Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 228

Back in his younger days, Nathan was full of vim and vigor, hell-bent on making a fortune for Janice and the kids. Back then, making money was a piece of cake compared to now. Riding the wave of the times, he gradually amassed a grand fortune, and now he's sitting on a mountain of money.

Nathan was certain that those who didn't want Lucy to return started their shenanigans only in the recent two or three years, because before that, his wealth wasn't such a jaw-dropping figure. Even when he mentioned that his fortune would only be inherited by his kids, nobody batted an eye.

But now that he's rolling in money and everyone wanted a piece of his wealth, they were starting to act all high and mighty.

If his wealth was distributed, everyone at Blue Corporation would be laughing all the way to the bank.

Ah, sometimes having too much money can be a real pain in the neck.

Keith asked, "Whose fault is this?"

"You're trying to pin this on me, right? Yeah, you're right, it's my fault; I'm too loaded, and my status is too alluring. If I hadn't been so successful from the get-go, you guys wouldn't have to deal with all these issues."

Keith was left speechless.

"Are you planning on staying or going?" Nathan changed the subject.

The strained father-son relationship was his own doing.

If he continued on that topic, he was afraid he might tick Keith off.

"Since you've decided to send them all to get Lucy, I don't have to worry about the company. Of course, I'll go with Janice and Lucy."

He wanted to strengthen the bond between the siblings.

Seeing the interaction between Lucinda and Ike, Keith felt that he and Lucy were still too distant. He envied Ike and hoped that one day Lucy could be as comfortable around him.

"Lucy might lose her happiness when she returns; don't rush over there; let her enjoy a few more days of bliss. And Janice, you've seen it; she's getting better even though she's not fully recovered yet."

Nathan fell silent. After a while, he gently said, "Go have your meal. I'll handle the matter of bringing Lucy back. Since you're heading to Pinehurst, don't dawdle. Head straight to Pinehurst after your meal and don't linger around; especially be careful of the Porter family's spies."

The person he referred to from the Porter family wasn't Madeleine but her father, Mr. Porter, the head of the Porter family.

The Porter family rose to power during the tumultuous times by dubious means. Apart from accumulating wealth, their ruthless nature was also well preserved.

Even after several generations, the Porter family, although now legit, hadn't lost its clout; in fact, it's grown stronger. In Skywatch, they've swallowed up many companies, big and small. Any companies that crossed paths with them would either be forced to relocate or be bought over.

Despite the Blue family being the most powerful in Skywatch, the Porter family was always hot on their heels. Madeleine's close relationship with Nathan was because Mr. Porter wanted to infiltrate the Blue family through her and gradually make the Blue family a part of the Porter family.

Nathan thought, It’s about time to deal with the Porter issue.

He was worried that if he couldn't handle the Porter family, this issue might pose a bigger problem for his children.

If the Porter family always wanted to meddle with the Blue family, why couldn't he turn the tables and meddle with the Porter family with Madeleine's help?

"Got it," Keith replied, then got up to leave.

"Take good care of Janice." Nathan reminded him.

Keith, who was already a few steps away, turned back to give Nathan a deep look, then nodded in agreement to Nathan's request.
