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

Chapter 442 Powerful Family Backing You Up

“What are you being so sarcastic for? Isn’t the Smith family yours? Don’t you want a powerful family backing you up like Cassandra?” Magnus snapped.

A powerful family backing me up?

Cecilia found her brother’s words laughable.

“When Father had just passed, wasn’t the Smith family strong enough? How did you support me then?”

If Magnus hadn’t been so foolish as to break the agreement between the two families by secretly transferring her dowry and betrothal gift, Nathaniel wouldn’t have been humiliated, and he wouldn’t have taken it out on her in so many ways.

She wouldn’t have been unable to hold her head high in the Rainsworth family.

Once again cut down by Cecilia’s words, Magnus raised his hand as if to strike her but then recalled Zach’s warning from a few days ago. He lowered his hand reluctantly.

“Whatever the case, we share the same bloodline. You can’t just stand by and watch the Smith family fall into someone else’s hands.”

Cecilia certainly wouldn’t let that happen. “Don’t worry, I’ll handle the Smith family’s matters. But this has nothing to do with you. You’re not fit to be the heir to the Smith family.”

Heeding his mother’s advice to hand over the family legacy to outsiders made him utterly unworthy.

With that, Cecilia left Magnus behind.
