When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 615

Chapter 615 The Competition To Stand Out
Initially, Cecilia thought that acquiring the shares would be a difficult task. However, it didn't even take an entire morning because she paid three times the market price to purchase them, surpassing Niel and becoming the largest shareholder of the international preschool with a fifty-four percent stake.

Once the paperwork was done, Erwin personally escorted her to the door.

Sven drove her to the Rainsworth Manor.

The current residents of Rainsworth Manor were Niel and Wren's family in the east wing while Robert's family resided in the west wing.

After Cecilia arrived, she made her way to Miranda's place in the west wing, following Liam's guidance.

After about a ten-minute drive, she arrived at Miranda's and Adrian's place.

From a distance, the architecture exuded opulence.

Cecilia stepped out of the car, seeing refreshments had already been set up on the open-air lawn. The mothers, each dressed to impress in their finest outfits, had begun to arrive.

Even the typically plainly dressed Priscilla had some rather expensive jewelry adorning her neck and wrists.

Regrettably, whether it was the jewelry she wore or the purse she carried, they were all outdated goods from years ago. As a result, hardly anyone was engaging her in conversation.

Priscilla had been waiting for Cecilia. When she finally spotted her and was about to approach, she noticed Cecilia's outfit was different than usual.

One could say that Cecilia's worth was no less than a billion.

The other mothers also noticed what Cecilia was wearing. From head to toe, even her earrings, there wasn't a single item worth less than half a million.

The difference between being a member of a prominent family and the average CEO was apparent at that moment.

“Isn't there only two of the handbags Ms. Cecilia is carrying in the entire world? I've always wanted one, but my husband said he couldn't source it because our assets weren't sufficient.”

“I noticed her bracelet too. It's worth five million!”

“Her clothes were specially made. I remember one had to book at least a year in advance for custom orders.”

The mothers quickly held their tongues, no longer daring to praise Cecilia for her wealth.

Cecilia strolled toward them, her eyes twinkling with amusement as she gazed at Miranda. “You flatter me, Ms. Miranda.”

When she spoke, she casually tossed her bag onto a nearby chair, showing no particular concern for it.

The other mothers couldn't help but want to help her gently set her bag down.

The chill in Miranda's eyes was evident, but Cecilia feigned ignorance. She turned to the other mothers and said, “I forgot to introduce myself yesterday. I'm Cecilia, Jonathan's mother. I hope for your continued support in the future.”

Everyone present wanted to forge a connection with Cecilia, but due to Miranda's presence, they dared not speak up.

Pricilla, who was Miranda's lackey, plucked up the courage to speak. “You're too courteous, Ms. Cecilia. We all know of you. Jonathan is the smartest child in class after all.”

Miranda was instantly displeased. “Mrs. Veymar, are you implying that Felix isn't as smart as Jonathan?”
