When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 2122

Hearing the chatter, Magnus decided it was best not to continue harassing Jason. He pointed at him and said, "We're even now. Be more sensible in the future, and consider this a lesson."

He then tossed the bloody, broken wine bottle aside.

Knowing that he couldn't linger, Magnus turned to leave.

At that moment, a figure blocked his path.

A clear, pleasant voice rang out in front of him. "You hit someone, and you think you can just leave?"

Magnus looked over and only now realized Chelsea had appeared before him without him knowing.

"Chelse—" he called out.

Chelsea interrupted him coldly, "Mr. Smith, you should call me Ms. Rainsworth. We're not that close."

Chelsea might have been unsure if Magnus harbored ill intentions toward her before, but she was completely sure of it now. Magnus injured Jason precisely because Jason ruined his plans last time.

Magnus hadn't expected Chelsea to come over and stumble across the whole incident, much less stand up for Jason. "Chelsea... No, Ms. Rainsworth, this is all a misunderstanding."

"What misunderstanding?" Chelsea retorted. "What misunderstanding justifies you injuring him so severely?"

Naturally, Magnus dared not state the reason. "Ms. Rainsworth, this is a private matter of mine. I have no need to tell you about it."

Hearing this, Chelsea stood in front of Jason and said to Magnus, "Of course, I don't care about your private matters, but this private matter of yours has affected my friend."

Friend? Jason, standing behind Chelsea, was stunned. He couldn't believe his ears at all.

Chelsea continued, "Jason is my friend, and you hit him in front of me today. Don't you think I should intervene?"

"You hit someone. How can you leave without apologizing? Do you want me to call the police?" Chelsea challenged.

Magnus was instantly speechless, not knowing what to say.

Chelsea insisted, "Apologize now, or I'm making the phone call."

Magnus' feelings were conflicted, but when he saw Chelsea pull out her phone, he quickly said impatiently, "I'm sorry."

He and Denise were about to get married, so he couldn't afford to get into trouble.

"There. Can I go now?" Magnus forcefully pushed Chelsea aside. With a gloomy face, he walked through the crowd.
