When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him Novel

Chapter 596 The Cunning Child

Afterward, Elliot was heard asking, “Are you talking to me? Why should I listen to you?”

“You unwanted child! How dare you glare at me?”

“Felix, do you dare to face me alone? Have you got the guts to step in here by yourself?”

“Why would I be afraid?”

A few recorded sentences were all it took for everyone to understand the events of that day..

Felix hadn’t expected that Elliot would actually record the conversation, and neither had Miranda and the others.

“That’s a fake recording! Fake!” Felix looked at Niel tearfully. “Great–grandpa, this unwanted child. is deceiving you.”

Unwanted child… That’s the term of address used in the recording. Even if Niel wanted to play favorites, he no longer had a reason to do so.

“Mr. and Mrs. Leighton, you all heard it, didn’t you? Felix was the one who started the trouble himself,” Niel said.

When Miranda’s parents arrived, they came specifically to seek justice for Felix, and naturally, they would not accept this outcome.

Derek scoffed. “What can a few recorded sentences prove? It’s quite possible that this kid deliberately made Felix say those things, recorded it, and then played it for us. It’s clear that he’s truly cunning!”

The folks from the Leighton family were masters at distorting the truth.

Cecilia somewhat regretted confronting these unreasonable people.

“Are you suggesting that a four–year–old child could fake a recording? Isn’t that just absurd?” Cecilia stated icily.

“Who knows? Maybe his mother taught him,” Miranda immediately replied.

At that moment, not only was Elliot being slandered by them, but Cecilia was also dragged into the mess.

Cecilia was about to argue, but Nathaniel firmly stopped her.

Following that, everyone saw a bodyguard approaching with a flash drive in his hand.

The flash drive was activated, revealing all the events that had transpired at the mansion’s entrance that day. The audio was crystal clear, mirroring the recording stored within Elliot’s phone watch.

That wasn’t even the main point. The crux of the matter was that Nathaniel had someone play the recorded phone call between the driver and Miranda from that day.

Inside, it was clear that Miranda knew Felix was leading a few others to confront Elliot. However, not only did she not intervene, but she also encouraged the kids to go.

After everything had been aired, there was a deafening silence.

Nathaniel’s voice was not loud, yet it intimidated everyone. “Is there anything else you all want to make a fuss about?”

Faced with the ironclad evidence, Derek and Velma were left utterly speechless.

Upon noticing the silence, Nathaniel continued, “Since you all understand what has transpired. perhaps someone should start kneeling outside.”

In a flash, Felix retreated into a corner, casting a pleading look toward Niel for help.

Immediately, Niel stepped in to mediate the situation. “Let’s just drop it, Nathaniel. Felix just got out of the hospital.”

Nathaniel found it somewhat amusing. Felix doesn’t need to apologize on his knees because he just got discharged from the hospital. How about Eli? Hasn’t Eli also just come out of the hospital?

Nathaniel hadn’t gone over for the purpose of having the child apologize.

“Adrian and Miranda, I’m offering you a choice. Either one of you kneels, or Felix does,” Nathaniel said.

Felix was most terrified of Nathaniel’s anger. At that moment, he was trembling with fear, and tears were about to fall from his eyes. “Uncle Nathaniel, please don’t be angry. Mom told me to. do it…”

“You’re talking nonsense!” Miranda hadn’t expected such an outcome that day. “Nathaniel, it would be inappropriate for us to kneel and apologize to someone younger. I assure you, I will properly guide Felix in the future.”

Despite saying those words, Miranda had no intention of kneeling. Who does Nathaniel think he is, demanding that I kneel before him? Am I just supposed to comply?

“Are you sure you won’t kneel?” Nathaniel asked again.

Miranda turned her face away, refusing to speak. Adrian was even more stern. “Nathaniel, don’t push your luck. The only reason we’re tolerating you now is because you’re blind.”
