Chapter 280 | Must Be Mad

After finishing her sentence, Cecilia hung up the phone. On the other side, Nathaniel was so furious that he

nearly shattered his phone in his hand. Mason stood cautiously to the side, not daring to make a sound.

Nathaniel felt as if a massive boulder was pressing down on his chest, leaving him breathless and unable to

speak. “How much tdo we have?” he finally managed to ask.

“Half a month,” Mason replied.

After accepting the divorce case, about half a month was given to prepare the necessary documents. Mason

hadn’t expected Cecilia to be so resolute. He had thought that she would eventually forgive Nathaniel and

happily becMrs. Rainsworth.

After all, the Rainsworth family was immensely wealthy and influential. For a woman like Cecilia, marrying into

the Rainsworth family-specifically to Nathaniel-was truly a case of marrying. above her station.

“Who is Cecilia's lawyer?” Nathaniel asked coldly.

“Vivian, her friend,” Mason responded.

Nathaniel’s eyes narrowed. “I recall you investigated Vivian before. Her ex-boyfriend was a lawyer too, wasn’t

he?”

Mason immediately caught on and couldn't help but chuckle. “Yes, a top-tier lawyer named Ernest. I'll arrange it

right away.”

Mason swiftly exited the office. If there was one thing Rainsworth Group excelled at, it was legal. battles. Over

the years, Rainsworth Group had been involved in numerous disputes, and Nathaniel had always been quick to

identify his opponent's vulnerabilities. But now, facing Cecilia, the situation was far more personal and delicate.

Nathaniel drove to the condominium where Vivian resided. The limited-edition luxury car parked outside quickly

drew the attention of onlookers, but Nathaniel no longer cared about the

curious stares.

He picked up his phone and called Cecilia. “Cout, let's have a chat.”

Ten minutes later, Cecilia emerged, bundled in a heavy jacket. She immediately spotted Nathaniel, standing tall

beside the car, his deep gaze fixed on her.

As she trudged through the snow, Cecilia discreetly activated the recorder pinned to her jacket. “What do you

want to talk about?” she asked.

“Get in the car,” Nathaniel ordered, opening the door for her.

Cecilia refused, taking a step back instead. “Let's talk here.”

“Get in the car!” Nathaniel’s voice rose involuntarily. Realizing his tone was too harsh, he softened it. “Aren’t you

cold?”

Reluctantly, Cecilia got into the car. Nathaniel joined her in the driver's seat and started the engine. The car

moved at a leisurely pace through the snow-covered streets, but Nathaniel remained silent.

Cecilia felt uneasy, the silence amplifying her anxiety. “Can we stop the car and talk?” she suggested.

Nathaniel didn’t respond. Instead, he pressed down on the accelerator, speeding up. The snow still piled on the

roads made this a reckless move, and Cecilia's grip on the door tightened.

“Nathaniel, stop the car!” she pleaded, her voice edged with fear.

But Nathaniel ignored her, driving even faster. The scenery outside blurred as they sped by, and Cecilia's heart

pounded in her chest. “Are you trying to get us killed? Stop the car!” she shouted, her voice shaking.

Still, Nathaniel remained relentless, pushing on without a word. Tears welled up in Cecilia's eyes, her fear turning

to anger. “Nathaniel! Stop the car! I'm scared!” she cried out, her voice breaking.

Finally, with a sudden slam on the brakes, the car screeched to a halt. Cecilia was violently thrown forward but

was saved from injury by her seatbelt. Nathaniel quickly moved to her side, pulling her tightly into his arms.

“You know fear too?” he murmured harshly. “Did | or did I not tell you that once you've had your fun, it’s tto

chome?”

Cecilia looked up at him, her eyes filled with tears. She raised her hand to hit him, but Nathaniel anticipated her

move and swiftly grabbed her wrist. “You're insane!” she spat out, her voice. trembling with anger.

Nathaniel’s grip tightened on her wrist, his expression hard. “Drop the lawsuit,” he demanded, his voice low and

dangerous.

Cecilia winced in pain but refused to back down. “I won't drop the lawsuit. Your reckless driving just proves

you're nothing but a madman,” she retorted, deliberately pushing his buttons, hoping to capture more evidence

on her recorder.

To her surprise, Nathaniel suddenly leaned in and crushed his lips against hers, kissing her deeply. His voice was

rough as he spoke between the kisses. “Yes, | must be mad. Why else would | want someone like you, who had a «

child out of wedlock while married?”
