Chapter 1309 Eric Joining Ceci Corporation
+8 Pearls
Queenie had a lengthy phone conversation with Nathaniel, deciding to join forces to completely shut down all operations of Imminent Corporation.
On the other hand, when Nathaniel received this news, he was not the least bit perturbed.
“Let’s see who can hold out longer,” he muttered.
Having spent many years with Nathaniel, Mason was accustomed to crises like this and felt no fear.
However, there was something he felt compelled to share with Nathaniel. “Mr. Rainsworth, Eric has received the penalty fee and settled his payment.”
Nathaniel furrowed his brow, looking up at Mason. “Didn’t you say you investigated all his assets, including those of his parents? It’s impossible for him to produce such a large amount.”
Mason was somewhat surprised by this oversight. “I must admit, it’s something I overlooked. I didn’t expect it?
Nathaniel didn’t blame him; he was in a good mood that day. “Reflect on your actions and make sure this doesn’t happen again in the future.”
“Understood, Mr. Rainsworth.” Only then did Mason leave.
Meanwhile, Cassandra had been particularly troubled of late. Not only was Queenie treating her with increasing indifference, but she could only watch as Cecilia took over the Evans family’s business without being able to do anything about it.
Ralph was still hospitalized, and no major media outlets dared to report on the incident, primarily out of fear of offending Nathaniel.
“I don’t understand why the media would be afraid of someone who doesn’t even own a company,” Cassandra lamented.
Riley, sitting beside her, tried to comfort her. “Nathaniel’s influence in Tudela is deep–seated and profound. Even now, his lingering impact can still be felt.”
Cassandra sighed. “What has Nicholas been up to lately?”
She had once thought that after their marriage, she and Nicholas would grow closer, but now she realized that nothing had changed from before they tied the knot.
Nicholas showed no interest in accompanying her, making her feel as if she were still single and alone.
“Mr. Nicholas basically spends all his days at the company now. Sometimes he doesn’t even return to Rainsworth Manor,” Riley replied, shaking her head.
“He didn’t go meet that b*tch, did he?” Cassandra asked again.
Cassandra heaved a sigh of relief before taking out her phone.
As she was scrolling, she came across a news headline: Superstar Eric had signed a collaboration agreement with Ceci Corporation, becoming the company’s leading star.

“Ceci Corporation?” The name echoed in Cassandra’s mind, feeling oddly familiar. She decided to do a little digging, only to discover that the legal representative of Ceci Corporation was none other than Cecilia.
She clicked to read the news again, and as expected, it clarified that the rumors circulating in the media were all misunderstandings. Cecilia and Eric were merely engaged in business negotiations, with no romantic involvement whatsoever.
Realization instantly dawned on the netizens. One commenter noted: So it turns out that someone with ulterior motives twisted the situation. I wondered how a big star like Eric would end up with Cecilia, a composer.
Another person echoed: Exactly! Cecilia may be attractive and competent, but she’s already a mother of two. And don’t forget what Cecilia mentioned earlier–she’s married to Nathaniel, who is her legitimate husband. When Nathaniel was at his peak, no celebrity could compete with him.
Someone else defended Eric: Hey, Eric is not that bad too, okay…
Netizens began to engage in heated exchanges. Nevertheless, such arguments did not hinder Eric’s joining Ceci Corporation; in fact, it served as publicity for the event.
Cassandra gripped her phone tightly. “Darn it! How on earth did Cecilia manage to sign Eric? And it’s a lifetime contract. Are you kidding me?”
Riley couldn’t provide an answer either.
Similarly, Mason was also at his wit’s end.
He showed the news to Nathaniel. “I believe Mrs. Rainsworth was the one who paid off Eric’s penalty.”
