"Elliot, you married her and made her your wife, so you're responsible for her for life. Even if it costs you your life, you should bring her back. What's the point of you coming back alone?"
Elliot's expression remained aloof as he replied, "If you know she's my wife, then stay out of our marital affairs."
Unable to contain his rage, Nathaniel grabbed Elliot by the collar and pressed him against the wall.
"If you can't save her, then I'll go. If you can't love her wholeheartedly, I'll snatch her back at any moment."
Elliot's gaze was mocking. "Unless I die, do you really think you'd stand a chance? If I can't rescue her from the kidnappers, can you?"
Nathaniel fell silent.
In terms of status, influence, power, and wealth in Froania, he could not compare to Elliot.
If Elliot could not save someone, it meant the National Investigation Bureau could not either.
Nathaniel had nothing but sincerity.
Releasing Elliot's collar, Nathaniel slumped back into the chair beside Asher's crib, defeated and silent.
Elliot leaned against the wall, staring coldly at him.
"I thought you had let go of your feelings for Nana when you agreed to be Asher and Adora's godfather. But with just a simple test, you revealed your true colors. Just let me know if you want to be my rival in love instead of a friend. I'll play along."
His rival in love?
That would mean restricting his access to the Jenkins estate, to E&S Haven, and everything else.
Nathaniel softened his tone, saying, "I spoke out of concern for Nana. Please don't take offense."
Elliot did not respond.
With a calm expression, he walked over to the other side of the baby's crib, fetched a chair, and sat down.
Like guardians, the biological father and godfather watched over Asher.
Just a few months old, Asher did not know how lucky he was to have them.

The readers' comments on the novel: Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson)
The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
