Chapter 648 Turn Against Her

Ever since Cecilia met up with those moms to talk about the president role of the parents” association, she had been closely monitoring their actions.

It was clear that although they had privately chatted with her just the night before, they were silent the next day. A few of them even went as far as to shut down their Instagram.

Such odd behaviors aroused suspicion in Cecilia.

It would be Monday the next day, which was the day to choose a new president for the parents” association. Cecilia wondered if the mothers would turn against her.

Cecilia tentatively sent a message to one of the mothers to ask about the bag that the mother was using.

After a while, the lady finally replied: Sorry, but this handbag doesn’t really suit me. I’ve only used it once, and it seems like it’s going to be stashed away now.

Cecilia likewise messaged the other moms, but they either complained about the quality of the items, or they said they hadn’t used them yet.

Such behavior clearly raised suspicions.

Cecilia was clear that the mothers would undoubtedly turn against her tomorrow. Despite their initial promises, it seemed likely that someone had prematurely leaked the information to Miranda.

She massaged her temples and thought that she may have been a bit too hasty this time.

Those mothers would not risk offending Miranda for the sake of a newcomer like her.

Nathaniel hadn’t slept well the previous night. As a result, he didn’t get up until very late the next day.

Upon seeing him, Cecilia asked, “You’ve only woken up?

He had a regular sleep schedule where he would wake up at seven at the latest. But now, it was already half past nine.

“There was nothing to do this morning.”

Nathaniel had taken a cold shower the night before. He was feeling a bit dizzy, so he might have caught a cold.

He walked over to Cecilia and sat down. “Have you eaten?”

“I’ve already eaten. You should go eat soon too.”

“I’m not hungry. Let’s go for a walk,” suggested Nathaniel slowly.

Cecilia had just finished her breakfast and also felt the urge to take a stroll. Hence, she agreed.

It was her way of repaying him too. After all, he had stayed by her side all of last night

“Okay.”

Temporarily forgetting the matters concerning the other mothers, she went for a walk with Nathaniel.

The chilling wind outside carried a hint of floral fragrance, subtly suggesting the arrival of spring.

Cecilia wrapped her jacket around her.

“It seems like spring is arriving quite early this year.

Nathaniel asked ambiguously, “Did something happen to you yesterday?”

Although he had asked Mason to investigate what Cecilia had done the previous day, he still wanted to hear from her directly about what she had experienced.

Taken aback, Cecilia recalled what Paula had said and what Norman had found out. She felt like there was a boulder weighing her down.

“Yesterday, I visited Paula in her jail. Nothing particularly noteworthy happened.”

The fact that her own mother may have caused the death of her biological father was something she simply couldn’t bring herself to say.

Nathaniel felt that she was hiding something, but he didn’t press her further.

The two of them fell into silence once again.

Just at that moment, Mason arrived. He stepped out of his car and walked over to Nathaniel.

“Mr. Rainsworth.”

“What’s the matter?”

Mason was now certain that Nathaniel cared deeply for Cecilia, so he no longer concealed anything.

“Mr. Rainsworth, Miranda signed an agreement with a group of mothers this morning. They collectively invested a total of one billion in her project.”

Just when it seemed like Adrian was on the brink of bankruptcy, some fools decided to invest in him. It was truly mind–boggling that they dared to trust him.

Mason inwardly rolled his eyes.

Upon hearing that, Cecilia paused for a moment. “Mr. Sanders, are you talking about the mothers from the international preschool?”

“Indeed.”

In an instant, Cecilia understood why the group of mothers had become indifferent towards her.

It turned out that they were collaborating on a business project together. Naturally, they would. assist Miranda in every possible way.
