When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1133 Rely On Cecilia

Cecilia shot her a glance. “Don’t worry. My main trait is defiance. The more you want me to quit, the less likely I am to do so.”

With that, she brushed past Miranda.

Miranda clenched her fists in frustration. She then entered Adrian’s office with her face full of resentment. “What’s the deal with that little b*tch? How is she still holding up? Have you put any pressure on her?”

Adrian felt a bit guilty. “Of course, I’ve already handed over all the previous messes to her. She must be struggling to cope now.”

Miranda casually took a seat, expressing her satisfaction

“Who knows what kind of luck she stumbled upon? She’s actually managed to secure several major international deals. Now, our department is taking over, and it’s surprisingly easy.”

“Don’t worry about her. See what I bought for you.” Adrian was apprehensive about Miranda discovering anything fishy, so he took the initiative to present her with gifts.

Miranda picked it up and saw that it was an emerald necklace worth a million. “It’s beautiful. Hubby, what’s the occasion today? Why are you giving me a gift?”

Naturally, Adrian didn’t dare to tell her that he needed her personal savings to court Cecilia.

“With you

you around, every day feels like Valentine’s Day, so of course I have to give you a gift.” After he finished speaking, he turned to Miranda and said. “I’ve recently taken an interest in a project, and I need some startup funds,”

“How much do you need?”

“Probably around five hundred million.”

“That much?” Miranda had started to lose some trust in him.

“I know that’s a lot, and I have some personal savings, too. Could you lend me three to four hundred million? I’ll pay you back later,” Adrian persistently pleaded.

Miranda wasn’t naive. She was well aware that Adrian wasn’t cut out for business. In the end, she only agreed to give him one million.

After she returned home, she didn’t forget to post on her Instagram account, showing off the gift she received from Adrian.

The caption read: Marrying the right person makes all the difference. My husband is my chosen one. He told me that every day with me is like Valentine’s Day.

After she shared the post, many people responded with likes and well wishes.

Many were well aware of Adrian’s true character, and only Miranda considered him a treasure.

Cecilia had also seen her post on Instagram. Before that, she had received a message from Adrian that read: I’ll have the money together soon. You must keep your promise.

A wave of nausea washed over Cecilia when she read the message. She didn’t bother to respond, instead simply tossing her phone aside.

In the afternoon, after finishing work, Cecilia was just about to leave when Magnus, whom she hadn’t seen since the funeral, sought her out.

“Cecilia, my lawsuit with Ralph is about to go to court soon.” Magnus was standing in the office, brimming with confidence.

At Paula’s funeral, he had collected a considerable sum of money. If he were to win this lawsuit, he would amass a significant fortune.

“All right. Feel free to tell me if you need any help. I have some evidence here. I’ll send it to you right now.”

Although the two weren’t blood siblings, Cecilia was raised by Regas. She also hoped that the Smith family’s wealth could be returned to Magnus‘ hands.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Thank you so much, Cecilia. You’re like a real sister to me,” Magnus said.

Cecilia gave a light laugh. “You should manage the Smith family well in the future.”

Magnus repeatedly nodded, hesitating for a moment before he couldn’t help but reveal the main purpose of his visit.

“Cecilia, I’ve learned that Nicholas is set to marry Cassandra.”

“Yes. It’s on the first of next month,” Cecilia responded.

“Cecilia, you can’t just stand by and watch Nicholas marry Cassandra.”

Although Magnus and Cassandra shared the same mother but had different fathers, Magnus was well aware that Cassandra had no inclination to show him any kindness.

In other words, he still had to rely on Cecilia.
