When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him Novel

Chapter 759 Whose Child Is It

On their way back, Helen couldn’t help saying, “Ms. Cecilia, what you did earlier was spot–on. Someone who tries to please everyone and then betrays you isn’t worth your sympathy.

“She’s the type of person you use, not befriend,” said Cecilia.

Helen strongly agreed with her statement.

After Cecilia reached home, she cleaned up and rested.

As soon as she lay down, a message arrived from Priscilla: Ms. Cecilia, I’ve got some inside scoop on most of the moms, even including Miranda’s.

Cecilia was intrigued, though she remained skeptical.

She replied: Since you have dirt on Miranda, why didn’t you just confront her with it? That way, she wouldn’t dare to mess with you, right?

Not long after, Priscilla sent another message: Our family is no match for the Leighton and Rainsworth families. If Miranda knew I had something on her, she would kill me.

Cecilia didn’t believe her right away, replying: Since you’ve made up your mind to be on my side. you should prove that you’re sincere.

Before long, Priscilla sent her the scandals involving Miranda.

Clicking on the file, Cecilia reviewed it, and her pupils constricted.

Cecilia: Are you sure this is true?

Priscilla: Yes, I’m sure. I happened to see it when I was at Miranda’s house.

Every time she attended gatherings with those affluent mothers, she was practically invisible, largely due to her lack of influence and less–than–stunning appearance. Because of that, she had managed to uncover quite a few secrets on the sly.

At that moment, Cecilia realized just how incredibly useful Priscilla could be.

According to the information about the parents‘ association embers that Priscilla had given her last time, she had discovered many affluent women. If she could learn most of their secrets, it would be immensely helpful in her future efforts to reestablish Smith Corporation.

Cecilia sent a message to Priscilla, simply stating: I will arrange for Dorothy to return to school, but I hope you’ll change your ways.

Priscilla: Don’t worry, I will.

Cecilia switched off her phone and went to sleep.

She could finally sleep peacefully since Nathaniel wasn’t around.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel was resting alone in Seabay Villa. Accustomed to the quiet, he found himself unable to fall asleep.

Is it because I’ve been sleeping too much lately?

He closed his eyes once again, hoping to drift off slowly. But for some reason, Cecilia’s face. emerged in his mind.

Nathaniel opened his eyes, not wanting to sleep anymore.

Cecilia, on the other hand, slept quite well. The next morning, she arranged to meet up with Eric to discuss the collaboration and his latest song.

“I just returned, and you’re already talking about collaboration?” Eric sighed.

Cecilia shot him a stern look. “You asked me to write a song for you. Business is business, and personal matters are personal.”

Eric took a sip of his coffee. “Ouch, that hurts. Do we really need to discuss our collaboration? I’ll sign any contract you present me.”

This wasn’t just a polite remark. Every time Cecilia and Eric worked together, it was always like this. Eric had immense trust in Cecilia; he would sign any contract she brought him without even glancing at it.

“All right then, let’s stick to the old routine.”

“Sure,”

Eric pushed the untouched coffee toward Cecilia. “Don’t you love coffee? Why aren’t you. touching it?”

Just as Cecilia was about to explain, he asked, “It’s only been about two weeks since I last saw you. Why do I feel like you’ve gained some weight?”

“Because I’m pregnant.” Cecilia handed him the coffee. “You can have it. I have to watch what I eat now.”

Eric was surprised, not expecting her to be pregnant.

“Whose child is it?” he asked, almost reflexively.
