When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1888

Chapter 1888 Make The Same Mistake Over And Over Again
As soon as Nathaniel was taken in, Robert's family threw an all-out celebration.

Miranda looked quite pleased, while only Adrian seemed unsettled.

He asked hesitantly, “Dad, are we really doing the right thing? I mean, he's family. If Nathaniel actually gets arrested, it could come back to bite us. And if he finds out we were behind it, he'll come after us for sure!”

Robert scowled. “Why are you even worrying about this? You're useless. Not even fit to be my son.”

Adrian fell silent at those harsh words.

But the boy sitting next to him, Felix, took those words to heart.

“Grandpa,” he said, “I think you made the right call. As the saying goes, 'It's every man for himself.”‘

Robert burst out laughing at his words. “Ha! My grandson really gets it. You're right—we've got to put ourselves first in this world. Don't grow up to be as cowardly as your father.”

Looking at his grandfather with admiration, Felix nodded. “Yes, Grandpa. I understand.”

But they'd celebrated too soon.

That afternoon, Nathaniel returned and went straight to the Rainsworth Manor. He called in Robert's entire family, Nicholas included.

At the time, Nathaniel's father, Wren, was still at home. He found the whole thing odd. “Nathaniel, what's going on here?” he asked.

“Dad, I'm here to show you who they really are.”

In front of the stunned family, Mason stepped forward with a thick stack of documents. He dropped them in front of the group.

Papers scattered everywhere. Robert picked up a few, his eyes widening in shock as he read. He gave a sheepish laugh. “Nathaniel, this is all a big misunderstanding. How could you accuse us of causing problems for your company?”

Nathaniel's brows furrowed. “Do you want me to point out every single person you've planted inside the company?”
