When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 818 I Will Not Resign

Inside the car, Nathaniel was leaning against the back seat, resting with his eyes closed.

Seeing him, Cecilia felt an inexplicable confusion. “Nathaniel, what is this about?”

Nathaniel opened his eyes only upon hearing her indignant words. “I want you to tell Nicholas that you’re resigning. Do it right in front of me.”

Cecilia hadn’t anticipated that he would go so far as to have her tied up in a car just to force her resignation.

“I won’t resign.” She refused. Why should I since I’m doing a great job?

Moreover, Cecilia had now found a way to irritate Cassandra. If I were to resign now, wouldn’t Cassandra interpret it as me being afraid of her?

Nathaniel’s handsome face grew disdainful, and he spoke with a cold, piercing tone. “You’re carrying my child now. Do you think you can rekindle your past relationship with Nicholas?”

A wave of frustration washed over Cecilia. If it weren’t for the fact that Nathaniel was suffering from amnesia, she would have given him a piece of her mind.

Her silence deepened Nathaniel’s frown, as he believed she might genuinely harbor such a thought. “Cecilia, don’t forget that you’re pregnant and already a mother to two children. It’s one thing if you don’t care about your reputation, but what about your kids? You could bring shame to the Rainsworth family.”

As soon as Nathaniel finished speaking, Cecilia’s anger erupted. She clenched her fist tightly and delivered a hard punch to his chest.

Her speed was such that her subordinates barely had time to react before the blow landed.

The shock on their faces was palpable.

Cecilia, driven by fury, landed several more punches on Nathaniel in rapid succession. It wasn’t until he caught her final punch by the wrist that she finally ceased her assault.

“What’s the matter? Did I hit a nerve and drive you mad?” Nathaniel asked, puzzled. The spot where she had hit him didn’t hurt; in fact, it felt oddly ticklish.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

He was baffled by this strange sensation.

Cecilia’s face flushed with anger. “Are you out of your mind? Why would you even think that your wife would cheat on you?”

Her words made her subordinates in the car struggle to stifle their laughter, each one turning away to hide

their amusement

Nathaniel tightly gripped Cecilia’s wrist, his face darkening. “Stop the car.”

Cecilia had initially thought he would kick her out of the car, but to her surprise, when the vehicle stopped, all the henchmen and the driver got out, leaving just the two of them inside.

The atmosphere in the car became stifling, and Cecilia anger continued to simmer.

She could tolerate discussions about other people and things, but she couldn’t stand Nathaniel making remarks about her children.

“Let me go!” demanded Cecilia.

Not only did Nathaniel not let go, but he also gripped her wrist even tighter. “Apologize to me right now.”

“Why should I apologize?” Cecilia shot back. “You’re accusing me of wanting to rekindle things with Nicholas. Do you have any proof? If you don’t, why are you making baseless assumptions? The one who should apologize is you, for being so misguided.”

She glared at him, noticing he still hadn’t loosened his hold.

His grip was painfully tight, and Cecilia resolved that she would not give in any longer.

Cecilia leaned in and bit the back of Nathaniel’s hand.

A sudden pain shot through Nathaniel’s hand, and he immediately released Cecilia. Not only did she dare to defy me like this, but she also had the audacity to bite me?

Once Nathaniel loosened his grip, Cecilia released her bite.

“If you’re not well, you should go home and rest. Don’t come looking for me until you’re fully recovered. I don’t want to be upset by you.” With that, Cecilia opened the car door and stepped out of the vehicle.

Furious, Cecilia took deep breaths to calm herself, mindful of her pregnancy.

Nathaniel’s subordinates and driver, standing by the roadside, observed her exit from the car with concern. They then cast uncertain glances back at the car, waiting to see how their boss would respond.

Ten seconds later, a deep voice from Nathaniel echoed from the car. “What are you waiting for? Get in the car.”

All his men then immediately returned to the car.

The back of Nathaniel’s hand still bore the marks of two rows of teeth. His handsome face was utterly grim. “Where are we now?”
