Chapter 817 You Have Changed

Cassandra’s eyes instantly welled up with tears when Nicholas yelled at her right in front of Cecilia.

She was so intimidated by Nicholas that she had to stifle her grievances and reluctantly return to her office.

Once she left, Nicholas turned his gaze toward Cecilia. “You should learn to handle things like how I did in the future. Don’t let anyone bully you. Remember to fight back.”

With that, he walked toward the office, leaving Cecilia bewildered.

When Cassandra saw Nicholas return to the office, her eyes were teary, and she looked extremely aggrieved. “Nicholas, why did you raise your voice at me in front of Cecilia? Do you still have feelings for her?”

Nicholas didn’t respond directly. Instead, he asked, “Did you not notice the people around you just now?”

Cassandra looked at him, puzzled.

“How could you, my fiancée, act like that toward Cecilia in front of all those senior executives? What will others think of us?”

Cassandra was at a loss for words at the moment.

Nicholas added, “My mother was the one who decided to let Cecilia come to work here. The intention was for her to assist Nathaniel, who, as you know, is currently blind. There are quite a few people out there who want him dead. That’s why I wanted Cecilia around to keep an eye on things and learn the ins and outs of the company.”

The anger in Cassandra’s heart subsided after hearing his explanation.

She lowered her head. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

Nicholas enunciated each word clearly. “To me, these are insignificant matters. I just didn’t realize they were so important to you. From now on, you’d better not come to the company anymore.”

“Excuse me?”

“You wouldn’t want to put me in a difficult position, would you?”

Though Cassandra was not a responsible daughter and often put her interests above others, she fell in love with Nicholas. Therefore, she would obey Nicholas‘ instructions, regardless of what they were.

“All right.” After nodding, she couldn’t help but ask, “Nicholas, promise you’ll never hurt me, okay?”

“Don’t worry,” Nicholas replied with an inscrutable, deep

gaze.

Only then did Cassandra feel reassured enough to leave.

After she left, Jocelyn brought over his lunch. As she placed it on the table, she said, “Mr. Nicholas, I think you’ve changed.”

Having spent many years by Nicholas‘ side, she could easily discern who Nicholas was in love with.

Upon hearing those words, Nicholas stepped forward. “People change, don’t they?”

Jocelyn’s hand paused as she handed him the utensils.

Deep down, she wanted him to know that she had always remained the same.

While retrieving the utensils, Nicholas asked, “Where’s Ceci?”

“Mrs. Rainsworth has already left the office.”

Jocelyn wanted to remind Nicholas of Cecilia’s status, so she always referred to Cecilia as “Mrs. Rainsworth” in front of him.

“Is she angry?” Yet, Nicholas seemed unfazed. “From now on, keep an eye on Cassandra. Don’t let her barge in again.”

He had gone to great lengths to secure Cecilia a position at the company. Even if their time together was limited to just three hours a day, it was more than enough for him.

“All right,” Jocelyn replied, her concern deepening.

Nicholas had grown increasingly obstinate, willing to challenge the world for Cecilia.

However, the truth was that Cecilia had long forgotten him, showing no sign of affection.

As soon as Cecilia stepped out of the entrance of Orion Corporation, a black business car came to a halt right in front of her.

Before she could even react, several men emerged from the vehicle, swiftly bundling her up and dragging her into the vehicle.

Everything had happened so swiftly that she hadn’t even had the chance to get in touch with Sven.

Although Sven wasn’t around as he had gone to pick up Elliot, there was still the bodyguard that Nathaniel had always assigned to stay by Cecilia’s side.

Cecilia wondered who had the audacity to do this to her. It wasn’t until she got into the car that she finally understood what was going on.
