Chapter 56 Family Time
“Cecilia, letgive you a piece of advice. If a man doesn’t love you, he never will. No matter if you pretend to
be deaf and mute, or even feign amnesia, Nathaniel will never care for you.
Cecilia listened calmly, with not a hint of emotion in her eyes.
“Are you done?”
Stella looked at her with surprise.
Cecilia stood up, looking down at her. “If you're so sure he loves you, then why would you ctolike a
scorned woman?”
After saying her piece, she left with a cold, mocking laugh.
Watching her figure disappear, Stella was reminded of the once-proud heiress of the Smith family.
The thought of how she used to vie for Cecilia's affections to secure the Smith family’s financial support made
her feel sick.
The Smith family was now in ruins, so on what grounds did Cecilia still carry such arrogance?
Stella took a deep breath.
At that moment, her manager's call cthrough. “Stella, there's progress on the song you've been wanting.”
“Really?”
“But...” Her manager hesitated.
“Tellabout any difficulties you're facing,” Stella said.
“Ms. Cecille once released a piece of music on a niche platform abroad without even applying for copyright. I've
heard it, and I'm certain it could gain recognition. We could make a few minor changes...”

This was outright plagiarism.
Stella, of course, understood. Without hesitation, she said, “If there's no copyright, it doesn’t. count as her work,
you know.”
Once Stella had given her approval, the manager handled everything with even greater ease.
After hanging in the phone Stella contemplated on how to deal with Cecilia
Instead of going home, Cecilia went to the Smith residence.
After her mother, Paula, and her younger brother, Magnus, had squandered the Smith family fortune, their home
was mortgaged and was now occupied by others.
Since Cecilia decided to fake her death and disappear, she hadn't kept up with any news. about Magnus and
Paula.
| wonder how they're doing now.
As she stepped out of the car and looked at the familiar old mansion from a distance, her eyes filled with a deep
sense of melancholy.
She stood there for quite a while before finally getting into the car.
The day before Easter, Vivian invited Cecilia to cover so they could spend the holiday together the next
morning.
When Cecilia arrived that evening, she found Jonathan teaching Vivian how to bake a cake.
“How did you get to know glutinous rice? You even know how to wrap it?” Vivian looked utterly puzzled.
Jonathan felt somewhat helpless, “You can easily find it on the video search.”
“Are all girls really this clueless?”
Jonathan was worrying about his future wife.
Cecilia was greeted with a heartwarming scene when she arrived.
“Mommy, cand have scake,” he called out.
Vivian also called out to Cecilia. “The housekeeper has gone hfor the holiday. It’s justand Jonathan
baking. You're finally here.”
After she finished speaking, she lowered her voice. “No one from the Nathaniel faction followed us, right?”
“They're outside.”
“What should we do then?”
“Don’t worry, at most they'll tell Nathaniel that | cto see a friend.”
Vivian nodded.
“True enough.”
By this time, Jonathan had cut a piece of cake, placed it on a plate, and handed it to Cecilia.
“Mommy, we made your favorite lemon curd sponge cake.”
“I love you, kiss.” Cecilia accepted the cake joyfully.
Jonathan's checks flushed with embarrassment. “Mommy, | love you too.”
Vivian glared at Jonathan. “| asked
