Chapter 1411 We Have Been Reported
Magnus' face lit up with a flattering smile. "Nicholas, you're being too formal. Don't worry-I'll definitely help you with everything I've got." The car began to move, and Magnus was already indulging in grand daydreams of becoming a person of importance in Tudela.
Outside the hospital, another car was parked nearby. Inside it sat Cassandra and Stella, each lost in their own thoughts.
"I heard she gave birth to two more sons," Cassandra muttered, her tone tinged with bitterness. A flicker of jealousy crossed her face. Nathaniel now had four sons, each of whom would one day become a rival to her child, all vying for a share of the family's wealth and influence. Stella's expression darkened at Cassandra's words. "Ms. Evans, according to our plan, her joyous occasion will soon turn into a mournful one." Cassandra nodded in agreement. Without delay, she made sure to pass the news along to Miranda.
Lately, Miranda had been spending much of her time at Orion Corporation with her father-in-law, Robert, plotting to wrest power from Nicholas. When the news reached her, disbelief flashed in her eyes. She immediately called Cassandra. "Is it true?"
Cassandra sighed, her tone exasperated. "Do I need to lie to you about this? A little digging would confirm it easily. Cecilia's two sons are already impressive, and now she has two more. Do you realize how much more pressure this puts on your Felix-and my future baby?"
Miranda glanced at Felix, who was absorbed in his video game, her irritation rising. "Aren't you supposed to be doing your homework?" she snapped.
Felix barely looked up, his focus still on the screen. "Mommy, we don't have homework in kindergarten," he grumbled, his tone matter-of-fact.
Seeing Felix's nonchalant attitude, Miranda was unsure how to handle him.
She knew full well that Cassandra was intentionally trying to bait her into causing trouble, but she kept her composure. "In today's world, competition is inevitable," she said calmly. "Now that Cecilia has given birth, I suppose I should pay her a visit. Thanks for the reminder."
With that, Miranda ended the call decisively.
Miranda wasn't the only one to hear the news. Elena had also been informed about Cecilia's delivery, and she couldn't contain her excitement. Without hesitation, she rushed to the hospital.
When Elena laid eyes on the two adorable newborn boys, she was over the moon with happiness.
"Jon and Eli didn't grow up by my side," Elena said, her tone tinged with regret. "You must let me spend some time with these two little ones."
Cecilia offered a gentle smile. "All right," she replied softly.
Since Cecilia agreed, Nathaniel chose not to object, staying quiet on the matter.
"Mom, it's getting late. You should head back and rest." Truthfully, Cecilia herself found it hard to rest properly with Elena around.
"Okay," Elena agreed right away.
Barely moments after her departure, Miranda entered the room, a fruit basket in hand and a polished smile on her face. "Ceci, Nathaniel, congratulations," she said warmly. Miranda hadn't come solely to offer her congratulations. She was here to confirm whether Cassandra's claims were true.
Cecilia didn't have much fondness
for Miranda, but she saw no reason to reject a seemingly friendly gesture Offering a polite smile, she exchanged a few pleasantries before allowing the visit to end.

Once Miranda finally left, Cecilia felt a wave of relief wash over her. At last, she could relax and get some much-needed rest.
That night, Cecilia was tormented by a series of nightmares, startling her awake.
Nathaniel gently took her hand, his voice soft and reassuring. "It's all right now. I'm here."
She nodded faintly and let out a quiet hum of acknowledgment.noveldrama
In the early hours of the morning, she finally drifted back into a fitful sleep.
Not long after, Nathaniel's phone buzzed with a call from Mason. "Boss, there's been an issue at Ceci Corporation."
"I'll be right there," Nathaniel replied
without hesitation. Ending the call,
he glanced at Cecilia, unwilling to wake her Before leaving the hospital, he instructed his
bodyguard to keep a close watch and contact him immediately if anything urgent arose.
The drive to Ceci Corporation was tense, the silence heavy with anticipation. Upon arriving, Nathaniel found Charlotte and the others already gathered. "What happened?" Nathaniel asked.
Though Nathaniel wasn't particularly
invested in Ceci Corporation itself, he understood that it represented Cecilia's hard work and
determination. He had promised her that he would take care of the company, ensuring its stability while she recovered.
Charlotte stepped forward, looking uneasy. "We've been reported."
