When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 215 I Will Leave

Lily’s mocking tone snapped Cecilia back to reality. Her gaze drifted toward Lily.

Lily was dressed in a classic business suit, cleverly revealing a hint of her cleavage. Her oval face was framed by slightly furrowed brows, and her gaze was filled with unmistakable jealousy.

In the past, Cecilia had seen her a few times.

Despite being a butler’s daughter, she carried herself as if she were the prominent young lady of the Rainsworth family.

Upon noticing Cecilia’s lack of response, Lily assumed she wasn’t wearing her hearing aid. She nudged the pile of dirty clothes on the floor aside with her foot while continuing to hurl insults at Cecilia. “How shameless. She’s just a cripple, yet she’s resorting to these seductive tactics. She used to feign innocence, but what on earth is she wearing now?”

Lily gazed at the luxurious, high–end clothes scattered on the floor. With Cecilia watching, she fiercely stomped on them.

She was confident that Cecilia wouldn’t dare to retaliate.

That was because things had always been like that. Once she dismissed everyone else, she could bully Cecilia.

She had no idea Cecilia was no longer the same as before, willing to endure anything for Nathaniel.

Cecilia draped a coat over her shoulders and got out of bed, gradually making her way toward Lily.

Lily looked up at Cecilia, noticing the hearing aid in the latter’s ear, and couldn’t help but scoff. “Ah, so you can hear? I thought you were completely deaf.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Cecilia raised her hand and delivered a loud slap across Lily’s face.

Lily was instantly taken aback, feeling a burning and throbbing sensation in her cheeks. “How dare you hit me?”

Cecilia’s hand ached a little from the exertion. “That’s right. I hit you. What are you going to do about it?”

Enraged, Lily was about to strike back. With her quick reflexes, Cecilia caught Lily’s wrist and harshly slapped Lily’s cheek once again.

Lily had never anticipated that Cecilia, once a pushover who was bullied by everyone, would transform into such a formidable figure.

She was wearing high heels when she got hit for the second time, causing her to stumble and fall to the ground.

She gritted her teeth as she stood up. “Cecilia, get out. You’re not welcome here.”

Cecilia burst into laughter. “You’re just the Rainsworth family’s housekeeper, yet you consider yourself the lady of the house?”

Lily was seething, her eyes rimmed with red. “Even as a mere housekeeper, I managed to drive. you away once. You haven’t forgotten what happened on New Year’s Eve that year, have you?”

Liam had been working for the Rainsworth family for decades, and Lily had grown up in Rainsworth Manor since childhood. Hence, Niel was very fond of her.

All she had to do was shed a few tears in front of Niel, and she would get to determine whether Cecilia could stay.

Of course, Cecilia hadn’t forgotten.

A year after their marriage, she was driven out of Rainsworth Manor by Lily’s mere few tears on New Year’s Eve. She stood in the snow alone and nearly froze to death.

To Niel, Cecilia, who lacked a distinguished background and support from her maternal family and was disabled, could not compare to Lily, who had grown up under his watch.

“You don’t need to cry in front of Old Mr. Rainsworth. I’m leaving right now.” After calmly finishing her words, Cecilia changed into a clean set of clothes and left right before Lily’s eyes.

She held her back straight as she walked out of the room, not showing a hint of hesitation or reluctance.

Lily watched Cecilia’s retreating figure, the surprise in her eyes lingering for a long while.

She hadn’t anticipated that Cecilia would actually leave after the brief exchange of words.

Assuming that Cecilia might’ve yielded to her, Lily felt her anger subsided.

Following Cecilia’s departure, Lily had someone throw Cecilia’s clothes into the trash bin.

Rainsworth Manor was both grand and spacious..

Cecilia chose to take the less crowded path. Upon reaching the main gate, she took out her phone. and dialed Sven’s number.

The call connected quickly on the other end. “Ms. Smith, I’m near Rainsworth Manor.”

Ever since the incident where Sean almost killed Cecilia, Sven immediately returned to look after her.

“Okay. I’ll need to trouble you to chauffer me.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
