When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1594

Chapter 1594 At Jamieson Group 

Brooklyn was rather straightforward, always speaking her mind. 

Just then, Queenie walked over, looking slightly flustered. “Brooklyn, don’t scare Ceci,” she chided. 

Only then did Brooklyn snap out of her enthusiasm, releasing Cecilia from the embrace. Her gaze shifted to Elliot, who was standing a few steps away. 

Elliot, sensing the shift in attention, quickly took a step back. “Ma’am, please, don’t hug me,” he said, his voice polite but firm. 

Brooklyn let out a hearty laugh, “Oh, I’m your grandaunt, sweetie.” 

Elliot frowned and turned his head away, “I don’t have a grandaunt.” 

Brooklyn didn’t seem the least bit offended; instead, she chuckled and crouched down to Elliot’s level. “But I really am your grandaunt, whether you like it or not. Come on, let your grandaunt give you a hug.” 

“No,” Elliot replied firmly, taking another step back. 

Queenie quickly intervened, gently pulling Brooklyn aside. “All right, enough. The child is just shy.” 

Elliot scoffed. I’m not shy. I’m only here to protect my mom. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have bothered to come. 

Brooklyn finally relented, her gaze shifting back to Nathaniel, now filled with admiration. The playful spark she had shown earlier faded, replaced by a more composed demeanor. 

“Mr. Rainsworth, I’ve heard so much about you,” she remarked warmly. 

Nathaniel returned the sentiment with a polite nod. 

“You absolutely must take good care of Ceci,” Brooklyn added with a hint of seriousness, her tone now more firm. “You can’t let anyone bully her.” 

“Of course,” Nathaniel replied earnestly. 

Queenie intervened, “All right. Let’s head upstairs and talk.” 

As the group made their way upstairs, the staff in the lobby stood in stunned silence, processing what they had just witnessed. 

So they’re not here for an interview after all. They’re actually Mdm. Queenie’s relatives. And that woman… Mdm. Queenie’s daughter? 

“She must be the long–lost daughter,” another added, eyes wide with admiration. “She’s so beautiful and graceful.” 

“Definitely,” said another, “I wonder what her personality is like.” 

“Well, as long as she’s better than Cassandra, we’ll be fine,” one staff member commented, with a hint of relief. “If Cassandra ever takes over the company, we might be in trouble.” 

“Yeah.”

The staff, having long been disillusioned with Cassandra’s methods, couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief as they saw Cecilia arrive. They silently hoped that the future heir of the company would bring a fresh, more competent perspective, one that wouldn’t follow in Cassandra’s footsteps. 

Cassandra seethed with jealousy and resentment. Watching the staff’s reactions, she muttered bitterly to herself, “You’re all going to get fired sooner or later.” 

Upstairs in the CEO’s office, Queenie had Caliste bring in an array of exquisite dishes while also calling Grover over. 

“Ceci, Nathaniel, I asked you to come here because there’s something important I need to share,” Queenie said, her tone ‘serious. 

Cecilia, looking puzzled, asked, “What’s going on?” 

Just then, Grover stepped forward and handed Cecilia the will she had prepared.
