Chapter 1884 Last Words


    Nathaniel''s father was abroad and hadn''t returned yet.


    Elena frowned. "Robert, even if Wren wanted toe now, he couldn''t. He''s on


    his return flight. It would take at least two hours."


    Robert gave a cold snort. "Let''s wait for him to return before discussing this further. As an outsider, it would be best if you don''t interfere."


    Gritting her teeth, Elena eximed, "I''ve given birth to two sons for the Rainsworth family. How can you say I''m not part of the family? No, I need to ask Dad why he is being so unfair! My son is more capable than yours. Does that mean they should be subjected to unfair treatment just because of that?"


    Over the years, Niel had owned a substantial amount of equity.


    Even though Nathaniel held the majority stake now, there was an element of danger if Niel were to transfer his shares to Robert and the others.


    Besides, Nichs also needed the shares.


    Over the years, Niel had surely amassed a considerable amount of assets. Elena was not keen on simply handing them over to her Robert''s family.


    Robert stood in front of Niel. "If you want to me someone, Elena, me yourself for not being able to hold onto Wren. Without him here, all your arguing is pointless."


    Elena wanted to say something else but was stopped by Nathaniel. "Mom, let it be."


    Nathaniel knew that arguing would be pointless, as the Niel had always favored Robert''s family.


    At that moment, a dark look flitted across Nichs'' eyes, but he also said, "Mom, Nathaniel is right. We don''t need to fight over these things. Whoever Grandpa wants to give it to, he can."


    Niel''s breathing became increasinglybored as hey on the sickbed.


    As his life was drawing to its close, he was terrified of simply fading away. Yet, watching his descendants squabble over his assets, he also felt somewhat disheartened.


    He struggled to utter, "Wren..."


    Wren was rather disobedient and showed no interest in managing the family business, which constantly kept him out of favor with Niel.


    Yet, at that moment, Niel found himself missing Wren a bit.


    "Dad, Wren will be here soon. Please hang in there," Robert urged


    immediately, gripping his father''s


    hand


    fearing he might


    change his mind.


    Perhaps feeling a bit guilty, Niel added, "L-Let''s split the assets in half..."


    The look in Robert''s eyes darkened. Pretending as if he hadn''t heard a thing, he tightened his grip on Niel''s hand. "Dad, don''t be upset with. Wren You know how he is. He


    doesn''te home often


    novel.ne


    throughout the year. Please, don''t be angry."


    Niel looked at him in disbelief, somewhat incredulous that Robert wasn''t following his instructions.


    He had handed over all his shares to Robert, yet thetter desired his entire fortune.


    Niel wanted to get up and p Robert, but he just couldn''t manage to rise.


    His eyes were filled with anger as he mustered all his strength to yell, "B-Bastard!"


    As the final syble fell from his lips, his hand dropped limply to his side. He showed no signs of life thereafter.


    "Dad... Dad!" Robert cried out in anguish.


    The rest of his descendants also gathered around.


    "Grandpa!"


    "Great-grandpa!"


    The sound of sobbing lingered persistently around Rainsworth Manor.


    Though Nathaniel didn''t have much affection for his grandfather, he still felt somewhat saddened.


    Elena was even more distressed. "Dad, how could you just leave like that, not even waiting for Wren? Wren will be back very soon."


    At the mention of Wren, Robert,


    standing beside Elena, roared, "Why are you even bringing him up? Dad


    was infuriated to death because he heard of Wren''s doings."


    Cecilia stood at a distance, feeling it inappropriate to interfere. However, hearing


    what Robert was saying, she couldn''t help but find it absurd.


    Niel was already on hisst legs, so why was the cause of his death being med on Wren?
