When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him Novel

Chapter 1357 A Message From Stella

"I never thought that even daughters from wealthy families are in such danger nowadays," Lucille expressed in surprise.

A vague sense of unease crept over Cecilia as she watched the news report, and her heart fluttered slightly with distress. "Yvette was once my classmate. I have a feeling that her death isn't as simple as it seems." She rested her hand on her stomach.

Upon hearing what Cecilia had said, Lucille and the others sighed even more deeply. They had not expected that the person involved in the incident would be someone they knew.

Having also seen the news, Nathaniel instructed that it was crucial to make sure Cecilia was well-protected during this period.

She was due to give birth next month, and after that, Elliot would be performing surgery on her.

That night, Cecilia lay in bed, unable to fall asleep.

The sound of a text message chimed. She picked it up to check, only to see that it was from an unknown number.

The message read: It's been a while since we last met. Can we chat? It's me, Stella.

Nathaniel looked over, his brows slightly furrowed. "Go to sleep."

Just as she was about to switch off her phone, she received another text message from Stella that said: I truly regret my past actions. I was just too jealous of you. Now that I've found my biological mother, I hope we can resolve our animosity. I'm currently waiting for you near the Smith residence.

Cecilia stared at the message, unsure of what Stella's intentions were.

She was still planning on ignoring it when, to her surprise, Stella texted yet again: Cassina has already told us the truth. If you refuse to meet with me, that means you're refusing to admit it.

Somewhat puzzled, Cecilia climbed out of bed.

"I'll go see what she wants."

She wanted to know what Stella was planning to do and what she had to say.

"I'll go with you," Nathaniel said, also getting out of bed.

"Okay," she replied.

She was also wary of Stella, so she decided to go with him and even brought along a bodyguard.

Stella was seated in her car. When she saw Cecilia and Nathaniel appear together, jealousy surged within her. Nonetheless, she forced herself to act calm as she stepped out of the car and walked toward Cecilia with a smile. "Ceci," she said.

Then, she turned to look at Nathaniel. "Mr. Rainsworth."

"Go on. What do you want to talk to me about?" Cecilia responded, cutting straight to the chase.

Stella replied, "Cassina said that you instructed her and her mother to

deceive my biological mother. Now, my mother is ready to hold

you

accountable."

Upon hearing those words, Cecilia could not help thinking how utterly absurd it was. "Do you have any evidence?"

"A testimony is also evidence." Stella let out a sigh before continuing, "Ceci, don't get so worked up when you talk to me. I just feel that I've made too many mistakes in the past efoo and want to repent. That's why I came to tell you this in advance."

Cecilia did not believe a single word she told her.

"Is that all? Got it. You may leave now."

Stella had assumed that Cecilia would be terrified upon hearing that Queenie was planning to sue her. However, the latter was unexpectedly calm.

She got into her car, feeling somewhat bored.

"Remember to reach out if you need my help with anything," she said.

Before she left, she gazed deeply at Nathaniel.

The man I love but can't have. She clenched her hands tightly, her fingertips digging deep into her palms.

When Stella returned, she found that Queenie and the others had not yet retired for the night.

"Stella, where have you been?" Queenie asked.

Stella answered frankly, "I went to find Cecilia." ""Whatever for?"

"I'm sorry, Mom. After all, the Smith family has been kind to me in the past. Although Cecilia did do something wrong and used Cassina to deceive you, I still wanted to personally ask her if she had her reasons," Stella replied. With every word she spoke, she seemed to display an exceptional sense of loyalty and righteousness.

Hearing that, Queenie asked, "So, did you manage to find out anything?"
