Chapter 784 Taking Precautions

Cecilia didn’t expect Jessica to have ulterior motives but wasn’t particularly clever.

This made things easier as dealing with her wouldn’t require much effort.

“I’m going to rest now.”

“Okay, I won’t disturb you then,” Jessica responded.

She had originally planned to remind Cecilia not to sleep too much, but seeing that Cecilia was so kind, she decided not to be a busybody.

Cecilia took a short walk in the garden before sitting down to rest.

From a distance, she saw Jessica returning with a large bag of gifts, handing them out one by one. to the maids and security guards at the mansion.

Cecilia silently observed Jessica trying to curry favor with the staff but didn’t intervene.

If people could be swayed by a few gifts, it only proved that they could be turned just as easily with a few more.

Ignoring Jessica’s antics, Cecilia returned to her book and continued studying music scores.

Jessica would glance over occasionally Cecilia’s complete lack of interest in her actions. emboldened her even further. She started openly making plans with the mansion’s staff to go out for meals.

She even sent a message to Mason, inviting him to join them.

Mason checked his schedule and saw that he only had free time after nine in the evening the day after tomorrow. He told Jessica as much.

Without hesitation, she arranged a private dinner with Mason at nine in the evening the following evening.

Mason wasn’t like the other maids. He had been by Nathaniel’s side for longer than even Cecilia

had.

If she could win Mason over, it would give her more chances to get close to Nathaniel.

Later, during dinner, Jessica casually placed her phone on the table. After Cecilia sat down, she heard a text notification.

Glancing over instinctively, she saw a message pop up on Jessica’s phone.

The contact name was Mason.

Mason: Okay, half past nine, Moonlit Restaurant. See you the day after tomorrow.

Cecilia wasn’t trying to pry into Jessica’s affairs, but Jessica had Mason’s contact, and they were

even meeting at half past nine in the evening at Moonlit Restaurant.

Moonlit Restaurant was a well–known couple’s spot, complete with a hotel and amenities designed for romantic getaways.

+5 Pearls

Cecilia knew about the place because, in the past, she had booked it in hopes of getting closer to Nathaniel and having a child together.

But unfortunately, Nathaniel never showed up.

Cecilia also remembered Mason mentioning he went on a blind date and was now his fiancée.

Does Mason’s fiancée know he is meeting Jessica at such a place?

Cecilia wasn’t one to meddle in other people’s business, but she needed to protect herself.

She discreetly took a photo of the message as evidence.

If Mason and Jessica were up to no good, she would have to take preventative measures.

By the time Jessica returned, the phone screen had already gone dark, so she had no idea Cecilia had seen her message.

Later in the evening, after dinner, Cecilia sat on the couch, noticing Jessica chatting animatedly with someone on her phone.

She could only hope it wasn’t Mason. Otherwise, his fiancée would be heartbroken.

As a woman, Cecilia understood all too well how much it hurt to be betrayed by a man.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Paula was going through a particularly tough time.

Ralph had found another woman, and her daughter, Cassandra, barely cared about her.

Cassandra had promised to confront her father about his affair just a week ago, but now, days had passed without any update.

Even outsiders could tell that the Evans family didn’t care about her, but she wasn’t ready to admit it yet.
