When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1887

Chapter 1887 I Am Resigning
Nathaniel kept a close watch on Nicholas and Robert, knowing their every move. Still, he chose not to step in. He wanted to see for himself what exactly they were planning.

The next day, a team of tax auditors showed up at Imminence Corporation.

Mason frowned. “They're really going all out to drag you into this. But what's in it for them if Imminence Corporation ends up in trouble?”

He couldn't wrap his head around it—especially when it came to Nicholas. They were brothers, after all. It was puzzling why Nicholas would go so far as to scheme against his own sibling.

Sure enough, the audit revealed problems in the company's books—illegal fund transfers and other irregularities. But none of it was real.

Still, despite everything, Nathaniel, as the company's legal representative, was taken away for questioning.

Before he left, he told Mason, “Tell Ceci not to worry about me.”

Mason nodded firmly.

But even if Mason hadn't said anything, Cecilia would have learned about it soon enough.

The media ran wild with the story during the press conference. Sure enough, while at work, Cecilia saw the news herself. She was shaken and upset. “How did this happen?”

Then, a call came from Elena. “What happened to Nathaniel, Ceci?” she asked.

Cecilia wasn't sure. She shook her head. “I don't know either. I just saw the news. Don't worry—I'll ask Mason.”

“All right.” With that, Elena ended the call. She had just finalized her divorce with Wren. Now was not the time for anything to happen to their son.

Soon after, Mason called Cecilia. He told her the truth and assured her that they had everything under control. Only then did Cecilia feel somewhat relieved.

Still, Mason added, “Let's hold off on telling Mdm. Elena, for now.”

“All right,” came Cecilia's response. With Nicholas involved, she understood the need for caution.

Once all was said and done, Mason ended the call.
