NovelEnglishChapter 412 Invitation To The Engagement Party
At the Orion Corporation, Nicholas had just instructed someone to escort Cassandra away. His assistant, Jocelyn,
approached him with a displeased expression.
“Mr. Nicholas, are you really going to get engaged to her?” Jocelyn asked, her concern evident.
Jocelyn knew that despite Cassandra's impressive resume, her overly arrogant and opportunistic nature made
her unsuitable for Nicholas.
Nicholas took a sip of warm water, his gentle eyes revealing no hint of his true emotions. “I'm at that age now;
it’s tforto get married.”
At his age, speople already had children attending preschool.
“But getting married just for the sake of it... that’s just too-
Before she could finish, Nicholas interrupted her, “Get back to work.”

The engagement invitations were sent out swiftly, and naturally, one was also delivered to Nathaniel.
When Nathaniel received the invitation, he was in the middle of work. Mason informed him of Nicholas’s
engagement to Cassandra, and Nathaniel leaned back in his chair, falling silent.
“Should we consider declining it?” Mason suggested cautiously, sensing that Nathaniel didn’t particularly care for
his younger brother.
“No, I'll attend,” Nathaniel replied, his tone neutral.
Nathaniel still remembered the incident a few days ago when Cecilia had mistakenly called him by Nicholas*
name. He was curious to see how Cecilia would react to Nicholas’s engagement this time.
When Nathaniel returned home, he handed the invitation to Cecilia. This is an invitation for Nicholas and
Cassandra’s engagement party. He is my younger brother, after all, and I've agreed to attend.”
Cecilia hadn't expected the news, and for reasons she couldn't quite explain, it felt like a stone. had been thrown
into the depths of her heart. It wasn’t that she felt sorrow, but it was all so sudden.
“Why are you giving it to me?” she asked.
“We're married, so naturally, you should attend with me,” Nathaniel explained.
Instinctively, Cecilia was about to refuse, but before she could, Martha spoke up from the side. “As his sister-in-
law, it's customary for you to attend.”
Cecilia was slightly taken aback. Since when did Martha start siding with Nathaniel?
“All right then, should we prepare sgifts?” Cecilia asked, deciding to go along with it.
Nathaniel was surprised by how readily she agreed. When it cto buying gifts, he said, “I'll take care of it.”
“You can’t see, so how are you going to buy anything? It's better if Ceci goes with you,” Martha interjected.
Cecilia found Martha's behavior rather strange, but since the elderly woman had already spoken, she could only
nod in agreement. “All right, we’ll go buy sgifts tomorrow to bring to the engagement party.”
“Okay.” Nathaniel’s lips unconsciously curled into a small smile, and his heart swelled with gratitude toward
Martha.
He wasn’t sure why Martha had suddenly decided to help him. Just a few days ago, she had been openly
expressing her disdain for him and the doctor he had brought in.

“Martha,” Cecilia offered, “lettake you back to your room for srest. The living room is. quite drafty.”
Cecilia wanted to discreetly ask Martha what was going on. Martha allowed her to guide her back. Once they
reached the room, Cecilia immediately shut the door behind them.
“Why did you suddenly start defending Nathaniel?” Cecilia asked, her voice filled with curiosity.
Martha feigned surprise. “I wasn’t defending him, just reminding you of proper etiquette. Event though we may
not be as wealthy as the Rainsworth family, we shouldn't forget our manners.”
“Is that really all there is to it?” Cecilia asked, somewhat incredulous.
“Of course,” Martha replied, her face serious.
Cecilia decided not to press further. She took Martha's wrinkled hand in hers. “In a couple of days, I've arranged
for a foreign specialist to examine you. I've heard that anyone treated by him. can live to be a hundred years
old.”
Ever since she returned, Cecilia had been incredibly busy, juggling multiple tasks while discreetly arranging for
specialists in geriatric care to visit.
No matter what, she didn’t want to lose Martha. This time, she had finally managed to invite a renowned team of «
experts from abroad.
