When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 983 One Of Their Own

“No need to investigate further, and don’t worry about this matter anymore.” After Nathaniel gave the order, he hung up the phone, leaving Mason confused and bewildered.

Who would have thought that their own family would take a slice of their own cake?

The key was–it was Cecilia!

Nathaniel definitely wouldn’t do anything to Cecilia.

In the bedroom, Cecilia came in from the balcony and lay down to sleep.

Tomorrow, she would announce her great achievement to everyone and give Miranda a hard slap in the face.

Nathaniel finished washing up and came in. Pulling the covers aside, he embraced her.

Before he could ask anything, Cecilia was already excited. “Nathaniel, I’ve been so happy these past two days!”

Nathaniel had certainly noticed her happiness. He thought it was because they were together, but little did he know it was because she had snatched his project.

“What happened to make you so happy?” He still wasn’t sure and wanted to ask.

Cecilia had nothing to hide now, “Let me tell you, a few days ago, I made a bet with Miranda. I bet that I could steal Imminence Corporation’s project. No one believed me.”

Nathaniel’s eyebrows lifted slightly.

It really was you! My wife, indeed. If you hadn’t given me this surprise, I wouldn’t have believed it either.

As he battled internally, he heard Cecilia continue, “Of course, I wasn’t going to take that. Those people are too timid and defensive, never daring to make the first move. Orion Corporation is such a big company. You managed it so well in the past, but now it’s become so cautious. So, I just went ahead and targeted Imminence Corporation’s most important project and took it! And I did it so easily.”

Cecilia’s eyes sparkled with joy.

Nathaniel, who should have been crying inside, couldn’t help but smile along with her as he could feel her happiness.

“My wife is amazing.”

The only person bold enough to take something from him like that was Cecilia.

And she was the only one who could steal something from him and still get praised.

Cecilia became even more excited. “Do you know what I stole?”

Nathaniel had to pretend he didn’t know. “What?”

“A massive piece of land! I think Imminence Corporation has really big ambitions. I ruined their plans so

In her mind, Orion Corporation was still the company Nathaniel had built from the ground up. She didn’t want to watch it go under.

Nathaniel held Cecilia tighter. “Silly girl, whether Orion Corporation thrives has nothing to do with us.”

Cecilia thought he was still bothered by Nicholas taking his position.

She wasn’t the one involved, so it wasn’t her place to stand on the moral high ground and criticize Nathaniel.

“Well, I’m just an employee, and I’ve done my job.”

Nathaniel kissed her forehead. “Someday, we’ll have a company that’s truly ours.”

“Okay.” Cecilia thought he was just trying to cheer her up and didn’t take his words seriously.

She leaned into Nathaniel’s embrace, her excitement gradually fading. Soon, she fell asleep.

The next day, she overslept again.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

When Cecilia woke up and checked the time, she exclaimed, “It’s already ten! These alarms are completely useless!”

She hurriedly got up and washed up.

As expected, Nathaniel was still waiting for her.

“Let’s go, let’s go.”

“You haven’t had breakfast yet.” Nathaniel frowned.

“There’s no time. I’ll eat in the car.” Cecilia grabbed a sandwich and headed out.

She remembered Miranda had mentioned a meeting today at half past ten, where Cecilia would have to report her results.
