When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 931 A Reunion Is Due

Met with a closed door, Jessica edged closer to the entrance, straining her ears to catch any sounds from within.

However, due to the decent soundproofing and the fact that the two had moved their conversation to the balcony, she couldn’t hear a thing.

“She really has no shame, locking herself in her room alone with another man like that,” Jessica muttered under her breath.

She hadn’t noticed when exactly Elliot had approached her. Just as she was speaking ill of Cecilia, she suddenly felt a dampness on her leg.

Upon lowering her gaze, the woman noticed Elliot holding an unknown liquid in his hands, which he had completely spilled over her legs. The smell was particularly unpleasant.

“Ahh! What are you doing, Eli?”

“I got this from the housekeeper,” the boy answered innocently. “She said it’s used as fertilizer for the flowers to help them grow more quickly and beautifully. Since your leg hasn’t gotten any better, I thought I’d use it on you.”

Jessica’s expression shifted instantly. With a shriek, she made a beeline for the bathroom.

Watching her frantic demeanor, Elliot couldn’t help but clap his hands and yawn.

“What an annoying woman.”

Meanwhile, Cecilia and Sven stood on the balcony in the room, oblivious to what had happened to Jessica.

“I found out that Stella never actually left Tudela. She found Francis and has been staying with him in secret. Francis even went as far as buying her a house,” reported Sven.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Cecilia couldn’t quite believe her ears.

“Isn’t Francis engaged to Stella’s best friend, Yvette?”

Sven nodded. “That’s correct. Yvette doesn’t know about this. If she were to find out, there’s no way she’d marry Francis.”

Cecilia gazed at the rain. Some people just have no regard for friendships or familial ties,

“You should have quite a few pictures of the two of them together, right?” she asked.

“Yeah,”

“Could you send me some?”

She had already decided how to deal with Stella.

Back in their university days, Cecilia, Stella, and Yvette were all in the same year and class. Hence, Cecilia knew that Yvette was not to be underestimated childhood, nor would her family ever allow her to suffer any distress.

Sven sent all the videos and photos of Stella with Yvette’s fiancé to Cecilia before leaving.

As the woman went through the media, she was reminded of the time at their class reunion when Yvette had made things difficult for her, all for Stella’s sake.

Cecilia opened the university alumni group chat. There wasn’t much conversation going on; the last time it was lively was during a previous class reunion.

She glanced again at the most recent group announcement, which stated that the next reunion would be in five years.

Five years later? Isn’t that now?

With that in mind, Cecilia sent a message to the class representative, asking her when and where this year’s reunion would be held.

The class representative, Ruth Wellington, was a girl who loved reminiscing about the past and organizing meet–ups.

Sure enough, Ruth quickly thanked Cecilia for the reminder before sending a message in the group chat, announcing that the next reunion was due.

Ruth: Hello! Is everyone free to catch up before the Labor Day holidays end?

At first, there wasn’t much response in the group chat. Cecilia was the first to break the silence: I’m available.

Many were surprised to know that she was going to attend the class reunion.

Despite not having seen her for a long time, they had come across the news about the previous song plagiarism incident. That was when they came to know that the hearing–impaired Cecilia was actually a renowned composer.

Before long, others began to respond.

I’m in. I just so happen to be in Tudela now.

I’ll join too.
