When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1150 Caught In The Act

Adrian: Sweetie, I’m all cleaned up and smelling good. Where are you now? Why haven’t you responded to my messages?

Upon seeing this line of chat on Cecilia’s phone, Nathaniel’s expression darkened considerably. Without hesitation, he unlocked Cecilia’s phone easily. Her password was simple, something Nathaniel had committed to memory with a casual glance.

As soon as the phone was unlocked, a flood of messages from Adrian appeared, each one more forward and sentimental than the last.

However, it didn’t escape Nathaniel’s notice that Cecilia hadn’t replied to any of them. His face remained grim, his hand hovering over the keyboard, ready to type a response, when Cecilia emerged from the changing room.

“How does this outfit look?” she asked, stepping out in an elegant ivory dress, exuding a refined grace.

At that moment, she caught Nathaniel holding her phone, looking as if he was about to send a message. “You’re holding my phone…” Cecilia said, her tone slightly curious.

For a moment, Nathaniel wasn’t sure if he felt guilty for looking at her phone or anxious because he had been caught. He quickly switched off the screen, his movements a bit too hurried.

Cecilia found his reaction odd and walked toward him, extending her hand for the phone, Nathaniel couldn’t help but look at her seriously. “Why didn’t you tell me that Adrian was bothering you?”

Now understanding what had happened, Cecilia sighed. “I didn’t want to add more to your plate. You’re already busy with so many things I can handle this myself.”

“How exactly are you going to handle it?” Nathaniel asked, his frustration clear. At that moment, he had half a mind to order. Mason to toss Adrian into the sea

“You’ll find out tomorrow,” Cecilia said confidently, taking the phone from his hand. She glanced at the message from Adrian but didn’t reply, instead dismissing it entirely.

Seeing her calm demeanor but still withholding the details, Nathaniel wasn’t satisfied. He immediately called Mason and instructed him to have someone follow Adrian discreetly.

If Adrian dared to cross any lines with Cecilia, Nathaniel wouldn’t hesitate to take drastic action. But for now, he respected Cecilia’s approach and chose to wait

Meanwhile, at the hotel, Adrian sat waiting eagerly. He had sent several messages to Cecilia, but with no response, he was growing anxious. Just as he was about to call her, there was a knock at the door.

“Sir, a lady has ordered this drink for you, the waiter said. “She suggests you start without her, and she’ll join you shortly.”

Adrian, believing the drink to be a playful gesture from Cecilia, accepted it eagerly. A wide grin spread across his face. “Who knew she was the type to play these games?” he muttered to himself, pouring a glass and taking a sip.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

The alcohol warmed him, and not long after finishing the glass, he found himself drifting off into a deep, comfortable sleep.

The following morning, as the first light of dawn began to filter into the room, Adrian woke up groggily. To his shock, he found himself surrounded by several attractive women. They were busy dressing and gathering their belongings.

“Who are you?” Adrian asked, his voice thick with confusion.

One of the women, who was nearly finished getting dressed, laughed lightly. “Mr. Rainsworth, have you already forgotten? You called us here last night”

Adrian stared at her, bewildered. What? No, I didn’t. I was waiting for Cecilia all along.

Before he could fully process what was happening, the women left and Adrian glanced toward the door, only to see a swarm of reporters rushing toward him, cameras flashing in his face.

“What the-? No! Don’t take pictures! Stop!” Adrian shouted, frantically trying to cover himself.

Do all the men from the Rainsworth family have this insatiable need for women? Is it in their blood?

Looks like we caught him red–handed this time.

The scandal not only tainted Adrian’s reputation but also caused a temporary drop in the stock prices of Rainsworth Group Neil was furious, summoning Adrian to his office immediately.

On his way to face his grandfather, Adrian realized that he had been set up. The realization hit him hard, but he didn’t know how to prove it

When Neil questioned him, Adrian was much more clear–headed than before. “Grandpa, I swear I was framed. I didn’t call for those women. You can check the footage from the hotel–I even had a camera set up in the room.”
