Chapter 1019 The Shocking News

At that time, Cecilia was eager to find out if Nathaniel was okay.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel had already moved into Seabay Villa, and he couldn’t sleep. His mind was filled with the events of that day’s divorce.

The familiar ring of the phone sounded, causing him to hesitate.

He had set a special ringtone for Cecilia’s calls so that he could recognize it immediately whenever Cecilia. called.

Nathaniel hesitated, unsure whether to answer or not.

Cecilia was extremely anxious, terrified that something bad had truly happened to him.

Finally, when the last ring sounded, the other end of the line picked up.

“What’s the matter?”

Nathaniel’s familiar, icy voice echoed from the other side.

Cecilia’s heart, once taut with worry, eased slightly. She feigned strength and said, “Nothing’s wrong. I was just calling to see if you were able to sleep.”

A tightening sensation gripped Nathaniel’s throat.

“Had you not called, I would have been sleeping soundly.”

This remark was infuriating enough to drive someone to their wits end. Clutching her phone tightly. Cecilia remained silent.

After a prolonged silence, she abruptly ended the call. She then hid herself under the covers and closed her eyes, trying to force herself to sleep.

Nathaniel was then living well and still as infuriating as ever, allowing Cecilia to finally sleep peacefully.

Over at Seabay Villa, Nathaniel hadn’t heard anything from Cecilia for a while, realizing then that she had hung up the phone.

He held his phone for a long time before finally setting it aside.

Over at Orion Corporation, most of the Rainsworth family members found out about the divorce between Cecilia and Nathaniel that day.

Miranda, of course, was aware of the situation. She made her way to Cecilia’s office and confronted her, saying. “You and Nathaniel are already divorced. How dare you stay here?”

Upon hearing her words, Cecilia looked up at her unhesitatingly retorting, “My mother–in–law insisted that I stay in Orion Corporation. If you have any objections, feel free to take it up with her.”

Elena’s reputation still held sway, leaving Miranda momentarily at a loss for words.

Thus, she returned in a fit of anger.

Jessica tugged at the hem of her dress and said, “Miranda, Aunt Elena is only keeping her around because of her pregnancy and those twins. Aunt Elena isn’t on her side. Once she has given birth, Aunt Eleria will kick Cecilia out of the Rainsworth family.”

Miranda understood this principle, yet she couldn’t help but worry, Cecilia hasn’t just bewitched Nathaniel but also Nicholas. Now that the two are divorced, there’s a chance that Nicholas might step in. The notion of a younger brother courting his former sister–in–law isn’t unheard of. It has happened throughout history and across cultures.

*Cassandra, don’t take it the wrong way that I didn’t warn you after the favor you did for me last time. Cecilia is no good, you know. Look at her. Even with her ruined face, she’s managed to keep Nathaniel hopelessly devoted to her for all these years.”

As of late, Cassandra had been assisting her father, Ralph, with the division of his marital assets. Her mind was sent reeling when she heard the sudden news of Cecilia’s divorce.

As a woman, she understood better than anyone just how extraordinary her fiancé’s feelings were toward Cecilia.
