Chapter 805 A Fatal Accident

A hint of coldness flashed in Nicholas’s eyes when he heard Jared badmouth Cecilia.

“Is that so?” he asked with a gentle tone.

Jared immediately sensed the shift in atmosphere and, with a forced smile, quickly added, “Just kidding, Mr. Rainsworth. Actually, there’s a unique charm to a beauty like her, despite the hardships she’s faced.”

Jared had always perceived Nicholas as a warm and humble junior, unlike the ruthless and aggressive Nathaniel.

That was why he hadn’t been more cautious with his words.

Nicholas didn’t pay him any further attention. Instead, he turned to Cecilia and said, “Cecilia, you should go rest first.”

Cecilia got confused. “You don’t need me to stay here?”

“Yes, you may leave now.”

“Okay.” Cecilia, growing tired of Jared’s irritating remarks, decided she had enough and left for the break

room.

She left this place, heading toward the lounge.

Unbeknownst to her, shortly after she departed, screams and pleas for mercy began to echo from the golf

course.

The bodyguards had cordoned off the area, leaving those outside clueless about the commotion inside.

At that moment, the CEO of Apogee Corporation was on his knees, desperately begging for mercy.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Rainsworth. I didn’t realize she was someone you cared about. I spoke thoughtlessly. Please, I apologize. I’m truly sorry.” He bowed his head, begging for forgiveness.

Nicholas glanced at the golf clu

n his hand, now visibly bent from the force of his blows.

Jared lay on the ground, battered and trembling.

“Mr. Rainsworth, please forg

Jared begged.

Nicholas’s expression remained impassive as he discarded the golf club. “Don’t ever do this again.” Nicholas’s expression remained i

“All right, Mr. Rainsworth. All right…” Jared nodded repeatedly…

What Jared didn’t realize was that an even more dire fate awaited him.

A few bodyguards then dragged him away.

Nicholas then cleaned his hands and made his way to the lounge. There, he found Cecilia leaning against the back of a chair, her eyes closed as she drifted into a light nap.

Nicholas watched her as she slept, unable to resist reaching out. Just as his hand neared her, Cecilia’s eyes

“Are you guys done?” Cecilia asked, puzzled.

Nicholas hummed in response and nodded. “Are you feeling tired?”

“A little.”

“Let’s head back then.”

“All right.”

As Cecilia settled into the car and began idly scrolling through her phone, a news article suddenly caught her eye.

It reported that Jared, the CEO of Apogee Corporation, had been involved in a car accident on his way home and tragically died at the scene.

“Oh my goodness.”

Nicholas fooked over. “What’s wrong?”

Cecilia showed him the news article.

Nicholas‘ gaze turned indifferent after reading it. He commented, “Life is so unpredictable.”

Of course, Cecilia didn’t associate Jared’s death with Nicholas. “That’s why we must always live in the present.”

“Indeed.”

The phrase “live in the present” stirred an indescribable feeling inside Nicholas. He couldn’t help but glance at Cecilia from time to time.

Just as she was about to reach her office, Cecilia’s phone rang, breaking the silence. She answered and saw that it was a call from the hospital. “Hello?”

“Ms. Smith, could you please come over quickly?”

Cecilia’s brows were furrowed in distress. What on earth had happened to Paula again?

“What’s the matter? Tell me over the phone first.”

“I’m not entirely sure about the details, but Ms. Evans showed up and got into an argument Mdm. Paula. It seems like she’s trying to cut ties with her…” The caregiver hesitated, trying to fmd the right words.

Cecilia froze for a moment. Cassandra wants to cut ties with Paula? I can’t miss this drama!

She clenched her fist. “All right. I’ll be there right away

After hanging up the phone, Cecilia apologized to Nicholas. “I’m sorry, I have some personal matters to

attend to.”

“Where are you going? I can take you there,” Nicholas offered.

“It’s okay. I’ll just take a taxi.”

Nicholas remained silent, simply watching as Cecilia got out of the car.
