Chapter 61 What Will Zachary Do.
When he met Cecilia’s clear yet furious eyes, disbelief was all he could see in his own!
This wasn’t merely a resemblance; it was clearly Cecilia!
He couldn’t comprehend why Cecilia would come for a blind date.
Before he even had a chance to gather his thoughts, Cecilia said to Sven, “Let’s go.”
Sven protected Cecilia as they made their departure.
The man who had been knocked to the ground was still cursing under his breath, “Don’t you dare run away! I’ve got you all marked, just you wait!”
The other privileged young men followed suit in taunting and provoking him.
“Jovan, you’re such a coward. If you’ve got the guts, fight back!” –
Exactly, don’t just yell!”
Jovan had wanted to make a move against Sven, but after that kick from Sven, he couldn’t even stand up.
It was fair to say that he was pampered since childhood, never having experienced such an indignity.
He picked himself up, cursing under his breath.
“I’m going to take some people with me right now and make sure they regret offending me!”
Before he could even finish his sentence, Zachary had already approached him, his eyes. filled with an icy coldness.
“What did you do to her just now?”
“That b*tch-”
Upon seeing that Jovan still hadn’t learned his lesson, the bodyguards unceremoniously swung their fists at his face. In no time, he was knocked to the ground, spitting out fresh blood.
Nonetheless, Jovan still had no idea what mistake he had made.
The surrounding young gentlemen were all rendered speechless.
Zachary looked down at him coldly from his superior position, then turned to his assistant,
asking “What did he incr da?”

Arnold relayed Jovan’s intention to humiliate Cecilia, recounting the matter truthfully.
“There’s no need for him to keep his hands anymore.”
Zachary no longer had the mood to continue with the blind date as he left to look for Cecilia.
Even as he departed, he could hear Jovan’s pleas for mercy echoing behind him.
The scions murmured in bewilderment, unable to comprehend who this Ms. Kennedy was, and why she was worth Zachary’s fury.
It seemed like Jovan was likely going to meet his downfall here today.
When Zachary left the Imperial Garden, Cecilia was nowhere to be found.
His hands, hanging by his sides, subtly tightened. He regretted not paying close attention to the people who came today.
He initially intended to put on a show for George while also making it uncomfortable for those women who wished to marry into their family. His aim was to deter them from agreeing to future arranged meetings.
Unexpectedly….
“Go find out what the relationship between Ms. Kennedy and Cecilia is.”
Arnold hurriedly said, “Yes, sir.”
After a moment of thought, Zachary added, “Also look into who that man by her side is.”
Meanwhile, Cecilia had already settled into the car, a touch of annoyance creeping up on her. She hadn’t expected that Vivian’s blind date would turn out to be Zachary.
Zachary despised her so much. Now that he saw her going on a blind date on behalf of her best friend, she wasn’t sure how he would react toward her…
Her greatest fear was still bringing trouble upon Vivian.
“Mommy, are you okay?”
The sound of Jonathan’s voice snapped Cecilia back to reality.
She shot him a light smile. “I’m fine, thanks to Sven.”
After expressing his gratitude to Sven, Jonathan gently embraced Cecilia.
“It’s a shame I’m still too young,” he said. “But once I grow up, I’ll be the one to protect you and Mr. Sven.”

“All right, Sven and I will wait for you to grow up.”

Since Nathaniel’s bodyguard was constantly keeping an eye on her, Cecilia decided to return to Vivian’s villa after leaving the Imperial Garden.
After having lunch at noon, Cecilia made sure to give Jonathan some instructions before she left to meet Nathaniel at Orion Corporation.

