Chapter 290 The Crash
Due to his profession as a lawyer, Ernest was more meticulous than others.
When those few foreigners drove off, he secretly followed them.
On the other side, Nathaniel was driving with Cecilia seated in the passenger seat.
Recalling the words spoken by Cecilia during the trial, Nathaniel solemnly asked, “Do you truly wish to divorce
me?”
Even though he knew the answer, he still wanted to ask one more time.
“Yes.” Cecilia nodded, then continued, “As long as you're willing to divorce, | promise | won't ask for anything. |
just want my freedom.”
Nathaniel’s throat tensed up slightly.
Instead of pursuing the topic any further, he asked, “The things you said during the trial earlier... Were they all
truc?”
After a moment of hesitation, Cecilia said, “That's doesn’t matter anymore, does it?”
She looked at Nathaniel, then quickly added, “If you still refuse to divorce me, | really will tell the world that I've
been with someone else for a while now.”
Cecilia knew this was the worst possible approach.

Nathaniel was deeply concerned about his reputation, and he certainly wouldn't stand by and watch the
company he'd painstakingly built from scratch get affected due to such matters.
“Do you know what happens to those who threaten me?” Nathaniel asked, his tone steady and unhurried.
Cecilia's lips were tightly pursed.
He continued, “I remember a few years back, a real estate tycoon offered to exchange a piece of land for my
billion-dollar project. He threatened to cause trouble at the company if | didn’t agree. Ultimately, he was fished
out of the river by someone.”
Cecilia also recalled, there was a period after their marriage when he was frequently unhappy and prone to
outbursts.
It wasn’t until one early morning when she cacross a news article stating that someone had fallen into the
river, that Nathaniel’s mood began to lighten up.
A flash of shock swept across Cecilia's eyes.
She forced herself to remain calm as she said, “All | want is a divorce.”
“But | don’t want to,” Nathaniel stated coldly.

The two were deep in conversation, completely oblivious to the fact that around the bend, a large truck was
rapidly approaching their way.
Nathaniel was the first to spot the approaching car. Without a second to glance at Cecilia, he immediately
swerved the steering wheel.
However, it was too late.

In that fleeting moment, Cecilia felt something splashing across her face.
Everything before her eyes was awash in red.
It was blood.

The person in front of her didn’t respond.
“Nathaniel!” Cecilia cried out sharply.
Their surroundings bectranquil once again.
The two foreigners driving the truck immediately took off.
Upon closer inspection, one could identify that one of the individuals was none other than Simon, who resided

Previously, Nathaniel’s subordinate had cornered one of his henchmen in a hotel. After he managed to escape,
he was bent on seeking revenge.
He pursued Nathaniel all the way back to Clusia,
Ernest's car arrived later, only to witness the sight of Nathaniel and Cecilia's vehicle in a collision, its front
window shattered into pieces.
Nathaniel had fallen unconscious, and Cecilia had also passed out due to excessive blood loss from her leg.
He immediately called the police and an ambulance.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Cecilia had lost count of how many times she had been in the hospital. The sound of surgical instruments echoed
in her ears. She wanted to open her eyes, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't.
Her greatest fear was car accidents, because her father had met his end in one.
Why did he have to do this?
Cecilia really wanted to open her eyes to see how he was doing, but she just couldn't.
In her dazed state, she heard the murmur of doctors and nurses conversing.
“This person is the boss of Rainsworth Group. We absolutely can’t let him die here.”
