Chapter 297 Nathaniel Agrees To Divorce

The news of Nathaniel’s car accident, which resulted in his blindness, couldn’t be concealed for long. A few days later, major media outlets were reporting it.

The stocks of Orion Corporation, also known as Rainsworth Group, experienced a significant drop.

The shareholders were filled with apprehension.

Despite his advanced age,

Niel had no choice but to step in and take control of the ion.

Vivian dropped by Cecilia’s rental. When she watched the news on the television, she sighed. “It’s hard to believe that just a few days ago, he was so full of life and energy, and now, he’s blind. Who can possibly step up and take over such a vast empire like the Orion Corporation?”

Cecilia had sliced some fruit and placed it in front of her.

“Vivian, how’s the progress on the divorce case I asked you to refile?”

Vivian’s face darkened slightly. “I’m sorry, Ceci.”

“What happened?”

“Your divorce proceedings with Nathaniel caused quite a stir, even making the news, and my father saw it.” Vivian sighed. “He found out I had secured a job and in an attempt to force my compromise, he used his connections to revoke my practicing certificate.”

Cecilia couldn’t help but be surprised at her revelation.

“How did it come to this?”

“He was so eager for me to marry into the Sinclair family that he would have gladly wrapped me up and delivered me there himself. This kind of tactic was nothing to him.”

The Kennedy family could be considered a nouveau riche. When Roland was young, he lived in poverty. At his current age, what he feared most was being penniless and having to relive his past hardships.

Hence, his sole desire was to marry his daughter into a prominent family, which would not only secure her daughter’s livelihood but also provide support to his family.

“So, what’s your plan now?” asked Cecilia.

“I managed to land a clerical job, earning three to four thousand a month. It’s enough if I budget carefully,” Vivian stated, not wanting to yield to her father’s will.

“If there’s ever a time you need me, just let me know,” said Cecilia.

Vivian nodded repeatedly. “Got it. I’ll introduce you to another lawyer later-”

Before Vivian could finish her sentence, Cecilia’s phone interrupted her.

+5 Pearls

Cecilia picked up the phone and realized it was Elena on the other end. “Nathaniel asked me to tell you that you don’t need to file for divorce because he’s willing to sign the divorce papers. Let’s meet at the City Hall at ten o’clock tomorrow.”

After she finished speaking, Elena hung up the phone.

She had made up her mind. After all, Nathaniel was still alive and not impotent.

Once he divorced Cecilia, she could casually spend some money and countless women would be willing to marry her son and bear her grandchildren.

Cecilia hadn’t expected that Nathaniel would be willing to divorce her.

She informed Vivian of the news.

Vivian couldn’t believe it either. “Did he change his mind after his amnesia?”

“Well, his personality did change a little.”

As Cecilia recalled her time in the hospital, she remembered how Nathaniel had held her hand tightly, pleading with her not to leave him. His words were filled with a humble desperation.

She immediately brushed away the image in her mind.

The next morning, Cecilia had risen early, had breakfast, and layered on one piece of clothing after another. Only after bundling up in a heavy coat did she step outside.

Sven drove her to the City Hall.

They had arrived half an hour early. Cecilia thought Nathaniel hadn’t arrived yet, so she planned to wait for him inside the City Hall after getting out of the car.

However, she immediately spotted Nathaniel waiting by the counter after stepping inside.

Sunglasses sat on his high nose, his thin lips tightly pursed, and he sat quietly dressed in a dark

Coal

He stood out, attracting everyone’s attention compared to those around him.

After observing for quite some time, Cecilia was about to approach when she saw Mason, carrying a cup of hot water over.

“Have some water, Mr. Rainsworth.”

Having waited for an hour, Mason worried that Nathaniel might be parched.

Instead of accepting, Nathaniel simply asked, “What time is it?”

Just as Mason was about to check his watch, his gaze inadvertently fell on Cecilia.

He pretended not to see her, continuing to tell the time. “It’s nine thirty–three.”
