When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him Novel

Chapter 737 Growing Displeasure

Cecilia refused without hesitation, “Please tell Mom that we just got back and haven’t had at proper rest. It’s not convenient for us to come over.”

Given Nathaniel’s current condition, who knew what trouble might arise if they went to Rainsworth Manor.

“Okay then,” Cassandra replied, not pressing further.

She relayed Cecilia’s words to Elena, adding a few embellishments.

Elena was already holding a grudge against Cecilia for abandoning her children and going abroad. She grew even more displeased when she heard the refusal.

“She thinks she can do whatever she wants now. Who does she think she is?”

Cassandra tried to calm her down. “Mom, don’t get upset. Cecilia is always like this. Just the other day, she was forcing my stepmother and the Evans family to repay some money.”

“Repay what money?”

“The money that belonged to her father. She somehow forged a will saying the Smith family’s assets should have originally gone to her.”

Hearing this, Elena became even more disgusted with Cecilia. Still, she knew Cassandra’s stepmother, Paula, wasn’t a good person either.

“Since you’re already engaged to Nicholas, keep your distance from Paula, She’s no good.”

Cassandra nodded. “Yes.”

“By the way, Nicholas said something seemed off with Nathaniel when he returned. He even called several doctors that night. Cecilia didn’t let him come over. Should we go check on him?”

Nicholas had always been in contact with Ethan, so he knew Nathaniel had gone abroad.

He deliberately leaked this information to Cassandra, hoping she would find out what was going on with Nathaniel.

“What?”

Elena became anxious when she heard that something had happened to Nathaniel. “We should go see him right away.”

“Okay.”

That evening, Cecilia was having dinner with Elliot when Elena barged in with Cassandra.

Elena glanced around the room. Not seeing Nathaniel, she began to panic. “Where’s Nathaniel?”

Cecilia didn’t expect them to come looking for him and lied, “He hasn’t returned from work yet.”

In front of the younger generation, Elena didn’t show her displeasure. She picked up her phone. to call Nathaniel, but the call couldn’t connect.

At the hospital, Zachary had turned off his phone to prevent any acquaintances from contacting him as he was concerned that Nathaniel’s condition might worsen.

“Why isn’t he answering?”

Cassandra stepped forward and said to Cecilia, “Cecilia, Mom already knows about Nathaniel’s condition. Just tell us where you’ve hidden him.”

“What do you mean by ‘hidden‘? He’s a grown man. Do you think I can hide him?” Cecilia shot. her an annoyed look.

Cassandra didn’t get angry. “Don’t blame me for revealing the truth then.”

Cecilia had no idea what “truth” Cassandra was about to reveal.

Next, Cassandra said, “I have a classmate at Erihal who saw you with Calvin. Nathaniel got hurt at Erihal because of you two.”

The fact that Nathaniel had been injured at Erihal was something Ethan from the Murdock. family had long known and had passed on to Nicholas, which is why Cassandra knew so much.

Hearing this, Cecilia laughed.

“You have a lot of classmates, huh? Most importantly, they know me?”

Cassandra realized her story wasn’t holding up well.

However, Elena latched onto the critical point in her words. “Nathaniel got hurt because of you and another man while abroad? Where is he now?”

Her voice rose.

Elliot stepped forward. “Grandma, are you here to gang up on my mommy?”

Seeing the little one in front of her, Elena’s expression softened immediately. “Elliot, listen to me. Let me explain.”

Cassandra was stunned. She had brought Elena here to confront Cecilia. How could they let Cecilia off just because of this little brat?
