When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1949 Do Not Give It To Her

"Could it be that I've hit the nail on the head?" Upon seeing Elena's irritation, Bethany not only continued unabated but pushed her luck even further.noveldrama

"Everyone knows your husband hardly spends any time at home throughout the year. Who's to say he doesn't have a handful of illegitimate daughters and sons out there!"

Raised with good manners since childhood, Elena clenched her fist, stifling her urge to lash out.

Immediately, Cecilia stepped forward, approaching Bethany.

"You mentioned that Magnus spent quite a bit of money on the Rainsworth family's daughter. Who is this Rainsworth family's daughter? Where's the record of his spending? Is there any proof?"

A few words were all it took to leave Bethany completely bewildered.

She was still contemplating when Cecilia continued, "If you can't produce any evidence, we'll sue you. Think it over."

Bethany regained her senses.

"You little rascal, always looking out for others. The girl that our Magnus was searching for is named Chelsea Rainsworth. Tell me, isn't she from the Rainsworth family then? As for the receipts or evidence of spending money, you think these clever girls of today would leave any trace? All they know is to make us foot the bill without leaving any proof." Bethany tugged at Cecilia's clothes. "You better have your grandmother repay the money now, or I'll publicize this matter. So, the daughters of the Rainsworth family have no qualms about spending men's money. It seems that your family's vast fortune was built on the deception of your daughters."

Chelsea...

It was only then that Elena understood, the person they were seeking was the daughter of a branch of the Rainsworth family.

She felt a bit more at ease in her heart, perhaps because she found out the girl's identity, who was not Wren's illegitimate daughter.

She was on the brink of divorcing Wren. If it turned out that Wren truly had an illegitimate daughter, she was determined to give him a taste of his own medicine. "You've got the wrong person," Elena said coldly. "We're not responsible for what happens to Chelsea. You should be speaking with her parents."

Bethany was unyielding. "I don't care who her parents are. All I know is that she and Nathaniel are from the same lineage; they both belong to the Rainsworth family. So, I'm going to find the Rainsworth family!"

Bethany had her own plans.

She knew better than anyone that it was her own grandson who had designs on Chelsea. If she were to make a fuss with Chelsea's parents, it would undoubtedly do her no good. There was even a chance she might be thrown out.

However, things were different if she came to Cecilia's place.

The Rainsworth family, with its vast empire in the south, placed great emphasis on tradition and reputation.

Besides, Cecilia was still a daughter-in-law to the family. In a way, she could be considered as Cecilia's grandmother.

People from the Rainsworth family would definitely not dare to lay a hand on their

own.

Sure enough, Elena truly didn't dare to cross this elderly lady.

Cecilia never expected that Bethany could be so shameless.

Genuinely Elena couldn't be

bothered to argue with such a

frustrating person. "How muchel

money did Magnus spend on Chelsea?"

Seeing that Elena seemed to waver and even started asking her, a glint flashed in Bethany's eyes as she held up five fingers.

"Fifty million!"

She only gave Magnus forty million. The fifty million was a scheme to swindle the Rainsworth family.

The Rainsworth family was so wealthy. Fifty million was just a drop in the bucket for them.

Besides, with Magnus and Chelsea absent, wasn't the fifty million something she could just casually mention?

"Fine, I'll give you fifty million. Take it and get out!" Elena retorted, turning to grab the cheque.

Cecilia stopped her. "Mom, don't give her any money."

Bethany was taken aback.

"You little brat. What did you just say?"

Cecilia had the audacity to ruin her good fortune.

Her son was eagerly awaiting this sum of money. If she failed to secureat, she knew for certain that upon her return, she would face reproach from both her son and daughter-in-law.

Cecilia didn't pay her any mind. Instead, she lowered her voice and said to Elena, "Mom, fifty million isn't

a lot but if we give it once, there will be a second time."
