When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1725 Final Affairs

Cassandra could only wait. "All right. When you're free, remember to give me a call."

"Mm-hmm." Miranda nodded, ending the call.

She returned to her seat, settling down next to her husband, Adrian. She noticed that Adrian's gaze would occasionally drift toward Cecilia.

Even though Miranda no longer harbored romantic feelings for Adrian, she couldn't help but feel anger toward him. She jabbed him harshly with her hand.

"Adrian, what are you doing?"

Adrian immediately averted his gaze, clearing his throat awkwardly.

Miranda moved closer to him, lowering her voice. "Adrian, you better not have forgotten what I asked you to do last time. Did you take care of it?"

She threatened Adrian, demanding the elimination of Cecilia's child.

However, at the moment, all three of Cecilia's children were still happily playing and frolicking around.

Looking at these children, Miranda felt a headache coming on.

Adrian's expression was somewhat unnatural. "I know. Can't I take my time to plan? Do you want me to get into trouble?"

"Hurry up. Cecilia is now the heiress of the Jamieson family. If you keep delaying, our family will be left with nothing."

Given the size of the table, everyone was seated quite far apart. The whispered conversation between the two wasn't overheard by anyone else.

At that moment, Niel also emerged, leaning on his walking stick.

Recently, his health had been deteriorating. Even though Robert had been tirelessly searching for all sorts of miraculous cures for him, it couldn't alter the inevitable fate of his impending old age.

"Grandpa..." everyone called out.

With a smile, Niel gestured for everyone to take their seats and start eating.

He also thoughtfully asked Cecilia, "Cecilia, I'm not sure what your favorite foods are. If what's served doesn't suit your taste, let the chef know, and he'll prepare something you like. Don't hesitate to tell me."

Niel spoke with a gentle expression on his face.noveldrama

Shaking her head, Cecilia responded, "It's fine, Grandpa. Thank you. I'm not picky with food."

"It's good not to be picky. Eat more," said Niel, his face brimming with smiles. During mealtime, he was constantly attentive toward Cecilia, while his daughter- in-law, Miranda, was completely ignored. The difference was stark.

Miranda watched, her heart filled with immense jealousy.

She knew the star of today's show was Cecilia, not herself.

"Ceci, congratulations. If there's any help needed at home in the future, I hope

you can lend a hand," Miranda couldn't help but say.

The expression on Niel's face turned unsightly in an instant.

Why would she ask for Cecilia's help?

Although he thought it was quite impressive that Cecilia became the heiress to Jamieson Group, he didn't believe the Rainsworth family would fall so low that they needed help from the Sinclair family.

"Miranda, what are you saying?" From the side, Robert scolded, noticing his father's intentions.

Miranda immediately shut her mouth.

Robert then turned his gaze back to Niel. "Dad, you didn't call us all here just to have this reunion dinner, did you?"

Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, Niel decided not to hold back any longer.

"Robert, you know as well as I do that my health is deteriorating day by day. There are some matters that I should address now."

As soon as these words were

spoken, Etena, who was amusing her grandson on the side, also. ceased what she was doing. She became serious, pricking up her ears

to listen to Niel's words.

Miranda was also incredibly nervous, so much so that she even nudged her son, Felix, forward a bit.

Felix immediately understood and quickly said, "Grandpa, I'm sure you will live a long and prosperous life."

"Hahaha..." Niel was amused by him. "Felix is such a good boy."

Elliot, who was standing on one side, understood the gravity of the situation. Wasn't this the moment Niel was preparing to discuss his final affairs, instructing the younger generation on how to handle his assets?
