SWNOVELS Chapter 1186
Chapter 1186 Cat Got Your Tongue
“What did you say?” Cecilia approached the woman who had just threatened to harm her own son.
For reasons unknown, the woman found herself intimidated by Cecilia’s demeanor. She took a step back, but she still argued, “What I’m saying is that you should learn to be more humble.”
Cecilia’s hand, hanging by her side, slowly clenched into a fist.
She recognized the woman standing before her. The woman was Nathaniel’s distant relative, who ran a small business back. home. I didn’t expect people like her to dare to bully me and even threaten my children after what happened to Nathaniel! I won’t stand for any threats directed at my loved ones!
“What’s the matter? Cat got your tongue?” The woman noticed that Cecilia was silently staring at her. She immediately assumed that Cecilia was intimidated by her.
Cecilia suppressed her rage and remained composed while already formulating a plan. “I hope you don’t regret the word you just uttered.”
“Heh, what do I have to regret? Don’t think you can scare me.”
At that moment, Vivian stood beside Cecilia, looking at the woman mockingly. “Oh, really? I don’t want to scare you, but I have to tell you something. Are you aware that one of Ceci’s two sons is recognized as Old Mr. Sinclair’s great–grandson? I’ll make sure to relay the words you just spoke faithfully to Old Mr. Sinclair.”
The woman’s expression changed in an instant.
A woman who resided in Tudela and was aware of the situation tugged at the woman’s clothing and said, “It’s true. Old Mr. Sinclair adores his adopted great–grandson.”
The woman felt a twinge of fear in her heart, yet she said, “What’s the big deal? He’s just an adopted great–grandson, not a biological one.”
“In that case, perhaps you’ll be afraid of me, the future daughter–in–law of the Sinclair family.” Although Vivian didn’t want to use that status, the woman’s bullying was too much.
The woman rarely visited the Rainsworth family, so she didn’t know about Vivian’s identity. Upon hearing that, she turned to the person next to her for confirmation. Once she had it, she was immediately deflated. “Forget it. I won’t talk to you two anymore. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving.”
The group of women left feeling disappointed, including Miranda. She had hoped to humiliate Cecilia, but judging from her cousins‘ capabilities, they were no match for her.
After they had slinked away, Vivian exclaimed, “I never thought being the future daughter–in–law of the Sinclair family would be so advantageous”
“Of course. After all, Zachary is the only heir of the Sinclair family,” Cecilia said with a smile.
To be honest, Zachary’s social status was actually superior to that of Nathaniel.
The Rainsworth family had a multitude of descendants, whereas the Sinclair family had only Zachary
Everything revolved around Zachary, which was why he became so spoiled.
“No wonder my dad was always pushing me to marry Zachary.” Vivian sighed.
She no longer had any feelings for Zachary, and she didn’t want to marry him just like that.
As the two were engrossed in their conversation, a familiar voice echoed from not too far away. “Cecilia.”
Upon hearing that voice, Cecilia felt a shiver run down her spine.
She looked over and saw Jessica, arm in arm with a tall man. He was strikingly handsome, with a deep–set, chiseled face.
She spoke to the man in a soft, dependent manner, then began to walk toward Cecilia and Vivian.
Vivian was familiar with some of the handsome, high–society men there. Hence, she immediately recognized the man beside Jessica. “That’s Mr. Blaine of the Griffiths family. It’s my first time seeing him in person.”
Blaine was not someone to be trifled with. He was known as a tyrant and Elena’s nephew.
Cecilia was also somewhat surprised to see him and the fact that he was dating Jessica.
As the duo were caught in surprise, Jessica had already reached them.
Jessica radiated with joy, embodying the demeanor of a meek woman. The pride in her eyes was impossible to hide.
