Chapter 1009
Kot paused in his play with the baby, meeting Nathaniel’s gaze for a moment before quickly feturning to his usual demeanor.
In response to the probing question, Elliot neither agreed nor refused but instead countered, “How do you want me to help?”
Nathaniel remained unfazed, maintaining a casual composure on his face.
“I’ve never been in a position of power before, so I lack experience. You, on the other hand, are the experienced one. Of course I’ll follow
your advice.”
Elliot fell silent, focusing on entertaining Asher.
Nathaniel was patient, showing no signs of urgency as he continued to play with Adora.
Later that evening…
Sheena had been working late the past few days, focusing on planning the upcoming Dorvell Corporation’s bidding conference.
Although Nell assured her that the bidding conference was just a formality and that the Lawson Group would be the chosen winner, Sheena still felt the need to strive for perfection and ensure a
fair victory.
Returning from her study to the bedroom, Sheena rubbed her sore shoulders and neck.
Elliot was sitting on the bed, playing with his phone. When he saw her enter the room, he quickly. slipped on his slippers and lifted her onto the bed.
After settling cross–legged on the bed, he placed Sheena on his lap.
Then, Elliot tirelessly massaged her shoulders, back, and legs.
Sheena closed her eyes, basking in the comfort of his touch.
After a few minutes of massage, she began to feel rejuvenated.
As Elliot continued massaging her, his thoughts suddenly drifted, and he recalled Nathaniel’s
discussion earlier in the nursery.
He felt it was necessary to seek Sheena’s opinion.
“Honey, Nathaniel has been visiting our home frequently lately, and there have been intense power struggles within the Nicholls family. He seems to be interested in having me help him acquire shares. What do you think?”
Sheena opened her eyes and turned to him, asking, “What do you think?”

ained silent for a long time before responding, “You already have your own thoughts on this matter, so why bother asking me?
Elliot’s hand continued to knead Sheera’s shoulder, but his mind was tangled in indecision.
The grudges from the past were already a thing of the past.
This time, Nathaniel returned and lent a helping hand. In return, he even took a beating.
As compensation, Nathaniel made a request: as long as it was within his capabilities, they should
However, Elliot still harbored some reservations toward Nathaniel.
Sheena seemed to sense what was on his mind and sighed, analyzing the situation seriously.
“With Romello imprisoned, the Nicholls Group has suffered setbacks. Now is the time for a reliable leader to stabilize the situation. Nathaniel excels in all aspects, whereas Marius might not be suitable for the role. He’s too weak–willed and soft–spoken to take on such a big responsibility. As for the others from their extended families, they’re not easy to deal with. Giving them power would likely lead to Gabrielle and the others being ousted from the Nicholls residence in no time.”
Elliot remained silent, looking at Sheena in his arms, surprised that she had already considered
these factors.
Sheena continued, “Considering Nathaniel’s assistance this time and his role as Asher and Adora’s godfather, we should help him out as a gesture of goodwill. Moreover, I heard from Howard that if Nathaniel gains power, he and Phoebe can finally get engaged and live together openly. So, giving Nathaniel power would be beneficial for everyone. How about trusting him this time?”
