When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 532

Chapter 532 Pretense And Insincerity
The social gathering took place at Four Seasons Hotel, where many familiar faces could be seen.

Zachary brought Jonathan along as well because George suggested that it was important for Jonathan to start familiarizing himself with the business world early on.

Zachary glanced down at the little one, who barely reached his knees. “Brat, remember to call me 'Daddy' later.”

Jonathan looked up at him. “Call you what?”

“Daddy.”

“Ugh!”

Zachary was rendered speechless.

Watching the mini version of Nathaniel, Zachary playfully slapped him on the butt. While you're still young, there are times when discipline is necessary.

For reasons unknown, spanking Jonathan had brought his childhood to a fulfilling closure.

That was because when Zachary was a child, he often got beaten up by Nathaniel.

Jonathan had just been spanked, and his face flushed with embarrassment. He then immediately distanced himself from Zachary.

After introducing Jonathan to a few people in a nonchalant manner, Zachary retreated to a corner to drink. He wasn't fond of such gatherings, finding them full of pretense and insincerity.

There were quite a few people who tried to ingratiate themselves with him, but he dismissed them all with visible impatience.

Jonathan had to follow Zachary around. Suddenly, he found his gaze locked onto a delicate figure in the distance. Isn't that the bad woman, Stella?

“Mr. Zachary, I need to use the restroom,” Jonathan said.

“Just go by yourself,” Zachary said.

Jonathan rolled his eyes. This man doesn't seem like someone who takes care of a child. After all, I'm only four years old. What if someone kidnaps me?

In the end, Jonathan still went out on his own.

Zachary wasn't worried at all. He was sure that Jonathan, being as smart as he was, would never get lost.

Due to this oversight, he was filled with regret later on.

As soon as Stella arrived at the social gathering, she spotted Zachary. Despite having the reassurance from Nicholas, she was still scared, deliberately hiding herself in an inconspicuous spot among the crowd.

Yvette's fiancé, the third son of the Murdock family, Francis, noticed Stella instantly and started walking toward her.

“Ms. Ross, it's been a long time.”

“Oops! Mister, I'm sorry. It wasn't intentional.”

Everyone's gaze was drawn over.

The man who had led the mockery found himself in a rather embarrassing situation. His trousers had somehow slipped down, revealing his lewd anime-girl underwear. His face turned as red as a beetroot.

“You little brat!”

He raised his hefty hand, ready to strike Jonathan. However, Jonathan wouldn't just stand there and take it. He immediately fled.

The man attempted to give chase, but he hadn't properly put on his pants. As a result, he nearly tripped over himself.

Everyone burst out laughing.

He had no choice but to bow his head and pull on his pants first.

The commotion had also caught the attention of Nathaniel and his group. However, Jonathan was quite little. Amidst the crowd, Mason did not notice him.

After Nathaniel arrived, many of those who once sought his favor then looked down on him with disdain.

Needless to say, Mason noticed the looks on those people's faces. These people may look down on Mr. Rainsworth now, but they will be begging for a collaboration soon.
