Chapter 950
Nathaniel smiled wryly. “It was worth it to risk being discovered by Elliot and braved all sorts of dangers to come back just to receive your concern.”
Romello gestured for Nathaniel to sit in the nearby seat, perhaps feeling a bit relieved to hear how badly Elliot had treated him.
“Thank you, Romello,”
Romello asked, “So, what’s your plan now that you’re back? Are you willing to accept what Elliot did to you? While you suffered, he’s thriving in his career, love life, and family.
“Of course not!”
Nathaniel clenched his fists in front of Romello, his eyes filled with intense hatred.
“Romello, I came back to ask for your help. Elliot took away my woman, left me with nothing, and caused me immense pain. I can’t even return home! If I don’t kill him, I won’t find peace! As long as you’re willing to help me, I’ll do anything you ask, even if it means risking my life!”
Romello stirred his soup thoughtfully. Soon, a troubled expression appeared on his face.
“Nathaniel, I genuinely want to help you, but Elliot has suspended my duties at the National Investigation Bureau. I’m stuck at home awaiting further investigation and notice. I’m truly sorry, but there’s nothing I can do.”
“Elliot did that? I can’t believe he’s troubling you too!”
Nathaniel gritted his teeth, his eyes burning with hatred and resentment.
“Romello, you’ve been the deputy chief for so long. Don’t you want to strip away that‘ deputy‘ title one day, crush Elliot under your feet, and reclaim what’s rightfully yours?”
Romello remained silent.
Of course, he wanted to. It was to the point of madness, yearning to dominate and crush Elliot!
Yet, as he looked at his half–brother sitting across from him, his eyes slightly narrowed in thought, pondering something unknown.
Nathaniel continued his persuasion, “Romello, I’m your brother. I have nothing now and

can only rely on you. I’ll do everything in my power to help you, even if it means risking this life of mine, just to help you gain control of the National Investigation Bureau!”
They shared a common enemy, and one more person meant better chances of victory.
Romello smiled as he reached out his hand toward Nathanfel.
Nathaniel instinctively leaned in, allowing Romello to pat his face gently.
“Nathaniel, you’ve truly matured a lot over this past year. I’m proud of you.”
Nathaniel lowered his gaze obediently, his expression unreadable.
“I promise you, I’ll find a way to deal with Elliot,” Romello assured him.
“Thank you, Romello!” Nathaniel replied gratefully.
“Alright, after your long journey, let’s get you settled in the guest room for tonight. Rest up, and I’ll have the servants clean up your previous room.
“Thank you so much, Romello, for still offering the Nicholls family as my refuge.”
Romello smiled warmly, saying, “We’ve had our differences in the past, especially during the power struggle, and I’ve disciplined you too, but Nathaniel, you’ll always be my beloved brother.”
Nathaniel’s weathered face looked more composed when he smiled now compared to a
year ago.
“I was foolish before. Romello, I appreciate your forgiveness and understanding.”
Romello nodded in satisfaction. “Get some rest then.”
“Alright, Romello, enjoy your meal. I’ll head upstairs.”
“Okay.”
As Nathaniel left the dining room and headed toward the staircase, his smile vanished, and his expression turned cold.
The spacious dining room now felt eerily quiet, with only Romello eating alone. However, he did not mind, contentedly enjoying his meal.
A few minutes later, he called for his bodyguard and whispered, “Find out where Nathaniel went before coming to the Nicholls residence and whether he had any encounters with Elliot beforehand.”
