NovelGoldChapter 250 Nathan found himself trapped in a nightmarish scenario, having been pushed into marrying into the Jones family by the old, stubborn head of the household. He becthe talk of the town, a son-in-law everyone whispered about and looked down upon.
This humiliation was a thorn in his side, an indignity he could never quite swallow.
"If Adah truly loved me," Nathan thought bitterly, "she should have marriedwith the Jones Corporation as her dowry. Instead, I was the one forced to settle in, suffering this disgrace." He consoled himself with the knowledge that he had been farsighted enough to eliminate that old tyrant. Otherwise, he would have spent his life with his head bowed, trampled underfoot.
The more Nathan dwelled on it, the more his anger flared, burning like an untamed wildfire.
Over the years, he had provided Adah with the best of everything, treating her with perfect kindness and generosity. Now that their precious daughter was in trouble, it was her turn to repay him.

"Honey, you're finally here." His voice carried just the right amount of weariness and melancholy. In the past, Adah, who professed to love him dearly, would have immediately asked with concern upon seeing his troubled face.
This would have been the perfect moment to reveal the news about Vanessa's arrest.
But today, Adah clutched a few sheets of paper tightly in her hand, her eyes as cold as ice, piercing him with an unyielding stare.
Nathan paused, assuming she was just overwhelmed with grief due to her broken leg, too preoccupied to notice his expression of sorrow.
Deciding against subtlety, he sighed heavily and continued, "Vanessa was arrested, darling. We have to get her out. She's never faced hardship like this, and prison is no place for her." He rubbed his temples with his fingers, putting on a show of exhaustion and distress.
Adah's eyes reddened instantly at his words.
Vanessa couldn't handle suffering? And her daughter Claire could? Rage surged through Adah like a tidal wave, consuming her entirely. She asked coldly, "How do you plan to save Vanessa?" Nathan frowned, sensing something was off about Adah's demeanor. Why was she addressing his beloved daughter so formally? This wretched woman, breaking her leg had only made her temper worse.
Hmph! Once he drained her of every last penny, she'd be of no use to him anymore.
A housewife for over twenty years, no property, no savings, with a son in jail and a daughter who despised her-let's see how she manages then.
She'd find herself homeless, reduced to begging on the streets.
A woman without a hin this world was little more than a plaything for men.
Ha ha ha- Nathan reveled in his spiteful thoughts, his face betraying none of his inner ugliness.

Feeling better, Nathan ignored Adah's icy demeanor and cleared his throat. "Darling, the company went bankrupt under the pressure.
and my assets have been frozen. myassets from Foster & Co., You're the only one who can save Vanessa now. You still have sshares in your name, right? I was thinking we could sell those, along with your luxury handbags and the villa your father left you. We could gather enough to get Vanessa out." "Money can always be earned again, but keeping the family together and happy is what's most important." His words dripped with sincerity, as if he truly desired nothing more than family unity. Yet the greed and calculation in his eyes were impossible to hide.
Adah instantly grasped Nathan's sinister intentions.
He wanted to bleed her dry, leave her with nothing, and push her into despair. Had she remained in the dark, she might have foglishly agreed to his proposal. But now, aware of Nathan's years of scheming against her, and his current attempt to use her money to save his illegitimate child with his mistress, Adah's fury burned her face red. She resembled an enraged beast, her entire being radiating danger. With a surge of strength, she propelled her wheelchair forward, rushing toward Nathan. Without a word, she slapped him hard across the face.
"Nathan, you bastard!" Adah screamed hoarsely, each word forced through clenched teeth.
"You deceivedfor years, madelose my father, my son, my daughter, and even took one of my kidneys Now you want to trickwe into saving your mistress's child, you despicable creature! I could kill you today-" As she yelled, she flailed her arms, appearing ready to tear Nathan apart in her rage.
