SWNOVELS Chapter 659
Chapter 659 Why Did You Not Bring Jon Back
Niel didn’t expect them to return at that time. He responded, “Mhm.” Then, he turned to Nathaniel. “Nathaniel, why didn’t you bring Jon back with you?”
He was still hoping to see his other great–grandson.
People around him already learned that Jonathan was exceptionally intelligent. The last time he faced danger, he maintained an unwavering calm like Nathaniel.
“Jon has been staying with the Sinclair family recently. He’ll return in a few days,” said Nathaniel.
“Still with the Sinclair family, huh? Old Mr. Sinclair really has no shame. He doesn’t have a great- grandson of his own, so he clings onto mine. When Niel spoke those words, there was an undeniable sense of pride hidden in his eyes.
Meanwhile, George sneezed.
Niel once again addressed Nathaniel and the others, saying, “Please sit down. We’ll all have dinner together in a bit.”
“All right.” The family had gathered in the living room.
With that, Derek and Velma didn’t feel appropriate to ask for money or help again.
Miranda was also getting anxious. She tugged at Adrian’s hand.
Adrian had no choice but to brace himself and continue, “Grandpa, about Miranda’s parents…
Only then did Niel remember. “When Nicholas arrives later, talk to him. I’m old now and don’t have the energy to care about such matters.”
He had a soft spot for Felix. After all, Felix had grown up by his side since childhood, but he was no fool.
He knew Leighton Group was an outsider. If he casually agreed to help, and it somehow turned out to be detrimental to Rainsworth Group, the loss would outweigh the gain.
Upon hearing that, Derek and Velma felt even more embarrassed.
Just at that moment, Elliot spoke. “Great–grandpa, did they come to ask you for a loan?”
Before Niel could respond, Elliot turned toward Derek and Velma, pretending as if he had long. since let bygones be bygones. “I still have a few hundred in my piggy bank. Do you need it? If so, I can lend it to you.”
Derek and Velma instantly flushed with embarrassment.
They weren’t interested in just a few hundred.
Velma said with a sarcastic tone, “Even one of Felix’s toys is worth more than your piggy bank.”
Nathaniel spoke up. “So, you’re saying you didn’t come to borrow money?”
Velma choked up.
Cecilia finally understood the reason Nathaniel had brought her there.
Because Nathaniel had given her a heads–up. Elena knew her grandson was coming and had arrived early. From a distance, she heard Velma making sarcastic remarks about her own grandson, which instantly soured her mood.
She walked in wearing high heels.
“Mrs. Leighton, what exactly are you implying? Eli harbors no grudges and is even kind enough to lend
you money. Why are you comparing him to Felix?” Elena was not someone to be trifled
with.
She didn’t show the slightest respect for Derek and Velma in front of everyone. “Let me tell you, Felix is not even worthy of being a shoe–bearer for Eli!”
Following that, silence descended upon the room.
Elena wasn’t just making idle talk with those words
They were all children of the Rainsworth family, so naturally, she couldn’t make a comparison of their paternal family, but she could with the maternal family
The Griffiths family was far more influential and powerful than the Leighton family. Elena even had seven brothers in her family.
They were Nathaniel’s and Nicholas uncles, which made them the granduncles of Elliot.
The Griffiths family had numerous sons, all of whom were exceptionally talented. Therefore, when Elena was in the Rainsworth family, even Niel had to show her some respect.
“Mdm. Elena, how could you say such a thing?” Velma stammered, struggling to form a sentence after a while.
They naturally didn’t dare to offend Elena.
Miranda and Adrian did not dare to utter a single word.
It was the first time Cecilia saw Elena defending her own son, which warmed her heart. She felt happy for both Elliot and Jonathan. Although their granny isn’t the kindest, they have a grandma who will always stand up for them.
