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

Chapter 1417 Stella And Her Plan

Stella was consumed by a deep sense of injustice. "Why? What makes you so much better than me?"

Cecilia scoffed, her eyes cold. "Then maybe you should despise fate instead."

The anger inside Stella reached a boiling point. With a sudden movement, she seized Cecilia's throat, her fingers tightening. "Do you think I brought you here just to chat? Do you really believe I wouldn't kill you?"

Cecilia met Stella's gaze, finding her behavior odd. "If you want to kill me, then go ahead."

Stella tightened her grip on Cecilia's neck, but right then, a low cough echoed from the entrance. Stella paused and slowly loosened her grip, a twisted smile curling her lips.

"Don't worry," she sneered. "I won't kill you. I'll make your life a living hell instead."

At that moment, Cecilia could sense something sinister was at play, but all she could focus on was her children. She swallowed her fear and stared at Stella. "Stella, if you have a problem with me, then deal with me. Where are my children?" Stella's smile widened, her expression dark and unnerving. "Do you want to know? Then you'll have to cooperate with me."

Cooperate with her? On what? Cecilia was confused.
