Chapter 464: He Has Gone to Sparaville

As Nicholas finished speaking, the door burst open, revealing Nathaniel.

“Hide what?” Nathaniel asked, having rushed back upon hearing Nicholas had arrived.

Nicholas turned, a hint of coldness in his eyes. “Nathaniel, you’re back. I was just about to ask Cecilia how you manage to work while blind.”

Nathaniel’s brow furrowed. “If you wish to discuss something, let’s go outside.”

Nicholas rose, glancing at Cecilia before following Nathaniel. Outside, snow fell in a flurry. The two strikingly similar men stood together, their presence commanding attention.

“What are you trying to do?” Nathaniel asked.

With Cecilia absent, Nicholas dropped his pretense. “Haven’t I said it before? I intend to reclaim what’s mine. Since childhood, you’ve always had the best. Now you want Cecilia? Is that fair?”

Nathaniel chuckled scornfully. “Don’t blame others for your mistakes. Have you considered your own actions?” He alluded to Nicholas using Nathaniel’s name without permission.

Nicholas retorted, “Well, you’re blind now. You only have yourself to blame.”

Tension crackled between them. Then, Nicholas’s phone rang. It was Cassandra.

He answered, “What’s up?”

“Nicholas, where are you? I came to the office, but you weren’t there.”

Cassandra sat on his office couch, a stark contrast to her usual haughty self. She was bundled up, her gaze timid.

Jocelyn, his assistant, was perplexed by this sudden change.

“What is it?” Nicholas asked, instead of answering her.

Cassandra stammered, unable to find the words. Fear of rejection had driven her to come.

“Don’t call unless it’s important,” he said, hanging up and instructing the driver to leave. His goal for the day was already accomplished; he knew Nathaniel was feigning poverty.

Back at Orion Corporation, Cassandra glared at the disconnected call, her face flushed with anger.

“Where on earth did Nicholas go?” she demanded of Jocelyn.

“I don’t know,” Jocelyn replied impartially. Since her return, Nicholas had been secretive.

“I’m his fiancée! Do you think I can’t get you fired?”

Jocelyn remained silent. Cassandra threw her bag at Jocelyn and stormed out.

Someone blocked her path.

“Cassandra,” Magnus said, a mischievous glint in his eyes. “I know where Mr. Rainsworth has gone.”

“Where?”

“Sparaville, where Cecilia used to live.” Magnus kept tabs on Nicholas and his associates.

“That wretch! She denied trying to seduce Nicholas!” Cassandra’s hands clenched. Magnus enjoyed watching them fight. He felt Cecilia deserved it for not listening to him.

Cassandra handed Magnus a card. “Your reward. Keep a close eye on Nicholas and that… woman.”

“Of course, Cassandra.”

“Work hard, and I’ll convince Dad to help you start a company,” she promised. This had been Magnus's leverage for five years.
