When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 596

Chapter 596 The Cunning Child
Afterward, Elliot was heard asking, “Are you talking to me? Why should I listen to you?”

“You unwanted child! How dare you glare at me?”

“Felix, do you dare to face me alone? Have you got the guts to step in here by yourself?”

“Why would I be afraid?”

A few recorded sentences were all it took for everyone to understand the events of that day.

Felix hadn't expected that Elliot would actually record the conversation, and neither had Miranda and the others.

“That's a fake recording! Fake!” Felix looked at Niel tearfully. “Great-grandpa, this unwanted child is deceiving you.”

Unwanted child... That's the term of address used in the recording. Even if Niel wanted to play favorites, he no longer had a reason to do so.

“Mr. and Mrs. Leighton, you all heard it, didn't you? Felix was the one who started the trouble himself,” Niel said.

When Miranda's parents arrived, they came specifically to seek justice for Felix, and naturally, they would not accept this outcome.

Derek scoffed. “What can a few recorded sentences prove? It's quite possible that this kid deliberately made Felix say those things, recorded it, and then played it for us. It's clear that he's truly cunning!”

The folks from the Leighton family were masters at distorting the truth.

Cecilia somewhat regretted confronting these unreasonable people.

“Are you suggesting that a four-year-old child could fake a recording? Isn't that just absurd?” Cecilia stated icily.

“Who knows? Maybe his mother taught him,” Miranda immediately replied.

At that moment, not only was Elliot being slandered by them, but Cecilia was also dragged into the mess.

Cecilia was about to argue, but Nathaniel firmly stopped her.
