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

Chapter 739 I Did Nothing Wrong

Elena’s eyes turned icy cold. “Cecilia, the Rainsworth family is not some insignificant household. Kneel before me!”

Cecilia felt her throat tighten, but she straightened her back.

“I’ve done nothing wrong. Why should I kneel?”

“You abandoned your child to chase after men, and you still say you did nothing wrong?” Cassandra added, fanning the flames.

Cecilia was at a loss for words. She shot a cold glance at Cassandra. “Are you saying women can’t have any male friends?”

“There’s no such thing as pure friendship between a man and a woman,” Cassandra sneered.

Seeing the situation escalate, Cecilia decided to drop the pretense.

“From what I hear, Ms. Evans, you frequently change dance partners, and they get pretty handsy with you during your dances. Doesn’t that make you filthier than I am?”

“That’s my job. It’s different from what you’re doing.”

“So, there’s no such thing as pure friendship, but there’s pure work now?” Cecilia shot back.

Cassandra hadn’t expected Cecilia to be this sharp–tongued and infuriating.

Luckily, Elena was still on her side.

“Cecilia, kneel! I don’t want to repeat myself.”
