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.

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. He 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
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmit? 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.
