When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 601

Chapter 601 What Did I See In Him
The answer took Cecilia by surprise.

Vivian informed Cecilia that Ernest sought her out to tell her not to marry Zachary.

Naturally, she didn't listen to Ernest. During their argument, Ernest kissed her against her will.

As luck would have it, Zachary witnessed the scene and immediately rushed over, throwing a punch at Ernest. Yet, Ernest was not one to back down easily. The two of them started brawling right then and there.

Cecilia frowned. “What on earth does Ernest want? Hasn't he already gotten married? Why is he stopping you from getting married and even treated you like that? What a sc*mbag.”

Vivian nodded. “Yeah, I was so mad at him that I hoped I could tear him into pieces.”

She leaned back in her chair, taking a deep breath and laughing self-deprecatingly. “I really don't know what I saw in him. Maybe it was his good looks. I've never seen a man as pretty as him.”

Cecilia thought Zachary's looks was on par with Ernest's.

However, Vivian didn't take a liking to Zachary. It was simply a matter of vibe.

“I'm going crazy, Ceci,” Vivian said, hugging Cecilia.

Cecilia patted her shoulder. “Vivian, think it through. Don't do something you'll regret.”

She knew that everyone had their own path. Others could only serve as guiding lights and couldn't travel the journey for them.

“Yeah, I know.”

Vivian sent Cecilia home, asking along the way, “Ceci, do you think I'm foolish? If I hadn't stopped Zachary just now, Ernest might've been dead already. I spotted Zachary's bodyguards following him.”

Cecilia shook her head. “Don't do things that go against your conscience. That's all that matters.”

“All right.”

Vivian got back into her car, waving goodbye to Cecilia.

Matters of the heart are often beyond one's control. Despite knowing it wasn't right, Vivian couldn't help showing kindness and mercy toward Ernest, who had hurt her.

When Cecilia returned to Daltonia Villa, Nathaniel had yet to come home.

She glanced at the time; it was already nine in the evening. She wondered what Nathaniel might be doing at this hour.

Unbeknownst to her, all this was short-lived, a brief moment of glory. It wouldn't be long before Nathaniel would bring about Eric's downfall.

In the building of Imminence Corporation, Mason informed Nathaniel that most businesses in Tudela united, fearful of Imminence Corporation capitalizing on their vulnerability, seizing the chance to acquire them.

Nathaniel expressed his disdain. “Let's put the other acquisition plans on hold for now.” Pausing, he added, “We'll focus on dealing with Leighton Group.”

Leighton Group was Miranda's maternal family's business.

What Nathaniel said in Rainsworth Manor was not merely empty talk.

“Also, Adrian's organizing a group purchase, right?”

Mason nodded. “Yes.”

“Have someone initiate a group purchase and take over the entire market within a month with the lowest prices.”

Nathaniel was never short of money. Adrian's minor tricks were so insignificant that they wouldn't last ten days, let alone a month.
