When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1465 Who Is This

"What are you all doing? Lysanna, why are you hitting her?" Thomas scolded sternly,

Lysanna was quick to play the victim. "Mr. Stafford, it was Cecilia who attacked me first. I was just defending myself."

Thomas frowned deeply.

"Let go of her now."

Reluctantly, Lysanna released Cecilia. In a voice low enough for only the two of them to hear, she threatened, "You got lucky today. Just wait. As long as you stay in this company, you'll regret it."

Cecilia straightened her clothes, which had been disheveled during the scuffle with Lysanna and another woman, and calmly returned to her seat.

When the results came back from the hospital, she wouldn't be the one leaving first.

After the fight, Cecilia's hands and face bore scratches.

She lowered her head, tending to her wounds, paying no attention to either Thomas or Nathaniel.

Meanwhile, Lysanna noticed the tall, strikingly handsome Nathaniel and immediately approached him. "Mr. Stafford, who is this?"

Before Thomas could answer, Nathaniel ignored Lysanna entirely and walked straight toward Cecilia.

When his eyes landed on the scratches on her face and hands, he narrowed his gaze.novelbin

"Besides that woman, who else hurt you?" Nathaniel asked.

Startled by his sudden question, Cecilia looked up, her gaze meeting his intense and profound eyes.

There was something strange about the way he looked at her, something she couldn't quite put her finger

1. on.

She didn't respond, but Lysanna interjected, stepping forward. "You must be Mr. Rainsworth. This was all a misunderstanding. Don't be fooled by how innocent she looks. Just earlier, she slapped me twice outside." Such a handsome and wealthy man. She was determined to engage him further in conversation.

However, Nathaniel's expression remained cold. "If my wife wants to slap someone, why shouldn't she?"

Wife?

Lysanna froze.

Cecilia was equally stunned. Since when had I become his wife? I'm Nicholas' girlfriend!

Before Cecilia could process what was happening, Nathaniel added, "Would one million per slap suffice?" Lysanna was still in shock.

Nathaniel continued, "Do you know how much my wife's face and hands are worth?"

Lysanna hadn't expected Cecilia to have a husband, let alone one with both wealth and power.

Finished

She suddenly recalled that when she had replied to messages on Cecilia's phone the previous day, the sender's last name was also Rainsworth.

Cecilia said he was just her boyfriend. How are they already married?

At this moment, Thomas stepped forward as well. "Mr. Rainsworth, is Ms. Smith your wife?"

"Of course," Nathaniel replied without hesitation. "My wife doesn't enjoy staying home every day, so she took this job for fun. Who would've thought it would turn out like this? Clearly, there's no need for us to continue collaborating with your company."

Thomas immediately panicked. "Mr. Rainsworth, there must be some misunderstanding here!"

He turned to Lysanna.

"Lysanna, what's wrong with you? How dare you bully a colleague? You're fired."

Then he addressed the other employees present.

One by one, they lowered their heads in fear.

None of them had expected Cecilia's husband to be such a powerful figure. Moments ago, they had even been gossiping and slandering her.

Each prayed silently, vowing never to spread rumors again.

"Who else was involved in bullying Mrs. Rainsworth just now?" Thomas growled. He didn't mind firing all the employees present if it meant Nathaniel would be appeased.

"If you come forward now, I might be lenient. If I have to find out myself, don't expect to work in this industry again!"

A coworker who had joined Lysanna earlier stepped forward timidly. "Mr. Stafford, I'm sorry. I only disrespected Mrs. Rainsworth because Lysanna told me to."
