NovelEnglishChapter 1097
Chapter 1097 Elliot stared at Nathaniel across the table, his gaze icy and unyielding. His tone was chilly, no longer bothering to conceal his direct confrontation.
“Aren't you thinking too highly of yourself? If | can’t protect Sheena and our two kids, what makes you think your influence is stronger than mine?”
After all, Elliot had helped Nathaniel secure the position of head of the Nicholls family.
Currently, Nathaniel was still developing the Nicholls Group, and there were still many areas where he needed Sheena and Elliot’s assistance.
Moreover, Elliot's influence in Froania was deeply rooted, almost unshakable. With a flick of his finger, he could change any situation. Nathaniel’s power was incomparable to his.
Previously, Elliot had tolerated Nathaniel’s hints, though he always responded with a subtle retort. This time, he could not bear it anymore.
Considering Nathaniel’s role as the godfather of Asher and Adora, Elliot reluctantly refrained from labeling him as a schemer. Nathaniel’s face paled slightly, his eyes carrying a self-mocking sarcasm.
“Indeed, | overestimated myself. With you around, Sheena and the two kids will definitely be the happiest.”

Instead of offering the grilled pork belly to Sheena first, he placed it on Nathaniel’s plate.
“Eat more, lest you say we aren’t treating you well. Hopefully, the food will shut you up.”
Faced with Elliot's direct challenge, Nathaniel felt somewhat embarrassed, knowing he could not do
much against Elliot.
Sheena, observing the two men’s provocations, stifled a laugh.
“It's a rare honor in all of Froania to be served by Ell. Moreover, he grilled the meat himself. You should eat more. It’s really delicious.”
Nathaniel smiled and nodded, saying nothing more.
Sheena then shifted her gaze to Phoebe, catering to Phoebe’s preferences.
Nathaniel, noticing her greater concern for Phoebe than for himself, silently hung his head, chewing the tasteless grilled meat. Farlem.
