When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1999

“How do we do that?” James furrowed his brows. “They're behaving like mad dogs now. Not only do they want to return the goods, but even the items they bought a long time ago are also receiving negative reviews.”

Jonah let out a sigh. “What else can we do? We can only publicly apologize.”

That afternoon, the two of them held a press conference, publicly releasing an apology video online.

“Dear netizens, we apologize for the embarrassing incident. We owe an apology to all of you, as well as to Ms. Cecilia Smith. We take the blame for failing to properly supervise our mother, which led to the negative public opinion...”

After they apologized, the netizens' mood eased up a bit.

Someone posted: The foolishness of that old woman has caused her sons to take the blame.

Another person wrote: Fortunately, her sons are sensible, unlike she who's relentlessly bothersome.

A netizen responded: You guys are so gullible. Do you think the old woman's sons would have stepped up if this issue hadn't escalated?

Another netizen wrote: Exactly. When Old Mrs. Escobar first started condemning Cecilia online, and when we joined in the criticism, where were her two sons? Their absence was largely due to their interests being unaffected. Now that their interests have been rattled, that's why they're apologizing.

There were many sharp-eyed individuals among the netizens.

After everyone had shared their insights, it turned out their analysis was indeed correct.

If it hadn't been for the collective outrage of the netizens who discovered the truth, James and Jonah would never have apologized to Cecilia. They were actually hoping that Cecilia would continue to support the Escobar family unconditionally, just like how she did with Paula.

Even Eloise Escobar, James' daughter, thought the same way.

A few days ago, she was still flaunting her power around the company, yet today she found herself being criticized by others.

“Eloise, didn't you mention that you often bullied Cecilia before? The things your grandmother did were real, weren't they?”

Eloise frowned. “Regardless, my grandmother is her elder. Is that any way to treat someone of seniority?”

What does Cecilia amount to? Back when she was at my home, she was nothing more than a punching bag, even less valued than a housekeeper. Dad is apologizing to her now?
