Ignored When Chasing: Why Cry After I Got Engaged-Chapter 76: I’m Not Afraid of Her

"There’s not much else she can do to me, so she resorts to humiliating me just to vent her anger." Finn Hawthorne looked at Cecilia Nathan, forcing a relaxed smile. "This little stunt isn’t enough to humiliate me."

Finn Hawthorne was a perfectly straight man. How could he possibly not be distressed by something like this?

Cecilia Nathan knew he was just putting on a brave face to reassure her.

"Don’t worry, I’ll get revenge for you." The thought of Selina Nathan using her identity to pull off something so vile made Cecilia Nathan tremble with rage.

She hadn’t wanted to get involved, but this had crossed a line.

"No, no, no, don’t! You don’t have to get revenge for me!" Finn Hawthorne waved his hands frantically. "There’s nothing to avenge. That woman, Selina Nathan, is a psychopath. You shouldn’t provoke her."

A tremor ran through Finn Hawthorne’s hoarse voice.

Even though he did his best to hide it, Cecilia could still hear the fear and worry in his tone.

"Rest assured, I’m not afraid of her."

’If anything really happens to me, Sharon Quincy will spend the rest of her life in prison.’

"Really, you don’t have to. Miss Cecilia Nathan, I’m begging you, please don’t confront her. She’s using the Nathan family’s resources now, and she operates on both sides of the law. There’s almost no one who can oppose her. A person like you, with no connections, will end up just like me... she’ll devour you, leaving nothing behind."

Finn Hawthorne wanted to persuade her further, but Cecilia simply patted his shoulder and offered a reassuring smile.

"Don’t worry, I won’t put myself in harm’s way."

’I can’t get in touch with Linden Nathan. Something must be wrong.’

Remembering Damian Hawthorne had mentioned her father was coming to visit in a few days, an idea sparked in Cecilia Nathan’s mind.

’Since he’s coming, I just need to find a way to meet with him.’

’Isn’t Sharon Quincy enjoying her time as the young miss of the Nathan family, being the center of everyone’s attention? In that case, I’ll make sure she’s publicly humiliated.’

’Only when everyone knows Sharon Quincy deceived them will her dream of living a high-society life be shattered.’

"Finn Hawthorne, rest assured, I will get you justice."

Cecilia Nathan’s voice was firm and resonant, echoing in Finn Hawthorne’s ears.

Finn Hawthorne looked at her determined expression, then glanced at Damian Hawthorne’s assistant beside her. He nodded slightly. "Alright. Be safe, then. You have to be careful."

’With Damian Hawthorne’s help, Miss Cecilia Nathan should be fine, right?’

’The Nathan family may be huge and wealthy enough to rival a small country, but this is Korsyth.’ 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

’And in all of Korsyth, the Hawthorne family calls the shots.’

This thought finally put Finn Hawthorne at ease.

’He didn’t know why he had so much faith in Cecilia Nathan.’

’Perhaps it was because she had helped him before, or perhaps it was because she had never looked at him like he was a piece of merchandise.’

From the moment he chose to help Cecilia, he had been prepared for retaliation from Sharon Quincy.

He just hadn’t expected that instead of beating or thrashing him, Sharon Quincy would use this method to humiliate him.

Finn Hawthorne refused Justin Bell’s offer to have someone escort him. Instead, he went to the hospital and bought post-exposure medication.

Just as he finished taking the medication, Finn Hawthorne received a call from his family.

"Something’s happened to your sister."

Finn Hawthorne froze, his eyes widening in absolute fury.

’Sharon Quincy wouldn’t even spare his family!’

"What happened to my sister?"

"Some people took your sister away."

Hearing this, Finn Hawthorne completely lost it.

’He could be humiliated, he could be hurt, but his sister was off-limits.’

’Sharon Quincy, if you dare touch my family, I will fight you to the death.’

...

Feeling guilty for not being able to help Finn Hawthorne, Justin Bell had quickly arranged protection for Finn’s family as well.

When his men saw Finn Hawthorne’s sister being taken, they rescued her immediately.

When Cecilia Nathan heard about this, her heart skipped a beat.

’She couldn’t wait for Linden Nathan to arrive. By then, Sharon Quincy would have completely destroyed the Nathan family’s reputation.’

’She had to stop this lunatic.’

’She was going to reveal her true identity to Sharon Quincy.’
