Chapter 1314 Provoke Blaine

Nathaniel became even more unhappy. He reached out, gently brushing his hand against Cecilia's face.

At that moment, Cecilia had fallen asleep. Sensing something on her face, she swatted the hand away and continued to sleep.

Nathaniel was somewhat helpless, gently pulling her into his arms and closing his eyes to sleep.

The following morning, Lucille was engrossed in the news when Cecilia leaned in to join her. The headline that caught their attention was about a woman who had tragically drowned in the river. "It's terrifying. We should start coming back earlier in the evenings," Lucille said.

Charlotte walked over, cast a glance, and said, "There's no need to be afraid when I'm here. I'll protect you."

However, she quickly noticed the somewhat blurry photo in the news.

"Isn't that woman the one who was outside yesterday?"

""What?" Lucille was stunned.

The face in the photo was utterly indiscernible, with only the silhouettes vaguely visible.

Cecilia was somewhat surprised, and she leaned in for a closer inspection.

Charlotte patiently said to the two, "Don't you guys think the body shape is identical? Also, those scars..."

She had practiced before, so naturally, she had studied as well, understanding how to memorize the physical characteristics of others.

"It seems so... Could it really be Jessica?" Lucille was in disbelief.

Upon hearing Charlotte's words, Cecilia also noticed those scars. The person in the photo really resembled Jessica.

However, her clothes had changed.

Without sparing another glance, Cecilia turned around to search for Nathaniel.

Nathaniel had just finished freshening up and was going downstairs when he saw Cecilia rushing toward him. He thought something important had happened.

"What's wrong?" he asked gently.

"Did something happen to Jessica? I just saw the news. The woman who died looked a lot like her." Cecilia wasn't particularly concerned about Jessica. She was merely curious. She was just fine yesterday. How is she dead today? After listening intently, Nathaniel took out his phone and said, "Let me check."

"Okay."

Nathaniel called Blaine.

The person on the other end sounded surprised and asked in languid tone, "Nathaniel, haven't always disliked me? Why are you calling me so early?"

Cutting to the chase, Nathaniel asked, "Is Jessica dead?"

Upon hearing Jessica's name, Blaine let out a yawn.

"Yes. There's no point in keeping an ingrate. Don't you agree?"

Nathaniel didn't respond to him. He simply hung up the phone.

Blaine stared at the disconnected call, pinching the bridge of his nose. "How boring. I thought it was something important."

Upon learning the truth, Nathaniel shared the information with Cecilia.

"Yes. That's her."

Cecilia couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

She truly hadn't anticipated that Blaine would be as ruthless as the rumors suggested.

"I didn't lie to you, did I? One should never provoke Blaine. If you see him in the future, stay as far away as possible," Nathaniel solemnly advised. "All right. I understand."

Cecilia nodded.

She didn't mention anything about Jessica to Lucille and Charlotte, not wanting to cause alarm or fear amongst everyone.

Madeline had already left for the office early in the morning. Before Cecilia and the others had even set off for the office, she had eagerly called Cecilia.

"Earlier, an important client came He specifically asked to see you expressing his willingness to collaborate with us, to become our overseas partner."

Overseas? Cecilia initially thought it was a client who had previously purchased her music.

When she arrived at the office and was led into the reception room, her eyes involuntarily lit up.

The man, impeccably dressed in a tailored suit, was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

He turned around, revealing a devilishly charming face.

"Calvin!" Cecilia called out with a smile.

With a slight smile, Calvin said, "It's been so long since we last contacted each other. I thought you had forgotten about me."
