When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 2295

Wren frowned.

"That's someone else's family business. What's there to see?"

Elena fired back without giving him an inch.

"Didn't you say your brother was family? Now that something's happened in his house, how did it suddenly turn into someone else's family?"

That hit Wren cleanly.

He choked on his own words and couldn't say a thing after that.

Standing off to the side, Cecilia looked a little embarrassed.

Luckily, Nathaniel spoke up.

"If you want to see, then go take a look. We're concerned about Robert's family too."

He paused, then said, "We can't let Uncle Robert's family do something stupid in the heat of it."

Miranda and Julian had both been dragged back here. If this kept boiling over, there was no telling what Robert and the others might do.

The second Wren heard that, he got it. He nodded right away.

"You're right. We really should go take a look."

He was worried about his older brother too.

Elsewhere.

Robert's house

Miranda and Julian both looked wrecked as they knelt on the floor.

They had obviously already been beaten. Injuries covered them from head to toe.

Robert sat in the seat of honor, his eyes cold enough to cut.

"Miranda, did the Rainsworth family ever treat you badly? How could you do something that shameless?" he asked.

Red handprints covered Miranda's face. Adrian had slapped her more than once while he stood off to the side.

"Dad, why are you stopping me? Let me beat this bitch to death!" Adrian snapped.

Adrian's mouth shut on the spot.

Robert stopped paying attention to him and walked over to Miranda, one step at a time.

Miranda put on a blank look, like she had no idea what he was talking about.

"When I was sick those past few days, I clearly handed everything at the company over to you, and now you're denying it?" Robert's brow tightened. "Fine. Deny it if you want. I have plenty of ways to make you admit it."

Miranda didn't take him seriously at all.

"Sure. Then go ahead and think of one."

While they were locked in that standoff, a servant hurried in.
