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

Chapter 2022 The Fury Of Heather

Heather exploded, "What? Your father begged her? Your father is her uncle—her elder!"

Eloise let out a drawn-out sigh.

"Grandma, these days, seniority means nothing. You're her grandmother, and she still treats you like thin air,"

she said, half-whining, half-provoking.

The single sentence left the old lady utterly speechless.

Eloise studied her grandmother's face, thinking the old woman would rush off to give Cecilia trouble. To her

surprise, Heather simply fell into a brooding silence.

"Grandma, you're not really going to let Cecilia walk away unscathed, are you?" she probed.

Though Eloise had apologized to Cecilia on the surface, jealousy still festered in her heart; she secretly

wished Cecilia's life would crumble.

After a long pause, Heather sighed. "Forget it. The Cecilia standing before us now is beyond our reach."

Eloise's eyes widened. For a moment, she was completely stunned.

"Grandma, you never used to be like this."

"You don't understand," Heather scolded. "Your father told me to stop stirring up trouble, and even Magnus

called and asked me to apologize to Cecilia." Heather always heeded her two sons and her grandson
