When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 2279

The news on the internet only kept getting worse, and nearly all of it was aimed straight at Jonathan.

Still, there were a small number of different voices mixed in.

"He's just a kid. Aren't people expecting way too much from him?"

One commenter said.

Then someone else chimed in. "Yeah. They're just elementary school kids. Fighting's normal."

"Right. It looked like just one kick. What's the big deal?"

But those voices were drowned out almost as soon as they appeared.

"You people up there really have it easy, talking like that. If it were your kid getting bullied, let's see if you'd still stay this calm and act like it doesn't matter."

"Exactly. How is this normal? If he fights, he should be expelled."

"Right. He's already this bad at such a young age. What's he going to be like when he grows up?"

One comment after another piled up, and most of them were attacks.

Miranda looked through them, and the satisfaction showed plain on her face.

At last, she'd gotten this off her chest.

So what if Cecilia and Nathaniel had power and money?

She had the video now, and once the video hit the internet, all that money wouldn't help them.

Miranda said to Arnold, "Spend more money. Get some paid agitators. I want this to blow up bigger and bigger."

"Yes." Arnold nodded.

Miranda was about to say more when the telephone suddenly rang.

She picked it up and looked at the screen. Cecilia was calling.

The corners of Miranda's mouth lifted high. "Hello, Ceci. Need something?"

"I'm telling you to stop while you still can over what's happening on the internet," Cecilia said without any small talk.

Miranda let out a cold laugh. "What are you talking about? I have no idea."

She was still playing dumb.

Cecilia's reply came down hard. "Miranda, do you understand that the internet cuts both ways? While you're going after other people, there's every chance you'll end up hurting yourself."

"Aren't you worried that one day people will start picking your son apart online too?" Cecilia asked.

Miranda didn't take it seriously at all. "My son didn't do anything wrong, and he never laid a hand on anyone. What do I have to be afraid of?"

He knew what kind of people filled the internet. If he really got worked up over every one of them, he might actually die from it.

Just then, Cecilia's voice came from behind them. "Babies, what are you two talking about?"

Cecilia had been worried the boys might see all the people cursing them out online, so she had come over on purpose to warn them not to look at the computer or play with their phones.

"Nothing, Mommy. We were talking about homework today. Elliot still has a lot left to finish, so I was going to help him with it," Jonathan explained.

He knew exactly what Cecilia was worried about, and he cut that concern off before she could say more.

Cecilia nodded again and again. "Good. Then finish breakfast and work on your homework. No electronics."

"Mm, okay."

The two boys answered at the same time.

Only then did Cecilia let herself ease up.

But she had no intention of just sitting there and taking it.

Miranda had actually dared to use her sons as targets.

Cecilia was going to make sure Miranda regretted it.
