When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

When the spy was finally dismissed, she remained completely oblivious to the fact that her betrayal had been exposed long before that day.

*Boss, did you… perhaps misunderstand something?” she stammered.

Cecilia, however, had no interest in indulging her pleas or engaging in any more unnecessary conversation. Instead, she simply presented her with a series of d’mming pieces of evidence, each one more incriminating than the last.

“It’s better if we part on good terms, Cecilia said coldly,

Meanwhile, the project that Miranda had previously taken control of had been returned to Team Five, and the employees couldn’t help but admire Cecilia’s handling of the situation. True to her word, she hadn’t disappointed her subordinates; she had dealt with the crisis swiftly and efficiently.

Once Cecilia had wrapped up all the company’s affairs, as promised, she made her way to see Elena.

When Elena saw Cecilia’s radiant smile, she immediately waved her over. “Ceci, come here and sit down with me.”

Cecilia took a seat next to her.

*How have you been feeling lately?” Elena asked, her voice filled with genuine concern. “Isn’t it exhausting, working so hard every single day like this?”

Cecilia shook her head gently. “No, everything’s fine. The doctor said the baby is developing well. I haven’t had any discomfort, and I’m not feeling tired at all.”

Elena’s fondness for Cecilia seemed to grow deeper with each passing day. Lowering her voice, she leaned in a little closer. “Did you… arrange that situation with Miranda?” she asked.

Cecilia didn’t hesitate to answer. “I had no other choice. Adrian gave all of my best projects to her and left us with a complete mess to clean up.”

Upon hearing this, Elena nodded thoughtfully, her expression serious. “You did the right thing,” she said with conviction. “But you need to be careful. The people in Adrian’s family are all small–minded. They’ll definitely try to find a way to save face and retaliate”

“I know,” Cecilia replied. “Ill be cautious.”

“Good,” Elena said, her voice softening. “But don’t worry too much. As long as I’m still here, I’ve got your back. I’ll make sure you and Nathaniel don’t have to deal with unnecessary troubles.”

After they finished discussing the business matters, they decided to head out together to pick up Elliot from preschool.

When Elena’s car pulled up in front of the entrance, quite a few onlookers couldn’t help but turn their heads in her direction.

“Isn’t that one of Orion Corporation’s cars?”

“That’s a limited–edition car… and look, there’s even a bodyguard! Does that mean one of Orion Corporation’s senior management has their child studying here too?”

Although the parents gathered there were all fairly wealthy and important in their own right, they rarely had any interactions with the senior management of Orion Corporation. Seeing a member of the powerful Rainsworth family at such a local preschool was certainly unexpected.

Don’t the Rainsworth family children usually attend the most prestigious international preschools?

Initially, Cecilia had sent Elliot to this kindergarten because she had been concerned that Felix might bully her. As they arrived, Cecilia noticed the curious glances from the other parents, leaving her slightly puzzled.

“Why isn’t Eli going to the same school as Jon?” Elena asked, a note of curiosity in her voice.

tone firm. “Felix, that brat, has been spoiled by his grandfather since he was little. Given Eli’s delicate health, it’s best Felix stays away from him.”

“By the way,” Elena continued, her voice lowering slightly. “Is Felix still giving Jon trouble?”

Cecilia let out a small chuckle. “Not anymore. I heard from Jon that Felix’s attitude has improved. He listens to Jon a lot these days.

Elena sighed in relief. “That’s good to hear. After all, how could my grandson possibly be bullied by someone else?” she said, her pride evident in her voice. Throughout his young life. Nathaniel had always been the one standing tall against others, not the one being pushed around.

As they chatted, the school bell rang, signaling the end of classes for the day.

Cecilia pulled out her phone and dialed Elliot’s wristwatch, “Eli, Grandma and I are here to pick you up. We’re waiting at the main entrance.”

Upon hearing that his mom and grandma were outside waiting for him, Elliot’s face lit up with excitement. He quickly said goodbye to a few of the little girls who were fond of him, sending them a playful blown kiss, before rushing outside to meet his family.

When the other parents caught sight of Elliot, they couldn’t help but comment on his appearance. “This child is so good- looking

“He’s not just handsome; there’s something familiar about him… like I’ve seen him somewhere before.”

Hearing this, Elliot quickly pulled the collar of his shirt up to cover his face. He was quite well–known online at the time, and the last thing he wanted was to be recognized in public.