Chapter 62 Leveled The Building
In the CEO’s office on the top floor of the corporate headquarters, Nathaniel had heard from his bodyguard that Cecilia had visited the Imperial Garden that morning.
“What was she doing in the Imperial Garden?”
From what he knew, the Imperial Garden was a place frequented by wealthy and indulgent young men who led lives of debauchery. It was, in his opinion, a rather “filthy” place.
The bodyguard hesitated for a moment before responding. “It seemed like a blind date.”
Nathaniel’s eyes narrowed slightly, the temperature around him seeming to drop a notch.
So, the important matter she mentioned was going on a blind date? Once again, she’s making me see her in a new light.
Nathaniel’s face immediately turned grim.
The bodyguard was well aware of Nathaniel’s temperament.
He didn’t want to draw Nathaniel’s irc, so he cautiously left the office.
At two o’clock in the afternoon, someone knocked on the office door.
“Mr. Rainsworth.”
As soon as Cecilia entered, she immediately noticed something off about the aura surrounding Nathaniel.
The man lifted his brooding gaze slightly, looking at her with an air of indifference. His eyes were cold, as if they could see straight through her heart.
“Finished with your business?” Nathaniel asked in a deliberate and unhurried manner, his question carrying a hidden implication.
Cecilia wasn’t sure what he meant. “Yeah. Didn’t you mention yesterday about taking me somewhere?”
Without a word, Nathaniel rose and walked straight to her.
“What were you up to this morning?” he asked her, his gaze steady and direct.
The fact that he asked this question was proof enough that he already knew.
Under his scrutinizing gaze, Cecilia didn’t hide anything. “A blind date.”
Nathaniel was in furious that he couldn’t heln her laugh

He suppressed the anger welling up within him and questioned, “Are you really that lonely and desperate? Aren’t two men enough for you?
Lonely and desperate? Two ment
Cecilia instantly became furious.
Who did he think he was?
She flashed a mocking smile, each word deliberate. “Mr. Rainsworth, have you misunderstood something? I’m single, so why can’t I go on blind dates?”
“Single?”
Unable to contain the fury within him any longer. Nathaniel, with a gloomy expression. firmly gripped Cecilia’s arm and dragged her out
“I’m going to jog your memory right now. Let’s see if you still think you’re single!”
With that, Nathaniel shoved Cecilia into the car
He had used significant force to grab her, so the moment he let go, Cecilia felt a numbing pain in her arm.
With a thud, the car door was shut.
The vehicle sped along the main road, causing Cecilia to feel an undeniable sense of fear.
She wasn’t sure where Nathaniel was taking her, but gradually, she realized something was
amiss.
Though she had been away for four or five years, she recognized this road. A little further ahead was where the office building of Smith Corporation once was.
Cecilia felt a bit nervous, her hands resting by her side subtly tightened, her fingertips gradually sinking into the palms of her hand.
Nathaniel noticed her expression. A cruel smile tugged at the corner of his mouth as he spoke unhurriedly.
“Didn’t you mention that you have intermittent memory loss and are unable to recall many people and events? Then do you still remember this place?”
His gaze was directed toward the distance, right where Smith Corporation once stood. But now, as Cecilia looked over, all she saw was emptiness.

During the years she spent abroad, Calvin and Martha did not dare to let her in on what was happening back home.
She only found out after returning to her home country that Nathaniel had acquired Smith Corporation. However, what she hadn’t anticipated was that he would completely dismantle Smith Corporation.
Cecilia felt as if a ball of cotton was lodged in her throat, leaving her unable to speak.
Nathaniel parked the car. Watching her distraught demeanor, he became increasingly certain that she was merely pretending to have amnesia
A cold smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, giving him an air of madness. “It seems you don’t remember, so let me tell you! This place used to be the culmination of your grandfather and father’s lifelong efforts, the original office building of Smith Corporation. However, I’ve now leveled it.”

