Chapter 1781 The Ice Cream Deception
Feigning sincerity, Miranda pretended to reassure Cecilia. "Cecilia, don''t worry. We won''t put you in a difficult position. We will definitely cooperate with the
Jamieson family."
Cecilia stood up. "There''s no need for further discussion. You can take me to court."
When she left, she nced back at the two of them.
"The Jamieson Group legal department will get in touch with you."
After leaving the remark, she left without looking back.
Inside the conference room, both Robert and Miranda wore expressions of displeasure.
They initially thought that by intimidating Cecilia, she would capitte. However, they hadn''t expected her to be so resolute.
"Dad, what do we do now?"
"What else can we do? These contracts are essentially worthless now." Robert clenched his fist, mming it onto the desk. “I underestimated this woman."
They had initially thought that with Queenie being ill, they could easily manipte Cecilia. However, it turned out to be more difficult than that.
"Can''t we just sue her?" Miranda questioned.
Robert gave her a stern look. "Are you out of your mind? Do you really think we stand against Jamieson Group''s legal department?"
After Miranda was scolded by him, herplexion alternated between one of anger and embarrassment.
She remained silent, yet deep down, she couldn''t help but wish for George to kick the bucket as soon as possible.
This old geezer''s own son is utterly useless, and yet, he expects his daughter-in-w to step up. I can''t believe he even has the audacity to scold me.
After returning home, the fuming Miranda gave Adrian a call.
"Didn''t you say you were going to deal with those four brats? Why haven''t you made a move? Cecilia has already taken over as the CEO of Jamieson Group, are you nning to wait until her son takes over the Rainsworth family?"
Adrian was also constantly scheming on his end, but with his limited capabilities, he didn''t have the guts to harm Nathaniel''s child.
"Miranda, maybe we should just let it go?" Adrian suggested, sounding rather dispirited.
Miranda was on the verge ofughing out of sheer exasperation. "Adrian, think this through. If you don''t pave the way for our son, don''te crying when things go southter on."
Adrian naturally understood what she meant.
"Alright, alright, I get it."
He ended the call and headed toward Elena''s ce. Coincidentally, he overheard Elena making a video call outside.
"Jon, Eli, you two are leaving for Drocver in a few days. Why don''t youe over for a meal at my
tomorrow? I worry that I''ll 2011
miss you
too much if I can''t see you
"Alright then."
Adrian stood a short distance away, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Tomorrow? That''s a great opportunity!
The following day, Cecilia dressed her two sons in brand new outfits. Together with Nathaniel, the family set off for Rainsworth Manor.
The two children had now seamlessly be a part of the Rainsworth family.
Watching them y joyfully, Cecilia felt a wave of happiness wash over her.
She was unaware that not too far away, someone had been keeping a watchful eye on them.
After entrusting the children to the housekeeper, Cecilia and Nathaniel hadn''t been gone for long before
Adrian appeared in front of the four children.
"Jon, Eli."
Jonathan and Elliot looked in his direction.
At a nce, Elliot could tell that this so-called uncle had ill intentions. He subtly signaled to Jonathan with a look.
Jonathan also noticed it. Nevertheless, he still responded politely, "Hello, Uncle Adrian."
"Hello, kids. We have a professional
ice
today,
you guys like to
chef over at my ce
and give it a try?" Adrian asked.
Upon exchanging nces, Jonathan and Elliot both thought that Adrian was a
fool.
After all, they weren''t naive children, and being deceived by ice cream was the
Elliot was about to refuse, but Jonathan interjected, "Sure, why not."
