Chapter 219 Too Late For Anything

“What do you takefor?” Nathaniel asked. Without waiting for Cecilia's response, he left the bedroom

immediately.

Cecilia's lone figure stood still, contemplating the words he had spoken. Her body wavered slightly.

As she had suspected, her thinking was indeed too naive. Even if she were to spend a month playing the role of

Nathaniel’s wife, he still wouldn't let her and Elliot go.

From the looks of it, she had no other choice but to cut ties with Nathaniel and take Elliot away.

However, she couldn't trouble Calvin anymore.

Cecilia took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, contemplating how to leave with Elliot on her own.

Bang!

Downstairs, the sound of Nathaniel slamming the door as he left could be heard.

Cecilia sat alone on a chair, deep in thought. After a long while, she realized that only if Nathaniel allowed her to

meet Elliot in private, and take Elliot out of Spring Forest Manor, could she possibly escape.

But how am | supposed to leave Tudela after taking Elliot away?

Quickly, Cecilia thought of someone. She used the phone Sven had given her and dialed at familiar number.

“Hello.” The call was promptly answered, carrying the familiar voice of a middle-aged man.

“Mr. Jenkins, it’s Ceci,” said Cecilia.

Upon hearing Cecilia's voice, Norman was taken aback. “Miss, you really are still alive!”

“Yeah.”

“Where have you been all these years?” Norman asked, filled with confusion.

“It’s a long story, Mr. Jenkins. Could you possibly doa favor?”

Norman was the lawyer whom Regas trusted the most when he was alive, and he had quite a few connections in

Tudela.

“All right; what's the matter? Go ahead and tell me.”

“I need two identities for going abroad, and this matter must be kept from everyone.”

Cecilia could have purchased it with money, but Nathaniel would be able to trace it easily if she were to buy it

herself.

Without any hesitation, Norman agreed.

“When might you need it?”

“The sooner, the better.””

“Understood.”

Obtaining a fake identity would take at least a week or so.

During that period, she had to devise a plan to get Elliot out.

After hanging up the phone, Cecilia immediately erased the call history. She sat in her chair, feeling her heart

racing.

She knew better than anyone what the consequences of offending Nathaniel would be.

The Smith family had deceived in marriage. Throughout the three years of matrimony, Nathaniel had persistently

targeted the Smith family. He seized Smith Corporation’s projects in the business world, and when Smith

Corporation was at its most vulnerable, he acquired the company at the lowest price.

If she were to escape, she had to ensure it was far enough that Nathaniel wouldn't be able to find. her. If he did

manage to locate her, there was no telling what measures he might resort to deal with her.

Nathaniel did not leave Daltonia Villa.

In the basement of Daltonia Villa, Lily was kneeling on the icy, damp floor. Her face was streaked with tears and

her eyes were filled with panic. Gone was the smug arrogance she used to display when facing Cecilia.

“I'm sorry, Mr. Rainsworth. My actions were all because | was too jealous of Cecilia. We grew up together since

childhood, I don’t think she’s good enough for you,” she admitted.

Nathaniel sat at the head of the table, his voice dripping with sarcasm as he asked, “Who would be worthy of

me, then?”

Lily choked up.

“Is it you?” Nathaniel pressed on.

Lily’s checks flushed with embarrassment as she slowly shook her head, before proceeding to explain.

“I assumed you were indifferent toward her as you were in the past, and that’s why | acted as | did.

Nathaniel’s gaze turned slightly gloomy.

What does that mean? What did she mean by thinking that | didn’t like her like in the past?

Seeing him remain silent, Lily was so frightened that she repeatedly bowed her head in fear.

“I'm sorry, Mr. Rainsworth! | really am!”

If she had known that Nathaniel had set his sights on Cecilia, she wouldn't have dared bully Cecilia even if she

had a hundred times the courage.

Now, it was too late for anything. &