The once–thriving Smith Corporation, under the leadership of her younger brother, Magnus, had indeed suffered continuous losses. However, at least it still existed.
But now, even the final memory her father left her was gone.
Cecilia understood that all of Nathaniel’s actions were driven by a desire for revenge against
her.
She gazed upon the land that had now turned into a wasteland. Her throat tightened, and she was almost on the verge of shedding tears.
“Survival of the fittest. You’re the CEO of Rainsworth Group, so your word is law.”
She didn’t realize her voice had gone hoarse.
Nathaniel was surprised to see that, even at this stage, Cecilia was still unwilling to admit that she had not lost her memory.
He had assumed that after witnessing the scene before her, Cecilia would confront him, would cry or make a scene. But nothing of that sort happened.
Once upon a time, when Cecilia looked at him, there was a light in her eyes, not like now, where they were as calm and still as a dead sea.
Nathaniel felt a deep ache in his heart. His slender hand firmly gripped her chin as he said, “Even you were sold to me by the Smith family! You think simply saying you’ve forgotten erases everything? Unless I’m dead, don’t even think about marrying someone else in this lifetime!”
His eyes were bloodshot, and he was completely devoid of any rationality.
Cecilia’s pale lips parted slightly. “But you don’t exist in my memory. The wife you want is already dead!”
Cecilia’s words thoroughly infuriated Nathaniel,
“If you’ve forgotten, then you have to remember! Even if you die, you must come back to life for me!”
As he spoke, Nathaniel seemed to have lost his mind. Ignoring Cecilia’s resistance, he lunged
at her.

“Nathaniel, what are you trying to do? Let go of the now, or I’ll accuse you of kidnapping!”
Nathaniel didn’t pay any attention to Cecilia’s protests; he simply tore open her collar
without a word.
“I thought you’d forgotten about me? Let me help jog your memory then!”
With that, he fiercely bit down on Cecilia’s red lips.
“Mmph! Natha–mmph!”
At that moment, the urgent ringing of a phone echoed.
It was Elena.
Only then did Nathaniel let her go to answer the phone.
“Are you coming yet, Nathaniel? Hurry up; everyone’s waiting for you!”
That evening, Nathaniel’s parents had organized a dinner party at the First World Hotel. It was in celebration of Easter Day, and they had invited quite a number of social elites.
The moment Nathaniel released her, Cecilia promptly got out of the car.
“Mr. Rainsworth, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading back now.”
She was afraid that Nathaniel would do something drastic, so she hastily fled from that place.
Nathaniel was still on the phone, watching the woman’s retreating figure as she fled in disarray. His mind was filled with her words from earlier, his eyes rimmed with red.
Cecilia, unless I die, there’s no escaping me!
Meanwhile, at the First World Hotel.
Jonathan, hidden under a baseball cap and mask, stood at the entrance of the hotel as he stared at the luxurious Bugatti parked nearby.
After Zachary stepped out of the car, Jonathan’s bright eyes were shrouded with a layer of frost, making him appear like a mini version of Nathaniel.
“Don’t blame me for this since you dared to bully my mommy!”
After Zachary entered the hotel, Jonathan followed him in.
The waitress stopped him, gently chiding, “Little one, you can’t play here, okay?”
Jonathan looked up at her, his voice soft and sweet as he replied, “Miss, I came here with my

Upon hearing this, the waitress glanced at the expensive attire adorning the young boy and didn’t doubt his words.
“Shall I take you to your daddy?”
As the waitress reached out to take Jonathan’s hand, he subtly dodged her, saying, “No need, but thank you, miss.”
After he finished speaking, he jogged inside.
The waitress felt a pang of disappointment but couldn’t help but marvel at the sight of such an adorable child.
“There are so many unruly kids around these days; it’s becoming increasingly rare to find one as polite and well–bred as him.”

