When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 382 Serve Prison Time

Nathaniel was taken aback for a moment, then he replied, “It depends on the mistake. If it’s something like what you did, I won’t let him go to jail.” I can deal with something like this with money.

Jonathan, however, interpreted his words as a willingness to serve prison time on behalf of his 5011.

An unusual emotion inexplicably arose within him.

The call for dinner from Cecilia interrupted their conversation, prompting them to leave the TOOM.

Cecilia watched the two of them walk out in “peace.” Jonathan was like a miniaturized replica of Nathaniel.

At that moment, Cecilia recalled the last time Jonathan, who never slept with anyone else, surprisingly volunteered to sleep with Nathaniel.

She suddenly wavered, uncertain whether to tell Nathaniel about the child.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

After all, they were father and son. She thought Jonathan surely wanted his father around and only didn’t say it out loud to comfort her.

After dinner, Cecilia received a call from Charlotte. “Boss, quickly turn on the livestream. Paula is dancing.”

Upon hearing that, Cecilia immediately returned to her room and turned on her computer. Just as I thought…

In the video, Paula was clad in dance attire, which did little to conceal the extra weight around her midsection, a stark reminder of her old age.

When Paula was still young, countless admirers would adore her dance. At that moment, she had. only a handful of old men egging her on under the livestream.

Every now and then, a few young people would accuse her of being flirtatious and not acting her age.

Even after seeing that, Cecilia felt that the years of pent–up resentment and grievances didn’t subside much.

After all, Paula did all that for her other daughter, a daughter who still had another mother.

“It’s so pitiful. Once a renowned female dancer, she now dances in her live streams to a meager audience. She’s really going all out for her daughter.” Then, turning to Cecilia, Charlotte asked, “Boss, did she offend you?”

She knew Cecilia wouldn’t have tried to embarrass Paula without good reasons.

Upon hearing that, Cecilia couldn’t help but respond, Lottie, she is my birth mother.”

Charlotte was momentarily stunned.

She only knew that Martha was Cecilia’s nanny and that life was quite challenging for Cecilia in the past. Martha shared all that with her.

However, she had no idea Cecilia’s mother was actually a renowned dancer. Paula should have been in her prime decades ago, so she shouldn’t have lacked money. Why did she have someone else raise her daughter? “Boss, isn’t she too biased? I’ve been with you for five years, and I’ve never seen her call you even once. If she knew that the melody she’s been longing for was composed by her daughter, she’d definitely be filled with regret.”

Cecilia chuckled self–deprecatingly. “No, she won’t. All right, enough about that. Go ahead and sign the contract with her.” She would’ve mocked me if she knew I composed that piece. That’s how it has always been since I was a kid. No matter how exceptional I am, she’ll never acknowledge it and will always belittle me.

Cecilia continued watching the livestream. Once, she wanted most to watch her mother dance. Yet, at that moment, she found it boring and closed the livestream.

Meanwhile, after wrapping up the livestream, Paula saw the comments and grimaced for a moment.

Nevertheless, she still smiled as she shared the news of receiving exclusive rights with Cassandra.

Cassandra was gracefully dancing in the studio, a mirror image of Paula’s younger self. She approached Cassandra and said, “Cassandra, I’ve secured the exclusive rights for you.”

Cassandra’s expression changed upon seeing Paula approach.

She tossed Paula the cell phone, which was displaying the latter’s livestream earlier. “Don’t you know how old you are? Yet, you still showed up in public like this. Even if you’re not embarrassed, I am. Everyone knows you’re my father’s new wife. My mom wouldn’t have embarrassed me like this.”

The “Mom” she referred to was Queenie.

After hearing everything, Paula was about to reveal the truth to Cassandra.
