When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 925 My Husband

However, not talking about Elliot didn’t mean they wouldn’t talk about Cecilia.

Each of them held their heads high. “My husband has been traveling overseas for business every day lately. He has so many deals to negotiate and hasn’t had time to come here with me.”

“My husband is the same. Every day he has to work and meet clients. He couldn’t come with me this time either.”

“Let’s not talk about that.”

On the surface, they were complaining about their husbands being busy, but in reality, they were boasting about their husbands‘ capabilities.

Someone even flattered Cassandra, “No matter how busy our husbands are, they can’t be busier than Nicholas. Now that Nathaniel isn’t in charge, Orion Corporation is managed by him, and yet he still finds time to be with his wife.”

Cassandra smirked proudly, “That’s because Nicholas is considerate of me. No matter how busy he is, he always makes time to accompany me for my check–ups.”

Everyone chimed in with their own words, but Cecilia acted as if she hadn’t heard a thing.

Elliot focused on eating his meal, understanding that these ladies were purposely saying all this for his mother to hear.

Perhaps noticing that Cecilia remained unmoved, one of them directly addressed her, “Cecilia, you have it easy. Now that Nathaniel can’t see, he doesn’t have to work and can be with you every day.”

Cecilia paused. “Yes, we have money and don’t need to work. We have it easy.”

The others were momentarily speechless.

Elliot had finished eating and asked curiously, “Who said my daddy doesn’t work? He has a big company.”

The cousins were surprised.

“Eli, your daddy has a company? Where is it?”

They didn’t believe that someone like Nathaniel, who had lost his sight, could still run a company.

Elliot gazed at them. “Do you want to know?”

“Yes.”

“I’m not telling you.” Elliot had seen Nathaniel’s company before, and it was certainly no smaller than Orion Corporation.

All he could say was that these ladies were ignorant.

Seeing that Elliot wouldn’t say, the others felt disdain.

It must be a small company barely getting by, which was why he felt embarrassed to mention it.

Seeing that Elliot had finished eating, Cecilia took him by the hand, eager to leave this place full of trouble.

“Cecilia, are you leaving?” one of them asked.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Yes, we’re full. You can continue eating,” Cecilia replied.

After she and Elliot left, the sound of the women’s mocking laughter could be heard behind them.

“She’s so pretentious. Does she think Nathaniel is still the man he used to be?”

“Exactly, and she’s not the Smith family’s prominent young lady anymore either.”

“A deaf woman and a blind man, truly a perfect match

Overhearing this, Jessica was a little upset. “I think Nathaniel is still doing well. It’s mainly Cecilia, who’s a jinx. If it weren’t for her, Nathaniel wouldn’t have gone blind.”

After hearing that, the others quickly agreed.

“Right, I heard that before Nathaniel went blind, he was planning to divorce Cecilia, wasn’t he?”

This immediately piqued Jessica’s interest.

“Really?”

“You can look up the news from back then. It caused a stir.”

Jessica didn’t say anything more, but she made a mental note of it.

She was curious why Niel hadn’t punished Cecilia yet, especially since she was pregnant with someone else’s child.

“I’ve had my fill. I’ll be leaving first.”

Jessica got up and limped away.

The Rainsworth cousins never thought much Jessica, who was from the Quill family. If it weren’t for Niel, they wouldn’t even bother eating with her.

Sensing Jessica’s thoughts, Cassandra said her goodbyes to the others and followed after her.
