When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1152 Teach Cecilia A Lesson

Life in wealthy families was always full of drama. Apart from Adrian, Nathaniel’s uncle had another son, though both were currently working abroad at the overseas branch of Orion Corporation.

This situation was largely due to Nathaniel’s firm and decisive actions in the past. Without his intervention, his uncle and cousin might not have left so easily.

Recently, Cecilia had noticed some unease within Orion Corporation. She suspected that Nathaniel’s uncle and his associates were plotting a return.

As Cecilia entered the house, the housekeepers quickly fell silent, stopping their gossip, but once she passed, they resurned their chatter. “She does have a soft spot for Nathaniel. She’d always be the first to return home to care for him every day and the last to leave”

“Maybe it’s because of his good looks. He might have become a fool, but he’s still a handsome man.”

Though Cecilia wore a hearing aid, she didn’t catch their comments. Had she overheard the housekeepers‘ wild imaginings, she would have probably burst into laughter.

Originally, Cecilia had wanted to inquire about Adrian’s situation, but now she had a clearer picture of what had unfolded.

Meanwhile, Adrian’s life was in chaos. Miranda had declared that if the five hundred million couldn’t be recovered, she would divorce him.

Adrian tried to console her, but his thoughts were elsewhere. Knowing that Cecilia had returned, he was eager to confront her and reclaim the money.

Determined, he made up his mind. if Cecilia dares to pull any more tricks, I’ll teach her a lesson on the spot!

As soon as Cecilia returned, she sought out Elena, accompanying her in arranging flowers.

Elena treated her remarkably well at that time. She even personally taught her step by step.

Mr. Adrian ha

“Mdm. Elena, Mr. Adrian has arrived. He says he’s looking for Ce… Mrs. Rainsworth, a housekeeper said.

“What for?” Elena found it a bit odd.

The housekeeper shook his head.

Cecilia wondered. “Is it because of what happened with Miranda?”

Elena felt it was highly possible. She then instructed the housekeeper, “Tell him that I ask him to leave.”

“Noted” The housekeeper turned and left.

Adrian found himself at a loss, but he wasn’t ready to give in. Instead, he lingered in a secluded corner, plotting to confront Cecilia as soon as she came out of the room.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Unbeknownst to him, eyes were watching from the shadows, in places he couldn’t see.

As each minute passed, Adrian grew increasingly impatient. Thankfully, by the time nightfall arrived, Cecilia finally emerged.

He stepped forward briskly, seizing her arm. “I’ve been waiting for you for quite some time!”

Cecilia tried to wriggle free from his grasp, but it was no use. “Let go!”

“How dare you trick me? Give me back the money I gave you right now, and I might pretend this never happened,” Adrian said, his tone more of a threat than anything else.

His initial plan was to secure the money first, then deal with Cecilia.

Cecilia was no fool. “What money? What are you babbling about?”

Adrian had always perceived Cecilia as a woman of integrity and modesty, which was why he dared to make such a shameless.

“Where’s the five hundred million I gave you?” Adrian asked, his voice laced with hostility.

Cecilia flashed a bewildered look. “What five hundred million? Adrian, I don’t recall ever borrowing that much money from you. Are you sure you haven’t made a mistake?”

Her knack for playing dumb was truly unparalleled.

Adrian couldn’t hold it back anymore. “How dare you play dumb with me? I could kill you right now, you know that? Now that Nathaniel has become a fool, who else do you think is here to protect you?”

As he spoke, Adrian dragged Cecilia toward a secluded spot. I have already spent all my money on her. I can’t possibly leave empty- handed, right!

Cecilia wasn’t afraid of him at all, as she had bodyguards surrounding her.

Sure enough, before Adrian could lay a hand on her, several figures emerged from the darkness, swiftly overpowering him and stuffing him into a sack.
