chapter2127

The day after tomorrow arrived in the blink of an eye.

Cecilia and Nathaniel attended Magnus' wedding as promised.

Cecilia originally thought there wouldn't be many people in the hotel, but as soon as they arrived at the entrance, they saw many wealthy businessmen had also come.

Puzzled, she asked, "Why are there so many people here? Is someone else having a wedding?"

The moment she and Nathaniel got out of the car, Philip came straight to greet them.

"Ms. Smith, Mr. Rainsworth, you really came!" Philip exclaimed.

"What do you mean?" Cecilia frowned.

"Oh, Mr. Smith said that both you and Mr. Rainsworth would attend his wedding, so I specially waited at the door to welcome you." Philip extended his hand, adding, "Please come in, both of you. Let me know if anything is not up to par." After hearing what Philip said, Cecilia understood everything.

It turned out that Magnus was using her and Nathaniel as tools to network with wealthy figures.

"So that's why he asked you to come along; he's got a big reputation now," Cecilia said.

Nathaniel held her hand. "Shall we go back?"

Cecilia was considering going back to teach Magnus a lesson when two familiar figures appeared in the distance.

"Cecilia?" The person who spoke was Eloise, and standing with her was Heather.

At the sight of Cecilia, Heather recalled the times Cecilia had caused her trouble and couldn't help but frown. "Why is she here, too?"

Eloise dared not speak ill of Cecilia in front of her and Nathaniel, so she said, "Magnus must have invited her. After all, she is the adopted daughter of the Smith family, and she's Magnus' older sister. It would look bad if she didn't attend Magnus' wedding."

"At least she has some conscience," Heather remarked.

Their voices were not soft, perhaps because they still thought Cecilia's hearing

was poor and thus she wouldn't be able to hear them.

Cecilia stood beside Nathaniel. "We're not going back."

If she turned around and left now, she would surely be gossiped about.

Eloise walked toward them while supporting Heather. "Hi, Ceci."

Cecilia nodded as an acknowledgment.

Heather was

little angry at her

response. "Cecilia, why are you being so arrogant for? Eloise is your cousin and am your grandmother. You should be greeting us first."

At that, a mocking smile played about Cecilia's lips. "I've said before that I have no blood relation to the Escobar family. Please stop claiming to be old Mrs. Escobar."

My grandmother,

"Y-You brat!" Heather was furious. "Are you asking for a beating?"

As she was so used to being overbearing, she forgot to hide her true colors.

Nathaniel stepped forward. "Ceci chooses not to argue with you because you're older. But if you continue to act unreasonably, I won't hold back."

His voice was firm and powerful. When Heather saw his cold and authoritative face, she was instantly silenced.

Eloise, standing beside her, was secretly observing Nathaniel.

She felt a touch of jealousy in her heart. Cecilia's so lucky to marry such a handsome and outstanding man.

"Mr. Rainsworth, Ceci, please don't be angry. My grandmother is getting on in years, so stie has no filter But she won't dare to do anything Eloise explained.

Heather glared at Eloise, but she couldn't refute her.

She had calmed down after Nathaniel spoke and knew that she could not afford to

offend Nathaniel and Cecilia.

"Don't blame me for speaking harshly; I am your elder after all," Heather said shamelessly.

Cecilia didn't want to entertain her any further.

At that moment, Magnus walked out of the hotel with Denise, who was wearing a reception outfit.

"Cecilia, Nathaniel, I'm glad you made it," Magnus greeted.
