When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 692 Sabotage Relationship

Within half an hour, Mason discovered that Cecilia had received another call from Nicholas earlier.

Upon finding that out, Nathaniel was utterly disappointed in his younger brother. Time and time again, he keeps trying to sabotage my relationship with Cecilia! Once I deal with the Evans family. I’ll come for him next. I need to teach him a lesson so severe that he’ll never dare to bother Cecilia again.

In the days that followed, the injection of new funds did not alleviate the situation for Evans Group. On the contrary, several shareholders sold their shares, and numerous executives jumped ship.

The shares of Evans Group plummeted relentlessly, sparking a flurry of gossip among the employees.

“Is our company going under? I saw Mr. Guzman packing up his office the day before yesterday, ready to leave.”

“Yeah. Our department head also handed in his resignation letter and even urged us to quickly find a new job.”

“How could this happen?”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Evans Group was headquartered overseas, and initially, Ralph was oblivious to the severe issues that had already emerged within the company. It wasn’t until he noticed one executive after another resigning that he began to feel panic.

He had never truly excelled at managing the company. Upon learning about the crisis, he first contacted his daughter, Cassandra. “Cassandra, could you bring Nicholas home for a meal? 1 would like to have a discussion with him.”

Cassandra was still sipping on her prenatal supplement when she heard that. Confusion was evident in her voice as she asked, “What’s going on?”

“You’ll know once you get here.” Ralph knew his son–in–law was no simple man.

Otherwise, the latter wouldn’t have been able to take over such a large corporation like Rainsworth Group from Nathaniel’s hands.

“All right.” After ending the phone call, Cassandra set down her bowl and headed toward the living room. From a distance, she could see Nicholas sitting by the balcony, engrossed in a book.

When Nicholas saw her emerge, he didn’t even lift his head.

Cassandra approached, “Nicholas, Dad asked us to have dinner tonight. He has something he wants to discuss with you”

She had always been a prideful and arrogant person, but in front of Nicholas, she was as docile as a rabbit

Upon hearing that, Nicholas closed the book.

He was also somewhat familiar with the recent happenings in the Evans family.

“Cassandra, I have a client meeting tonight. I’m afraid I won’t be able to meet your father.” Nicholas feigned a troubled look.

Cassandra knew that if her father were not in trouble, he would never have called them back soon. Coupled with his mention of being targeted by a certain company recently, she could, help but worry, “Can you possibly reschedule the client meeting? I have a feeling that Dad has something important to discuss with us.”

Nicholas calmly gazed at her, only speaking up after catching her slightly anxious look. “Okay.”

“Thank you, Nicholas.” A wave of joy instantly filled Cassandra’s eyes as she swiftly wrapped her arms around Nicholas‘ arm.

She failed to catch the flash of disgust that briefly crossed Nicholas‘ eyes!

In the afternoon, they boarded the car.

Cassandra looped one arm through Nicholas‘ while gently placing her other hand on her lower abdomen.

Previously, she couldn’t wait to terminate that pregnancy. However, ever since Nicholas had asked her to keep the child, as the days gradually passed, she was slowly experiencing the joy of motherhood.

“Nicholas, do you think our child will be a boy or a girl?” She mused, seemingly forgetting that the child growing inside her wasn’t actually Nicholas.

Nicholas‘ thin lips parted slightly. His tone was gentle, but his eyes were filled with coldness. “I’m fine with either, as long as baby comes from you.”

“You’re really wonderful.” Cassandra was filled with contentment, holding onto him even tighter.

Nicholas‘ icy gaze shifted, landing on the scene outside the window.

He had discovered long ago that Cassandra instructed Queenie to deal with Cecilia by using Cecilia’s child as leverage to disfigure Cecilia.
