When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 821 I Can Apologize To Her

To avoid being seen by the two, Cecilia went to the security office.

The security guard looked puzzled. “Mrs. Rainsworth, what are you doing here?”

“Don’t worry about it,” Cecilia replied.

“Oh.”

Cecilia instructed him to open the front gate’s camera feed. Mason stood at the door waiting for her, only to see Jessica coming out instead.

“Mason!”

Jessica ran toward him, her eyes filled with affection.

Mason instinctively took a step back, his favorable impression of her long gone. “Ms. Quill, you should address me as ‘Mr. Sanders.”

Jessica was shocked and halted in her tracks.

“What’s wrong with you? Are you upset with me because of her?” she asked, her eyes glistening with unshed tears as she stepped closer.

“I’m sorry. Please don’t be angry. I can apologize to her if you want.”

“Apologize for what?” Mason asked.

Jessica mumbled, “For making her misunderstand our relationship.”

Mason took out his phone and played a recording, in which Jessica’s arrogant voice could be heard.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

“Do you know why I arranged to meet Mason privately today? It’s because I wanted to seduce him. What can you do about it?”

Jessica’s face turned pale instantly.

Mason coldly stared at her. “Ms. Quill, from now on, let’s just be strangers. Please don’t call me by my name anymore. I’m not that close to you.”

Jessica’s face flushed with embarrassment.

She had never imagined that the conversation between her and Lucille had been recorded.

She didn’t expect Lucille to be so scheming!

From now on, she would need to be more cautious about what she said and did.

Now that the truth was out, Jessica no longer cared about appearances. With tears in her eyes, she said, “Mason, I had my reasons for saying that. It’s because she hit me first. After that, I lost control and said things I didn’t mean. And besides, I really do like you.”

Jessica thought she understood men. After all, who would dislike being adored by others?

Unfortunately, she misjudged Mason.

“Ms. Quill, do you need me to play the first part of the recording for you? It’s clear in there whether Lucy hit you or not.”

Jessica tried to say something else, but Mason cut her off. “I came here to see Mrs. Rainsworth. Could you please leave?”

With those words, Jessica couldn’t stay any longer no matter how thick–skinned she was.

She left with teary eyes.

Inside the security office, Cecilia couldn’t hear what Mason was saying to Jessica, but based on his behavior, there was clearly no ambiguous relationship between them.

Relieved, she copied the security footage and left.

As she exited, she didn’t notice the strange expression on the security guard’s face.

The security guard had always thought Jessica liked him, but seeing her pull on Mason in the footage, he realized she might have feelings for others besides him

Once Cecilia was sure nothing had happened between Mason and Jessica, she went out to meet him.

Jessica tried to stay and eavesdrop on their conversation, but Mason firmly sent her away.

After Jessica left, Mason asked Cecilia, “Mrs. Rainsworth, did you say something to my fiancée?”

Before Cecilia could respond, Mason continued, “In the past, I may have done some things that were disrespectful to you. If you have a problem with me, please direct it at me, not Lucy.”

Cecilia remained calm.

“Mason, I did reach out to Lucille privately, and I told her about you and Jessica going to a romantic restaurant late at night.”

As for why, honestly, it wasn’t to get back at you.” She didn’t think she was that petty. “The truth is, I don’t like Jessica, and I can’t stand cheaters.”
