When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1438

Chapter 1438 Cassandra Vents Her Frustration 

Cassandra watched as Nicholas resolutely walked away, her eyes instantly reddening. 

She couldn’t help but chase after him but saw Jocelyn waiting for him. 

As a woman, she was not oblivious to the fact that Jocelyn harbored feelings for her husband. A raging fire of jealousy ignited within her. Overwhelmed by the intense emotion, she stormed over and, right in front of Nicholas, she slapped Jocelyn across the face. 

“Today is the second day of the New Year. What is so important that you can’t handle yourself and need Nicholas to step in personally?” 

Jocelyn’s face throbbed with a fiery pain, yet she couldn’t quite comprehend what was happening. 

Only then did Nicholas notice what had transpired. He quickly stepped forward, grabbing hold of Cassandra. 

“What are you doing?” 

When Nicholas questioned Cassandra, she instantly assumed an innocent demeanor. 

“Nicholas, I’m just heartbroken. You leaving me and Dahlia behind on such an important day…” 

Nicholas gripped her wrist tightly. “So, is that your justification for striking someone innocent?” 

His gaze was icy cold, his usual patience nowhere to be found. 

Cassandra was startled by his intense gaze. She felt a shiver down her spine, while her wrist throbbed with pain. “Nicholas, you’re hurting me,” she said. 

Nicholas, however, did not let her go. Instead, he said, “Apologize to Jocelyn.” 

Cassandra’s pupils contracted. 

“You want me to apologize to a subordinate?” 

“She isn’t just a subordinate of mine, but also a friend. Apologize!” Nicholas firmly repeated. 

With that, Cassandra reluctantly addressed Jocelyn saying, “I’m sorry, Ms. Wright.” 

Jocelyn bore the sting on her cheek, not wanting to put Nicholas in a tough spot, 

“It’s okay.” 

“Satisfied now?” Cassandra looked at Nicholas once again. 

Only then did Nicholas relax his tight grip. 

Immediately, Cassandra massaged her own wrist. Nicholas has gone too far by squeezing my hand until its red. 

She truly hadn’t expected that Nicholas would actually lay a hand on her over an assistant. 

Nicholas didn’t pay her any mind. Instead, he looked apologetically at Jocelyn. “Let’s go back to the office.”

Jocelyn nodded. “Alright.” 

Once they got into the car, the vehicle drove off. 

Finished 

Nicholas said to Jocelyn, “I brought you back to the country but failed to protect you. You’ve suffered as a result.” 

Jocelyn shook her head wryly. 

“It’s alright. It’s no big deal.” 

To her, the slap was nothing in comparison to Nicholas standing up for her and treating her as a friend. 

Nicholas, however, felt increasingly guilty. 

“If she ever lays a hand on you again in the future, you don’t have to hold back, understand?” 

“Alright.” Jocelyn forced a smile.
