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

Chapter 458 Out Of Your League

Ralph and Paula made a special visit to George today, their goal being to discuss a valuable plot of land in the heart of Tudela.

With the Evans family now connected to the Rainsworths through marriage, Paula and Ralph assumed that their family ties would give them leverage. Since the Rainsworths shared a strong relationship with the Sinclairs, they believed that simply showing up and chatting would be enough to secure the deal.

Ralph and Paula sat down without hesitation. Paula’s gaze once again fell on Jonathan, who looked poised and composed in his tailored suit, exuding a maturity well beyond his years. Beside him was Vivian, whom Paula had known for some time. Though Vivian wasn’t a traditional beauty, she carried herself with an air of sophistication, and she was lucky enough to marry into the prestigious Sinclair family, given her humble family background.
