When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 928

Chapter 928 Follow Your Orders
Mason was just about to report this matter to Nathaniel. “Boss, Francis is kneeling at the gate of Daltonia Villa. He claims to have had no knowledge of what Ethan did. He also says that as long as you show him mercy, he will obey your orders from now on.”

Nathaniel knew things couldn't be that simple, but they hadn't uncovered anything else.

“Since Ethan isn't willing to say more, there's no need to press further.”

“Understood.”

Mason grasped Nathaniel's meaning.

There was no reason to keep Ethan around.

“What about Francis then?”

Nathaniel wasn't ready to be ruthless yet. Besides, he knew Francis was a timid man, only interested in women.

“Let him stay.”

“Yes.”

At Daltonia Villa, Cecilia was resting on the couch, when Jessica mentioned that the third son of the Murdock family had been kneeling outside, begging for forgiveness.

Jessica asked Cecilia, “Has Stella been caught yet?”

She vividly remembered how Stella had stomped on her injured leg with those high heels.

Cecilia opened her eyes. “Probably not. I'm not the police. How would I know?”

Her dismissive response made Jessica quite displeased.

“What do you mean, 'probably not'?”

Jessica deliberately stirred things up. “Cecilia, Stella is your love rival! Have you forgotten how arrogant she was when we were both kidnapped?”

Cecilia glanced at her. “I haven't forgotten, but what can we do about it?”

Jessica was momentarily stunned.

“You should have Nathaniel find someone to capture Stella and teach her a lesson!”

Cecilia deliberately declined. “No, I think the main culprit in this plot to harm us was the Murdock family. As you said, Stella was just hiding behind the Murdock family. Let's not waste our energy on such a petty person.”

Jessica never expected Cecilia to suddenly become a saint and decide to let Stella off the hook.

“Cecilia...”

Of course, Cecilia understood her intentions—Jessica wanted to use her and Nathaniel to exact revenge.

Having been a malicious mother for so long, Paula now regretted her actions and wanted to make amends, but didn't know how to begin.

After a long pause, Paula finally spoke. “I sent you something. Have you received it?”

“What is it?” Cecilia asked, puzzled.

Hearing Cecilia's confusion, Paula realized that she hadn't received the package yet, so she decided to keep her in suspense.

“You'll know once it arrives.”

“Anything else?” Cecilia's tone was particularly cold.

Paula hesitated. “No, nothing else.”

“Goodbye, then.”

Cecilia abruptly ended the call.

Paula stared at the disconnected line, disappointment filling her eyes.

Meanwhile, the security guard had already brought in the package.
