simrly, Mason was also at his wit''s end.
He showed the news to Nathaniel. "I believe Mrs. Rainsworth was the one who paid off Eric''s penalty."
