Chapter 303 Nothing More Than A Tiny Bug
After losing both his memory and sight, Nathaniel’s temperament became even more irritable. Aside from Cecilia, he never showed a pleasant demeanor to anyone else.
Whenever Elena thought about the way Nathaniel had treated her earlier, she felt particularly anxious. “How do you propose we make him accept others?”
Upon hearing these words, Mason didn’t know how to respond.
“Other than having been involved with Stella, Mr. Rainsworth was married to Cecilia. There were no other women in his life.”
Nathaniel had always prioritized his career. When it came to matters of love and romance, he simply didn’t care anymore.
Had it not been for Mason mentioning Stella, Elena would have completely forgotten about her.
“By the way, where is Stella now?”
Choked with emotion, Mason took a moment before he could reply, “Tudela Psychiatric Hospital.”
Clad in the hospital’s patient attire, Stella stood inside the director’s office at Tudela Psychiatric Hospital with a vacant gaze and her hair in a disheveled mess.
When she saw Elena approaching, a hint of fear flashed in her eyes.
Assuming that Elena was there to find fault against her, she immediately played dumb and stammered, “I’m sorry! It wasn’t intentional! I promise I won’t do it again! I’m sorry…
Seeing her like this, Elena was somewhat taken aback.
“How did you end up like this?”
Stella didn’t respond, because a few days prior, when Zachary had come over, she had been given a hard time.
If it weren’t for her feigning insanity, Zachary would certainly not have let her off the hook so easily.
Elena let out a sigh and turned toward the obsequious director behind her. “Seems I’ve made a fruitless trip. She’s truly lost her mind,” she said.
After speaking, Elena got ready to leave.
Seeing that she was about to be taken away, Stella didn’t want to be confined with a group. Junatics. Without hesitation, she immediately ran to Elena’s side..
“Mdm. Elena, I’m not insane.”

Elena paused in her tracks. turning back to look at her.
Stella continued. “I saw the news. If you don’t mind. I would like to take care of Nathaniel.”
“It was Nathaniel who locked you up here. Don’t you resent him?” Elena asked.
Stella shook her head. “I know that Nathaniel has been deceived. Those videos are completely fabricated. I’ve never betrayed him. I’ve always loved him.”
Regardless of the truth, all Elena wanted was for Nathaniel to be taken care of, preferably with a child of his own.
“All right, then. Get in the car with me.”
Since Elena had spoken up, the director found it difficult to keep Stella confined any longer.
Stella then followed Elena out of the psychiatric hospital. Upon seeing the blue sky outside, she felt as if she had been reborn.
Once they were in the car, Elena warned her. “I dont care what happened in the past. You must be completely devoted to Nathaniel in the future.”
“I will.” Stella nodded in agreement.
After she was confined, she finally understood that even though she had become a star, she was nothing more than a tiny bug in the eyes of the Rainsworth family. They could squash her with ease if they so much as felt like it.
Stella accompanied Elena to Daltonia Villa. Upon learning that Nathaniel was not only blind but also suffering from amnesia, a trace of secret delight crossed her heart.
If he had lost his memory, then he couldn’t possibly remember the things she had done. From then on, she could tell him any tale she wanted him to believe.
There wasn’t a trace of warmth within Daltonia Villa in the cold weather.
When Stella pushed the door open, she saw Nathaniel sitting solemnly on the couch. His back was straight, his side profile sharply defined, and his eyes were as dark as ink. It was impossible to tell that he was blind.
While she was lost in confusion, Nathaniel finally broke the silence.
“Who’s there?”
When Stella saw him looking over in her direction, but not recognizing her, she could confirm what Elena had told her.
-Nathaniel, it’s me!
Ever since Nathaniel was discharged from the hospital, he had made a conscious effort to remember the voices of those around him.

“Who are you?”
“I’m Stella, your ex–girlfriend.”
Chapter 304 Could You Do Me A Favor
My ex–girlfriend?
Nathaniel furrowed his brows in deep thought.
Stella slowly approached him as she said, “I saw the news, Nathaniel. I know that Ceci wants to divorce you. She had always been selfish since she was a child. You mustn’t feel upset because of her.”
Originally, Nathaniel intended to send her away immediately, but upon hearing her mention Cecilia, he couldn’t help but ask, “Do you know her well?”
“Yeah; she and I attended the same school from elementary all the way to university. I used to visit her house quite often when we were kids.”
Stella didn’t disclose the fact that she was financially supported by the Smith family.
She approached Nathaniel and took a seat before him, studying him in detail. He still bore the scars on his face, the remnants of a wound inflicted by a car window’s shattered glass.
She couldn’t help but reach out, longing to touch his face.
As if Nathaniel had a sixth sense, he managed to dodge her hand.
Stella’s hand tensed up. “Nathaniel, can I stay and take care of you. Is that okay? Unlike Cecilia, I will never reject you no matter what becomes of you!
Stella was genuinely fond of Nathaniel, and equally drawn to his wealth.
She knew that even if Nathaniel had lost his sight, he was a man no other could ever compare to.
However, Nathaniel declined her offer.
“You can leave now.”
Stella’s expression tensed up when she heard that.
In the end, she was still driven away by Nathaniel.
At the entrance, Elena’s face was full of disdain. “I knew she was useless.”
Stella, feeling somewhat embarrassed, couldn’t bring herself to approach Elena. Reluctantly, she left the place.
Although Nathaniel had sent her to a psychiatric hospital, the wealth she accumulated during her stardom remained intact.
As soon as Stella stepped out, she contacted her assistant, asking her to come and pick her up.
The moment Stella settled into the car, she made a silent vow to not let Cecilia off the hook.

