When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1052 Exchanged Glances

The people of the Escobar family exchanged glances before apologizing to Cecilia and Vivian.

“Ceci. I’m sorry. Please forgive us. We’re old, and we don’t understand much.”

“Yes, we were foolish. We’re sorry.”

“Miss, we beg your forgiveness. Rest assured, we will cover all your medical expenses.”

Those people were all apologizing in a flurry, yet how sincere they truly were, only they themselves knew.

Vivian gently tugged at Cecilia’s hand. “Ceci, what do you think we should do?”

Cecilia had already devised a plan for dealing with those people. She said, “Since they’ve admitted their mistakes, we should let this slide.”

“All right. Seeing that Cecilia wasn’t holding a grudge, Vivian agreed, “Don’t you all dare bully people. because of your power in the future.”

“Of course, of course.”

-Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they had dodged a bullet. Little did they know, Cecilia had already planned how to deal with them in his mind.

After all, they were in a mourning hall, and with the potential arrival of reporters, it wouldn’t be good if some matters were blown out of proportion.

At the time, not all of Paula’s relatives, as well as some members of the Smith family, had arrived. Therefore, it wasn’t appropriate for Cecilia to reveal the truth yet.

While Cecilia found a place to rest, Vivian sought out Zachary. “Thanks for today.”

Zachary’s eyes were fixed on her. “How did you know to seek my help?”Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Vivian choked up, wanting to say it was because he was the only influential and powerful person she knew. “I was thinking since you and Nathaniel are friends, there’s no way you would ignore Ceci.”

Zachary scoffed, “That’s true, but why didn’t you turn to Ernest? Perhaps he could enlighten everyone with. some legal knowledge if he were here. You’re injured, and Ernest is such a formidable lawyer. It should be quite easy for him to put them behind bars, don’t you think?”

Vivian felt an overwhelming urge to punch him upon listening to him talking about Ernest sarcastically. “Ernest and I have been history for a while now. Could you please not joke abo him when there’s no need?”

The initial statement pleased Zachary, but the following one irritated him again. Why can’t I mention Ernest? Is it because there’s still a place for him in her heart?

“You said it’s all in the past, but didn’t Ernest dare to lay a hand on me last time, even telling you not to marry me?” Zachary questioned.

Vivian hadn’t expected him to hold a grudge for so long: “Why are you being so petty? You should have said so earlier if you don’t want to come. Don’t act like I begged you to come.

“I’ve touched a nerve, haven’t I? You seem quite upset.”

Vivian slapped Zachary’s arm. “You’re quite handsome when you keep quiet.

After she finished speaking, she turned around to look for Cecilia,

The spot where she had hit Zachary tingled.

He slightly furrowed his brows. What did she mean by that? Am I less handsome when I talk?

Zachary was feeling somewhat bored, standing off to the side all by himself.

that moment, a figure approached his vicinity. “Mr. Sinclair, has my brother been doing well recently?”

thành

Nicholas. He spoke while leaning against the railing with a deep and inscrutable look. It was

impossible for anyone to decipher his thoughts.

When Zachary met Nicholas‘ eyes, he thought they were identical to Nathaniel’s. However, whenever they were meeting face to face, he could sense a distinct difference between the two.

“How would I know anything about Nathaniel? If you’re looking for him, you should probably call him,” Zachary replied nonchalantly.

Two days ago, Nathaniel underwent surgery and still hadn’t regained consciousness.

Zachary believed that, if Nicholas learned that fact, it probably wouldn’t be a good thing.
