When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 617

Chapter 617 She Is Also An Independent Woman
Before long, Priscilla received a text message from Miranda, asking her to come over.

She apologized to Cecilia, saying, “I need to head over there for a bit and will be back soon.”

Rather than trying to win over Cecilia, what mattered more to her at the moment was not to offend Miranda.

Cecilia understood that as well, so she hadn't made things difficult for her.

Consequently, most of the time, Miranda was engrossed in boasting before the group while Cecilia sat quietly in a corner.

“Ms. Miranda, I heard that your husband spent a few hundred million in an attempt to monopolize the market through bulk purchasing. Is that true?” one of the mothers inquired.

Miranda took a sip of coffee before correcting, “It's not just a few hundred million, but five billion. And that five billion is merely the initial investment, who knows how much more will be needed later on.”

How could a few hundred million be enough to monopolize a business?

Five billion?

Rumor had it that it only took a week's time.

Everyone was deeply impressed.

A collateral family of the Rainsworths was already spending a king's ransom in their business endeavors. One could only imagine how much Nathaniel, the current family head, required for each project.

“Ms. Miranda, my husband is also familiar with this line of work. If there's time, could—” one of the mothers began, seizing the opportunity to initiate a collaboration between Rainsworth Group and her husband.

Yet, Miranda interrupted, “I'm sorry, but when it comes to work, it's usually my husband who makes the decisions. As for me, I'm just a housewife.”

The audacity of her words was infuriating, yet no one else dared to utter a word.

At that moment, Miranda gave a knowing look to a mother nearby. Catching the hint, the mother turned to Cecilia and asked, “Ms. Cecilia, what does your husband do for a living?”

As soon as she spoke, another mother chimed in before Cecilia could respond. “Isn't Ms. Cecilia's husband Nathaniel Rainsworth? He had a car accident and lost his sight, right? I think he's currently unemployed?”

Miranda picked up her cup but didn't take a sip, only using it to hide her smile.

Another mother chimed in, “Ms. Cecilia, where did you get the money for all the fancy clothes and accessories you're wearing?”
