After finishing her sentence, Cecilia hung up the phone. On the other side, Nathaniel was so furious that he
nearly shattered his phone in his hand. Mason stood cautiously to the side, not daring to make a sound.
Nathaniel felt as if a massive boulder was pressing down on his chest, leaving him breathless and unable to
speak. “How much tdo we have?” he finally managed to ask.
“Half a month,” Mason replied.
After accepting the divorce case, about half a month was given to prepare the necessary documents. Mason
hadn’t expected Cecilia to be so resolute. He had thought that she would eventually forgive Nathaniel and
happily becMrs. Rainsworth.
After all, the Rainsworth family was immensely wealthy and influential. For a woman like Cecilia, marrying into

“Vivian, her friend,” Mason responded.

Nathaniel’s eyes narrowed. “I recall you investigated Vivian before. Her ex-boyfriend was a lawyer too, wasn’t
he?”
Mason immediately caught on and couldn't help but chuckle. “Yes, a top-tier lawyer named Ernest. I'll arrange it
right away.”
Mason swiftly exited the office. If there was one thing Rainsworth Group excelled at, it was legal. battles. Over
the years, Rainsworth Group had been involved in numerous disputes, and Nathaniel had always been quick to
identify his opponent's vulnerabilities. But now, facing Cecilia, the situation was far more personal and delicate.
Nathaniel drove to the condominium where Vivian resided. The limited-edition luxury car parked outside quickly
drew the attention of onlookers, but Nathaniel no longer cared about the
curious stares.
He picked up his phone and called Cecilia. “Cout, let's have a chat.”
Ten minutes later, Cecilia emerged, bundled in a heavy jacket. She immediately spotted Nathaniel, standing tall
beside the car, his deep gaze fixed on her.
As she trudged through the snow, Cecilia discreetly activated the recorder pinned to her jacket. “What do you
want to talk about?” she asked.
“Get in the car,” Nathaniel ordered, opening the door for her.
Cecilia refused, taking a step back instead. “Let's talk here.”
“Get in the car!” Nathaniel’s voice rose involuntarily. Realizing his tone was too harsh, he softened it. “Aren’t you
cold?”
Reluctantly, Cecilia got into the car. Nathaniel joined her in the driver's seat and started the engine. The car
moved at a leisurely pace through the snow-covered streets, but Nathaniel remained silent.
Cecilia felt uneasy, the silence amplifying her anxiety. “Can we stop the car and talk?” she suggested.
Nathaniel didn’t respond. Instead, he pressed down on the accelerator, speeding up. The snow still piled on the
roads made this a reckless move, and Cecilia's grip on the door tightened.
“Nathaniel, stop the car!” she pleaded, her voice edged with fear.
But Nathaniel ignored her, driving even faster. The scenery outside blurred as they sped by, and Cecilia's heart
pounded in her chest. “Are you trying to get us killed? Stop the car!” she shouted, her voice shaking.

Still, Nathaniel remained relentless, pushing on without a word. Tears welled up in Cecilia's eyes, her fear turning
to anger. “Nathaniel! Stop the car! I'm scared!” she cried out, her voice breaking.
Finally, with a sudden slam on the brakes, the car screeched to a halt. Cecilia was violently thrown forward but
was saved from injury by her seatbelt. Nathaniel quickly moved to her side, pulling her tightly into his arms.
“You know fear too?” he murmured harshly. “Did | or did I not tell you that once you've had your fun, it’s tto
chome?”
Cecilia looked up at him, her eyes filled with tears. She raised her hand to hit him, but Nathaniel anticipated her
move and swiftly grabbed her wrist. “You're insane!” she spat out, her voice. trembling with anger.
Nathaniel’s grip tightened on her wrist, his expression hard. “Drop the lawsuit,” he demanded, his voice low and
dangerous.
Cecilia winced in pain but refused to back down. “I won't drop the lawsuit. Your reckless driving just proves
you're nothing but a madman,” she retorted, deliberately pushing his buttons, hoping to capture more evidence
on her recorder.
To her surprise, Nathaniel suddenly leaned in and crushed his lips against hers, kissing her deeply. His voice was
rough as he spoke between the kisses. “Yes, | must be mad. Why else would | want someone like you, who had a «
child out of wedlock while married?”
