When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1761

Chapter 1761 Stella Begs Nathaniel
Cecilia had only gotten Stella blacklisted, yet the woman was already unraveling, her panic bordering on hysteria.

“Mr. Rainsworth, I beg you, for the sake of our past relationship!” Stella pleaded desperately.

<i>Past relationship?</i>

Nathaniel recalled their past, his gaze filled with disgust.

“Stella, you actually have the audacity to bring that up?” His voice dropped to an icy whisper as he took slow, deliberate steps toward her. A suffocating chill radiated from him, making Stella instinctively shrink back.

At that moment, she was truly afraid.

“I had no choice!” she blurted out, her voice trembling. “It was Mr. Nicholas—he ordered me to do it! If I hadn't obeyed, he would've taken my life!”

<i>Nicholas again?</i>

Nathaniel's patience with Nicholas had already worn thin. This time, he was done. Once and for all, he would make sure Nicholas was sent to a place where he could never cause trouble again.

“You fear for your life at his hands,” Nathaniel murmured, his gaze sharp as a blade. “But did it never occur to you that you should fear me more?”

Stella still wanted to explain, but before she could utter another word, a car pulled up nearby. Sven and Charlotte had just finished their work for the day. As soon as the vehicle stopped, they stepped out one after the other.

“Stella!” Charlotte's voice rang out, laced with fury. Her eyes blazed with contempt as she stormed forward. “Are you trying to ruin Boss' family again? How can you be so shameless?”

Stella had long abandoned any shred of dignity. Her body trembled slightly as she forced a weak smile. “Ms. Talbot, you've misunderstood. I came here hoping that Mr. Rainsworth and Cecilia would show me mercy.”

Charlotte let out a cold laugh. “Then why didn't you show Boss some mercy back then?”

Stella lowered her head, falling into a defeated silence.

Charlotte scoffed. She had no sympathy for someone so heartless.

Turning to Nathaniel, she asked, “Mr. Rainsworth, how should we deal with this person?”

Nathaniel's voice was void of warmth as he issued his order. “Throw her out.”

Cecilia had instructed him to keep Stella alive—she would deal with her personally.

“All right,” Charlotte responded without hesitation, rolling up her sleeves, fully prepared to take action herself.

Just as she was about to step forward, Sven reached out and caught her hand. “Let the men handle it.”
