NovelEnglishChapter 716 Covered In Injuries.
After a long pause. Cecilia finally said. “Well, you were the one at fault from the start. You were the one who hurt
someone first.”
Nathaniel was nearly driven to his wit’s end by her. Even a dog knows to stand by its master regardless of right
or wrong, yet she, my wife, is taking the side of outsiders.
Nathaniel fell silent, a sense of urgency emanating from Mason outside. Calvin's subordinates had mentioned
they would enter at any moment, and when that happened, the situation would bechard to control.
The other end of the phone was as silent as death. Cecilia thought he had hung up in anger. She Only realized
the call was still on when she looked at her phone again.
Nathaniel, are you still there?” she asked.
“I'm still alive.”
“Could you possibly let Yannick go?” Cecilia asked, her voice filled with unease.
Nathaniel was not angry. Instead, he questioned her, “Why? Didn't you hear what he just said? As long as he’s
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtalive, he will be after my life. Do you wishdead so that you can easily find someone else?”
Cecilia couldn’t be bothered to entertain his nonsense and explained, “You've captured Yannick now, and we
don’t even know if he'll survive. Of course, he has to say all the harsh words he intends to. Otherwise, wouldn't
his death be pathetic?”
As she spoke, she was simultaneously researching Yannick, only to discover that Yannick was indeed the most
valued descendant of the Hayes family.
“Besides, it’s better to resolve conflicts than create them, isn’t it? Didn't you just start a new company? The
Hayes family is highly influential inland. If you were to harm their prized heir, what would you do if they decided
to retaliate against you?” Cecilia added.
In fact, Mason had also said those words to Nathaniel.
Mason said it wasn’t the right tto cause someone’s death.
Nathaniel didn’t listen to Mason. Instead, he asked Mason to bring Calvin over, aiming to take them both down,
eradicating the source of trouble,
At that moment, however, upon hearing Cecilia's words, the usually ruthless and defiant Nathaniel truly took
them to heart.
“Is that all?
Cecilia knew that, for the most part, Nathaniel was amenable to coaxing but not coercion. Guided by the
principle of not escalating the situation, she softened her tone in her speech when she said, “Also, I'm worried
something might happen to you. Can we stop making enemies, please? If you won't think about yourself, at least
considerand the children, don’t you think? This time. you've endangered Yannick’s life. Next time, it could be
anything happens to our children.......
Cecilia feigned sobbing.
Nathaniel’s heart instantly softened. “Don’t talk nonsense. Nothing will happen to you guys.”
The knocking from outside the door echoed again.
Nathaniel comforted Cecilia. “Don’t worry. I'm here. I'll take care of things here. It's getting late. and considering
your pregnancy, you should get srest.”
Once he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Cecilia hadn't expected things to go so smoothly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHad she known that, she would have put on an act from the start of the call.
She had handled Nathaniel, but there was still the matter with Calvin.
She meant it when she told Nathaniel to stop making enemies.
She then tried calling Calvin, but there was no answer on the other end.
Instead, she received a text from Calvin that read: Ceci, you should rest well now that you're pregnant. | will take
care of everything here. There’s no need for you to worry.
Cecilia was worried when she saw the text. She stepped out of the room, only to be stopped by a bodyguard.
“Ms. Smith, Mr. Reese has instructed us to take good care of you. He doesn’t want you to go anywhere today. Just
wait for his return.”
Cecilia could only return to her room, sending a message to Calvin that read: Calvin, Nathaniel has already
agreed to let Yannick go. You've had your revenge. Can we just turn the page on the past?
After a while, Calvin replied: Okay.
After a sleepless night, Cecilia was propped up on the couch, too afraid to close her eyes for fear that something
unexpected might happen.

Finally, at six in the morning, Calvin returned. Accompanying him was Yannick, who was covered in injuries.
