When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1734

Chapter 1734 Help Me Up
“All right, let's head back,” Stella finally instructed the driver to leave once more.

On their way out, the assistant was somewhat puzzled. “Stella, was that Ms. Evans outside just now?”

Stella looked at her. “You must act as if you've seen nothing about this matter, and you can't tell anyone.”

The assistant became even more confused.

We just saw Cassandra outside a restaurant. Why do I have to pretend I didn't see anything and can't tell anyone about it?

Stella didn't offer any explanation. Although she was aware that Cecilia was bound to face some kind of ordeal, she had no intention of sharing this with anyone.

Deep down, she still wished for Cecilia's demise.

She resented Cecilia. Cecilia could have it all, while despite her own relentless efforts, she ended up with nothing.

She couldn't accept that Cecilia's fate was better than her own.

Only after Cecilia passed away could she finally find peace, marking the true end to everything.

Stella closed her eyes and dozed off into a light sleep.

At Jamieson Group, Scorpius passed by Cecilia's office several times, but it was always empty. Even Cecilia's assistant and secretary, who usually followed her around, were nowhere to be seen.

He asked a secretary, “Where's Ms. Cecilia?”

The secretary hurriedly answered, “Ms. Cecilia received a call from Mr. Wacian. He mentioned wanting to discuss a potential collaboration over a meal at a nearby restaurant, so she's left already.”

Mr. Wacian?

After some thought, Scorpius remembered how Wacian used to hold Cassandra in high regard. Their relationship had been particularly close.

What could have caused him to transfer his loyalty to Cecilia?

Scorpius felt an inexplicable unease. “Give me Mr. Wacian's phone number.”

“Sure.”

The secretary did as told.

Scorpius made a call, but there was no answer on the other end.
