When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 902 Who Kidnapped Us

“Ah, it hurts, it hurts. My leg is killing me!” Tears rolled down Jessica’s checks.

Seeing that pleading with Stella was futile, she turned her gaze to Cecilia. “Cecilia, hurry up and call the police. Quickly find a way to save me!”

It was only when she mentioned Cecilia that Stella moved her foot away and turned to look at Cecilia. “I almost forgot about you.”

Cecilia glared at Jessica, then turned to Stella and said, I still remember something you once told me.”

“What’s that?” Stella asked in bafflement.

“You told me that besides the emotional entanglement we had because of Nathaniel, we had no other conflicts. We were initially friends. It was only later that we became rivals in love, right?” said Cecilia.

Stella recalled she had indeed uttered such words.

However, she clenched her palms tightly. “Initially, we indeed had no grievances. However, you ruined my reputation, forcing me to hide everywhere. Now, all I wish for is your demise!”

Cecilia’s expression remained calm. She knew she had to buy time while she waited for Sven and the others to rush over and rescue her. “Who exactly ruined your reputation? Haven’t you ever reflected on your actions?” Cecilia questioned. “Was it me who made you impersonate me to save Zachary and Elena? Was it me who made you refuse to be Sean’s mistress, only to wreck his marriage and ultimately abandon him?”

The questions only served to further infuriate Stella. In her anger, Stella seized Cecilia by the throat. “Why didn’t you just die for real? If you had truly died, I would already be with Nathaniel by now, and Zachary would never have discovered the truth!”

Choked by Stella’s hands, Cecilia couldn’t help but face difficulty in catching her breath.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Panting, she enunciated, “Stella, if you choose to take my life now, there’s no way you’re getting out of here alive.”

Hearing that, Stella couldn’t help but chuckle.

She loosened her grip slightly before asking, “Did you think I was the one who brought you here? Did you think Nathaniel would still be able to protect you this time? Let me tell you. This time, we’re after Nathaniel’s life.”

As her words fell, the pain–stricken Jessica was in disbelief. “If it wasn’t you who kidnapped us, who did?”

Her question was soon answered as several men walked in. Leading the group was Ethan, the eldest son of the Murdock family.

Upon seeing Stella straggling Cecilia, Ethan scolded, “Let go of her now!”

Stella was quite intimidated by Ethan, so she immediately loosened her grip. “Ethan.”

Ethan approached. “Nathaniel hasn’t arrived yet. If anything happens to her, can you bear the responsibility?”

Stella clenched her fists and lowered her head. “I’m sorry”

“Get out!”

As Stella had to rely on Ethan for help, she had no choice but to submit. She got up and walked outward.

Ethan watched her retreating figure, feeling somewhat helpless.

Had it not been for Francis‘ insistence on keeping Stella around, he would have gotten rid of her a long time ago.

For reasons he couldn’t quite understand, he was worried that Stella might bring trouble to the Murdock family in the future.

When Stella stepped out of the house, Francis was waiting outside.

“Babe, what’s wrong?” Francis asked. “What’s with the long face? Didn’t I already agree to let you meet with Cecilia?”

Stella quickly embraced him. “It’s nothing. Let’s head back. If Nathaniel comes over later, I’m afraid there might be trouble.”

She had witnessed Nathaniel’s ruthless side. If Ethan failed to eliminate Nathaniel, the latter would wipe out the Murdock family.

If Francis were to leave, there was a chance he might manage to avoid getting implicated.

“All right.”

Meanwhile, at Imminence Corporation, Nathaniel had indeed received Ethan’s threat.
