When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 437 Thrown Into The River

Nicholas was just about to speak when Nathaniel walked right past him.

He immediately asked the servant who had been inside carlier what had happened.

“Mr. Adrian got drunk and harassed Mrs. Rainsworth. Mr. Nathaniel had him thrown into the river.”

Harassed Cecilia?

Nicholas‘ eyes turned cold.

“No one stopped it?”

The servant shook her head. Nicholas was generally kind, so she said, “No one dared to. Everyone was afraid.”

“What about Cassandra?”

The servant scratched her head. “Maybe she didn’t see it.”

Nicholas immediately understood. How could she not have seen it? She simply didn’t want to get involved.

He hadn’t liked Cassandra much to begin with, but now he felt a growing sense of disgust.

How could she pretend to be oblivious to the incident that occurred at the engagement party they had arranged?

Cecilia followed Nathaniel back to their residence.

Knowing she was traumatized, Nathaniel held her close the entire time.

“From now on, you don’t have to go to places like that. Just stay home.”

Cecilia’s emotions slowly calmed down. “Thank you.

If Nathaniel hadn’t shown up today, Adrian might have done something even worse.

Hearing her words, Nathaniel said softly, “Remember, we’re married. As your husband, this is what I should do.”

Listening to him, Cecilia was no longer angry about the time Nathaniel had people secretly follow and take pictures of her.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

“From now on, if anything happens, just tell me directly. No more sarcasm.”

Nathaniel realized she had forgiven him and immediately agreed, “Okay, I promise.”

After clearing the air, Cecilia got up from Nathaniel’s embrace, ready to return to the bedroom to rest.

Nathaniel also stood up, intending to follow her

“You’re sleeping in the living room tonight.” Cecilia said.

Nathaniel was left outside the bedroom, feeling a bit helpless.

Meanwhile, over by the frozen river, Adrian’s clothes had been stripped off, and he was shivering uncontrollably.

His lips had turned purple from the cold.

“You people, I won’t forget this! Just wait, youll pay for this!” Adrian shouted defiantly.

Seeing that Adrian was still being stubborn, the bodyguards realized he didn’t understand the seriousness of the situation.

A few of them stepped forward, broke through the ice with a machine, and dragged Adrian toward the icy water, throwing him in.

“Ah!”

With a piercing scream, Adrian hit the water, unable to speak another word.

Seeing him desperately trying to swim back to the surface. the bodyguards kept pushing his head. down, over and over again.

It finally dawned on Adrian that Nathaniel truly wanted him dead

“I was wrong, I was wrong! Please, tell Nathaniel I won’t dare do it again!”

One of the bodyguards called Nathaniel.

Lying alone in the living room, Nathaniel was not in a good mood. “Keep going! Make sure he learns his lesson!”

Nathaniel didn’t care at all about Adrian. If he died, so be it.

Following orders, the bodyguards continued their brutal treatment. Adrian was soon too exhausted to even beg for mercy.

Without Nathaniel’s order to stop, the bodyguards wouldn’t dare let Adrian go. It wasn’t until a luxury car pulled up, and Niel got out, leaning on his cane, accompanied by Adriam’s son, Felix

“Daddy!” Felix cried out as he ran toward Adrian.

Niel coldly commanded. “Stop! Are you really going to let this end in a death?”

The bodyguards immediately informed Nathaniel. Only after receiving his response did they finally stop.

That same night, Adrian was rushed to the ICU, barely making it through the night.

Back at Rainsworth Manor, Cecilia lay in bed, calling Martha and their two children.
