Chapter 620
“Did we make any progress on investigating Nathaniel’s mother?”
Ford shook his head. “There’s still no information from Dark Bell. It’s difficult to investigate matters in a foreign country. However, I have a feeling that Nathaniel’s mother’s identity is that simple, or she wouldn’t be so well hidden.”
Sheena fell silent for a moment. “It seems I’ll have to find a time to ask the Nicholls family myself.”
Last time, Yosef mentioned that the blue serum did not seem to be a product of their country. Sheena wondered if she could start with Nathaniel’s mother and try to find a cure for the 50%, bio–virus on
her own.
Ford seemed skeptical of the whole ordeal.
“Will Mr. Romello talk? He stood out among his brothers and took control of the family. He should be … capable.”
Sheena did not comment on that, saying, “Romello isn’t the only one in the Nicholls family. Arrange dinner for me with Gabrielle and Naomi tonight. Just tell them that it’s a treat from me.”
“Of course, Miss.”
After Ford left, Sheena sent a message to Elliot, letting him know she would not be coming home for dinner tonight.
After a few more hours of busy work, Sheena packed up and left as the end of the workday approached.
The two young girls, accustomed to the taste of five–star hotels, were taken by Sheena to a barbecue restaurant on the commercial street.
As soon as they entered the private room, the atmosphere became lively.
Gabrielle teased, “Nana, I thought you’d long forgotten about us old friends now that you and Mr. Jenkins are dating. Why did you suddenly invite us to dinner?”
Sheena just smiled, remaining silent.
Naomi chimed in, “It looks like your relationship with Elliot is going well! You’re glowing. Will I have a nephew or niece in a while?”
“What are you talking about? Hurry up and order!”
Sheena blushed slightly, lightly tapping Naomi’s forehead.
Subconsciously, she touched her belly. There was a time when she looked forward to having a child, but now, she did not want that. At the moment, Elliot’s illness was the most important thing.
Thinking of this, she casually asked Gabrielle, “Gabrielle, how’s Nathaniel doing lately?”
Gabrielle rested her chin in her hands, her face instantly clouded with worry.

“Please don’t bring that up. I never could’ve dreamed that Nathaniel would actually plot against you. Isn’t he still serving time in the high–security prison? Why are you suddenly asking about him?”
Sheena was surprised that Gabrielle was unaware of Nathaniel being released on bail.
Was Romello preventing any information about Nathaniel from reaching the Nicholls family?
Sheena calmly took a sip of tea before continuing, “I sometimes recall the days of visiting the Nicholls family as a child. I can’t help but think it’s such a shame that things have changed.”
Gabrielle sighed along, “Yea… Romello has had me learning in the company lately. I have fewer chances to meet my brothers and friends. As for Nathaniel, Romello won’t even let me visit him. I don’t know when I’ll get to see him.”
It was indeed Romello’s doing.
Sheena maintained her composure and went on, “Speaking of which, I’ve never heard about Nathaniel’s mother.”
“I haven’t seen her either. Dad met Auntie Kelly on a business trip to Laubabwe, and he accidentally had Nathaniel with her. Originally, they were going to get married when Dad returned to the country. I don’t know what happened in between.”
“When Dad came back, he only brought Nathaniel with him. Over the years, there haven’t been any photos or information about Auntie Kelly at home. Nathaniel doesn’t talk about her much either. If you hadn’t mentioned it, I might have even forgotten that Nathaniel is my half–brother.”
Sheena pondered for a moment, asking, “Kelly is just a name, right? What’s her last name? Is she still alive?” !
Gabrielle innocently shook her head. “I don’t know. I overheard her name by accident. These are all secrets of the Nicholls family. Don’t go spreading them around, okay?”
“Don’t worry.”
Naomi nodded in agreement.
At the barbecue restaurant, each table had a waiter to help customers with grilling.
When a handsome man walked into their private room carrying a tray of vegetables, both Gabrielle and Naomi were momentarily stunned.
Naomi, less pleased, even frowned.
“What are you doing here?”
