Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 387

Nathan turned around, his eyes dark and mysterious as he glanced toward the study. “Benjamin, why should I trust anything you say?”

With a smug grin, Benjamin replied, “Grandpa’s got this book of business secrets tucked away in his safe. It’s got all the key info about the Rowland family’s enterprises. I swing by Grandpa's study every week for 'lessons.' The truth is, he's been grooming me for the business world. Tell me, Nathan, has Grandpa ever mentioned that book to you?”

Nathan nodded silently. “Thanks for letting me know,” he said quietly. But then he muttered under his breath, “Idiot.”

Back in his room, Nathan slumped onto the couch, feeling utterly drained. Deep down, he’d always known that things with the Rowland family would end up like this. But he’d been fooling himself, trying to hang onto the fantasy of family love. He craved it so much.

He packed his bags, and as he was about to leave, it hit him how few things he really had. It was like he knew all along he was just a guest.

As he dragged his suitcase to the door, he bumped into Gavin.

“Nathan, I hope you don’t hold this against us,” Gavin said, pretending to be sincere.

Nathan stared straight at him, his eyes unreadable. He didn’t say a word, but his presence was commanding. Gavin felt a twinge of fear.

“There’s only room for one top dog. Benjamin has the prime investors backing him. He is now the headline act in the Capital. You sticking around would just be a thorn in his side, and soon you’d be at each other’s throats.”
