Chapter 412
"Mom! I'm sorry, I made a mistake! 1 thought we’d surely succeed, but this happened.I didn’t think that
Mel would be dumb enough to kidnap Lily.I had no idea she would do such a thing! Plus..."
Nathaniel remembered something and stole a glance at Eloise.
"I didn’t know that Frank was a drug addict.He has a terrible reputation worldwide!"
Nathaniel only found out everything after he did some investigation upon hearing that Melanie was in
trouble.
Everything made sense to him now.He knew the reason he could not get in touch with Melanie and lost
contact with Frank—the cops in Westwood had captured them.
"That’s enough.He lied to me, too."
Eloise rubbed her temples, her head throbbing at the mention of Frank.She was not careful enough
back then.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTo her knowledge, Frank was smart and talented.
He had also won several awards in the past.
Little did she know his creations were the results of plagiarism, and his reputation was terrible!
"He did it to you too..."
Nathaniel gasped and stared at Eloise in astonishment.His gaze made her uncomfortable, so she shot
him a glare.
"What the h*ll are you thinking? I didn’t know he was such a person and got tricked, too."
"Oh..."
Nathaniel breathed a sigh of relief, but his look riled Eloise up even more.
"What in the world is in that head of yours?"
"I-I want to do better and make you proud of me one day, but I seem to have ruined
everything,"иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмhe said, upset.
Eloise's tone softened as she took in his sad expression and words.
After all, she had always felt guilty for being absent all those years, mainly because he was her son.
"It’s okay.You didn’t ruin everything yet.At least this isn't the worst scenario for us.By the way, I heard
that you're courting Lily again?"
At the mention of that, Nathaniel became even more distressed.
"It’s not going smoothly?"
Eloise threw him a sideway glance as she did not see it as a huge problem.
"That’s expected of her.Do you remember how you treated her back then? How could she forgive you
so easily? The Lodge family is probably still mad at you too.You need to be patient about this."
"No matter how much patience I have, it’s useless! Mom, she’s in a relationship with someone else
already!"
Nathaniel interrupted Eloise and said unhappily.

Eloise was stunned.
"With who? I’ve heard nothing about this."
"I-It’s Alexander Russell."
The thought of Alexander made Nathaniel shiver in fear.He still could not believe it.
"Who?"
Eloise raised her voice, astounded.Her reaction was within Nathaniel's expectation.
Hence, he repeated, "You heard it right.It’s Alexander, the CEO of La Beauté Group and the current
head of the Russell family."
That stunned Eloise.
After a moment of silence, she managed to calm herself down.
"Who did you hear that from?"
Rumors were everywhere in this era.It was usual for fake news to go around to protect oneself or for
any other motives.
Eloise would not believe what Nathaniel said so quickly.
"I saw it myself," he said, sounding broken-hearted.
