Chapter 1836 A n


    After the call ended, ine, in a bar, grimaced.


    Hispanions nearby couldn''t help but ask, "Mr. ine, what''s wrong?"


    ine lit up a cigarette. "Nathaniel demanded that I end my coboration with Nichs."


    "Huh? But why? Isn''t Nichs his younger brother?" someone asked, puzzled.


    Before ine could respond, another person interjected, "That''s just how it is with powerful families. There''s no room for familial affection. Those two brothers are nothing more than rivals."


    "I see."


    inepletely lost his temper. The woman who came over to pour him a drink was abruptly pushed away by him.


    "Get out!" Upon hearing his icy tone, the women hastily grabbed their clothes and scrambled out.


    They were well aware of ine''s reputation and that he didn''t care about women.


    They heard that a couple of years ago, a youngdy from the Quill family met a truly tragic end.


    "Mr. ine, please don''t be upset. Both of them are your cousins. Who are you going to support?" someone asked.


    Naturally, ine wanted to help Nichs.


    After all, as his cousin, he was constantly overshadowed by Nathaniel. His grandparents alwayspared him to Nathaniel.


    He yearned to make a significant impact, one that would outshine Nathaniel, to show his family what he was truly capable of.


    However, ine did not dare to confront Nathaniel directly, as he feared that he might not be able to bear the consequences if things went awry.


    “Nathaniel, of course," responded ine to the crowd.


    “Makes sense. Nathaniel is currently the CEO of Imminence Corporation and Orion Corporation. Compared to him, Nichs still has a long way to go." Everyone agreed in unison.


    Upon hearing those people''s words, ine rose to his feet, no longer in the mood to continue drinking. He stood up and left the private room.


    After leaving the hospital, Nichs didn''t head home. Instead, he unintentionally drove toward Jocelyn''s childhood home.


    Jocelyn''s hometown was quite distant, requiring a four to five-hour drive to reach.


    Throughout the journey, Nichs was focused on driving.


    Then, ine called him. He nced at his phone and answered, "What''s up?"


    "Nathaniel asked me to end our


    coboration, and I agreed,"

    "Do you intend to stand by Nathaniel''s side?" Nichs asked.


    ine scoffed, "If I had been on his


    side, I wouldn''t have coborated with you from the start. However, we both know we''re still no match for him. I''m thinking of using this opportunity to take a shot ato Nathaniel."  s?novel


    "What''s your idea?" Nichs'' interest was piqued.


    ine revealed his n to Nichs.


    After hearing it all, Nichs grinned. "All right, we''ll do it your way."


    "Remember tomunicate well with Robert and his team on your end," said ine.


    "Don''t worry," replied Nichs before he hung up.


    Halfway through the journey, Nichs couldn''t resist and called Jocelyn again.


    Jocelyn must have been quite busy, as it took her a while to answer the phone. "Mr. Nichs."


    "When will you return?" Nichs asked.


    Jocelyn had just finished arranging her engagement. "Tomorrow. Is that okay?"


    "Yes."


    Nichs didn''t ask any more questions. Instead, he turned around and went back. Since Jocelyn was already on her way back, he did not need to make the trip specifically.


    Up until that point, he had no idea why he was driving to Jocelyn''s hometown.


    Jocelyn, on the other hand, was

    Yannick walked up to her, puzzled, and asked, "Who was that on the phone?"


    When he spoke, the scent of alcohol on him was pretty noticeable.
