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

Chapter 1970 Teach Magnus A Lesson

"I honestly don't know how you've managed to survive this long," Denise said,

eyeing him like he was some kind of rare, clueless creature.

Magnus let out a dramatic groan, his face twisted in frustration. "I can't take it

Despite everything, he was still the sole heir of the Smith family. If this torment

continued, he genuinely felt he wouldn't last.

Without a word, Denise handed over her phone.

Magnus tried dialing a few numbers, but each call reached the wrong person.

After the third failed attempt, Denise raised an eyebrow. "You don't even

Magnus scratched his head, clearly unbothered. "Why would I memorize that? I've

never had to."

Then, as if struck by sudden brilliance, he said, "Wait. I'll just call Jamieson Group

directly."

He pulled up their website, found the customer service number, and dialed,

hoping someone there could connect him to Cecilia.

"Good evening, sir. How may I assist you today?" came the polite, professional

voice of the customer service representative.

Magnus leaned forward, speaking quickly, "I need to speak with Cecilia-your

general manager. I'm her younger brother, Magnus. Could you please let her

know I'm on the line?"
