The Rise Of The Unwanted Girl (Athena) novel Chapter 431

Chapter 431

Nicolas’s brows were tightly furrowed. He glanced at Eloise, who was looking at him with a worried expression.

In contrast, Henry appeared much calmer, as if no matter how shocking Nicolas’s idea might be, he would remain unfazed.

“Mother, go check on Cedric. He’s been crying non–stop these past few days. Fiona is completely exhausted from taking care of him.”

Eloise’s heart trembled. He was clearly trying to send her away.

She hesitated to leave, but Henry spoke up. “Go. You staying here will only make things more complicated. It won’t help Matthew at all.”

Having received the order, Eloise didn’t dare remain. She could only rise and leave.

As soon as she was gone, Nicolas returned to the main topic. “We only need to stall Athena. And I happen to have a plan.”

“What plan?” Henry asked, puzzled.

Hearing such callous words, Henry was so furious he almost slapped him. “Shut up! Nothing good ever comes out of your mouth. Cedric is my legitimate grandson!”

Henry valued Cedric deeply and naturally didn’t want him harmed.

“Don’t worry, Father. Cedric is my own flesh and blood. I’ll be careful,” Nicolas said, clenching his fists. If it weren’t absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t dream of doing this to his own son.

He added, “It’s only a few days of illness. It won’t do any real harm.”

At the Monson Residence.

She knew the Osborne family was powerful and would never allow the Justice Ministry to arrest Willow. Even so, she would fight to the end.
