When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 105

Chapter 105 I Stopped Loving Him Long Ago. 

Thinking it was Cecilia, Nathaniel reached for his phone quickly. But when he looked at the screen, he realized it was Stella. 

He answered the call with a hint of impatience. From the other end, Stella’s voice came through, sounding choked with tears, “Nathaniel, you have to help me. Those news on the internet are all malicious rumors spread by someone.” 

Those news on the internet? 

Nathaniel recalled the news about Stella’s plagiarism scandal at the birthday banquet. 

“Someone sent me and my company a lawyer’s letter today, accusing my new song ‘Ray of Light in the Dark‘ of plagiarism. There’s also a lawyer spreading rumors online that I built my career on plagiarism. I honestly don’t know what to do now.” 

Upon hearing that, Nathaniel couldn’t help but frown. 

“I got it.” 

After hanging up the phone, Nathaniel promptly sent a message to the legal department. The gist of it was to deal with the rumor–mongers. 

He didn’t bother checking the articles online, nor did he have any interest in doing so. 

As such, he was unaware that the online narrative depicted how Stella managed to secure resources through sponsorships since birth, and how she later climbed the social ladder abroad by relying on wealthy men. It also described how she plagiarized and exploited one plagiarist 

after another. 

Neither did he know that the lawyer Stella mentioned was none other than Cecilia’s friend, Vivian. 

Vivian personally penned the rise–to–success story of Stella, which quickly skyrocketed to the top of the trending list. 

She simply wanted to stand up for her best friend. 

However, in less than half an hour, all the trending topics regarding the issue had been taken. down. 

An hour later, Cecilia was just about to head to the office when she received a call from the police, asking her to bail out Vivian. 

She rushed to the police station, still unaware of what had transpired. 

The first thing that met her eyes was the nicely dressed Stella, sitting in the waiting area, with her friend, Yvette. 

When Stella saw Cecilia approaching, she took a pre–emptive strike by standing up and

positioning herself in front of the latter. 

“Ceci, I know you hate me, but how can you let your friend spread rumors and slander me online? Do you have any idea how hard it’s been for me to get to where I am now? She almost ruined me!” 

Yvette quickly stepped forward. “Stella, why bother talking to someone like her who lacks morals? She deserved to have her friend rot in jail so that they’ll understand the price they have to pay spreading rumors!” 

Cecilia finally figured out what was going on. “If anything happens to Vivian, I swear you won’t get away with it!” 

for 

She was heading toward the bail area, but having barely taken a couple of steps, Stella’s voice rang out from behind again. 

“Ceci, it wasn’t my decision to arrest Vivian. It was Nathaniel who ordered it.” 

The reason why Cecilia received the call to bail Vivian was because Stella had someone make it.. She intentionally wanted the former to witness the consequences of opposing her. 

Cecilia halted in her tracks momentarily, but without uttering a word, she continued forward. 

An hour soon passed. 

Cecilia was unable to bail out Vivian, as Nathaniel had mobilized the entire legal department. 

Vivian had to be detained for at least seven days, but she played it off as if nothing happened. “It’s fine. I’ll consider it as experiencing life.” 

“I’m sorry.” Cecilia didn’t know what else to say, so she could only apologize. 

She knew that everything Vivian posted online was made solely for her sake. 

She also understood that Vivian was arrested because of her. 

“Don’t apologize. It’s not your fault. Nathaniel is really a jerk. I’ve posted so much evidence online. Is he blind or what? Why is he still protecting that b*tch? I really don’t understand, what’s so great about her? It’s as if all the men are blind. They’re always on her side!” 

Cecilia reached out and hugged her tenderly, unsure of what to say. 

Be it in the past, when she was still married to Nathaniel, or even now, he was always standing on Stella’s side, regardless of whether she was right or wrong. 

Vivian knew that the one who was undoubtedly having the hardest time right now was Cecilia. 

“Ceci, don’t be upset. He’s a sc*mbag. It’s not worth it.” 

Cecilia found herself choking up.
