When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 871

Chapter 871 Car Accident 

Not long after, a melodious tune began to play, leaving Cassandra utterly astonished. 

This melody didn’t have lyrics yet, nor a voice to sing it. It was purely instrumental. 

However, it was so easy to get lost in the melody. It was only after listening to most of the tune that Cassandra came back to her senses. 

“Did she write this? How could that be possible?” 

At first, Cassandra believed that Cecilia couldn’t compose a decent melody. 

As she listened to the beautiful melody, she then assumed that Cecilia had bought it. 

“I’m not sure. It could be a pirated version, or maybe she hired a ghostwriter,” her assistant, Riley, agreed with her. 

“Look into this. If you find a similar music style, let me know,” Cassandra instructed. 

There was no way she would allow Cecilia to gain fame from a single song. 

“Understood.” 

After Riley had left, Cassandra still felt uneasy. She instructed someone to pay to boost the traffic flow for the song that was in second place. 

She was willing to spend any amount of money, as long as it would put Cecilia at a disadvantage. 

After returning, Cecilia also took note of the competition’s progress. At present, her song’s download and play count, as well as the audience’s reviews, were the highest. 

At the beginning, the gap between her and the runner–up was significant. However, against all odds, the runner–up began to close the gap. 

Cecilia wasn’t overly worried. She had heard the song of the runner–up and was confident she could outshine them. 

With that, she didn’t bother to check the online rankings any further. 

Instead, she took the chance to rest and digest her meal. 

By now, she was certain she wasn’t Paula’s daughter, nor was she a daughter of the Smith family. 

This revelation left her even more bewildered. 

Unbeknownst to her, a heavy rain had started outside. The sound of the doorbell echoed from the 

entrance. 

Cecilia rose to cheek, only to see the nanny originally assigned to Daltonia Villa standing outside, her face filled with anxiety. 

11:27 Fri, Oct 25 ?. 

Chapter 871 Car Accident 

Cecilia stepped out, not even bothering to carry an umbrella. 

The nanny wasn’t half bad; she had always taken good care of Elliot, fulfilling her duties diligently. 

“Mrs. Rainsworth, terrible news! Ms. Quill has been involved in a car accident.” 

Finished 

Cecilia paused, surprise flashing briefly in her eyes. “How did she get into a car accident? And how did you find out?” 

The nanny handed the mobile phone to Cecilia. 

Upon accepting it, Cecilia saw that the screen was showing the news of Jessica’s car accident. 

The news reported that Jessica, having been falsely accused of being the other woman, seemed unable to cope with the situation. Looking dazed, she had rammed right into another car. 

The trending news from before, which claimed that Jessica was doing this for Zachary, was withdrawn due to its baseless rumors. 

Cecilia had a vague feeling that things weren’t as simple as they seemed. 

The nanny added, “Ms. Quill had my number saved. After her accident, the hospital contacted me, and that’s how I found out.” 

“I understand.” Cecilia nodded. “Is it her idea that you’re here now?” 

The nanny nodded. “Yes, she mentioned she was out of money and was hoping you could lend her a hand.” 

The nanny had good intentions. After all, when Jessica first came to Daltonia Villa, she had brought gifts and had said many things to win the older woman over 

The staff employed at Daltonia Villa all thought highly of Jessica, considering her a wonderful person. 

Naturally, Cecilia couldn’t possibly tell the nanny that Jessica was just a manipulative woman intending to exploit their kindness. All she could do was hope that they would gradually see her true colors. 

“All right, I understand. I’ll head over.” 

“Thank you, Mrs. Rainsworth. Ms. Quill is a good person. She’s truly pitiful this time, having no parents of her own. She confided in me, saying she sees you as a sister,” the nanny uttered earnestly. 

The nanny, 

nanny, of course, was not lying. Cecilia knew this. 

“I know. It’s raining, and you’re all drenched, so go back to your room first. Eli should be coming home from school soon.” 

“All right.” 

Cecilia didn’t plan on going over to see Jessica just like that. 

Instead, she dialed Nathaniel’s number.
