Chapter 838 You Know Nothing

“I’m not going,” Nathaniel said in a subdued tone.

At that moment, the phone rang. Instinctively, he thought it was Cecilia, so he picked it up.

“Nathaniel, since Cecilia left Daltonia Villa, I’ve been alone there and it’s been rather dull. I’ve come to take care of you. Could you ask the security to open the gate?” Jessica stood at the villa entrance.

“I don’t need your care.”

After he finished speaking, he hung up and casually handed his phone to Mason. “Block her.”

“Understood.”

Without any hesitation. Mason promptly blocked Jessica.

When she tried to call Nathaniel again, she couldn’t get through..

Out of desperation, she thought of Cecilia going to the office, so she found herself heading to Orion Corporation once again. However, upon her arrival, she learned that Cecilia had taken a few days wouldn’t be coming in.

“Darn it, how could this b*tch decide not to show up at a whim?”

Jessica stood in Cecilia’s office, talking to herself.

Suddenly, a voice echoed from behind her. “Jessica, what were you saying?”

A shiver ran through Jessica in an instant. As she turned around, she was met with Nicholas‘ well–defined face. His eyes were clearly filled with warmth, yet Jessica was terrified of him.

“Nicholas, I wasn’t saying anything. I just thought it was a bit odd that Cecilia would suddenly take leave.”

After hearing this, Nicholas slowly moved forward, closing the distance between him and Jessica. A cryptic smile played on his lips.

Jessica’s entire body was shaking.

She knew better than anyone else that Nicholas was not someone to be trifled with.

Outsiders only knew how ruthless Nathaniel was, but they were unaware of the extent of Nicholas’s cunning and how deeply it was concealed.

When they were younger, everyone found Nicholas to be kind and gentle. They all enjoyed conversing with him, and Jessica was no exception. She even harbored feelings of admiration for him.

However, ever since that incident, she could no longer be fond of Nicholas. In fact, she was even scared when facing him.

“Haven’t you been taking care of Cecilia recently?” Nicholas asked. “Why would you not know that she has gone on leave?”

Jessica shook her head, gaze lowered. “That’s because she didn’t tell me. After she came back yesterday, she

Nathaniel

They had a fight?

Suddenly, Nicholas burst into laughter.

“Really? Why were they arguing about?”

Jessica shook her head. “I don’t know.”

“It seems you’ve been rather negligent in your care. You simply know nothing.” Nicholas slowly said.

Jessica’s knees grew even weaker.

Nicholas reassured her, “Don’t be scared. I’m not here to blame you. I just wanted to ask, what you to suddenly seek out Nathaniel and Cecilia?”

prompted

In response to his inquiry, Jessica didn’t hold anything back.

“Last time during All Souls‘ Day, I came here with my grandfather. Miranda pulled us aside to talk, telling us about Nathaniel’s current situation. Miranda knew that I’ve had a crush on Nathaniel since childhood. She also claimed that his affection for his wife was far from genuine and that I could easily replace her if only I made a move. Moreover, even though Nathaniel is blind, he is still very wealthy. His wealth is the kind I could never exhaust in ten lifetimes, enough to restore the Quill family to its former glory.”

She was genuinely terrified of Nicholas, and as a result, she spilled everything to him.

Nicholas was quite pleased with her reaction, gently placing his hand on her shoulder.

Jessica’s whole body trembled incessantly.

“Nicholas, please don’t be upset,” she pleaded. “If my presence here displeases you. I’ll return to the Quill residence immediately.”

When he touched Jessica, her memory instantly flashed back to t
