NovelEnglishChapter 284 He didn't even have tto worry about the blood streaming down his scratched face. Spinning around, he rushed to Garnett Brown's side, his voice tight with concern: "Garnett, are you alright?" To Nathan, Garnett was more than just Sophia's younger brother. After their parents died when they were children, the siblings had only each other to rely on. Garnett had dropped out of school young to work, making sure Sophia could go on to college without a care.
If Sophia ever found out he hadn't looked after Garnett, Nathan knew it would break her heart.
Besides, Vanessa had always held a deep respect for her uncle. She'd often say, "There's nothing like a mother's brother," and Nathan couldn't agree more.
Garnett had sacrificed his own happiness to care for Vanessa, putting off marriage and any thoughts of a family of his own. Now in his forties, he was still single, no wife, no children-just a life spent in service to his loved ones.

"Victor, if you've messed up Garnett and he can't have kids because of you, I swear I won't let you off easy!" Victor couldn't help but laugh in disbelief.
He looked at Nathan like he was the world's biggest fool. "You're worried about him? I saw it with my own eyes- he's been screwing around behind your back. Maybe you should worry about yourself first." At first, Nathan didn't believe a word of it. But there's always an exception to every rule.
Something dark flickered in his mind. Suddenly, he whipped his gaze toward Adah, rage blazing in his eyes, as if he wanted to tear her apart.
"You filthy woman. I knew no one in the Jones family could be any good." "I'm busy running the company day in and day out, and you just couldn't stand the loneliness, could you? You drugged Garnett, took advantage of him when he wasn't in his right mind-forced yourself on him. How shameless can you be? You're a woman, and instead of taking care of your hand child, you're out there cheating. Just the sight of you disgusts me!" Victor's jaw dropped at this outburst-he'd never heard anything so twisted.
Adah was shaking with anger, her chest heaving as she fought for breath.
She was filled with bitter regret. How could she have ever fallen for someone as malicious, petty, and downright vile as Nathan? He was the one who'd betrayed their marriage, the one who'd dumped Claire in an orphanage, then marched hwith his mistress's child and made Adah raise her for twenty years. And now, he had the nerve to turn it all around and blher.
"Nathan, I've had enough!" she spat, lunging at him, hands reaching to claw at his face once more.
But just then, the heavy doors of Foster Manor swung open.
May stepped out, face expressionless, her voice cold and calm: "Didn't you want to see Mr. Foster?" Instantly, the chaos outside fell silent. Nathan's face lit up with hope as he wrenched Adah's hand from his face.
But the moment he realized it was May at the door, his expression soured, his brows knitting together in irritation.

May didn't answer, just stared at him with an inscrutable look in her eyes.
Nathan bristled, feeling his authority challenged. May was just a servant, and yet she dared look at him like that.
He was about to lash out, but then he remembered this was the Foster family's estate. If state. If May was here! She must be working for them. Even a dog's master deserved respect, and he figured he'd give Sean that courtesy. With a cold snort, Nathan snapped, "Garnett, let's go."
By now, the ache between Garnett As Brown's legs had eased a little. As he Q passed Victor, he gave him a glare filled with with silent warning-as if to say, "Try any more of your nonsense and you'll regret it." But Victor just shrugged it off and turned to Adah. "Let's head inside." And so, the four of them made their way into the Fosters' grand living room.
Nathan had rehearsed what he was going to say a hundred times on the way
over. But the moment he stepped inside and saw who was waiting, his eyes went wide with shock. It felt like abolt of lightning had struck him, leaving his mind utterly blank.
