When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 763 Impure Motives

Jessica felt awkward. Clearly, she did not expect Nathaniel to forget about her. She explained, “It’s me, Jessica. We used to play together when we were kids. Aunt Elena even brought me to meet the year you got married.”

Elliot, standing aside, knew something was definitely off.

Regrettably, he just couldn’t for the life of him recall who Jessica was. If only Jon were here.

With that in mind, he suddenly covered his crotch. “Daddy, I need to pee.”

Upon hearing that Elliot needed to use the restroom, Nathaniel frowned. “Go ahead.”

“All right.”

Immediately, Elliot dashed toward the bathroom.

Once inside, he turned the water on full blast and called Jonathan.

It was still night where Jonathan was, and he was fast asleep until his younger brother’s call woke him up.

“Elliot! Do you have any idea what time it is over here?”

Jonathan was a perfect ten in many ways, but he could get a bit grumpy when his sleep was interrupted.

“Jon, don’t be mad. Tell me who’s Jessica,” His intuition told him that this woman was bad news.

Jonathan calmed down and started recalling the name. It didn’t take long for him to remember who it was.

“When Old Mr. Rainsworth was younger, he once saved an elder from the Quill family, and that elder’s granddaughter is Jessica. Because of this, the two elders became sworn brothers, and back in those days, the Rainsworths and Quills were very close. However, as the Rainsworths rose to prominence and the Quill family faded into obscurity, their interactions have become much less frequent,” explained Jonathan.

Ever since Jonathan discovered that he was Nathaniel’s son, he had thoroughly investigated the entire Rainsworth family.

Upon hearing this, Elliot clenched his tiny fists. “So she’s not Daddy’s cousin, I knew there was something odd about her.”

“What cousin? They don’t share any blood relation at all,” said Jonathan.

“Nothing. Go ahead and sleep. I have to go.” Immediately, Elliot ended the phone call.

He wore a somber expression. From the look of things, this supposed cousin seemed to have ill intentions.

Sure enough, when Elliot stepped out, he saw Jessica diligently brewing coffee for Jonathan, seemingly trying to win his favor.

“Nathaniel, my grandpa sent me to look after you. He always says that no hired help can match the care of family. And with Cecilia being pregnant, she can’t possibly tend to you. How could a household run properly without a woman around?” she said.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Nathaniel finally remembered this so–called cousin of his.

The relationship between the Quill and Rainsworth families was indeed solid. When he first took. over Rainsworth Group, the Quill family had lent a hand.

He was not the ungrateful type.

However, he thought agreeing to let Jessica stay was risky, especially since he was suffering from amnesia.

“No need,” he said, “Even though I can’t see, I’ve learned to take care of myself. I don’t need anyone else’s help.”

To his surprise, as soon as he finished his sentence, Jessica knelt before him.

Nathaniel furrowed his brows. “What are you doing?”

“If you won’t let me stay, I’ll kneel right here and won’t budge. Grandpa said Old Mr. Rainsworth saved his life, and now that you’re blind, it’s our duty to repay that debt. He told me I must stay, even if I have to serve as your slave,” she said earnestly.

Nathaniel, having weathered countless schemes in the business world, was unfazed. Jessica’s tactic didn’t tug at his heartstrings–instead, it only irritated him.

Apparently, her motives were far from pure.

Elliot also noticed she was up to no good.

How could I possibly let a young, attractive woman with ulterior motives stay with Daddy? TV always says men are easily swayed by their desires. If something happens between them, it would devastate Mommy. Worse yet, if she has Daddy’s children, I’d have to compete with them for the inheritance in the future!
