Late at night, inside a private booth at the bar, Miranda collapsed into a man's arms, pouring out her heart about her struggles and hardships.

The man comforted her, "Bear with it a little longer. Once we secure the Rainsworth family's wealth, we'll have everything we need."

"It's not as easy as it seems. Nathaniel is a hurdle we could never overcome. He's really riding high now. Not only did he reclaim Orion Corporation, but also has four sons..." Miranda sighed. "Felix's future is definitely going to be tough."

A chilling glint flashed in the man's eyes. "Isn't there a way to eliminate them all?"

Upon hearing those words, Miranda looked at the man in slight astonishment. "What kind of joke is this?" "Miranda, there's no reward without risk. If you're too scared to do it, you can always let Adrian do it," the man suggested.

Miranda shook her head. "Adrian was already terrified by Nathaniel a long time ago. There's no way he would dare to harm Nathaniel, let alone his child."

"You'll need to push him a bit more," the man quietly advised Miranda.

Miranda listened quietly. "Do you mean let him and Cecilia..."

"Given Nathaniel's temperament, would he have let Adrian live if he really did something to Cecilia?" the man added.

Miranda nodded in agreement. "You're right. Why didn't I think of that? This way, I can make Cecilia suffer!"

"In a few days, it would be All Souls' Day, at which time they would all return."

"Okay. Let's proceed this way then."

After they reached an agreement, they embraced each other once more.

At an All Souls' Day memorial, Cecilia had paid an early tribute to Regas and Martha.

She had also visited Paula's grave, and coincidentally, she saw both Magnus and Cassandra there. Originally, Cassandra didn't want to come. However, considering her recent streak of bad luck, she decided to show up after all.

"Who would have thought you'd actually come to pay respects to Mom," Magnus teased with a sarcastic tone.

Cassandra didn't hold back her words. "I never thought an unfilial son like you would come, too."

During their relentless argument, Magnus saw Cecilia approaching, Instantly, he sheathed his sharp words and grinned. "Cecilia."

Magnus waved toward Cecilia..

Cassandra sneered at his sycophantic behavior, letting out a cold huff before delivering a sarcastic remark. "Do you think she's your sister just because you're treating her like one? Shameless."

After hearing that, Magnus retorted, "Even though she's not my biological sister, she's more like a sister to

me than a certain someone who shares my blood yet wishes to see me dead.

Cassandra was repeatedly provoked by him, and after shooting him a fierce glare, she left reluctantly.

Once she left, Magnus approached Cecilia. "Cecilia, did you come here alone?"

Originally, Nathaniel was supposed to come along, but Cecilia didn't want to interrupt his work, so she came alone.

"Yes." Cecilia nodded.noveldrama

"I suppose Nathaniel is pretty busy with work," Magnus said.

The way he was so easygoing at that moment was a far cry from the arrogant version of him in her memories.

Cecilia understood that people wouldn't change easily. The only reason Magnus treated her so well was because she was Nathaniel's wife.

At that moment, she felt a slight headache, and a flood of memories came rushing back.

She suddenly recalled that, a few years ago, he said, "Cecilia, even though you're married into the Rainsworth family, you can't forget about the Smith family. Your surname is Smith, and you should ask

your husband to help the Smith family more. Otherwise, the Smith family will collapse."

Cecilia felt a throbbing pain in her head, causing her to instinctively step back a few paces. 6.7K
