Chapter 1217 Do I Not Deserve Some Gratitude.

Miranda, still within one of the teams, was seething. Her face was a mix of anger and frustration as she lowered her voice to address the other mothers around her. “What are you all so scared of? Nathaniel’s broke now. He’s not the CEO anymore.” 

But her attempt to downplay Nathaniel’s influence fell fat. The other mothers weren’t so sure anymore. 

One of them hesitated before speaking. “If he’s got nothing left, then why were those men so terrified of him? They looked like they’d seen a ghost the moment they realized who he was. 

Miranda struggled to come up with an answer. She couldn’t figure out how Nathaniel still had this much pull. It made no sense to her.

Jonathan’s brow furrowed. “What trick?”
