When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 283

Chapter 283 Marital Asset
Sven swerved and stopped the car in front of Cecilia. “Get in the car.”

Without any hesitation, Cecilia climbed in.

“There will be trouble.”

After noticing Sven a few days ago, Nathaniel had immediately sent his men to investigate him.

He learned that Sven was Calvin's personal bodyguard who had been assigned to watch over Cecilia.

Nathaniel had been disturbed to find out from his men that Sven had followed Cecilia to Tudela.

“Are they living together now?”

Nathaniel recalled the bodyguard's physique. He had delicate, refined features, and strong eyes. He looked unlike the usual bodyguard.

“The woman stayed the night at Vivian's house, while the man slept in his car,” Nathaniel's man replied.

Nathaniel's furrowed brows finally relaxed. “Understood. Keep watching her.”

“Roger that.”

Their pending divorce remained a secret.

The outside world remained oblivious, and no insider dared to leak the story. After all, it concerned Nathaniel and the entire Rainsworth Group.

Two days before the divorce hearing was to take place, an article titled “Daughter-in-Law of a Prominent Family Fakes Death and Files for Divorce, Billions in Assets Potentially Split” trended as the top search result on the internet.

The text clearly stated that the daughter-in-law of the wealthy family was a daughter of the Smith family.

It was obvious that the news were referring to the Rainsworth family, the most prominent family in Tudela.

The writer of the piece had even added a photo of Cecilia.

The news reported that Cecilia, the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family, had not received care and concern from her husband and mother-in-law after marrying into their family. Instead, she faced various forms of harsh criticism.

In the end, Cecilia had fallen gravely ill, and she had no choice but to fake her own death and flee the country.

After recovering from her illness, she returned to her country, determined to divorce Nathaniel and divide their substantial marital wealth.

Upon the release of this report, the stocks of Rainsworth Group hit the floor, causing a significant uproar online.

Comments poured in.

In the restaurant, Elena spoke, “I saw the news today. Are you really going to divorce Nathaniel?”

“Yes,” Cecilia confirmed.

“Why do you have to make this divorce a public spectacle? Can't you both handle this privately?” Elena suppressed her rising anger. “Do you realize that this divorce will affect Nathaniel differently? Unlike you, he leads the Rainsworth Group. He's not just any ordinary man.”

“If he's willing to settle this privately, I won't proceed with the lawsuit.”

In an instant, Elena understood and unexpectedly, she found herself holding onto Cecilia's hand.

“Drop the lawsuit, will you? As long as you're willing, I won't interfere with how you and Nathaniel decide to live your lives from now on. I'll welcome you back to our family.”

Startled by her sudden change, Cecilia pulled away her hand. “I'm sorry. I won't withdraw the lawsuit.”

She stood up, ready to leave.

Seeing her stubbornness, Elena clenched her fists and spat, “Cecilia, Nathaniel worked hard to build Rainsworth Group from ground up. Divorce him all you want, but you won't receive any part of Rainsworth Group!”

It was then that Cecilia understood why there was such a drastic change in Elena's behavior.

Turns out, she was afraid of the division of their marital asset.
