When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 381

Chapter 381 How Much Debt
Afraid that Mason didn't understand what he meant, Nathaniel continued, “I don't want Ceci to think that I lied to her just to avoid divorcing her.”

Mason understood immediately. I'm assuming Mrs. Rainsworth is asking for a divorce again. Mr. Rainsworth sure will do anything to prevent that.

Mason pulled out the tablet that he always carried with him and began to crunch the numbers. “Nicholas only transferred Mr. Rainsworth's shares and assets, not including the debts. If Nicholas isn't responsible for them, a conservative estimate of the debt would be at least a hundred billion as Mr. Rainsworth previously ordered the acquisition of many projects.”

Mason then showed the project prices to Cecilia.

After going through everything, Cecilia felt lightheaded and overwhelmed.

She pursed her lips tightly, wondering how many songs she would have to write to repay such a large sum of money. Wait a second. Why should I pay the debt? It's not like I was the one who incurred it.

“Don't worry, Ceci. I promise I'll work hard to pay back the debts,” Nathaniel assured her.

Work hard? Cecilia thought about his work as a charity assistant, fearing that it might take him several lifetimes to repay all the debt.

“Regardless, I hope you resolve this issue as soon as possible, whether it means reaching out to Elena or Nicholas,” said Cecilia. Elena isn't Paula. Based on how well I've seen her treat Nathaniel in the past, I doubt she'll abandon him.

After managing to navigate through the situation, Nathaniel immediately agreed. “All right.”

Jonathan had been secretly eavesdropping on the conversation among the group, unable to believe that his sc*mbag daddy was truly out of money. He vividly remembered the time he had stolen from his father's private stash because the string of numbers involved was so long he could never forget.

Immediately, Jonathan retreated to his small room to investigate.

He didn't believe that Nathaniel was broke. However, the account he previously accessed indeed didn't have a single penny left, which he thought was strange.

“Could it be that sc*mbag daddy not only lost his memories but also his intelligence?” Jonathan couldn't help but worry for himself and his mother.

For one, he was concerned if he would inherit his father's fate of becoming stupid after having a minor car accident in the future.

His second concern was that his mother might be taken advantage of.

“I'm also aware that you stole seven billion and nine hundred million from my account,” Nathaniel responded nonchalantly.

“You've regained your memory?” Jonathan instantly felt as if Nathaniel had gotten dirt on him.

Nathaniel, however, shook his head. “Mason told me. There's no need to recover my memories for something like this. What do you think Ceci will do if she knows what you're up to? Who do you think the police will arrest if I call them?”

Jonathan never expected that his sc*mbag daddy would actually threaten a child.

He clenched his small fists. “No one will believe that a child could steal from a businessman.”

“Indeed, you're right,” Nathaniel said, smirking. “They'll arrest your guardian instead. I wonder if your father will be willing to go to jail for you.”

Jonathan was itching to punch him as he stared.

However, he inexplicably asked, “If your son makes a mistake, will you be willing to go to jail for him?”
