When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him Novel

Chapter 903 I Will Bury You First

Ethan requested Nathaniel to go alone or risk the lives of Cecilia and the child she was carrying.

Mason couldn’t help but furrow his brows. “This guy isn’t just cunning, but he’s also a fool! Mr. Rainsworth, you’re blind, so how could you go looking for Mrs. Rainsworth alone?”

Nathaniel tightly clenched his hands as he waited for Ethan’s subsequent message.

Sure enough, Ethan mentioned a car was waiting to pick Nathaniel up downstairs and even told Nathaniel no one was allowed to trail the vehicle.

“Take me down,” Nathaniel ordered emotionlessly.

“Mr. Rainsworth, this is a trap set by Ethan. If you go there, he definitely won’t spare you. If we secretly bring some men over to search for Mrs. Rainsworth, we might still be able to save her,” Mason explained.

On the surface, Nathaniel appeared composed, but inside, he was already in turmoil. Cecilia had become his weak spot. “I can’t risk Cecilia’s life. Let’s go.”

Mason knew that once Nathaniel made up his mind about something, he wouldn’t change it. Hence, all he could do was to see Nathaniel off.

Before getting into the car, Nathaniel turned to Mason and said, “If anything happens to me, please take care of my two children.”

He was confident that Mason would treat the two children well.

That was the first time Mason heard Nathaniel say something like that. “Mr. Rainsworth, you’re definitely going to be fine.”

As if he didn’t hear Mason’s comforting words, Nathaniel continued, “You’ll take over the company from now on. Your only responsibility is to raise the kids. As for their future, let them carve their own paths.”

He had faith in his sons, believing they wouldn’t be so inadequate as to rely solely on him.

“Mr. Rainsworth…”

Before getting into the car, Nathaniel handed Mason a tracker. “I’ll buy us some time. You must hurry and come to save Cecilia.”

Mason nodded. “Understood.”

After making all the arrangements, Nathaniel got into the car without any hesitation.

As Mason watched the car disappear into the distance, a hint of redness wèlled up in his eyes. Over the years, though he had been Nathaniel’s subordinate, they had faced countless life–and–death situation together. Moreover, without Nathaniel, he wouldn’t be where he was today.

He immediately arranged for his subordinates to carry out the rescue.

Right then, a call came through. To Mason’s surprise, the call was from Sven.

Mason was somewhat puzzled as he answered, “What’s up?”

“Cecilia has been kidnapped. I have her location, but I’m afraid I can’t rescue her alone.”

Initially, Mason wondered how he could locate Cecilia without following Nathaniel’s car. Now that he learned the location from Sven, he immediately sent several teams to the factory discreetly.

Meanwhile, inside the dilapidated factory, Jessica continued to wince in pain because Stella had stepped on her injured leg.

Listening to her, Ethan grew increasingly irritated. “Enough of this noise. Someone, bury her.”

Upon hearing that, Jessica immediately stopped whining. “Don’t bury me. You’re the eldest son of the Murdock family, right? My grandfather is acquainted with you. I’m the daughter of the Quill family.”

The Quill family? Ethan ordered his subordinates to stand down, then asked, “Who is your grandfather?”

After Jessica told him, Ethan couldn’t help but scoff. “I was wondering who it was. It turns out it’s that old geezer. Perfect timing. Since you’re here too, I’ll bury you first, and later when I find the time, I’ll bury that old fool.”

Jessica truly hadn’t anticipated that the Quill and Murdock families were adversaries.

After all, the Quill family’s situation was deteriorating daily, and they had long ceased business dealings with these people.

She dared not say another word. Tears streamed down her face as she pleaded, “Spare me, please. Spare me.”

Ethan’s subordinates had already dug two large pits in advance, into which they tossed Jessica directly, then proceeded to shovel dirt over her.

Upon seeing the situation, Cecilia couldn’t help but speak up. “Ethan, don’t rush to bury her. After all, she is a hostage.”
