Chapter 122 Drop The Lawsuit

“You can head back now. I'll be attending the company’s anniversary celebration tonight,” Nathaniel spoke

impatiently.

“All right.” After leaving breakfast behind, Stella cast a smug glance at Cecilia before departing.

When Nathaniel turned around, sure enough, Cecilia was standing right behind him. For sreason, he felt a

twinge of guilt. “When did you wake up?”

Cecilia's expression was calm. “When Stella proposed to you. Congratulations to both of you.”

Nathaniel’s heart tightened. The room felt like it froze for a few seconds. He looked at her intently with his dark

eyes. “If you have any objections, say them now.”

All she had to do was tell him not to marry Stella, and he would agree. But Cecilia just shook her head and

repeated, “Congratulations to both of you. I'll cooperate on the divorce proceedings. But on one condition-you

give Elliot back to me.”

Nathaniel’s heart sank. He realized that Cecilia didn’t care about him anymore. She wasn’t bothered about him

being with someone else or even marrying another woman.

Nathaniel felt deeply irritated, though he couldn't quite understand why. He coughed heavily and. tossed the

breakfast Stella had brought him straight into the trash.

“Order whatever you want to eat,” he said. After that, he walked past Cecilia and headed to the study.

Cecilia realized how naive he was. Did he really think I'd eat what Stella sent over?

After fixing herself sbreakfast in the kitchen, she finished eating and sent a quick text to Nathaniel before

heading out the door: I'm heading to the office.

Nathaniel had been waiting in his study, hoping Cecilia would say something tender, but all he got was a short

message from her. After reading it, his face was as dark as a storm cloud.

When he walked downstairs, he noticed Cecilia had already left early. He went into the kitchen, but it was empty-

she hadn't made breakfast for him. Nathaniel felt a deep ache in his stomach and an even worse one in his head.

He asked the driver to bring sbreakfast over.

At the office, Cecilia turned on her phone and saw that she'd missed a call from a strange number on her

overseas card last night.

The call had cfrom Tudela. She didn’t call back. Instead, she asked someone to look up the owner of the

phone number. It didn’t take long to find out it was Stella.

The previous day, the news about Stella’s plagiarism scandal was still blowing up online, so it made sense that

she'd be trying to reach Cecilia now.

Sure enough, the phone rang before long. Cecilia used a foreign IP address and even altered her voice before

answering.

“Hello.”

“Is this Ms. Cecille? I'm Stella. | want to talk to you about the song, Ray of Light in the Dark. This was a mistake

by one of my employees, who unknowingly included your work. Can we discuss how to resolve this so you might

consider dropping the lawsuit?” Stella's tone was exceptionally polite. If she knew Cecille was actually Cecilia,

she might not be so pleasant.

“You wantto drop the lawsuit? It’s simple,” Cecilia replied calmly. “First, apologize to my lawyer. Then,

publicly admit to the plagiarism.”

“I can apologize, but | can’t admit to plagiarism. How much money do you want? I'll pay whatever it takes,

okay?” Stella knew that admitting to plagiarism would be the end of her career in the singing industry, and

possibl

in entertainment altogether.

-Then get ready for an international lawsuit,” Cecilia said, ending the call. She knew the kind of person Stella

was, so there was no point in dragging out the conversation.

Stella, furious, threw her phone aside.
