When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 247 That Was Not You

After Stella was discharged from the hospital in Tudela, she had to start preparing for the filming commencement ceremony the next day.

She sent a few text messages to Nathaniel, but he didn’t reply to any of them.

Her best friend, Yvette, walked over and said, “Stella, arrangements have been made with members of the media for tomorrow. We guarantee that your new drama will be a hit even before it airs.”

“Yvie, thank you,” Stella said with a sweet smile.

“There’s no need for thanks among friends.”

Yvette had an idea. “For the event, you can invite a few more people, right? I took the liberty to invite Cecilia on your behalf. I want her to see you now and realize she’s not in the same league as you are.”

Instead of responding to the matter directly, Stella commented, “There’s no need for that. She’s already pitiful enough with her family going bankrupt and her divorce.”

“You’re just too kind–hearted. Don’t worry, I’ve already figured out how to deal with her. I’ll definitely make sure she pays for what she’s done to you.”

Yvette never imagined that Cecilia would accept her invitation..

Stella stopped discussing the matter too.

“I’m going to the restroom. When my boyfriend arrives, could you let him know for me?”

“Okay.”

Stella watched as Yvette walked away.

After she left, the third son of the Murdock family arrived promptly, engaging in a light–hearted conversation with Stella.

After Yvette emerged, the two departed. Stella also received two messages from Nathaniel:

I’ll send someone over to extend my congratulations.

Name your price for the Smith residence.

The Smith residence?

Stella immediately dialed Nathaniel’s number. “Nathaniel, why do you want the Smith residence?”

“Just sell it to me. There’s no need for further questions,” Nathaniel coldly responded.

Stella knew that whatever Nathaniel desired, he would inevitably obtain it.

Though reluctant, she still agreed to his request.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

When Cecilia returned to Daltonia Villa, she inadvertently saw numerous messages from Stella popping up on Nathaniel’s phone.

As soon as he got home, he couldn’t wait to respond to Stella’s message.

I wonder if he would still be as attentive as he is now once he discovers the truth about Stella tomorrow.

Cecilia had quietly informed Elliot to be ready for the next day.

After that, she checked with Norman, who informed her that the matter of creating an identity had also been taken care of.

After Nathaniel ended his phone call, she approached the study room door and knocked. “I have something to discuss with you.”

“What is it?”

“Tomorrow is Elliot’s birthday. I’m thinking of visiting him, is that alright?” There was a pause before Cecilia continued, “If you’re worried, you could come with me, or have someone keep an eye on me?”

Originally, Nathaniel had other plans. However, hearing her say this, he agreed.

“I’ll go with you tomorrow,” he said.

“Okay.”

Cecilia nodded.

Now, there was just one last matter to resolve–Jonathan was still with Zachary.

She returned to her room and called Vivian, “How’s it going?”

“That dimwit told me that Jon is his son!”

Cecilia was bewildered. After all, she knew better than anyone whose son it was.

Vivian was stomping her foot in frustration at Seabay Villa. “What do we do now?”

As for Zachary, Cecilia was unsure of what approach to take.

I don’t think I can take Elliot with me and leave Jon behind, can I?

Cecilia knew that this opportunity was a rare one. If she delayed any further, she might not be able to take Elliot away anymore.

“It seems I’ll have to take Elliot away first. Zachary has made a mistake. Once he realizes the child

“Alright, I’ll try harder to make him realize it,” Vivian said,

At Seabay Villa, Vivian had grown tired of repeatedly stating to Zachary that Jonathan wasn’t his son.

She could only change her approach. “Zachary, I’ve only been with one man my entire life, and that man was not you.
