When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1187 Thank Me

“Cecilia. I heard that Nicholas is about to get married, so I came not only to attend his wedding but also to express my gratitude to you, Jessica said with a smile.

“Thank me?” Cecilia was perplexed, unsure of what she was hinting at,

“Yeah. If it weren’t for your refusal to give up Nathaniel to me, I would never have met Mr. Blaine,” Jessica said. As she spoke, she extended her hand to show Cecilia and Vivian the gemstone ring on her finger. It was even larger than a pigeon’s egg “Mr. Blaine gave me this. It’s beautiful, isn’t it?”

The later thought Jessica had a loose screw in her head. What does she mean by that? I’ve heard of giving away possessions but never of giving away a husband. What a twisted perspective.

“It looks good. Congratulations. Cecilia didn’t care about Jessica’s flaunting and even congratulated her.

It was evident to Cecilia that Elena would never push her own nephew into trouble. Moreover, Elena had mentioned before that Blaine was far from a loyal lover.

Upon noticing that Cecilia didn’t harbor any jealousy toward her, Jessica suddenly lost interest

She thought Cecilia would be driven mad with jealousy if the latter saw her getting together with a better man.

“Cecilia, you really don’t need to pretend. We’re both women, and I understand how aggrieved you must feel now that Nathaniel has become an idiot and blind.”

Cecilia was somewhat speechless. “Oh. What should I have done, then?”

Jessica was taken aback.

“Cecilia, I believe you shouldn’t keep everything bottled up inside. If you’re feeling resentful or unhappy, just express it, okay? You’re pregnant, and with Nathaniel in his current state, keeping it all in could easily lead to problems. Although it appeared as if she was considering Cecilia’s feelings, she was just eager to see Cecilia lose her cool.

Cecilia dismissed Jessica’s concerns. “Don’t worry, I’m not holding anything back. I eat and drink well every day. Plus, my mother–in–law gives me fifty million every month. I can’t even spend it all, so what’s there to be unhappy about?”

Upon hearing that Elena was giving Cecilia fifty million each month, Jessica couldn’t help but feel a twinge of jealousy.

The jewel–encrusted ring on her hand was worth no more than ten million, a prize hard–won only after painstakingly pleasing Blaine.

Meanwhile, Cecilia had a monthly allowance of fifty million.

As such, Jessica became unhappy.

As they chatted, they heard someone mention that the bride had arrived.

Everyone turned their attention to the newly arrived bride. Cassandra, dressed in a stunning white wedding gown, was a breathtaking sight. By her side, Nicholas stood in a suit, both of them a picture of a perfect match.

Jessica was amazed. “Cassandra’s wedding is truly extravagant. You can see all the high society folks from Tudela are present. I heard that her wedding dress alone was worth a fortune.”

Cecilia and Vivian did not engage in conversation with her.

Feeling bored, Jessica sought out Blaine again.

Once she left, Vivian felt the air around her become much fresher.

“Ceci, no need to get upset over her words. I know how Blaine is, and trust me, she isn’t going to be doing well.” Vivian said.

Surprised, Cecilia asked, “You know him?”

“As someone with a penchant for handsome men, how could I possibly not know him?” Vivian continued. “Besides, my father has always wanted me to marry into an incredibly wealthy family, so of course, I’ve done my homework. Blaine has been with many women, and not a single one of them ended well.”

“What do you mean?” Cecilia’s curiosity was piqued.

“According to the information my dad gathered privately, this guy’s interest in women is fleeting, never lasting more than three months. The women he’s been with either end up dead or mentally ill.”
