Ignored When Chasing: Why Cry After I Got Engaged-Chapter 49: Just a Music Score

"Stop using me to threaten Cecilia! My family’s problems aren’t a lost cause yet, so it’s none of your business," Chloe Sutton said, stepping in front of Cecilia Nathan. "Cecilia, I don’t know what she wants, but whatever you do, don’t listen to her. Don’t give it to her."

Serena Hughes had sworn to help her family through their crisis, yet all she asked for was some music score. It definitely wasn’t a normal score.

Besides, Serena was no pushover. The "help" she was offering wouldn’t be this simple.

Chloe Sutton took a deep breath and glared fiercely at Serena Hughes.

She didn’t want to be Cecilia’s weak spot, especially not in front of a two-faced schemer like Serena Hughes.

"Chloe." Cecilia Nathan patted her hand and smiled gently. "It’s just a music score. I’m happy if it can help you."

She knew Serena Hughes had come for the score. If she didn’t hand it over, Serena wouldn’t let the matter rest.

If Serena didn’t have the Sinclair family backing her, Cecilia wouldn’t have been worried in the slightest. But Serena was Fiona Sinclair’s granddaughter.

She didn’t want her best friend to get dragged into this any further.

Cecilia Nathan looked at Serena Hughes, her eyes clear and her tone flat. "I’ll give you what you want. You’d better keep your word."

"Of course. I promised you, so I won’t go back on my word." Serena Hughes couldn’t suppress her excitement, her voice trembling. "Just give it to me, and I guarantee I’ll resolve this matter for you."

’The score for *Eye of Love*... I finally have it!’

After taking the score, Serena Hughes left immediately without another word.

Watching Serena’s hasty departure, Chloe Sutton frowned. "Cecilia, what exactly is that score? Why does she value it so much?"

"It’s a treasure that represents the past for me, but the present for her."

...

The moment Serena Hughes got the score, her first instinct was to find Damian Hawthorne, but she hesitated when she remembered her grandmother’s advice.

’If I want to make a real splash, the best time would be to perform at Damian Hawthorne’s grandfather’s birthday banquet. In front of all those people, Damian might not deny our engagement. But I’m afraid I can’t wait that long.’ 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Damian Hawthorne had made it perfectly clear that she was to clear up the matter of the proposal herself.

At that thought, she gritted her teeth, steeled her resolve, and headed for the Hawthorne residence.

She couldn’t wait for the banquet.

Just then, her phone rang. It was Fiona Sinclair, calling to ask if she had gotten what she wanted.

"I got it. Thank you, Grandma." Serena Hughes thanked Fiona Sinclair from the bottom of her heart. If it weren’t for her, she never would have gotten the score.

"Since you have it now, do you need me to take care of the Sutton family’s problem?"

Serena Hughes’s eyes darted around before she let out a soft huff. "Grandma, helping Chloe Sutton’s father’s company will cost quite a bit of money, won’t it?"

"Yes, but that amount of money is nothing to us."

Fiona Sinclair’s only son didn’t want to marry, which meant that, for now, Serena was her only granddaughter. When Fiona passed away, Serena stood to inherit a large portion of the family fortune.

’That amount might be nothing to the family now, but it’s still part of my future inheritance.’

Suddenly, a wicked grin spread across Serena Hughes’s face. "Actually, Grandma, we don’t need to spend too much money helping her. If she asks about it later, I’ll just say we did our best."

’Chloe Sutton doesn’t have any powerful connections, and Cecilia Nathan is just an orphan. Even if I don’t help them, what can they do to me?’

’Once I perform the piece, Cecilia won’t have any proof, even if she wants the score back.’

The more Serena Hughes thought about it, the more excited she became.

The thought of the violin in Cecilia Nathan’s home made jealousy gnaw at her like a parasite.

’Mr. Hawthorne was supposed to be mine. It’s all Cecilia Nathan’s fault. If she hadn’t suddenly gotten pregnant and had that surgery, my relationship with him wouldn’t have become so icy.’

’Sorry, Cecilia Nathan, but you shouldn’t have crossed me!’
