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

Chapter 410 Swindled Out Of It

Sven continued to relay all the findings from his investigation to Cecilia. The most puzzling thing to him was the identity of the person who had been helping him with the investigation.

“If I uncover anything new, I’ll let you know immediately,” Sven promised.

“Thank you,” Cecilia responded, her mood heavy with the weight of the revelations.

What had once been mere suspicions were now turning out to be true. Her younger brother had been foolish, benefiting others while sacrificing the family’s wealth.

After Nathaniel observed her conversation, he asked, “What’s wrong?”

Cecilia shared with him everything Sven had just told her. For now, she decided to treat Nathaniel as a confidant.

“So, what’s your plan?” Nathaniel inquired, having already suspected something was amiss for some time, though he hadn’t paid much attention to it before.

“I’m going to reclaim what rightfully belongs to the Smith family,” Cecilia declared with determination. If it had been a case of Magnus simply squandering the family fortune, that would have been different. But clearly, he had been swindled out of it.