After learning about his actions carlier that morning, George had specifically invited him to dine at the restaurant. In reality, it was to facilitate his interaction with the other prominent young ladies present at the banquet.
Sure enough, not long after he arrived in the hall, George pulled him aside.
“This is the Rainsworth family’s banquet, so you better not mess things up again, hear me?”
George truly had Zachary in a tight spot.
Hence, Zachary had no choice but to reluctantly sit in a corner of the banquet hall.
He radiated an icy aura all around him, palpable to anyone nearby. It was clear to all that anyone who approached him now was courting death.
All the while, Zachary was completely oblivious that a tiny figure had been secretly observing him from the very start.
As it was a feast organized by the Rainsworth family, it was only natural that all the hosts were in attendance.
This time, Stella was also among those who came.
She had noticed Zachary as well but didn’t dare to approach him for a conversation.
It wasn’t that she was scared of Zachary; it was George she feared.
In truth, had it not been for George seeking her out alone back then, with how infatuated. Zachary was with her, she would have long since become Mrs. Sinclair.
Stella still remembered the words that George had said to her.
“I don’t care who Zach becomes involved with, but I’m adamant that a woman of your status. never become a daughter–in–law of the Sinclair family! If you continue to have no shame and seduce Zach into marrying you, I won’t hesitate to make him a widower.”
Make him a widower…
Stella knew that the ruthless George was capable of such actions.
While Jonathan was waiting for the right moment, he was surprised to discover that his deadbeat father, his family, and even the woman his father was fond of were all present.

In his haste to avenge his mother today, he had only managed to find out that Zachary would be here.
He had not realized that the banquet this time was hosted by the Rainsworth family.
But since he was already here, he couldn’t just leave so easily.
Before Nathaniel could approach, Jonathan went on his tiptoes to grab a glass of red wine from the table before walking toward Zachary.
“Mister, I see you’re not in the best of spirits. How about a drink?”
Zachary was wondering who had the audacity to approach him when he looked up and saw a small figure, not even as tall as his own leg.
Who brought their child here?
Since Jonathan was wearing a mask and a cap, all Zachary could see were his eyes. They were beautiful, evoking a sense of familiarity.
However, Zachary really didn’t like children.
“No thanks,” he said coldly.
Jonathan, however, did not leave. Instead, he pushed the glass forward.
Zachary’s brows furrowed as he raised his hand to block him. “Scram!”
It wasn’t clear whether it was his loud voice that startled Jonathan, or if it was something else.
By some stroke of misfortune, the wine glass in Jonathan’s hand tilted, and in an instant, an entire glass of red wine had spilled onto Zachary’s lap.
Zachary’s face darkened. “D*mn it!”
Jonathan, on the other hand, put on an extremely frightened facade. His eyes were rimmed with red, and he stammered, “I’m sorry, mister. I didn’t mean to…”
Zachary looked at him, his eyes filled with rage.
And yet, Jonathan turned up the volume of his voice, sounding choked with sobs as he cried, “Mister, you’re not really going to hit a child, are you?”
Jonathan’s voice successfully captured the attention of everyone present, causing them to look in this direction.
Zachary was rendered speechless.

The number of eyes on him was steadily increasing, and Zachary felt that if he stayed here any longer, he would surely become the center of everyone’s attention.
To the uninformed, it would seem as though he was bullying a child.
Zachary briskly walked toward the restroom.
Immediately, Jonathan dropped his pitiful facade, picked up his phone, found the perfect angle, and snapped a picture of the disheveled Zachary
He didn’t just let it go at that. Instead, he followed Zachary into a suite.
Not far off, Elena noticed the child, her heart softening.
She took a sip of her wine, turning to Stella beside her and saying, “What a lovely child, so understanding and polite. I’m sure any child of Nathaniel’s would be just like him.”
Only when facing such a small child did Elena’s face, which was usually cold throughout the year, take on a tender and loving expression.
Stella knew the older woman was once again urging her to hurry up and get pregnant. All she could do was go along with it.
Upon arriving at the temporary room, Zachary had made a call, asking Arnold to bring over a new set of clothes.
Very soon, Arnold brought over the clothes. “Mr. Zachary, I’ve placed your clothes on the table.”
“All right, you can go now.”
“Understood.”
Arnold pulled open the door and left, not noticing that a child was crouching in a hidden. spot behind the couch.
After all, who dared to intrude into Zachary’s room? Only a select few ever could.

“I’m sorry…”
Jonathan rushed to apologize, only to look up and meet the deep, chilling gaze of his sc*mbag father.
