When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 629 The Situation Is Resolved

Bowing their heads, they said to Jonathan, “We’re sorry.”

Cecilia lamented the situation. If I wasn’t wealthy and if Zachary didn’t come, would they have apologized? No. They would continue to take advantage of their wealth and bully us.

Even without investigating, she knew for sure these people had committed numerous wrongdoings.

Having them apologize was going too easy on them.

However, since the kids were around, Cecilia didn’t make any other demands. The matter was resolved just like that.

Oscar and his wife breathed a sigh of relief. If Zachary decided to pursue the matter, they would have been in real trouble.

Camila, too, was fearful.

But they had let their guard down too soon. After Oscar left the office, he received another call from his secretary. Answering the phone, he snapped impatiently, “What now? Why do you keep calling? I swear I’ll fire you and you won’t find another job anywhere in Tudela.”

The secretary cautiously replied, “Mr. Peterson, you just went to Mr. Caelum’s school, didn’t you?”

“How did you know?” Oscar asked, puzzled.

“The incident of you and your wife insulting a child and even threatening to hit the child and his mother was all broadcasted live. Now, our stocks have plummeted…” the secretary revealed.

Oscar’s mind went blank as his secretary continued, “The directors have all arrived at the company now. They’re asking for you to return immediately. They intend to oust you from your position.”

At that moment, Oscar’s blood ran cold.

Similarly, what Camila did was also broadcast live.

She soon received a call from Conrad’s father, Zeke Turner. “Zeke, guess what? Today–”

Before she could act coy and complain to him, the man’s cold voice cut her off, “I’ll send someone to pick Conrad up. From now on, my wife will be taking care of him. Don’t contact me anymore.”

Camila’s beautiful face contorted in fear and confusion. “Why? What did I do wrong?”

“Check out the news yourself,” Zeke replied.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Camila scrolled through the news, bombarded by waves of criticism for her harsh remarks toward Jonathan and her brazen claim that Conrad was superior to ninety–nine percent of other children. But her disparaging comments were nothing compared to the cruel insults she had hurled at Zeke’s wife in the past.

“You took my side back when I dealt with your wife online. Why are you asking me to leave now? Don’t you love me anymore?” she asked.

Zeke snarled, “Do you think I’m scared because you’re trending? You’ve crossed the wrong person. Do you think Zachary will let you off the hook? You’d better watch out.” With that, he hung up the phone.

“Zeke, how could you treat me like this-” Camila tried calling Zeke again, but her calls would no longer get through.

Devastated, she sobbed inconsolably. Her good days had come to an abrupt end.

Unbeknownst to Cecilia, what she did that day inadvertently helped another woman.

The teacher who had always been biased was dismissed on the spot.

The children were given a half–day off that afternoon. Cecilia, Zachary, and Jonathan were personally escorted out of the school by the headmaster. As they stepped outside, Cecilia spotted Nathaniel seated inside a sleek, extended luxury car, waiting for them.

Zachary said to Cecilia, “Cecilia, I’ll take Jonathan home first. If you need anything in the future, feel free to call me.”

Although Cecilia still harbored a strong dislike for Zachary, she couldn’t ignore the fact that he had stepped in to help both her and Jonathan that day.

“Thanks for today,” she said.

Remembering something, she handed her bag over to Zachary.

Zachary asked, puzzled, “What is this?”

“Vivian likes this. Please give it to her on my behalf.”

Cecilia had planned to deliver it to Vivian after taking care of Jonathan’s matter. However, since Zachary and Jonathan were heading to Sinclair Manor, she figured she might as well let Zachary take care of it for her.

Zachary nodded in understanding. “All right.”

Holding the bag and leading Jonathan to his car, he mumbled to himself, “Vivian likes this kind of stuff? How shallow.”

Jonathan ignored him. Remembering the live streaming, he checked his wristwatch and was stunned.
