It was clear that Cecilia had misunderstood Nathaniel’s expression of concern.

She promptly informed Nathaniel that Sven was exceptionally strong and capable of handling ten people on his own. He was calm and even–tempered, preferring to work hard rather than talk

much.

Despite his many merits, Nathaniel increasingly felt the need to let him go.

“Ask them all to leave. I don’t like strangers,” Cecilia added.

Does she not like strangers, or she simply doesn’t like the ugly ones?

Nathaniel didn’t dare to ask. He had the bodyguards leave first..

Since Cecilia didn’t agree, Nathaniel decided to approach the matter through Sven.

Cecilia merely regarded Nathaniel’s enthusiasm as a fleeting interest. She didn’t really care about the matter at all.

Meanwhile, having learned of Cecilias,

from Paula, Magnus set off for Sparaville.

When he arrived at Cecilia’s residence, it was already ten o’clock at night.

At this time, everyone was already resting.

Braving the cold wind, Magnus knocked on the door.

Cecilia hadn’t yet fallen asleep. When she heard a knock at the door, she crawled out of her cozy bed to answer it.

She opened the door and saw Magnus, bundled up in a down jacket, with snowflakes settled all over him.

Without uttering another word, Magnus was about to enter the house, but he was stopped at the door by Cecilia.

“What are you doing here?”

“Let’s talk inside.”

It was too cold outside.

Cecilia looked at him warily, not allowing him to enter. “If there’s something you want, say it

here.”

If it had been in the past, Magnus would have pushed her away immediately. But now, he was in need of help and could do nothing but stand at the doorway, enduring the chilling wind.

“Sis, could you do me a favor?”

A smirk of cold mockery tugged at the corner of Cecilia’s mouth. “Mr. Magnus. I’m not your sister,” she reminded him. “Don’t forget, you were the one who said that a deaf person like me is unworthy of being your sister.”

“That’s just childish talk. I never took it seriously. Why should you, right?” Magnus said, glancing

around the room.

She has a perfectly good Daltonia Villa to live in, yet she chose to stay in such a rundown place. She must be out of her mind.

Though he harbored these thoughts, he dared not say it out loud. “Sis. could you consider this as helping the Smith family? I yearn for a revival. All it requires is a small sacrifice from you, which could hardly be called a sacrifice…”

“Sacrifice? Who are you planning to sell me to this time?” Cecilia coldly stared at him. her fists clenched tightly.

“I just want you to meet my brother–in–law once. As long as you agree to see him, he’ll agree to help us rebuild Smith Corporation.” Magnus placed his hand on Cecilia’s shoulder, looking straight at her. “Sis, don’t you want to rebuild Smith Corporation? Are you really willing to let Grandpa and Dad’s hard work go to waste?”

Brother–in–law….

Cecilia was bewildered..

“Who is this brother–in–law you’re talking about?”

“Of course, it’s Nathaniel. I met him today at Orion Corporation. He said that if you talk to him, he can help me,” Magnus replied without hesitation.

A sudden tension gripped Cecilia’s mind.

She knew that the person at Orion Corporation was not Nathaniel, but Nicholas.

Her eyelashes drooped slightly. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

She had also considered meeting Nicholas to discuss past matters.

However, she was already a mother of two children and was pregnant once again. The the past. It was time to move on.

“I don’t want to see him.”

After meeting with Nicholas, what then? Rekindle old flames or reminisce about the past?

Cecilia looked at Magnus‘ handsome face, which bore a striking resemblance to their father’s. “Magnus, you’re an adult now. Don’t always rely on others for everything. It’s best to depend on ourselves in this world.”
