When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1785 A Lesson

Upon hearing Jonathan's admission, Elliot feared that Nathaniel would scold

them, so he immediately pleaded, "I'm sorry, Dad, we promise not to misbehave again. Please don't blame Jon."

Nathaniel stared intently at the two individuals, his facial expression remained utterly unchanged.

"You guys don't have to apologize to me."

Both kids were taken aback upon hearing the remark.

"Both of you did the right thing. When someone tries to bully you, it's only natural to fight back. However," Nathaniel paused before continuing, "you're too young. If something like this happens in the future, make sure to inform me first. Secondly, you're all too careless in your actions, making it easy for others to see through your plans."

After hearing all this, Jonathan couldn't help but nod in agreement. "You're right. We didn't think it through earlier."

"Be more careful in the future," Nathaniel warned.

Both children nodded in unison.

Their fondness for Nathaniel was now elevated to the next level.

Nathaniel looked at the two younger versions of himself, then asked, "What did Adrian intend to do to you?"

Jonathan shook her head. "Actually, we weren't really sure what he was up to. All we knew was that he was attempting to trick us, saying he was taking us to his place for ice cream. I had a feeling he was up to no good."

"Yes, yes, I can vouch for it. H was trying to deceive us just now," Elliot added.

Ice cream?

Nathaniel couldn't quite grasp what Adrian was planning, but thankfully, both children were unharmed.

"Let's not mention this matter to your mother; it would only cause her unnecessary worry."

"Alright."

Meanwhile, Adrian was in the hospital, screaming in agony.

Miranda rushed over and seeing him in this state, she couldn't help but express her disdain.

"What on earth happened to you? Weren't you supposed to deal with the two kids? How did you end up in such a state?"

Adrian had finally pieced together the sequence of events. Gritting his teeth, he exclaimed, "It's all because of those two rascals!"

He clenched his fists, saying, "Miranda, I was so close to getting them, but those two cunning brats nearly got me killed."

"Aren't they just kids? Why can't you even deal with them?"

"You don't understand, they're not just ordinary children." Adrian knew his words sounded unconvincing, but that was the reality.

Miranda was in no mood to speak to him further. After leaving the hospital room, she called her lover.

"It seems we can't rely on Adrian anymore. He's utterly useless, outsmarted by two kids, and now, he's even broken his leg."

The person on the other end of the phone first comforted her, then said, "Don't worry. If it really doesn't work out, just forget it."

"How could we just let it go? The Rainsworth family's vast estate, or even the wealth in the old man's hands alone, is something an

average person couldn't earniol

lifetimes." Miranda was not willing to give up just like that.

"What can we do about it? We can no longer rely on that good-for-nothing Adrian anymore,” the man said in a languid tone.

Miranda clenched her fists. "If all else fails, you have to help me. We need

find a way to ensure they

never have any claim to the inheritance."

However, the man fell silent.

"Miranda, believe neither of us

should handle this matter directet

just in case something were to go wrong. It would be better to have another person to do it." noveldrama

Miranda realized that the man had backed down, and a wave of disappointment

washed over her instantly.

"Didn't you keep saying you love me?"

"Of course I love you, but shouldn't we also consider our future?"

Miranda stopped talking and ended the call.

Now, she had no one left to rely on.

Just when she was wearing a frown, a sound echoed from behind her.
