The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 1220

Mila scoffed, "I knew it. That Kari is trouble. One minute she's with Nathan, and the next she's cozied up with Ronald, even got him to cut ties with the Malone family... What kind of witchcraft did she use?"

Mila never had a soft spot for Kari, yet Nathan, bless his heart, was head over heels for her.

"Prepare a gift for Kari," she instructed. "Something to remind her of her place. She better not set her sights on anything that's not hers, especially not Nathan!"

Now that she's married, she should behave. If she as much as thinks about Nathan again, Mila was not going to let it slide.

At dinner, Samuel Jarvis found out Nathan was back.

"Finally came to your senses?" he asked, partly amused, partly relieved.

Nathan was his blood, after all. How could he not want him close by?

Yet Nathan had chosen to trail behind Isaac, content with being an assistant, never once considering taking over the family business.

"Yes."

Mila didn't mention Kari's marriage, vaguely adding, "Honey, Nathan's grown now. Maybe it's time we talked about his role in the company?"

Mila had been waiting for Nathan's return, eager to keep him close.

Samuel glanced at his eldest son, Jacob: "Jacob, what do you think?"

Jacob, his son from his first marriage, had climbed the corporate ladder to become president. A hard man to please, especially where Mila was concerned, but he adored his half-brother Nathan.

"If he's willing, he can start from the bottom," Jacob said, sticking to his principles. "Just like everyone else in the family."

"That's not fair!"

Mila frowned. "Nathan is your blood brother. He should at least start from management..."

"What, you want him to jump straight to president?"

Jacob shot back, a steely glint in his eye. "Or maybe take my seat?"

Mila's face fell, but before she could retort, Samuel cut in.

"Jacob's right. Everyone starts from the bottom. No exceptions."

Mila was dissatisfied. How could her beloved son start from the bottom?

After dinner, Mila barged into Nathan's room: "Nathan?"

He had just woken up.
