When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 242 The Child Is Not Yours

Meanwhile, at Daltonia Villa.

Due to yesterday’s incident, Nathaniel was still upset, deliberately giving the cold shoulder.

In the past, what Cecilia feared most was Nathaniel’s indifference toward her. Now, she wished nothing more than for him to ignore her.

Just today, she managed to wrap up some matters related to her new song and sent the details to the overseas company.

She had also received some fantastic news. An anonymous benefactor had poured billions into her company.

They claimed it was due to their admiration for Cecilia, and that they would continue to invest later on. All they needed was to use her song.

Such a high royalty fee was something that Cecilia never dared to dream of in the past.

Of course, she was unaware that over seven billion had vanished from Nathaniel’s personal account.

The phone rang and when Cecilia saw it was Vivian calling, she couldn’t help but look upstairs.

Nathaniel had been working in his study all day. Aside from meal times, he hadn’t stepped out even once, maintaining a frosty expression throughout.

And so, she stepped out and answered the phone.

“What’s wrong, wrong, Vivian?”

“I’m sorry, Ceci.” Vivian crouches down in the middle of the street, sobbing uncontrollably. “Z- Zachary thought Jon was his son and took him away. I wanted to get Jon back, but I couldn’t even get into his villa. They drove me away.”

Cecilia’s heart tightened.

“Don’t rush, don’t cry, take your time to explain.”

Vivian had relayed everything that had happened that day to her. “That jerk Zachary, he said he wants to personally take care of Jon. He even asked me to name my price, saying I could ask for any amount of money…”

Such a major mix–up was completely unexpected.

How could Zachary have thought that Jonathan was his son?

After calming herself down, Cecilia comforted Vivian, “Vivian, don’t cry. This isn’t your fault. Who knew he wasn’t thinking straight? Since he believes that Jon is his son, he would certainly never harm Jon. I believe that if I simply tell him that Jon isn’t his son, he will return him.”

Vivian actually thought the same way.

“Ceci, that guy has blocked me, I can’t reach him at all, and I don’t dare to contact anyone else.”

If this matter were to blow up, there was a real fear that Nathaniel would start to harbor doubts.

After all, Elliot was still with him. They had to prevent him from meeting Jonathan at all cost as the two kids look exactly alike.

Even though Nathaniel had seen Jonathan in the past, it was just a fleeting encounter, leaving no particular impression on him.

After a brief pause, Cecilia said. “I’ll get in touch with him.”

“Is that okay?” Vivian knew just how much Cecilia despised Zachary

“I’ll reach out to him on your behalf, letting him know you’re really worried about the child.”

“All right then.”

After hanging up the phone, Cecilia immediately transferred some money to Vivian to address her urgent need.

Afterwards, she dialed Zachary’s number.

At Seabay Villa, it was already nine in the evening. Ever since Jonathan was brought back in bonds, he hadn’t taken a single drop of water, nor did he beg for mercy.

He was daring Zachary to starve him to death.

The nanny couldn’t bear it anymore. “Mr. Zachary, the child is still young, you need to teach him slowly.

“He won’t die of starvation if he skips meals for a day.”

Zachary was curious to see just how long he could hold on.

The nanny had no choice but to leave.

The phone rang, and Zachary picked it up, answering, “Hello.”

“It’s me, Cecilia.”Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Zachary immediately rose from the sofa, his gaze subtly drifting toward Jonathan in the children’s room.

“Vivian wants me to tell you that the child isn’t yours. If you don’t believe me, you can always take a paternity test.”

Cecilia cut straight to the chase unexpected complications.
