Chapter 410
Nathaniel had been drinking for quite a while since feeling down.He had never felt like this before, and
it was like everything was over.
"Hey, handsome, it’s such a bore to be drinking alone.Why don’t you join me?"
An attractive woman approached Nathaniel and started to hit on him.
Nathaniel raised his head to look at the woman but could not make out who she was as he was already
quite wasted, "Sure, why not."
Suddenly, someone came over and shoved the lady aside, ignoring her yells of protest.
Nathaniel roared intoxicatedly, "Who are you?! How dare you..."
Before he could finish his sentence, someone dragged him to the bar entrance by his collar.
"W-Who are you? W-What are you trying to do?"
He was slightly sober now as he stood outside the bar shivering from the cold wind that blew.
Although the commotion attracted some attention, it was normal at a bar, so everyone continued having
fun after a while.
Bang!
The person shoved Nathaniel into the backseat of a car, and the door slammed beside him.
Since he was drunk, he was half- kneeling in his seat, trying hard not to throw up.
"How dare you?"
Nathaniel started again before someone splashed him with a cold glass of water.It was already winter,
so he shivered and opened his eyes.
"Are you sober now?"
He finally realized who had splashed him with water when he heard the familiar voice.
When the lights inside the car turned on, he saw his mother’s arrogant yet beautiful face.
"Mother, waa...."
Nathaniel cried, unleashing all his pent-up frustration and unfairness he felt.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмHe lay his
head on Eloise’s lap and sobbed uncontrollably.
Nathaniel was just like a child who got bullied at school, finally able to release his anger and frustration
to someone he trusted.
This time, Eloise did not try to correct Nathaniel when he had failed to call her Ms.Neville.
Instead, she sighed and gently patted Nathaniel’s head, allowing him to cry freely.
After crying for a while, Nathaniel felt tired, so he sat up and cleaned his face with his sleeves.Eloise
frowned and passed him a face towel, "Clean yourself up properly!"
"S-Sorry..."
After cleaning himself up and regaining his composure, Nathaniel said, "I didn’t mean to lose control."
Eloise frowned in disapproval and stated, "Now, you’re sorry? Look at yourself!"
"It’s the end for me this time, Mother.My company will get destroyed too, but what can I do to salvage
it? I’ve failed you!"
Nathaniel wanted to tear up again, so he tilted his head upward, not wanting to lose control again.It
was embarrassing enough that he had done it once already.
"What nonsense are you spewing? How could your life be over just because of something like this? I’ll
only be disappointed in you if you choose to give up!"
"B-But I..." Nathaniel started.
Eloise ignored what he had to say and continued, "Remember what that sc*m father of yours wanted to
do at the casino? He wanted to trade us like some commodity to continue gambling.I could overcome
all our early hardships alone, and do you think it was all rainbows and sunshine that I got to remarry
into the Knight family? "Do you know how many challenges I had to overcome? Do you know how
many dirty schemes I had to avoid? Now, you’re crying over such a small matter!"
"I..."
What Eloise said made Nathaniel feel ashamed, so he stayed silent for a while.
