When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 432 Why Do You Have A Bodyguard

Charlotte was updating Cecilia about the recent state of the company. “Boss, if we keep up this momentum, we’ll be making astronomical figures in no time. When will you be back? Eric sought me out recently, saying he wants to meet you to ask if you could help him write another piece of music.”This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Eric Palmer was a globally renowned pop idol of mixed heritage and was particularly handsome.

Every time, Charlotte found herself unable to deny his requests.

“St. Patrick’s Day is almost upon us, so let’s wait until after it,” Cecilia responded.

Charlotte felt a bit regretful. “All right, I’ll tell him when the time comes.”

“Yup.”

After finishing her conversation with Charlotte, Cecilia put down her phone.

In reality, the majority of operations in the foreign company were handled by the employees. All she needed to do was to have a basic understanding of it.

The room was eerily quiet, so Cecilia turned on the television to break the silence. As she flipped through several channels, her gaze abruptly landed on the entertainment news.

On the television, Stella, who hadn’t been seen for quite some time, was currently seated in front of the camera, tearfully apologizing.

“Here, I wish to apologize to my fans. That video about my personal life has affected everyone and let down your expectations of me. I don’t dare to hope for your forgiveness, but I aim to repay you by producing more works for those who continue to care for me. Finally, I want to remind my fans that it’s crucial to see people for who they truly are. Never trust unworthy men, or you’ll end up under their control…”

In her final words, Stella laid all the blame on the man.

It seemed as though everyone had forgotten that she was the third party intruding on someone else’s relationship. All they knew was that she was the victim after her video was exposed.

The number of people defending her online gradually increased.

After silently watching all this, Cecilia felt that the world could indeed be quite astonishing at times. The entertainment industry truly seemed to have no boundaries. Regardless of what the celebrities did, there were always some people online ready to forgive them.

Nathaniel had finished cleaning up. By the time he emerged, Cecilia had already turned off the television.

He didn’t know, or rather, he didn’t remember anything about Stella. If he had, he would have undoubtedly committed her to a psychiatric hospital once again.

“What were you looking at just now?”

“Nothing.”

When Cecilia thought about Stella being his first love, she couldn’t help but speak to him harshly.

Nathaniel could detect the unhappiness in her words and sat down next to her without any hesitation. “Shall we go for a walk?” he offered.

He thought that Cecilia was still upset about what had happened yesterday.

“I really didn’t send anyone to keep tabs on you. It was my subordinate who acted on his own accord and took those photos. I’ve already dismissed him.”

As Nathaniel spoke these words, the bodyguard standing guard outside couldn’t help but sneeze.

Cecilia was pregnant, and only now did she grasp the key point in his words.

“Aren’t you just a regular worker? Why do you have a bodyguard?”

Nathaniel choked, maintaining a poker face as he fabricated a lie. “Mom was worried about us getting kidnapped, so she hired a few people.”

It was quite usual for the affluent to worry about kidnappings and hence, to be accompanied by bodyguards.

Thus, Cecilia didn’t suspect anything wrong with those words.

At that moment, Zachary, who had just reached the door, nearly burst out laughing.

Apart from Simon, that fearless man from abroad who dared to kidnap Nathaniel last time, who else would have the audacity to do so?

Nathaniel truly was ruthless in his act of pretending to be poor- he could spin any lie that was necessary.

Zachary gave a symbolic knock on the door and called out, “Nathaniel.”

When he spotted Cecilia, he hesitated for a moment before shyly calling out, “Cecilia.”

Cecilia was taken by surprise at the friendly address. Following the principle of not offending those who approached with a smile, she acknowledged him but didn’t invite him in to sit.

Nonetheless, Zachary shamelessly invited himself in.

“Is it just the two of you at home? How about we go out and have some fun, my treat?”

Upon hearing that Cecilia had returned to Daltonia Villa with Nathaniel, he immediately made time to come and see for himself.
