When Her “Death” Couldn’t Break Him
Chapter 1311 A Weirdo
Cecília was somewhat at a loss for words.
She playfully teased Nathaniel, “How would I know? I’ve never tried it before.”
Nathaniel noticeably stiffened as he held onto her arm
“Do you still want to give it a try?”
Cecilia looked at him directly. “Didn’t you ask me? How can I answer you if I don’t give it a try?”
Nathaniel knew she was just joking, yet he still felt a bit uneasy in his heart.
“No need. I don’t want to know the answer to that question.”

“You’re so fickle. I thought you were keen on challenging him. However, Eric is even younger than me. It’s clear that young people have more energy. We’re both old folks with kids, so we really shouldn’t be competing with the young ones in terms of stamina,” Cecilia said teasingly.
Nathaniel wore a look of smug defiance. “Even if I were to be as old as seventy or eighty, I’d still be in better shape than him. If you don’t believe me, just wait until we’re old, and we’ll see.”
The two of them, sharing laughter and conversation, arrived at the car.
Instinctively, the driver removed the visor, and he sighed. When Mr. Rainsworth and Mrs. Rainsworth were not getting along, they argued every day. Now that they’re on good terms again, I, the single guy, am being tormented.
The two of them chatted quite a bit in the car, and unexpectedly, Nathaniel asked, “What made you suddenly decide to sign with Eric?”
He was a typical man, so naturally, he would get jealous.
“Because Eric is very popular, and he excels in every aspect. Signing him is beneficial for our company. Besides, we’re friends.”
After finishing her sentence, Cecilia seemed to remember something and couldn’t help but complain to Nathaniel, “You didn’t know about this, but he previously signed a three–year contract with Imminence Corporation. The boss of that company was so unreasonable, simply a weirdo.”
A weirdo? Nathaniel’s mouth twitched slightly. Patiently, he asked, “What do you mean?”
“Typically, when someone signs a major star, they would do everything possible to have them gene
GHID value for the company and to make them even more popular and famous. However, after the boss Imminence Corporation signed Eric, he surprisingly had him shoot a series of weird advertisements and even sent him off to Alendor. It was as if he was deliberately ruining him. Initially, I thought the boss of Imminence Corporation was a gutsy visionary, capable of challenging Orion Corporation. Now, however, I think he’s just a total pervert. Sooner or later, Imminence Corporation is bound to fail under his leadership.”
Nathaniel silently listened as Cecilia berated him. He initially wanted to tell her the truth, but he found himself unable to speak up.
“I didn’t expect he would be such a terrible person in your eyes.”

“If not? He might have used some underhanded tactics, but I must admit that I need to learn from him. How did he manage to establish such a successful company in just a few months?” said Cecilia.
Nathaniel had always thought that he was worth nothing in Cecilia’s eyes. However, he felt better when he finally heard her praising him.
“You can learn from me. Wherever you’re unsure, I’ll guide you through it step by step.”
Cecilia nodded repeatedly. “All right. I’ll remember that”
“Okay.”
Upon arriving at the Smith residence, Cecilia was helped out of the car by Nathaniel. From a distance, they could already see a woman pacing back and forth at the front door.
The woman was clad in a red backless gown, her body marred with scars. If one didn’t look closely, it would be impossible to recognize her as the once naive and modestly dressed Jessica.
“Is that Jessica?” Cecilia was taken aback. “Isn’t she supposed to be with Blaine? What’s going on?”
Upon hearing the sound of an approaching car, Jessica turned around. She saw Nathaniel and Cecilia and ran toward them.
Nathaniel slightly furrowed his brows, shielding Cecilia behind him.
“Nathaniel! Cecilia!” Jessica called out to the two of them, her voice laced with a sob.
Nathaniel asked with an indifferent expression, “What’s the matter?”
Jessica saw the state Nathaniel was in, and she didn’t expect that he had truly recovered.
She was filled with regret then. Why did I leave back then? Why did I seek out Blaine?
