NovelEnglishChapter 453 A Confrontation In The Snow
Paula stood impatiently in the accumulating snow. When Cecilia finally arrived, Paula was initially taken aback,
her gaze quickly shifting to Elliot with evident confusion.
Who is this child?
Paula didn’t recognize Elliot, but Elliot had already done his research. With just one glance, he knew she was his
grandmother. A flash of anger swept through his eyes, and he subtly clenched. his fists.

Paula noticed the resentment in the child's eyes, which puzzled her. Why would such a young boy look at me
with such spite?
Unfazed, Paula briskly walked toward the trio. Cecilia instinctively stepped in front of Elliot, shielding him. “Elliot,
you and Mr. Rainsworth should go inside. | have sthings to take care of,” she said firmly.
Nathaniel had also heard the approaching footsteps but had no idea who it was. Elliot, understanding that it

inside.”
“Mm.” Nathaniel nodded, his expression serious.
As they entered the house, Nathaniel asked, “Who was the visitor?”
Elliot hesitated for a moment. “I don’t know her,” he replied, careful not to reveal too much.
Nathaniel furrowed his brows, sensing that something was off. He decided to call the bodyguard outside to
inquire about the visitor.
At the entrance, Paula looked at Cecilia, who was burdened with a blind husband, a child, and a sick elderly
person at home. Her eyes were filled with disdain.
“Back then, you didn’t heed my advice, and now look at the life you're living,” Paula sneered.
Cecilia didn’t want to waste ton old grudges. “Did you chere for something?” she asked, her tone cold.
Realizing that small talk would get her nowhere, Paula got straight to the point. “I’m here to warn you to stay
away from Nicholas. He's now engaged to Cassandra.”
It was the first tCecilia had seen Paula make decisions on behalf of someone else. The memory of the recent
engagement party flashed in her mind, and she becincreasingly curious whether Cassandra was truly
Cassandra’s biological mother.
“I'm married to Nathaniel, so I'm part of the Rainsworth family. How do you expectto distance myself from
the Rainsworths?” Cecilia retorted.
Paula was momentarily at a loss for words. The current Cecilia was too defiant, making her difficult to control.
Paula, accustomed to having her way, felt both annoyed and embarrassed. Without warning, she raised her
hand, ready to strike Cecilia.
But Cecilia was quicker. She caught Paula’s wrist mid-air.
“Do you still think you can hitwhenever you please? I've long since returned the life you gave me, and I'm
no longer your daughter,” Cecilia said, her voice steady as she let go of Paula’s wrist with force.
Paula, unsteady on her high heels, stumbled backward, nearly falling into the snow. Once she regained her
balance, she scoffed, “You claim you're not my daughter, but my blood still runs through your veins! As long as

Taking a deep breath, Paula cast a glance past Cecilia, toward the house behind her. “If you choose not to listen,
do you really think you, with that blind husband, a useless kid, and sick old woman, could ever hope to best
me?”
Just as Cecilia was about to respond, a deep, commanding voice cut through the tension, “Whether she can beat
you or not, you're welcto try.”
Nathaniel had unknowingly stepped outside, his icy expression sending shivers down Paula’s spine. Despite
knowing he was blind, Paula couldn't shake the fear that welled up inside her.
She forced herself to speak, “Mr. Rainsworth, | don’t mean to offend you, but could you please keep your wife in
check? It's scandalous for a brother-in-law and sister-in-law to be together
Before she could finish, Cecilia slapped Paula across the face with a resounding smack.
