When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1986

Chapter 1986 Skeletons In The Closet
The online community was filled with righteous indignation; they decided to investigate the sons of Heather. It didn't take long for them to find the companies owned by the two sons.

One was engaged in foreign trade, while the other ran a chain of snack stores.

Upon further investigation, both companies were found to have a fair share of skeletons in their closet.

In fact, some savvy netizens had even discovered that both companies were suffering from cash flow problems.

Once this information was revealed, everyone suddenly understood Heather's intentions. They commented:

No wonder she suddenly approached Cecilia. It turns out her own son is having trouble making money, and she wants her granddaughter to provide for them.

The last commenter should get things straight. Cecilia is not the biological granddaughter, just someone they adopted. She hasn't had any ties with them for a long time.

We must boycott those two companies!

The eldest son, James Escobar, whose company dealt with foreign trade, wasn't affected. Instead, questions popped up online for the younger son, Jonah Escobar. People were asking the customer service if their boss was indeed having his own mother solicit money from Cecilia.

Whenever Jonah's company sold something online, everyone rushed to leave negative reviews, followed by returning the item and requesting refunds.

In a short while, the negative reviews for Jonah's store had surged into the thousands. The number of refunds was also skyrocketing at an alarming rate. The cost of covering just the shipping fees alone had escalated into a staggering amount.

Jonah finally stumbled upon the news online, and he hurriedly dialed his mother's number.

Back at the Smith residence, Cecilia grabbed Heather's hand. “Don't lay a finger on my son!”

Her gaze toward the latter was piercing.

Heather unexpectedly found herself feeling somewhat frightened under Cecilia's gaze. She awkwardly withdrew her hand, then said, “I'm not an unreasonable person. It's just that your actions have gone too far.”

“You're so wealthy, so what's wrong with helping your uncle? No matter what, you need to get the money ready for me, and also...”

Heather went on to list one by one what she needed from Cecilia.

Cecilia simply listened in silence.

Right then, the ringtone of a mobile phone chimed. Heather glanced at it, recognizing that it was Jonah calling.

Once she regained her composure, she stood up angrily. “Just you wait. You're not off the hook yet!”

Heather was no longer willing to stay there. She intended to continue inviting journalists over to expose Cecilia's vile actions.

Once she stepped outside, her phone rang again. It was a call from Jonah.

This time, Heather took the call.

“Jonah, what is it?”

Heather's face was filled with confusion. “What are you babbling about? Why would I ruin you?”

“The supposed private conversation you just had with Cecilia was livestreamed online!” exclaimed Jonah.

Upon hearing the news, Heather felt her head spin, and she nearly collapsed onto the ground.
