Chapter 577: Play With Eli
Jonathan asked Elliot to explain what had happened. A few minutes later, he finished listening and fell silent.
โHe really isnโt bad at times,โ Jonathan finally said.
โRight?โ Elliotโs eyes shone with anticipation.
Jonathan nodded. โHmm, but what does that signify? He even sent someone to rescue me once.โ
Elliot felt a sense of loss. โSo, are you still unwilling to accept him?โ
Jonathan was silent for a long time before saying, โIf Mommy forgives him, then I will forgive him too.โ Raising us hadn't been easy for Mommy; we shouldn't forget her struggles just because he seems better now. We must remember her hardships overseas.
โAll right, itโs a deal.โ Elliot decided to help Nathaniel and win Cecilia back.
Jonathan hung up, intending to sleep. Zachary entered, tossing him a backpack. โStop lazing around. Itโs time for school.โ
Jonathan, almost forgetting he was a preschooler, sat up in a daze and began to dress. Zachary found this amusing. Heโd always been diligent; this laziness was new. โWhat were you up to last night? You still seem half asleep.โ
Jonathan replied, โNothing,โ piquing Zacharyโs curiosity. Zachary personally drove him to school, assigning numerous bodyguards to prevent another incident.
At the school entrance, Jonathan saw Felix waiting. He stepped out of the car. Felix rushed toward him, scrutinizing him. โAre you Jon?โ he asked uncertainly.
โWhat do you think?โ Jonathan replied, speechless.
Dante approached. โJon, Felix said someone who looks exactly like you visited their house, claiming to be his uncleโs son.โ
Felix became angry. โHis name is Eli or something. Heโs so annoying.โ
Jonathan wasnโt offended; even he found his brother difficult at times. โAll right, letโs head to class.โ
Walking with Jonathan, Felix said, โJon, you need to put that guy in his place. Once Iโm Rainsworth Group chairman, Iโll make you general manager.โ
Jonathan patted his shoulder teasingly. โBut what if I want to be chairman?โ
Felix was speechless. He spent class thinking about Elliot, consumed by the urge to punch him. Since Jonathan wouldn't help, he decided to bring some boys to Nathanielโs house to rough up Elliot.
After school, Felix gave the boys toy cars and instructed his driver to go to Daltonia Villa. The driver hesitated, calling Felixโs parents. Miranda, surprisingly, agreed. โYou can send Felix there. Thatโs where his uncle lives. Heโs just going to play with Eli.โ Elliot wasn't well; Miranda thought some trouble might actually be a good thing. They were just kids; they wouldn't bear responsibility.
Chapter 578: Where Is My Son
Bored at home, Elliot went for a stroll and encountered Felix and two children at his doorstep. Felix said, โCome out, Eli.โ
Elliot saw they weren't there for a friendly visit. His poor health made fighting impossible. โWere you calling me? Why should I listen to you?โ he said, rolling his eyes.
Felix became angrier. โYou unwanted child, how dare you glare at me!โ
Elliotโs gaze turned icy. I must teach these kids a lesson!
โFelix, do you dare to come in here alone?โ Felix, believing the child was only similar to Jonathan, thought he could win a fight. โOf course!โ
He entered with the other children, the security guard letting them through since Elliot knew Felix. Felix clenched his fists, ready to attack, but Elliot dodged him. โThere are people watching. Letโs go somewhere secluded.โ
Felix realized this was true. Following Elliot to the artificial hill, the two young children quickly disappeared from view.
