This was the difference between a winner and a loser.

handcuffs and chains

Once defeated, the loser would lose all power.

Romello could not do a single thing.

Nathaniel pretended to sigh with regret.

“Romello, rest assured, I’ll visit you often in prison. After all, the high–security prison is a good place. I spent half a year there and almost went crazy. Now, you’ll spend your whole life there.

What should we do?”

Romello’s eyes brimmed with intense hatred.

If looks could kill, Nathaniel would have been dead.

Romello struggled to break free, wanting to charge forward. However, the officers on both sides. held him down tightly, dragging him toward the prison.

Nathaniel watched his grim silhouette leave, coldly saying, “Farewell, Romello. From now on, I’ll take on the responsibility of the Nicholls family. I won’t let you down.”

“Nathaniel!”

The man’s roar gradually faded away.

The smile on Nathaniel’s face vanished, leaving only endless indifference and immensel

Then, he scoffed and walked away.

On the day Romello was confirmed to be serving his sentence in prison, an all–out power struggle

broke out within the Nicholls family.

In the Nicholls residence, Marius, Gabrielle, and Nathaniel sat together in the dining hall for lunch.

Without Homato, the main seat camained empty, and none of them dared to sit in that position

The only sound in the dining room was the crisp clinking of utensils against the plates,

After some time, Marius tentatively asked, “Nathaniel, now that the family lacks a leader, do you have any thoughts?

Nathaniel smiled faintly and continued to eat his food casually.

“What thoughts could I have? It’s unlikely I’ll get that position. After all, you’re older than me, and I support you.”

Marius silently observed him, noticing his expression seemed natural when speaking.

“Nathaniel, do you really have no desire for the position?”

Nathaniel smiled and shook his head, saying, “I never covet things that don’t belong to me. Marius, don’t worry, Gabrielle and I will stand by your side if you end up in a dispute with our extended families.

Gabrielle nodded simply, enjoying the delicious food.

Marius felt considerably relieved as he watched his obedient younger siblings.

“Nathaniel, I’m glad you think that way. From now on, you can relax at home without any worries.”

Nathaniel nodded with a smile, then lowered his head to continue eating, concealing the dark glint In his eyes.

After the meal, he headed to E&S Haven again.

Ever since becoming Asher and Adora’s godfather, he had been visiting E&S Haven every day, buying lots of gifts for the twins, much to their excitement.

Coincidentally, Elliot also had a rare day off, so the two men spent time together playing with the babies in the nursery on the fourth floor.

One of them entertained Asher while the other played with Adora.

They did not interfere with each other, yet there was an inexplicable harmony between them.

After a while, Elliot turned to Nathaniel and casually asked, “I heard there’s been intense power struggles within the Nicholls family lately. Why do you still have time to come here every day? Shouldn’t you be planning at home?”

Nathaniel shook the rattle as he played with Adora, his blue eyes gleaming with joy.

Elliot probed further, “After all, they’re fighting to be the head of the family. Once you have the title, it’s like owning the entire Nicholls family, and all the members have to obey. Aren’t you tempted to take a bite of that big piece of meat?”

Nathaniel turned to him and met his gaze. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“I wish I could, but with my record from being released from a high–security prison, I have no power, influence, troops, or shares. What can I use to compete with them?”

Nathaniel jokingly added, “Are you perhaps willing to help me?”