“Just you wait, Cecilia. I’ll be giving you a surprise soon.”
After renovating Martha’s old house in Sparaville, Cecilia returned there with her and her two children.
Many of the surrounding neighbors had moved out, leaving the area exceptionally quiet and desolate.
In recent days, Martha spent less time asleep than awake. But whenever she was awake, she couldn’t help but keep herself busy.
Even though her body was wracked with pain, she still wanted to personally cook for Cecilia and her two children.
She knew that with her death, there would be even fewer people in the world who cared about Cecilia.
The two kids were engrossed in watching television in the living room when Martha and Cecilia brought in freshly cooked ravioli. Just then, they heard the news being broadcasted on the television.
“Orion Corporation is set to hold a shareholders‘ meeting the next day, with the purpose of re- electing the company’s management.”
Martha wiped her hands, her eyes drifting over as she listened to the announcer say that Nathaniel would not be attending the shareholders‘ meeting.
“Life is truly unpredictable.”
Cecilia couldn’t believe it either. Orion Corporation was, after all, a company that Nathaniel single–handedly established. Yet now, he had somehow lost even his eligibility to attend shareholders‘ meetings.
Fearful that the news about her divorce from Nathaniel would be seen by the two children, Cecilia changed the channel.
Meanwhile, in Tudela, Elena knew that Orion Corporation was about to fall into someone else’s hands, yet she was powerless to stop it.
She called Wren, but he said, “Since Nathaniel can’t see anymore, he should retire from his position and let those who are capable take over.”
Elena couldn’t possibly bear to see everything her son had painstakingly built fall into the hands. of others.
Just at that moment, a phone call came through.
She picked it up and saw that it was Nicholas calling.
“Mom, my surgery went really well, I can come home today.”

“Nicholas, could you do me a favor?”
On the other line, Nicholas, who had just exited the operating room and was still lying in the hospital bed, had a gentle gaze that instantly grew cold.
He didn’t ask what the matter was. Instead, he simply replied, “Sure.”

Chapter 305 Sue For Bigamy
Elena sat in the car, her gaze fixed on Nathaniel in Daltonia Villa. She turned to Ernest, seated beside her, and asked, “Mr. Ernest, you were the lawyer who handled Nathaniel’s case before, weren’t you?”
Nathaniel had refused to heed her arrangements, unwilling to form a marital alliance with another family or accept Stella, as Elena had hoped. She worried that his isolation in Daltonia Villa would eventually lead to trouble.
To address her concerns, Elena sought out Ernest, the lawyer who had assisted Nathaniel with his divorce case, to gather more information about his current situation.
“Yes, I was,” Ernest replied.
“I’d like to inquire about Nathaniel’s current circumstances. Does my daughter–in–law, Cecilia,
any obligation or responsibility to care for him?” Elena subtly hinted at her intentions.

Ernest, perceptive as always, quickly understood the underlying meaning of her words. “Of course,” he paused thoughtfully. “If you wish, I can help Mr. Rainsworth draft a legal summon that would require Cecilia to take care of him.”
A faint smile tugged at the corners of Elena’s lips. “Good. I want Cecilia to receive a lawyer’s letter today. Can you arrange that?” she asked.
“Certainly,” Ernest replied.
Pleased with the response, Elena handed him her business card. “Mr. Ernest, I invite you to join. Orion Corporation,” she said, her tone implying a future collaboration.
Ernest, however, did not you, but I don’t need it.”

Elena barely registered the refusal; her focus was on the outcome she desired. She had achieved her goal. As she stepped out of the car and made her way into the villa, her mind was set on the
next steps.
Nathaniel was sitting solemnly in his study, attempting to focus on the documents before him. However, his blindness made it nearly impossible to comprehend their contents, leaving him frustrated. His once sharp mind now struggled to process even the simplest information.
Elena entered the study, her heart heavy as she observed her once brilliant son, now reduced to his current state. Despite the bitterness she felt, she steeled herself for what she had to do.
of his boss.
Mr. Rainsworth has been pampered since birth. How did he get used to living here?
“Mr. Sanders what’s going on?” Cecilia questioned.
Hearing Mason refer to her as “Mrs. Rainsworth” struck a nerve in Cecilia. It was the first time anyone in Nathaniel’s circle had addressed her as such. She couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh.
“Ceci, can I borrow Jon for a while?” Vivian asked, her tone unusually light.
Jonathan was a prodigy, and his presence would surely make an impression–perhaps even annoy some of Vivian’s rivals.
