Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 2559

Nibel looked up, surprise showing in his eyes along with hints of sharpness.

"Why not?" His voice was mellow but also questioning.

There was unmistakable oppression.

I smiled slightly. “You think too highly of me. If Theo is as strong as you mentioned, it’ll be useless even if I were to join you. I can't go up against him with my power now.”

“I looked for you because you understand him. You’ve been by his side for so many years. You should have a great understanding of how he makes his decisions.”

“If that were true, we wouldn’t have divorced.” I turned my face away, a sour feeling spreading through my heart.

Nibel did not take what I said seriously and tilted his head. “Believe me, you’re the person who knows him best. I would be more confident if I had your help. Do it not only for yourself, President Lane, but also your mother.”

Each word of his carried a deep meaning that forced me to ponder upon them.

Thomas Grant humiliated my mother and smote my mother’s last straw of hope.

As long as I thought of this, the resentment in my heart would surge uncontrollably, instantly filling my entire being.

“Your resentment is deserved. Teaching the Yards and Grants a lesson would be the way to avenge your mother.” The corners of Nibel’s lips tugged into a sneer. His blue eyes on me were filled with anticipation.

My throat bobbed, and I gulped. “How do you want me to help you?”

Nibel picked up the wine and filled the glass beside him. “I will have a plan as long as you agree to a partnership with me. You just need to work with me.”

He said that just as he filled the glass. He then picked it up and passed it to me.

I reached my hand out to accept it. Then, Nibel raised his own glass toward me. “To a happy partnership?”

After hesitating for a moment, I finally chose to work with him.

Our glasses clinked.

I had agreed to partner up with Nibel.

Exiting the private room, I was feeling very complicated. It was the pain that came after knowing the truth. I was trembling as I walked and bumped into someone in the bar.
