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

Chapter 1931

Chapter 1931 Plug The Bottomless Hole

After a pause, she glanced at Magnus and added, "Listen to me. If he raises the bid again, don't follow. I don't believe he actually has that kind of money."

She knew Magnus was a freeloader through and through. He had always survived off Cecilia and the Rainsworth name.

Miranda scoffed inwardly. If Magnus really doesn't have the money, let his sister be the one to clean up the mess. Let Cecilia plug the bottomless hole that is Magnus.

But just then, on the opposite side of the room, Cecilia stood up. She walked straight over to Magnus and stopped him in his tracks. "What exactly do you think you're doing?" she asked coldly.

Startled, Magnus blinked. "Cecilia? What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to stop you," she said firmly.

Truth be told, Cecilia had initially decided not to intervene. She had wanted to stay out of Magnus' messes for once.

But then she realized that everyone in the room knew they were siblings. If Magnus couldn't pay after winning the auction, the first person the public would point fingers at wouldn't be him. It would be her.

And if she didn't step in to cover for him, rumors would inevitably spread. Such a scandal could easily damage her standing in Tudela's high society.
