Chapter 25 The Truth

It had to be a coincidence! It had to be! If Cecilia was the one who saved me, why had she never mentioned it?

And if it was her, then everything | had done to her over the years.....

Zachary closed Cecilia's medical report and returned to his office, where he sat in silence for the entire night.

The next morning, Zachary dialed Stella's number.

“Stella, let’s meet. | have something to discuss with you.

At a private restaurant, inside a reserved room, Stella arrived looking elegantly dressed.

A waiter cover and took her coat.

Zachary’s eyes fell on her smooth, unblemished arms. There were no scars.

Four years ago, his car had been in an accident.

He was trapped inside, unconscious and covered in blood.

A young girl had risked her life to reach through the shattered car window, forcing the door ope

As she reached inside, her arm was deeply cut by the broken glass. The hospital director had said the wound

needed stitches.

So, after healing, it would be impossible for there to be no trace left.

Under Zachary’s gaze, Stella began to feel a bit uneasy.

“Zach, you said you had something to tell me. What is it?”

Zachary snapped out of his thoughts and withdrew his gaze, his tone cooling slightly.

“Cecilia is dead.”

Stella was stunned.

Immediately, she exclaimed in shock, “When did this happen? How could it be so sudden?”

Her words conveyed disbelief, but deep down, a sense of unprecedented relief welled.

Cecilia was dead!

That meant the last obstacle standing between her and Nathaniel was gone up.

“It happened today. She died from excessive blood loss. The doctors couldn't save her.”

Zachary picked up his glass of red wine, gently swirling it before downing it in one gulp.

Through the glass, he caught a fleeting glimpse of joy on Stella’s face before it quickly disappeared.

“This must be fate,” Stella sighed. “She was born into a life most people could never imagine, then used her

family’s power to force her way into a marriage with Nathaniel. Now, her death is nothing but karma.”

Karma?

For the first time, Zachary sensed something terrifying in Stella's words.

Was it wrong to be born into wealth and privilege?

Moreover, he knew Nathaniel’s marriage to Cecilia was nothing more than a business arrangement.

No one could force Nathaniel into anything.

So why, in Stella’s mind, was that a reason for her to deserve death?

Zachary remained silent, and it seemed as if the temperature in the room had dropped.

Stella realized she had misspoken

Cecilia. She was just too scheming.”

Zachary let out a quiet “Mm” and poured himself another glass of wine.

Speaking of scheming, he carefully reflected on it.

Every time, it was Stella who had told him that Cecilia was scheming!

Yet, he himself had never actually witnessed any of these schemes firsthand.

But could that really be called scheming?

For sreason, the wine in his mouth suddenly lost its taste.

After trusting Stella for four years, Zachary found it hard to believe she would lie to him.

How could someone who had risked her life to save him possibly be a bad person?
