When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 2244

Fury blazing, Miranda dabbed Felix's cheeks with a tissue. "Quit crying—look at you, spineless."

Silenced by her rebuke, Felix clamped his lips shut.

"They dared lay a hand on you. I'll make them pay," she vowed.

Inside, Miranda decided Cecilia's children needed a lesson.

Since Old Mr. Rainsworth's death, their main branch had been pushed aside; every relative now flattered the second branch.

All because Nathaniel had seized Rainsworth Group.

He had even folded the firm into his own Imminence Corporation.

Who knew what tricks he used, stuffing Rainsworth assets into Imminence.

The thought made Miranda's resentment boil hotter.

Felix nodded again and again.

Back home, Miranda went straight to find Robert.

The study smelled of fresh ink.

Robert, practicing calligraphy, heard his grandson had been bullied and frowned, though without Miranda's petty fury.

His brush paused, then glided on as he spoke calmly:

"Children scuffle. Don't overthink it."

"But Dad, if Felix lets this slide, the second branch will think we're easy targets," Miranda argued.

Robert finished a final stroke and looked up.

"You're far too impatient, Miranda."

She knew he was right and lowered her gaze.
