When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1349

Chapter 1349 This Is My Mall
The salesperson shook her head, caught between conflicting emotions.

Cassandra, not one to let the moment slip, pressed on. “Since no one's paid yet, I'll be making my purchase now.”

Charlotte, holding the clothes they had picked, was visibly upset. “We haven't paid yet because we're still deciding, not because we can't afford it. Shopping has an order to it, right?”

But Cecilia, ever calm and pragmatic, gently tugged Charlotte's arm. “Forget it, Lottie. Just give her the clothes. We can buy from another store.”

Cecilia knew there was no point in getting into a petty argument with people like Cassandra.

She was nearing the end of her pregnancy, and the last thing she needed was unnecessary stress. What mattered most now was having a healthy delivery. There'd be plenty of time to settle scores later.

Though Charlotte reluctantly handed over the clothes to the salesperson, she did so with clear frustration on her face.

The salesperson, feeling a bit regretful, murmured, “Thank you.”

At that moment, Stella attempted to soften the tension. “Cassandra, why don't we let them have a few of the clothes? We've already bought plenty for the baby today.”

Cassandra raised an eyebrow, her expression amused. “True, my mom had a designer make custom clothes for the baby. These low-grade items are better suited for them.”

The two women—one playing the villain and the other pretending to be generous—were nauseating in their act. Charlotte, if not for the fact that Cecilia was pregnant, felt she might have completely lost her temper.

“Boss, they've really gone too far this time!” Charlotte muttered under her breath.

Cassandra, catching the remark, sneered, “So what if we're crossing the line? What are you going to do about it?”

As the heated exchange escalated, Nathaniel, who had been waiting patiently in the car, realized something was off. When no one returned after a while, he made his way to the mall.

It was one of the malls under Imminence Corporation.

Upon arriving at the store, he overheard Cassandra's arrogant words. His face darkened as he entered. “If you think everything here is such low quality, perhaps you should go shop somewhere more high-end,” he said, his deep voice cutting through the tension.

Could this mall really be owned by Nathaniel? It might be possible when he was still the CEO of Orion Corporation, but now...

Scoffing, Cassandra quickly pulled out her phone. “You must be joking. You just got your eyesight back, and you don't even have a stable career yet. Where on earth would you have gotten an entire shopping mall from?” She was ready to call her uncle and have Nathaniel thrown out.

But Nathaniel was already taking action. He sent a quick message to the person in charge of the mall.

Ten minutes later, Cassandra and Stella were escorted out of the building.

The clothes they had purchased were returned for a refund, and both women found themselves permanently blacklisted from the mall, banned from ever stepping foot inside again.

An hour later, Cecilia and her group emerged from the mall, bags in hand, looking quite pleased. They had managed to pick up more items than they originally planned, only stopping because it was late, and hunger was setting in.

Nathaniel, always practical, made a helpful suggestion. “In the future, if there's this much to carry, have a bodyguard follow to help.”

Cecilia, who hadn't picked anything up for herself, smiled softly. Charlotte and the others, however, had their hands full with clothes, thrilled at the free spree.
