When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 2282

To get Cecilia to let her son go, Miranda had no other choice.

She personally apologized on her son's behalf and posted it to a public platform.

Once the apology statement went up, plenty of commenters still didn't buy it.

But the internet remembered things, and at the same time, it forgot them fast.

After Cecilia stopped having people push traffic, the story's heat dropped fast.

She leaned back against the sofa.

Lucille asked, "That's it? We're just leaving it there?"

Lucille knew Cecilia was a genuinely decent person.

But she also knew Cecilia's child was the one place nobody could touch.

Anyone who dared go after her kid was never getting off easy.

Cecilia pressed two fingers to her brow and rubbed at it.

"Of course not."

"Then you... ?"

Cecilia opened her eyes and looked at Lucille.

"Felix is still just a kid. What his mother did has nothing to do with him."

She still couldn't bring herself to drag a child into it.

She wasn't like Miranda. Cecilia had children of her own, and that only made it more impossible for her to use a child as a weapon.

"True. Then what are we going to do?" Lucille asked.

Cecilia sent a photograph to her.

"Give this photograph to the major press outlets."

Lucille received the photograph. The second she saw it, she just froze.

"Oh my God! This is unbelievable."

Cecilia looked at her.

"Go."

"Okay, okay, okay. I'm going right now."

Lucille could already picture what would happen once she got there. Those press reporters would probably thank her for handing them a scoop like this.

*****

A little over half an hour later, the news on the internet exploded all over again.

This time, it wasn't about the child.

It was about Miranda.

She had no idea how else to explain it, so that was all she could say.

But listening to her, Robert didn't seem to believe it.

"You'd better not have lied to me. If you did, then you know what I'm capable of."

Miranda's heartbeat kicked faster. "Dad, even if you gave me a hundred times the nerve, I still wouldn't dare lie to you."

The second her voice fell, the line went dead on the other end.

Miranda hurried through everything in the office, checking one thing after another, afraid she'd left something behind.

At the same time, she called the man.

"Did you see the news on the internet? Hurry up and think of something. Move all the stuff I gave you, and the money too. Do it as fast as you can."

She knew the lie she'd just told wouldn't hold for long before someone tore it apart.

The man replied, "Okay. I know. You need to be careful too."

"I will."

Miranda was still about to say more when she saw Adrian standing in the doorway, his face burning with rage.

Something in her dropped, and she hurriedly ended the call.

Adrian shoved the door open and came straight in. "Is what got exposed on the internet true? Didn't you say he was your cousin?"

Hearing him question her like that, Miranda rushed to answer, "Adrian, you've really grown bold now, haven't you? You believe what's on the internet, but not what I told you?"
