When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1412

Chapter 1412 Darren Is Behind It
She elaborated, “The company's operations have come to a standstill, and a group of people is causing a commotion outside. They've even brought along media reporters, making it almost impossible to disperse the crowd.” Charlotte, who typically managed smaller operations overseas for Cecilia, was unaccustomed to handling crises of this magnitude.

Nathaniel, however, remained composed. With quiet authority, he began issuing clear and methodical instructions to address the situation.

When Calvin arrived, he initially intended to step in and take charge. However, upon seeing Nathaniel already handling the situation, he chose to remain on the sidelines.

Nearby, Madeline approached him hesitantly, her face pale with worry. “Mr. Calvin, I'm truly sorry. The project you assigned to me... it failed again.”

Her voice wavered with uncertainty, and it was clear she was deeply questioning her own abilities, unable to pinpoint where she had gone wrong.

Calvin listened patiently and, instead of reproaching her, spoke candidly. “Madeline, don't blame yourself for this. If I were in your position—a minor employee—facing constant obstruction from a corporate boss, I doubt I would have succeeded either.”

Madeline froze, her expression shifting from guilt to confusion. “What do you mean?”

Calvin sighed, meeting her gaze. “I don't intend to interfere in your relationship with Darren, but based on my investigation, every project I assigned to you was deliberately sabotaged by the Faust family.”

Madeline's heart sank, a wave of anger and betrayal surging through her. “I knew it!” she exclaimed, her voice trembling.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she turned back to Calvin. “Mr. Calvin, thank you for telling me the truth. I'm deeply sorry that my personal matters caused harm to your project.”

Calvin, his hands clasped casually on the table, offered her a calm yet reassuring smile. “Don't worry about it. You're a friend of Ceci's, which makes you my friend as well. This project is a minor matter—nothing worth dwelling on.”

“Thank you,” Madeline said sincerely, bowing respectfully before leaving his office.

The moment she stepped outside, she pulled out her phone and dialed Darren's number. “You’re quite underhanded, don't you think?”
