When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1571 Protect His Loved Ones

Only by becoming stronger and stronger could one protect their loved ones.

Nathaniel understood this deeply. After dropping Cecilia and the others off at the company, he headed alone to Imminence Corporation. Recently, his team had uncovered plans by Robert to stir up trouble, leaving Nathaniel uneasy.

Without hesitation, he crushed the new company Robert and his ragtag group had formed.

Though Robert had yet to take any overt action, his silence was unsettling.

When Nathaniel arrived at the office that day, he was greeted by an unexpected sight-Niel, leaning on his cane, waiting in Nathaniel's office. Hearing footsteps behind him, Niel turned around, his sharp eyes locking onto Nathaniel. "Nathaniel, you're here."

Nathaniel walked in directly. "Grandpa."

Niel nodded and then took a seat.

He looked up at his stern-faced grandson without a hint of affection.

"Nathaniel, your company is even grander than Orion Corporation."

"Grandpa, you flatter me," Nathaniel replied politely before cutting to the chase. "What brings you here today?"

Niel didn't mince words. "Lately, your uncle and cousin have both come to me, saying you've pushed them so hard they can't even afford to eat."

Nathaniel knew he wouldn't show up without a reason. As expected, he was here on behalf of Robert and Adrian.

Nathaniel couldn't tell if his grandfather was genuinely unaware or pretending to be.

Was he oblivious to the chaos his eldest son's family had caused?noveldrama

"When has the Rainsworth family ever been so poor they couldn't afford to eat? Why haven't they told me? If they're truly struggling, they can come to me. I'd be happy to lend them some money," Nathaniel said with a fake smile. Seeing his attitude, Niel got straight to the point.

"Let's settle this. Give your uncle and cousin positions at Imminence Corporation. If not here, then at one of the branch offices. It's better than them sitting idle, isn't it?"

So that was the real purpose behind his visit.

Nathaniel knew all too well that bringing Robert and Adrian into the company would only lead to trouble. They wouldn't work sincerely but would instead create endless problems. "That won't do. My company doesn't employ useless people," Nathaniel replied flatly, rejecting the request outright.

Niel hadn't expected Nathaniel to

refuse him so bluntly, and his expression darkened with anger. "Nathaniel, don't forget where you came from. If not for being born into the Rainsworth family, how could you have achieved what you have today?"

Nathaniel's gaze grew colder.

"Grandpa, Imminence Corporation was built from the ground up by me. As for Orion Corporation, I

reacquired it after it was

mismanaged. If you continue to net

favor Uncle Robert's family, don't

blame me for cutting ties with you entirely." , to

Over the years, Robert's family had used every trick in the book to undermine Nathaniel, especially during his and Nicholas' youth.

The damage done to Nicholas' health was largely their doing.

"Fine, fine! Consider me without a grandson then," Niel spat before storming out in anger.

As soon as Niel left, Nathaniel instructed his team to keep an eye on him.

Sure enough, after leaving, Niel quickly contacted Robert and Adrian.

What annoyed Nathaniel even more was seeing Nicholas among them.

"Nicholas truly knows how to make things difficult," Nathaniel muttered.

"Mr. Nicholas is enabling the villains. Has he forgotten who caused his health problems in the first place?" Mason sighed.

Nathaniel glanced at him. "Your

wedding is coming up. Focus on your family and take a break from work. I've arranged for a bonus from the finance department. It should

cover your wedding expenses."

It was the first time Mason had seen his boss show such a human side.

"Mr. Rainsworth, you're the best."

"Get out."

"Yes, yes."
