When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 156 Bury The Hatchet

“I never issued such an order,” Nathaniel stated, his voice cool and detached.

Yet, Nancy refused to leave. When the bodyguard approached, she even clung tighter to the table and chair beside her.

“Mr. Rainsworth, the person who hit me said it was all because I didn’t know my place and offended you. Please, spare me. I don’t wish to meet my end here,” she pleaded.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

At this moment, Nancy was crying profoundly, her face marred with wounds. Undoubtedly, even after they healed, scars would remain.

Originally, Nathaniel didn’t want to get involved in such matters, but from what he understood. from Nancy, it seemed that someone was using his name to teach her a lesson.

That was something he simply couldn’t ignore.

He then had the bodyguard let go of Nancy as he said, “Explain this matter to me in detail.”

As the bodyguard released his grip on Nancy, she was kneeling on the ground, trembling uncontrollably..

“It was that day after I saw you, when I got off work and went home. Around two or three in the early morning. I was suddenly yanked out of bed. They berated and struck me, saying how dare someone like me even think of bothering you. Ever since that early morning, the people at the company started arranging for me to entertain clients…”

Tears streamed down Nancy’s face as she continued, “If I didn’t agree, they would hit me…”

Nathaniel was certain that, his subordinates would never dare to make decisions by themselves without his explicit orders.

He then had his bodyguard escort Nancy away from Elite Club. Afterwards, he ordered someone. to investigate who exactly was responsible for this.

Since this incident occurred at Elite Club, it was easy to investigate.

Over an hour later, the bodyguard reported back.

“Mr. Rainsworth, we’ve found out that it was Ms. Ross who orchestrated the attack on Nancy.”

Stella again…

In the past, Nathaniel didn’t pay much attention to what she did. But now, this matter was just too blatant.

“Go tell Stella that I will not forgive her if something like this happens again.”

The bodyguard paused for a moment, then nodded and said, “Yes.”

It was his first time seeing Nathaniel this angry because of Stella.

What bothered him wasn’t that Stella was making moves on other women, but rather she was doing so under his own name.

The next morning, Stella was taken aback when she heard that Nathaniel had found out about her involvement in arranging for Nancy to be taught a lesson.

She initially thought it wasn’t a big deal.

However, upon receiving the message from the bodyguard, it became clear that she had crossed the line with Nathaniel this time.

She was in the midst of figuring out how to explain things to Nathaniel when, to make matters worse, she received a lawyer’s letter from Cecille at her company. The court had already accepted. the plagiarism case against her.

At that moment, she no longer knew how to plead her case with Nathaniel.

“If only Zachary would be willing to help me right now…” she muttered.

Stella couldn’t help but sigh.

Compared to Nathaniel, Zachary was much easier to handle. He would always give her whatever she wanted.

It was a shame that Zachary seemed like a different person now. No matter what it was, he was unwilling to lend a hand anymore.

“Stella,” her manager couldn’t help but advise her, “This can’t go on like this. Isn’t Vivian Ms. Cecille’s lawyer? You should swallow your pride and apologize to her. That way, you could potentially bury the hatchet.”

After all, the news about Stella being involved in plagiarism had already spread widely online. Everyone knew about it at that point.

Fighting the case in court would bring her no benefits whatsoever.

“That’s all I can do, I guess.”

The thought of having to apologize to Cecilia’s friend filled Stella with reluctance, yet she found himself without any alternatives.

“Help me arrange a meeting with her.”

Cecilia was awakened by a call from Vivian.

Last night, she had a restless sleep. The thought of Nathaniel’s words, casually offering her a hundred million for each session, made her extremely upset.

“What’s up?”

“Guess what? Stella wants to meet me! She said she wants to personally apologize for the plagiarism incident. She even expects me to go see her, which is quite wishful thinking on her part. I told her to come to my place if she wants to apologize,” Vivian said, a smirk playing on her lips.

Why should the one who receives the apology have to make the trip?

“You did the right thing. She had you held up in the police station for an entire day. You absolutely cannot let her off the hook easily.”

“Yeah. You should come over too, Ceci.”

Vivian also wanted Cecilia to witness the sight of Stella apologizing submissively.
