When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 29 He Had Changed

He spent his days and nights working at the company, only pausing to sleep and cat.

Even the personal belongings that Cecilia had left in Calvin’s house were retrieved by Zachary on

his behalf.

Zachary clearly noticed that Nathaniel had changed.

Since returning. Nathaniel had become even more silent, as if he were lost in his own world.

Unable to contain his curiosity, Zachary asked Mason, “What’s going on with Nathaniel lately?”

Mason shook his head. “I have no idea. Mr. Sinclair, do you think Mr. Rainsworth might actually have feelings for Cecilia?”

Zachary’s sharp eyes flickered with a strange light at this.

“Who knows?” he replied before getting into his car and instructing the driver to leave.

Leaning back in his seat, Zachary pinched the bridge of his nose.

If Nathaniel truly liked Cecilia, then why was he so eager to push through the acquisition of Smith Corporation?

He should understand how important that company was to Cecilia, knowing that her father, Regas, had built it from the ground up, and it was something Cecilia held dear.

If he cared for her, why would he have people go overseas to cause trouble for Cecilia’s remaining family members?

Zachary wasn’t aware that Cecilia had severed ties with Paula and Magnus. He only knew that they were the last of her remaining relatives!

Nathaniel had never treated his women poorly.

When he was with Stella, what didn’t she have that others did?

Zachary noticed that Nathaniel was excessively harsh and cruel to Cecilia as if he viewed her as

an enemy.

As these thoughts swirled in his mind, they arrived at a luxurious neighborhood.

Zachary stepped out of the car and glanced around. “This place isn’t cheap, is it?”

“At least one hundred grand per square meter,” the driver responded.

For Zachary, the cost of the property was trivial.

Yet he understood that most people couldn’t afford such a place.

When Zachary arrived, a housekeeper opened the door for him.

“Ms. Smith’s belongings are in the master bedroom. Mr. Reese said you should take them and leave immediately.”

The housekeeper knew the man in front of her was not as innocent as his refined appearance suggested, so she showed no kindness in her demeanor.

Zachary looked at her. “Where is Mr. Reese?”

The housekeeper snorted. “I’m not his attendant. How would I know where he is? He’s very busy and has no time to deal with people of questionable character…

She muttered under her breath as she went about her tasks.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Zachary’s assistant, who was following him, was about to reprimand her but was stopped by Zachary,

The assistant found it odd. When had Zachary ever tolerated such disrespect?

Zachary headed straight for the master bedroom.

Inside, Cecilia’s belongings were already packed, clearly prepared before his arrival.

Without a word, Zachary began packing the items into suitcases.

Suddenly, his hands froze as his fingers brushed against an intricately designed, emerald dragon. pendant.

This jade pendant was a family heirloom, passed down through generations of the Sinclair family. It was the only one of its kind!

Four years ago, Zachary distinctly remembered giving this emerald pendant to the person who had saved his life.

How did it end up here?

Zachary clenched the pendant in his hand, lost in thought for a long time before instructing his assistant to pack the rest of Cecilia’s belongings and take them away.

On the way back, Zachary received a call from someone he had assigned to investigate the incident from four years ago.

“Mr. Zachary, we’ve found out that the person who saved you back then was Ms. Cecilia Smith, the daughter of the Smith family!”

The investigator also sent him some photos that had been painstakingly retrieved from the hospital records of that time.

Zachary looked at the pictures on his phone. Despite the poor quality of the photos, he recognized the bloodied figure in the images at a glance.

Cecilia!

It really was her!

Zachary’s hand that was gripping the phone turned pale from the force of his grip.

Scenes of him bullying Cecilia flashed through his mind one by one.

He recalled their second meeting after Cecilia had become Nathaniel’s fiancée.

Cecilia had looked at him with such excitement in her eyes. “It’s you?”

At that time, he thought she was trying to curry favor, pretending to know him.

Turns out it wasn’t that.

Later, due to Stella’s constant instigations, Zachary increasingly viewed Cecilia as a scheming

b*tch.

No matter the occasion, he would target and mock her at every opportunity.

Yet, Cecilia never mentioned that she had once saved his life.

“Why? Why didn’t you tell me?”
