It hadn't been long since Magnus left home, yet his mindset had changed so rapidly that it left Heather somewhat incredulous.
Not too long ago, Magnus had declared that what belonged to Cecilia was his as well. He insisted that, as his older sister, it was her duty to look after her younger brother.
Now, he had changed his mind.
Heather even began to doubt if the young man talking to her was truly her grandson.
“Sweetie, did Cecilia deceive you? Are you aware that because of her, your uncles and I have been criticized by many people online? Now, your uncles' companies are also facing problems.”
Magnus had already seen it online. “I know. But you only have yourself to blame for this. You shouldn't blackmail Cecilia.”
Heather was once again taken aback, left speechless by the shocking words that Magnus had just uttered.
Magnus continued, “You should apologize to her now. She's always been soft-hearted. As long as you sincerely apologize, I'm sure she won't do anything else.”
Magnus knew that if Heather continued her online tirade unchecked, his two uncles could kiss their businesses goodbye.
Heather was particularly fond of her grandson and would always listen to his words.
“Okay. I got it. I'll apologize to her,” she affirmed.
Only then did Magnus feel at ease and hang up the phone.
Heather wore a face full of worry. She couldn't even see Cecilia now, so how was she supposed to apologize?
Moreover, even if she really did encounter Cecilia, she couldn't bring herself to apologize.
She had lived for so many years, and she had never apologized to anyone.
Meanwhile, at Jamieson Group.
As Cecilia was having her lunch, Charlotte approached her and said, “The two sons from the Escobar family have arrived. They're waiting in the downstairs lobby.”
Heather was uncooperative and even sabotaged them. They were left with no other choice but to actively seek out Cecilia.
Cecilia gripped her fork tightly, pausing for a moment.
The expressions on the two men changed instantly. “How can she not be here? We specifically came after hearing she was at the company.”
The two sons of the Escobar family knew that Cecilia was avoiding seeing them.
They offered a placating smile as they asked, “Miss, could you please do us a favor and pass these gifts we brought to Ms. Smith?”
“I'm sorry, but I'm just a receptionist. I don't have any contact with the CEO,” the receptionist responded.
The two were at a loss for what to do next.
“Why don't we continue to wait? She'll get off work later,” James suggested.
Jonah felt that they had no other choice, so he nodded in agreement. He then followed his brother back to the couch to continue waiting.
