Chapter 617 She Is Also An Independent Woman
Before long, Priscilla received a text message from Miranda, asking her to come over.
She apologized to Cecilia, saying, “I need to head over there for a bit and will be back soon.”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Rather than trying to win over Cecilia, what mattered more to her at the moment was not to offend Miranda.
Cecilia understood that as well, so she hadn’t made things difficult for her.
Consequently, most of the time, Miranda was engrossed in boasting before the
the group while Cecilia sat quietly in a corner.
“Ms. Miranda, I heard that your husband spent a few hundred million in an attempt to monopolize the market through bulk purchasing. Is that true?” one of the mothers inquired.
Miranda took a sip of coffee before correcting, “It’s not just a few hundred million, but five billion. And that five billion is merely the initial investment, who knows how much more will be needed later on.”
How could a few hundred million be enough to monopolize a business?
Five billion?
Rumor had it that it only took a week’s time.
Everyone was deeply impressed.
A collateral family of the Rainsworths was already spending a king’s ransom in their business endeavors. One could only imagine how much Nathaniel, the current family head, required for each project.
“Ms. Miranda, my husband is also familiar with this line of work. If there’s time, could-” one of the mothers began, seizing the opportunity to initiate a collaboration between Rainsworth Group and her husband.
Yet, Miranda interrupted, “I’m sorry, but when it comes to work, it’s usually my husband who makes the decisions. As for me, I’m just a housewife.”
The audacity of her words was infuriating, yet no one else dared to utter a word,
At that moment, Miranda gave a knowing look to a mother nearby. Catching the hint, the mother turned to Cecilia and asked, “Ms. Cecilia, what does your husband do for a living?”
As soon as she spoke, another mother chimed in before Cecilia could respond. “Isn’t Ms. Cecilia’s husband Nathaniel Rainsworth? He had a car accident and lost his sight, right? I think he’s currently unemployed?”
Miranda picked up her cup but didn’t take a sip, only using it to hide her smile.
Another mother chimed in, “Ms. Cecilia, where did you get the money for all the fancy clothes

and accessories you’re wearing?”

“Are they from your husband’s savings and insurance money?” another mother quickly chimed in.
Cecilia knew that these women were followers of the wealthy and powerful. Whatever Miranda asked them to do, they would do.
It wasn’t just for the sake of their children, but also their husbands‘ company and such. To put it plainly, it was all for their own interests.
That was just how the world of adults worked. Personal interests and benefits took precedence over morality.
Cecilia didn’t get angry. “Yeah, I’m currently using my husband’s savings.”
The women who had previously envied Cecilia all wore expressions of disdain.
After all, savings would only dwindle with each spending. Given Cecilia’s extravagant lifestyle, it was certain that she would soon run out of money.
However, what Cecilia said next stirred their jealousy once again.
“However, my husband once mentioned that there’s no limit to his savings. We could spend it freely for the rest of our lives.”
The rest were rendered speechless.
They instinctively found her words hard to believe, but when they thought about how Nathaniel had become the CEO of Rainsworth Group since adulthood, leading it all the way to becoming a multinational conglomerate, how could he possibly not have personal savings?
A hint of jealousy slipped into Miranda’s eyes when she learned Nathaniel had a substantial saving.
She flashed a superficial smile. “Well, aren’t you lucky.”
Cecilia responded with a smile, revealing another startling piece of news.
“However, I’m currently spending the money I earned since there’s no way I could use it all at
once.
The crowd of mothers sighed once again.
Every day, they would either be at home doing skincare routines, looking after their children, or out shopping. Most of them didn’t have the capability to earn their own money.
That was also why they admired Miranda for having the opportunity to work at Rainsworth Group.
They didn’t expect Cecilia to also be an independent woman, especially Priscilla, her eyes were filled with admiration whenever she looked at Cecilia.
