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

Chapter 979 Help From Elena

“Can I help you, Mom?” Cecilia found it peculiar when he received a call from Elena.

The latter was clearly annoyed. “Who gave you the right to casually make a bet with Miranda? How many years has she been with the company, and how many have you? You simply don’t understand Orion Corporation, let alone Imminence Corporation. Did you not know that she’s planning to embarrass you publicly at the company in a few days, with both me and your grandfather present?”

Although not fond of Cecilia, Elena had a clear understanding of who was family and who was an outsider.

She couldn’t possibly let Miranda walk all over her own daughter–in–law.

“I really had no idea about this,” admitted Cecilia, having just learned that Miranda had approached Aston and Elena. It could be that Miranda was worried about her not keeping her word, or perhaps she simply wanted to humiliate her in front of the entire Rainsworth family.

Elena’s disdain for Cecilia deepened as she heard this. “Let me tell you this: running a company is not the same as composing music. Besides, you’re now Nathaniel’s wife. If you lose to Miranda, where would that leave Nathaniel’s dignity?”

After a round of criticism, she then continued, “I heard you need a supplier from Imminence Corporation. I’ll send you some money. Use it to sort things out.”

In other words, Elena was willing to suffer a loss, even going as far as to pay the suppliers herself just to ensure others would continue to work with Orion Corporation.
