When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1781

Chapter 1781 The Ice Cream Deception
Feigning sincerity, Miranda pretended to reassure Cecilia. “Cecilia, don't worry. We won't put you in a difficult position. We will definitely cooperate with the Jamieson family.”

Cecilia stood up. “There's no need for further discussion. You can take me to court.”

When she left, she glanced back at the two of them.

“The Jamieson Group legal department will get in touch with you.”

After leaving the remark, she left without looking back.

Inside the conference room, both Robert and Miranda wore expressions of displeasure.

They initially thought that by intimidating Cecilia, she would capitulate. However, they hadn't expected her to be so resolute.

“Dad, what do we do now?”

“What else can we do? These contracts are essentially worthless now.” Robert clenched his fist, slamming it onto the desk. “I underestimated this woman.”

They had initially thought that with Queenie being ill, they could easily manipulate Cecilia. However, it turned out to be more difficult than that.

“Can't we just sue her?” Miranda questioned.

Robert gave her a stern look. “Are you out of your mind? Do you really think we stand against Jamieson Group's legal department?”

After Miranda was scolded by him, her complexion alternated between one of anger and embarrassment.

She remained silent, yet deep down, she couldn't help but wish for George to kick the bucket as soon as possible.

This old geezer's own son is utterly useless, and yet, he expects his daughter-in-law to step up. I can't believe he even has the audacity to scold me.

After returning home, the fuming Miranda gave Adrian a call.

“Didn't you say you were going to deal with those four brats? Why haven't you made a move? Cecilia has already taken over as the CEO of Jamieson Group, are you planning to wait until her son takes over the Rainsworth family?”

Adrian was also constantly scheming on his end, but with his limited capabilities, he didn't have the guts to harm Nathaniel's child.

“Miranda, maybe we should just let it go?” Adrian suggested, sounding rather dispirited.

Miranda was on the verge of laughing out of sheer exasperation. “Adrian, think this through. If you don't pave the way for our son, don't come crying when things go south later on.”

After entrusting the children to the housekeeper, Cecilia and Nathaniel hadn't been gone for long before Adrian appeared in front of the four children.

“Jon, Eli.”

Jonathan and Elliot looked in his direction.

At a glance, Elliot could tell that this so-called uncle had ill intentions. He subtly signaled to Jonathan with a look.

Jonathan also noticed it. Nevertheless, he still responded politely, “Hello, Uncle Adrian.”

“Hello, kids. We have a professional ice cream chef over at my place today, would you guys like to come over and give it a try?” Adrian asked.

Upon exchanging glances, Jonathan and Elliot both thought that Adrian was a fool.

After all, they weren't naive children, and being deceived by ice cream was the last thing that could happen to them.

Elliot was about to refuse, but Jonathan interjected, “Sure, why not.”
