NovelEnglishChapter 1405 Chapter 1405: Thankfully, Rhys was quick to catch him, preventing him from falling.
"What did you say?" Nathaniel asked in astonishment.
Rhys concisely relayed the situation with Harlee and her suspicions that Lucius was orchestrating her troubles. "How dare he?" Nathaniel's expression darkened significantly after hearing the update.
Nathaniel had been holding back out of respect for their historical friendship, avoiding a confrontation, but since Lucius was pushing the limits, Nathaniel felt it was tto act.

The reception room of the Swain family estate was eerily quiet, much like the stillness that precedes a storm.
Patrick, having tagged along, quietly stepped back, realizing that Rhys had indeed foreseen everything. This situation was sure to end badly. The way the two bigwigs, Lucius and Nathaniel, stared at each other made it look like they were ready to go to war. As Patrick moved aside, Cullen appeared right behind him.
A twitch passed through Patrick's eyes. It was no surprise, considering Cullen had been by Nathaniel's side for so long. Cullen's perception was sharper.
Seeing Patrick's gaze, Cullen raised an eyebrow expressionlessly, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. He shrugged. What was there to be astonished about? He knew Nathaniel's temper, especially his fierce protectiveness.
As expected, within moments, Lucius and Nathaniel began hurling insults at each other.

With an evil smile, Lucius responded softly, "If only that could bring her back." His gaze cold, he looked up at Nathaniel.
"I have watched Harlee grow. I have known her longer than you. I never blamed you for failing to protect her, so what gives you the right to judge me?" Nathaniel seemed to have expected Lucius to say this. His deep, dark eyes showed no sign of warmth. He even cast a subtle glance around. Given how confident Lucius was, Nathaniel knew Harlee must be here. Nathaniel hoped Rhys could hurry up and locate her.
Lucius felt a jolt of fear when he caught Nathaniel's piercing look, as if Nathaniel could see right through him. His body tensed involuntarily. This was bad. Rhys hadn't cafter Nathaniel here. Rhys couldn't have...

"Nathaniel Green, if your purpose today is merely to condemn me, that's utterly pointless!" At that moment, Nathaniel, previously enraged, let out a sigh. It was soft, yet everyone in the room turned their attention to him.
With a voice low and raspy, tinged with melancholy, Nathaniel said, "If I'm not welchere, then I'll leave and not be a hindrance. It's fine! over m You've misunderstoodfor years.
Another misjudgment hardly matters.
I've grown accustomed to it. I suppose I'll just discuss this with Nicola in heaven after I die. Or perhaps, I won't even need to wait that long." With these words, Nathaniel rose swiftly and headed for the door, his departing figure exuding loneliness and sorrow, as if burdened by a heavy secret.
When Cullen saw this, he nearly clapped his hands in approval. After all these years, Nathaniel's knack for tics had only improved.
Patrick's eyes twitched once more, unable to control the reaction. Was this typical of Nathaniel'stechniques? No wonder Nathaniel had assured Rhys earlier that he could manage the situation here, entrusting the search for Harlee into Rhys' hands.
Lucius watched Nathaniel leave in sheer disbelief. What trick was this old geezer trying to play now? Nathaniel was being agreeable, almost victim-like, Who did Nathaniel think he was fooling? Nicola had been gone for such a long time. Who was Nathaniel putting on this act for? How disgusting. Wait a minute. That wasn't Nathaniel's true nature. Nathaniel only reserved his woeful acts for Nicola. Could it mean Nicola was still alive? Or perhaps Nathaniel knew something more, like where she was buried?
