Chapter 531 Female Companion

If Nathaniel wanted to rebuild his business empire, it was impossible to avoid interacting with other

businessmen.

These business parties weren't just about drinking.

“Got it, I'll send more people to accompany you,” Mason said.

The older generation of the Murdock family had once tried to harm Nathaniel, but at that time, they had

mistaken Nicholas for him.

Nicholas was severely injured, and with his already poor health, he had to be sent abroad for treatment.

Later, Nathaniel gradually expanded Rainsworth Group, eliminating the older members of the Murdock family

one by one. Now, only a few incompetent ones remained.

Ethan had once knelt before Nathaniel to save his own life.

Nathaniel hadn't wiped them out completely, not out of mercy, but because he didn’t want to create panic

among the other wealthy families in Tudela and cause them to team up.

After all, as the saying goes, “Even a rabbit would bite when cornered.”

“Mm,” Nathaniel agreed.

Mason thought of something and asked, “Everyone’s bringing a female companion. Do you want to bring Mrs.

Rainsworth?”

He remembered that Cecilia had once been upset because Nathaniel didn’t want to take her to public events.

This could be a good opportunity to make up for that.

However, Nathaniel fell silent at Mason’s suggestion.

After a moment, he shook his head. “No need.”

Mason was confused. “Why not? This could be a chance to strengthen your relationship with Mrs. Rainsworth.”

Nathaniel asked, “If | show up at a party in my current condition, how would those in high society see me?”

Mason was stunned, only then remembering that Nathaniel was now blind.

“They would certainly gossip,” Mason admitted.

“And if | take Ceci with me, she’ll also have to endure those judgmental looks,” Nathaniel added.

Mason had once thought it remarkable how calm and composed his boss remained despite losing his sight. He

had believed Nathaniel didn’t care about his blindness.

But now, Mason realized that Nathaniel did care.

He just regained his composure quicker than others, knowing that even without his sight, life had to go on.

“You're right. | didn’t think it through.”

No man wanted the woman he loved to suffer alongside him or be subjected to public criticism.

As Mason lifted his head, he noticed Cecilia coming down the stairs.

She had heard everything Nathaniel said.

Cecilia stood still, unmoving as he pondered over Nathaniel’s words. Her throat felt stuck.

She politely went upstairs, preserving Nathaniel’s dignity.

That night, Nathaniel prepared to leave for the party.

Elliot found out and wanted to tag along. He was bored from staying hevery day.

“Mommy, can we go too?”

“No, Mr. Rainsworth is going for business. We shouldn't bother him, okay?”

Elliot tried to be persuasive, but even his best attempts at being charming didn’t work today.

Mason silently observed the situation and glanced gratefully at Cecilia.

Before leaving, he whispered to Cecilia, “Mrs. Rainsworth, | can tell that you still care about Mr. Rainsworth, don’t

you?”

“I just don’t like attending parties,” Cecilia replied coolly.

Mason realized that both Cecilia and Nathaniel were stubborn people.

“If you and Mr. Elliot go to pick up Mr. Rainsworth tonight, I'm sure he’ll be delighted. The party ends at ten.”

Cecilia didn’t respond, watching Mason leave.

After he left, she saw the sulky look on Elliot's face and remembered what Nathaniel had said earlier. She

couldn't help but ask, “Eli, how about we go out to pick up Mr. Rainsworth around nine tonight?”

Elliot's eyes immediately brightened. He had been longing to go out.

“Okay.” &
