When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1153 Not Her Bodyguards

Cecilia was a bit confused because the people who had arrived were not her bodyguards at all.

Her actual bodyguards only emerged a moment later, looking completely perplexed.

The leader of the group that had beaten Adrian respectfully said to Cecilia, “Mrs. Rainsworth, sorry for shocking you.”

Hearing herself called “Mrs. Rainsworth,” Cecilia immediately understood.

“You’re Nathaniel’s people?”

After answering, they carried Adrian, who had been stuffed into a burlap sack, and left,

Puzzled, Cecilia couldn’t help but ask, “Where are you taking him?”

“To see Mr. Nathaniel and wait for his decision.”

Cecilia had nothing to do at the moment, so she said, “Tll go with you”

The group hesitated, unsure whether they should refuse.

Cecilia didn’t mind at all “It’s fine. I’ll just go see Nathaniel anyway. He did say I could visit him every day.”

With that, they finally agreed.

Perhaps to avoid drawing attention, the men went through the back entrance while Cecilia walked through the main door.

Half an hour later, Adrian woke up from his unconscious state, his head pounding.

“Who hit me?” he muttered, rubbing his head as he slowly took in his surroundings

The first thing he noticed was Cecilia sitting not far away, eating something

“It’s you? You b*tch! How dare you have me beaten!”

Adrian stood up, ready to charge at Cecilia.

Yet, before he could get close, a few men in dark suits pinned him back down,This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Adrian glanced around and finally noticed the bodyguards,

Realizing the situation, he started to feel a bit scared.

“Cecilia, what do you want?”

Cecilia found his change in attitude amusing. “What can I do? I’m just protecting myself. Weren’t you about to hit me earlier?

Adrian never expected Cecilia to change so much. She even brought people with her.

“Don’t do anything reckless! I’m Nathaniel’s cousin. If the Rainsworth family finds out something happened to me, they won’t let you off.”

Cecilia listened quietly, unmoved.

Panicking, Adrian added, “I don’t want the five hundred million anymore. It’s all yours. Let’s just forget this ever happened. Think about it. What good will come from crossing me? Nathaniel is dumb and blind. He can’t protect you anymore. should find a stronger backer.”

You

Cecilia rested her chin on her hand, continuing to eat.

Seeing that neither threats nor bribes were working, Adrian decided to make a surprise move, hoping to catch Cecilia off

Just then, a tall figure emerged from an inner room. The man’s imposing presence immediately made Adrian freeze in place.

“Nathaniel, you’re not you’re not a fool!” Adrian stammered.

Nathaniel’s sharp gaze fell on him. “Of course not.”

He added, “And I’m not blind either!”

Back when Nathaniel was blind, he had once thrown Adrian into a freezing pool, nearly killing him. Now Nathaniel had regained his eyesight and his intelligence

Adrian’s legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground, his eyes filled with despair.

“How could this be?” His face turned pale,

Nathaniel walked up to him step by step. “Adrian, have I been too lenient with you? How dare you mess with Cecilia?”

Adrian’s entire body shook

“Nathaniel, listen to me. I did this with your best interest in mind.”

“Thinking of my best interest?” Nathaniel nearly laughed at the absurdity. “How exactly did you do that?”

“Well, recently, you’ve been pretending to be a fool. I was worried others might bully Cecilia and her child, so I thought I’d help you take care of them,” Adrian said, grasping at straws.

Nathaniel almost expected a better lie from him.

Running out of patience, he turned to the bodyguards. “I heard Adrian has a large pack of shepherd dogs?”
