When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 520 The Haunting Past

Some of the comments online were simply too outrageous.

Even after the trending topic was removed, it still became a popular topic of conversation amongst the public.

Originally, Stella had faded from public view. But now, becoming the topic of public discourse, she found herself back in the limelight.

Zachary had also seen the news, and he wasn’t surprised.

Didn’t Stella die in the psychiatric hospital? Who leaked these photos?

The public was unaware that Stella had been sent to a psychiatric hospital, nor did they know about the fire.

Could it have been someone holding a grudge against Nathaniel from the past?

He had just turned off the news when he saw Vivian outside, seemingly busy.

Upon entering, he saw her squatting on the ground, weeding.

“What are you doing?” Zachary asked, puzzled.

Vivian’s hand paused for a moment. She looked up at Zachary’s languid expression, and her mind immediately drifted to the news she had seen online.

“It’s none of your business,” she retorted.

She had read the news online and truly sympathized with Cecilia.

Who in their right mind wouldn’t care if their partner’s picture was exposed?

Zachary watched as she nearly stripped an entire patch of lawn bare.

“If you’re not too busy, would you like to join me on a visit to Rainsworth Manor?”

Originally, Vivian adopted a grouchy attitude. Upon hearing that they were going to Rainsworth Manor, she looked up at him. “Really?”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

She was somewhat puzzled. The day before, Zachary’s grandfather had asked him to take her to visit relatives, but he had declined.

How did things change so quickly today?

“Alright, let’s bring Jon along with us.”

Zachary had two things on his mind for the visit. First, he wanted to ask Nathaniel what was really. going on. Second, he intended to meet the latter’s son.

“Forget about Jon. Let’s just go by ourselves.”

Vivian immediately refused. If Jon were to go there, he might be exposed.

“Of course we should bring him along

Zachary insisted. Before she could even react. he went off to find Jonathan.

Since he was going to meet Nathaniel’s son. Bringing along the clever Jonathan would certainly help with his standing.

At that moment, Jonathan was still engaged in a chess game with George.

The latter gazed at the chessboard where his defeat was already decided. his head hanging low. “No, no, this round doesn’t count. Let’s start over,” he said.

Jonathan is incredibly clever. After a morning of chess, I didn’t manage to win even once.

“Alright.”

Jonathan obediently took his seat, joining George in separating the black and white chess pieces.

“Grandpa, I’m planning to take Jon and Vivian to visit Rainsworth Manor, Zachary said.

“What are you going there for?” George seemed a little puzzled.

He couldn’t bear to part with Jonathan. “You guys go ahead. Remember to bring some gifts since it’s the holidays. Jon will keep me company by playing chess with me here.”

Upon hearing that they were to visit Rainsworth Manor, Jonathan also refused. “I’m not going. I want to stay and play chess with Great–grandpa.

“You’re such a good boy.”

In response, Zachary felt somewhat helpless.

Vivian came in subsequently. Upon hearing the responses of Geroge and Jonathan, she let out a sigh of quiet relief.

“Let’s go on our own. Imagine how bored Grandpa must be while staying at home alone if we take Jon with us.”

“See that? Vivian is the only one who cares for me,” George immediately praised her, his gaze instantly shifting to Zachary, “You brat, all you do is upset me.”

Zachary was at a loss for words. Am I not your grandson now?

Left with no other choice, he took Vivian to Rainsworth Manor.

Meanwhile, at Rainsworth Manor, when Cecilia saw that the trending topics had been removed. from the internet, she realized she could still find related information by searching for it.

On TikTok, the photos were everywhere.

She felt a strange sense of unease in her heart. After breakfast, she pulled Nathaniel aside.
