NovelEnglishChapter 258 That Is Eli
At Seabay Villa, Vivian breathed a sigh of relief upon picking Jonathan up. Then, without any hesitation, she
turned to Zachary and stated, “You need to compensate me.”
A check was handed over.
“I'm not an unreasonable person,” Zachary said, looking at the mother and child. For sreason, he felt a
sudden sense of loss.
In truth, when he first found out he had a son, he wasn’t upset. In fact, he was filled with anticipation.
Even though Jonathan was somewhat of a rascal, he loved the latter for it. The boy was smart enough, after all.
Vivian accepted the cheque. The money truly alleviated her financial pressures.
“Anyway, it's goodbye then, and may we never meet again.”
After Vivian finished speaking, she pulled Jonathan into the car.
The figures settled into a taxi. Unbeknownst to them, an intense gaze remained fixated on Jonathan from a black
sedan.
Inside the vehicle, shock was evident in Nathaniel’s eyes.

Mason cover and noticed it too. “Isn't that Eli?”
Nathaniel’s lips pursed into a tight line as he slowly spoke. “Follow them. I'm going to see Zachary,”
“Understood.”
Zachary hadn't expected Nathaniel to show up, assuming the latter was still preoccupied with the scandal.
“Nathaniel, don’t worry about it. It's just a woman, okay? There are plenty like Stella out there!”
Zachary placed a bottle of wine in front of him.
Nathaniel didn’t mention Stella to him. Instead, he asked, “The child that Vivian took away, has he been with you
these past few days?”
Zachary felt a bit awkward, touching his nose.
“It was all a misunderstanding.”
He sat down and recounted to Nathaniel how he had met Jonathan and mistakenly identified him as someone
else.
Nathaniel had deduced from the timeline and other pieces of evidence that the child they had just seen was not
Elliot, who had always lived in Spring Forest Manor.
At that moment, the mystery in his mind deepened further.
“You're saying his nis Jonathan, and he’s Vivian's son?”
“Mmm-hmm.”
Nathaniel stood up, preparing to leave.
Zachary hadn't expected him to leave in such a hurry, finding it somewhat peculiar. “What's going on?” he
asked.
Before Nathaniel departed, he said, “Don’t be fooled by Stella. She never saved you.”
After he finished speaking, he quickly walked away.
Zachary was left frozen on the spot.
He had known about Stella for a while now but could never bring himself to mention it to Nathaniel.
Judging from Nathaniel’s demeanor just now, does he no longer care about Stella?
Zachary made a phone call. “Where is Stella right now?”
The person over the line responded, “It appears that she was taken to a psychiatric hospital by Nathaniel.”

A psychiatric hospital?
A smirk tugged at the corner of Zachary’s mouth.
“That place is indeed suitable for her. Let her stay there for a while.”
Upon returning to the apartment Vivian had rented, Jonathan took in the cramped living space, then turned to
Vivian. “Ms. Kennedy, if you're ever in need of money, don’t hesitate to tell me.”
It was the first tthat Vivian had ever heard a boy speak to her in such a manner.
“Jon, do you know that the last man who spoke tolike this had ulterior motives?”
She paused for a moment, reaching out to pinch Jonathan's cheek, but he dodged her.
“But | know you're not like those worthless men. Once you've grown up, you can buya big house, alright?”
Jonathan knew she didn’t believe him, for he was just a child after all.
“Alright.”
After agreeing, he decided to give Vivian smoney that night. After all, he would be staying at her place for
the next few days.
Following that, Vivian was contemplating how to send Jonathan to Cecilia's side.
She was unaware that she was being watched from outside her house. &
