When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1925

Chapter 1925 Eli Is Different
I incited my son?

Cecilia found Isabelle's accusation utterly absurd. When did I incite my son to harm Felix?

Miranda is clearly behind it, yet the blame has conveniently fallen onto my shoulders.

What version of me has Miranda been portraying to her circle of friends?

Isabelle's voice was loud enough to catch the attention of the noble ladies nearby. They were filled with disbelief.

“Inciting a child to harm someone? How could she do that?”

“Isn't she the woman Queenie from Jamieson Group recently acknowledged as her biological daughter? And she's also married into the Rainsworth family.”

“It's her. She was originally the heiress of the Smith family. Somehow, she had a stroke of luck and became the heiress of the Jamieson family instead.”

“Well, I guess you have to be shrewd to marry into the Rainsworth family.”

The murmurs grew as the noble ladies whispered among themselves.

They were well aware of Cecilia's current status and influence, so none dared to speak too loudly.

Cecilia glanced at Isabelle, refusing to let herself be framed as a woman who had led her son astray.

“Ms. Bates, could you kindly explain how I supposedly incited my child into harming others? Do you have any proof?” she asked, her voice calm and composed.

Isabelle had assumed Cecilia wouldn't have the audacity to challenge her.

After all, years ago, they had crossed paths, and back then, Cecilia had been the one constantly targeted, rarely speaking up for herself.

But this time, Cecilia confronted her directly, catching her completely off guard.

She hesitated for a moment, mind racing for a response. When she finally spoke, her tone was sharp and cold. “What more proof do you need? Isn't Felix's hospitalization the best evidence? Your son nearly caused him to freeze to death.”

I see...

Cecilia recalled the incident.
