When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel)

Chapter 290 The Crash

Due to his profession as a lawyer, Ernest was more meticulous than others.

When those few foreigners drove off, he secretly followed them.

On the other side, Nathaniel was driving with Cecilia seated in the passenger seat.

Recalling the words spoken by Cecilia during the trial, Nathaniel solemnly asked, “Do you truly wish to divorce me?”

Even though he knew the answer, he still wanted to ask one more time.

“Yes.” Cecilia nodded, then continued, “As long as you’re willing to divorce, I promise I won’t ask for anything. I just want my freedom.”

Nathaniel’s throat tensed up slightly.

Instead of pursuing the topic any further, he asked, “The things you said during the trial earlier… Were they all truc?”

After a moment of hesitation, Cecilia said, “That’s doesn’t matter anymore, does it?”

She looked at Nathaniel, then quickly added, “If you still refuse to divorce me, I really will tell the world that I’ve been with someone else for a while now.”

Cecilia knew this was the worst possible approach.

Nathaniel was deeply concerned about his reputation, and he certainly wouldn’t stand by and watch the company he’d painstakingly built from scratch get affected due to such matters.

“Do you know what happens to those who threaten me?” Nathaniel asked, his tone steady and unhurried.
