When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 696

Chapter 696 Foul Mouth
Miranda had lost her parking spot, so she had walked over. Upon seeing Priscilla coming toward her with a flattering demeanor, her face was full of disdain.

Her secretary, understanding the situation, stepped in to intercept Priscilla.

Miranda scoffed, “Do you really think just anyone can be my friend?”

Even if she wasn't the president of the parents' association, she was still considered the future daughter-in-law of the Rainsworth family.

At most, Priscilla was merely the wife of a nouveau riche, she couldn't even be considered part of the elite.

Previously, the only reason she interacted with Priscilla was to use her as a pawn against Cecilia. Now, it was clear that Priscilla no longer held any value for her schemes.

Priscilla was stunned, frozen on the spot. The surrounding mothers looked at her without a trace of sympathy, their faces filled with mockery.

Meredith stepped in front of her. “Let me give you a piece of advice. In life, don't be too slick. If you're too slick, you'll end up with nothing.”

In this world, it wasn't wrong for everyone to gravitate toward those with power and influence.

But one couldn't possibly be a double agent, right?

After advising Priscilla, Meredith turned to Cecilia and Helen, suggesting, “Let's go over and wait for our children.”

“All right.”

The three of them walked away.

Inevitably, Cecilia found herself asking Helen, “What kind of business is your husband in, Helen?”

After hearing this, Helen sighed and said, “The seafood industry. It's on the brink of collapse. My husband is preparing to file for bankruptcy next month.”

Cecilia was pondering whether to offer help when Meredith stepped in. “Helen, if you trust me, I can lend a hand. Our family are also involved in the seafood business. My dad has quite a few connections. If you ever find yourself in a bind, don't hesitate to let me know.”

Meredith wasn't one to just casually help others. She spoke up because she noticed that Cecilia was intent on assisting this individual.

“Really? That's fantastic, thank you.”

“No need for formalities, it's really nothing.”

The trio were engaged in a lively conversation, laughing and chatting. From Miranda's perspective, their apparent joy was particularly jarring.

What irked her even more was that after class, Felix practically ran toward her with tears in his eyes.

“Mom, they bullied me.”
