When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him Novel

Chapter 99 Hide Her Identity

“Mhm.” After mulling it over, Cecilia reminded Vivian, “Stella has no idea that I am Cecille, and I prefer to keep it that way.”

“All right,” Vivian replied.

Ever since the last time Stella revealed that she knew the whereabouts of Paula and Magnus, Cecilia decided to conceal her identity as much as possible.

Otherwise, if Paula and Magnus found Cecilia in the future, it would lead to endless complications.

Every time she thought about Paula’s relentless demands and Magnus‘ betrayal, she felt utterly disheartened.

After having a thorough conversation with Vivian about the lawsuit against Stella, Cecilia was preparing to leave.

However, Vivian stopped her. “We seldom get together like this, and Jon is still in school. Let’s go for a stroll in the nearby mall.”

Cecilia couldn’t resist her and agreed.

Then, the two of them went to the largest commercial center in Tudela.

Vivian remarked, “Even though Nathaniel is a bit of a jerk, you can’t deny his prowess. Look at this place. There’s a shopping district like this in every state across the country. Imagine how much money a place like this makes over the course of a year. Then there’s the real estate, properties, and internet ventures… There are so many projects he could be responsible for. I don’t even dare to think about how much wealth he had amassed.”

Upon hearing those words, Cecilia was genuinely impressed. “It seems Nathaniel truly propelled both Rainsworth Group and Orion Corporation into a new era over the past few years.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Mhm. It would be even better if he was more moral,” Vivian said, holding Cecilia’s hand as they walked into the mall.

Upon arriving at a high–end clothing store, they were quickly greeted and attended to by a staff member.

Vivian went to try on clothes, leaving Cecilia waiting in the rest area. Unbeknownst to her, a customer inside the store had already noticed her.

The woman pointed at Vivian, who had just emerged in a new outfit, and declared, “I’ll take this dress.”

All the clothes there were unique designs, so Vivian couldn’t help but frown. “What are you saying? I set my eyes on this dress first!”

The woman scoffed, “So what if you saw it first? Did you pay for it?”

Vivian, refusing to back down, addressed the receptionist, “I’ll take this one.”

After she finished speaking, she instructed the receptionist to swipe the card..

However, the woman was relentless and brought out her own card.

The receptionist was rather troubled. Meanwhile, the ongoing dispute had caught Cecilia’s attention.

She stepped out and immediately recognized the woman, Yvette, who was the third daughter of the Harrison family and Stella’s friend.

“Vivian, what’s wrong?” Cecilia stepped forward, asking.

“This woman is deliberately causing trouble. I spotted the dress first, yet she tried to snatch it from me.” Vivian didn’t know Yvette, but her disdain for the latter had already reached its peak.

“I was wondering how we ended up eyeing the same dress. Turns out you’re a friend of Cecilia.” Yvette spoke with a cold, mocking tone. “It doesn’t surprise me now, considering Cecilia’s. penchant for taking what others have, men included.”

“What did you just say? Watch your tongue!” Vivian was instantly furious.

“Did you not hear what I said clearly? Let me repeat it, then. Cecilia has a penchant for stealing other people’s men-

The surrounding customers and staff had all turned to look at the commotion.

Before Yvette could finish her sentence, Cecilia had already arrived in front of her and slapped her violently.

The sharp, burning pain on her cheek left Yvette stunned on the spot.

“Watch your mouth!” Cecilia admonished.

Yvette was not one to be trifled with. She immediately prepared to fight with Cecilia.

Vivian quickly rolled up her sleeves. “It’s two against one, b*tch! You’d better not regret!”

Cecilia was speechless.

Upon hearing that, Yvette quickly stepped back, shouting at the surrounding shop assistants. “What are you all gawking at? Get them out of here now! Not anyone is allowed in here! Do you even know who I am?

Compared to Yvette’s disheveled appearance, Cecilia appeared much calmer.

She handed over her exclusive VIP card to the store clerk. “Escort her out.”
