Chapter 310 Shareholder Meeting

Martha was taken aback when she saw Nathaniel’s prestigious figure in the kitchen, sleeves rolled up as he washed dishes. The sink was overflowing with soap suds, and Nathaniel appeared completely out of place in this mundane setting.

Martha had only interacted with Nathaniel once before, during a phone call five years ago. Back then, she had pleaded with him to treat Cecilia kindly, but Nathaniel’s indifference had been painfully clear.

His words still echoed in her memory, “What does it matter to me how she lives her life? She brought it on herself!”

Martha couldn’t replace any pity for him now. In her eyes, Nathaniel was simply getting what he deserved.

Martha had been battling a lung nodule that left her weak and frail. Her health fluctuated, and she knew her time was limited. All she wanted was to spend whatever time she had left with Cecilia, ensuring her happiness.

She slowly made her way to the kitchen, her voice cold as she said, “Mr. Rainsworth, if; uncomfortable here, you can leave. You might not be accustomed to living in a simple household. like ours.”

Nathaniel listened to the voice, recognizing it as Martha, Cecilia’s nanny, whom she saw as a mother figure. Despite the sternness in her tone, he responded calmly, “If Ceci could live here, then I can live here too.”

Martha paused, momentarily surprised.

Is this really the same Nathaniel who was once insufferably arrogant?

She felt certain that his change in behavior was merely a facade due to his blindness. It wouldn’t last long, and she saw no reason to concern herself with him.

Although Cecilia had mentioned that no one except Nathaniel was allowed to visit, Mason was still worried about his boss.

Early in the morning, he drove over to check on him. To his surprise, he saw Nathaniel through the window, being directed by Cecilia to wash dishes and clean up.

Mason was completely astonished. Unable to believe what he was seeing, he decided to take advantage of the situation. When Martha went to rest, and Cecilia was occupied in the music room, Mason climbed over the wall and entered the house.

“Mr. Rainsworth, how could you do such things?” Mason exclaimed, taking the plates and utensils from Nathaniel’s hand to help him with the dishes.

Nathaniel furrowed his brow. “How did you get in here?”

“I wasn’t at ease leaving you alone,” Mason admitted. He had been Nathaniel’s personal secretary

for over nine years, and their relationship had grown beyond just superior and subordinate–they were friends. Despite Nathaniel’s fiery temper and ruthless actions, he had always been fair to

Mason.

“If you’re here, then help me finish cleaning up, and make sure Cecilia doesn’t replace out,” Nathaniel instructed seriously.

Mason replied after a pause. “Okay.”

As he secretly assisted Nathaniel, Mason also briefed him on the recent developments at the company. “The company is holding a shareholders‘ meeting this afternoon,” he informed Nathaniel. “They’re planning to dismiss you from your position.”

Nathaniel listened in silence. “Understood. When you get back, compile all the work I’ve handled.

Mason nodded. “All right.”

Ever since Nathaniel found out about Cecilia’s pregnancy, he had resolved to reclaim what was his, even if it meant fighting his blindness. He needed to protect Cecilia and their child, no matter the cost.

Upstairs, after finishing her composition, Cecilia was curious to see how Nathaniel was managing

his tasks.

She didn’t directly acknowledge how well he had done, but as she descended the stairs, she was greeted by the sight of a spotless kitchen and a tidy living room. The plates and utensils were neatly arranged, and the room was immaculate.

Cecilia couldn’t help but wonder if there was nothing wrong with Nathaniel’s eyes after all.

At that moment, Nathaniel was seated on the couch, engrossed in learning Braille. His senses were particularly sharp at that moment. He looked up as Cecilia entered the room. “Have your finished your work for the day?”

“How did you know it was me and not Martha?” Cecilia asked, intrigued.

“The sound of your footsteps is different,” Nathaniel replied.

Cecilia couldn’t help but admire his attentiveness. “Did you do all the cleaning?”

Nathaniel hesitated for a moment before replying, “Yes, I did.”

Cecilia wasn’t entirely sure if it was true, but she didn’t press the matter. With Martha asleep and no inspiration for her music, Cecilia decided to turn on the television to catch up on the news.

When she tuned into the financial channel, Cecilia saw that a shareholders‘ meeting of Orion Corporation was being broadcast on television.
