Chapter 1419 Blaming It On Stella

Cassandra sneered. "How should I know? It's pathetic that you can't even keep track of your own wife and child, yet you come to me, expecting answers." Nathaniel completely lost his patience.

Upon arriving at the hospital and reviewing the surveillance footage, he saw that Cecilia had left on her own. He immediately ordered his subordinates to track down Cecilia's whereabouts after she left.

Cassandra spoke, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "I think you should stop looking for her. I'm pretty sure she has an affair. Who knows, she might have run off with some man."

Sighing, she continued, "She's so ungrateful of what she has. How can she do that when she has children?"

Cassandra continued to mutter incessantly. Nathaniel, growing more anxious by the second, stepped closer to her. His usual composure vanished as he seized Cassandra by the neck, his grip tight and unyielding.

"Your child must be over twenty weeks along now, correct? Believe me, I could end your life right here and have the doctors deliver your baby prematurely. With the Rainsworth family's resources, keeping a premature child alive would be effortless." His words were a chilling threat, his eyes unwavering.

Cassandra's eyes widened in shock as the pressure around her throat intensified. Her feet slowly lifted off the ground, and with each passing second, her breath grew more labored. This lunatic actually dares to lay his hand on me?

Cassandra raised her hand in a desperate attempt to pry Nathaniel's fingers off, but it was futile. His grip only tightened, and for the first time, she truly grasped the meaning of fear.

Her eyes widened, pleading silently as her vision began to blur. Just as darkness threatened to overtake her, Nathaniel finally released her, and she collapsed to the floor, gasping for air. She clutched her throat, coughing violently as she fought to regain control of her breath.

"Now, tell me where Cecilia and the babies are." Nathaniel's voice was cold and low, as if it had emerged from the depths of hell itself, sending a shiver down Cassandra's spine.

Cassandra knew he was ruthless, but she didn't expect him to actually dare to lay his hands on her.

Terrified, she had no choice but to relent. "I'll take you there."

She didn't even know what the place was called.

"Let's go," Nathaniel instructed his bodyguards.

The bodyguards roughly shoved Cassandra back into the car. Despite her fury, she had no choice but to direct them. At that moment, she could only pray that Stella had

already handled everything on her

After winding through several isolated roads, they finally reached an abandoned factory. Nathaniel quickly exited the car and began searching for someone. His bodyguards swiftly followed. Cassandra quickly messaged Stella: Have you dealt with Cecilia yet? Nathaniel has come looking.

Stella didn't respond to Cassandra's message, for she wasn't at the factory at all.

As expected, Nathaniel and his team found nothing. Fury roiled in Nathaniel's chest as he approached Cassandra, his voice low and dangerous. "Where are they? Didn't you say they were here?"

Cassandra was confused, too. "I don't know. I thought they were here."

Nathaniel once again gripped her neck, warning, "Stop playing games with me. If anything happens to Cecilia, I will not spare your life!"

Cassandra's heart pounded with fear as she coughed. "I swear I don't know where she is..."

It was only then that a vague realization hit her-Stella had betrayed her.

"It wasn't me who kidnapped her... It was Stella..." In order to survive, Cassandra confessed everything.

Nathaniel slightly loosened his grip on her and demanded that she explain everything.

Cassandra's voice trembled with urgency as she pointed the finger at Stella. "It's all Stella's doing. She's consumed by jealousy ever since she found out that Cecilia is Queenie's biological daughter. She told me repeatedly that she wanted to kill Cecilia. I tried to talk her out of it, but she wouldn't listen. She even said that once Cecilia gave birth, she would use the babies to threaten her. I knew about it, but I didn't do anything-honestly, I swear! If I had, how could I dare approach Cecilia? That would've been like asking for your revenge!"
