Chapter 1917 Just Be More Understanding


    Magnus was stunned. "How could this be? Didn''t he really like you?"


    Cecilia sighed. "You and Nathaniel are both men. So tell me, can a man truly remain endlessly devoted to a woman?"


    Magnus fell silent.


    As a man himself, he understood all too well the reality of such things. The idea of unwavering devotion seemed far-fetched.


    Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he asked, "By the way, did you get in touch with Chelsea''s parents?"


    At the mention of this, Cecilia''s expression darkened with feigned anger. "Magnus, why didn''t you tell me you were drowning in debt?"


    "Huh?" Magnus was caught off guard. "How do you know about that?"


    "I had no clue at first. But when I introduced you to Chelsea''s mother, she told me she did a background check on you. She said you had no real skills and were burdened with debt. Is that true?"


    With this revtion out in the open, it would be difficult for Magnus to ask Cecilia to continue assisting him.


    As expected, his expression changed drastically.


    "How did they even find out?"


    "Tell me, who would willingly marry their only daughter to you? Even Nathaniel got into an argument with me over this. He said youcked ambition, yet you were aiming to marry someone from the Rainsworth family."


    The mere mention of Nathaniel was enough to make Magnus fall silent.


    "Cecilia, I''m sorry for putting you in a tough spot."


    If he had realized earlier how much his actions would stand in the way of his


    chances with Chelsea, he never would have acted so carelessly.


    "What do I do now? Cecilia, you''re the CEO of Jamieson Group. Can''t you find me a job?"


    Magnus was cing all his hopes on Cecilia. But she had expected this.


    She let out a sigh and responded, "You don''t understand my current situation only recently joined Jamieson Group. I don''t have much authority yet. If you''re just looking for an entry-level position, I can arrange that for you. But if you''re hoping for something higher up, I''m afraid I don''t have the power to make that happen."


    She knew without a doubt that Magnus had no intention of settling for a lesser role. He aspired to continue as a manager or even be the head of a branch office.


    Sure enough, Magnus hesitated. "Cecilia, I was the CEO of Smith Corporation andter ran a branchpany. How could I possibly work under someone else? Hey, do you have any money? Can you lend me some?" Perhaps realizing how blunt the request sounded, he quickly added, "Once I start earning again, I promise I''ll pay you back."


    Cecilia sighed, troubled. “I can help you repay part of what you owe, but I can''t cover everything. I''ve just returned to the Jamieson family. It wouldn''t be right to ask them for money."


    Magnus didn''t fully understand Cecilia''s situation, so he decided not to push any further.


    "All right then, I''ll figure something out."


    Before ending the call, he offered a bit of unsolicited advice. "Cecilia, try not to argue with Nathaniel. It''s quite normal for men to be a bit mischievous. Just be more understanding."


    Magnus was well aware that as long as Cecilia remained Nathaniel''s wife, he still had a shot at redemption.


    "Okay."


    Cecilia ended the call.


    After settling things with Magnus, she called Charlotte over and had her transfer him some money.


    Still, the amount was far from enough to cover his financial woes.


    Charlotte sighed. "Boss, giving him money is like tossing it into the ocean."


    Cecilia was fully aware of that. Gazing out the window, she murmured, "Think of it as repaying my father for raising me."
