When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 693

Chapter 693 Talk Over Dinner
When the couple arrived at the Evans family, Ralph stepped out to welcome the two. “Dinner's been ready for a while. Come in and eat.”

“Dad, there's no need to be so formal,” Cassandra said with a smile. “If there's something you need, just talk to Nicholas directly.”

She truly believed that she held a place in Nicholas' heart.

Nicholas also spoke. “Mr. Evans, I heard from Cassandra that you wish to discuss something important with me. Let's talk about that first.”

“Well... Let's talk over dinner,” said Ralph with a beaming smile, ushering the two into the dining room.

During the meal, Ralph slowly revealed that ever since his return, he had been constantly targeted by others.

He was rather tactful, not fully disclosing the predicament he found himself in.

After all, Nicholas wasn't his son-in-law yet. He was worried that if Nicholas found out that the Evans family was in bad shape, the latter might call off the wedding.

“That's all about the matter. It's not an incredibly severe situation, but it's not good either.” Ralph observed Nicholas' expression carefully.

After listening quietly, Nicholas asked calmly, “What's your plan?”

Ralph choked up. Clearly, he hadn't expected Nicholas to counter-question him.

He was already out of options and was hoping that Nicholas would stand up for him to punish Imminence Corporation.

“Nicholas, could you do me a favor and take over the project I'm currently handling? Once my funds are sufficient for turnover, I'll take the project back. I promise you won't incur any losses.” Ralph spoke convincingly, but Nicholas had already investigated Evans Group's situation.

Nicholas gazed at Ralph's seemingly astute face, saying, “Mr. Evans, this isn't a trivial matter. Even though I am the CEO of Orion Corporation, I don't possess that much authority. Come Monday, I'll convene a top-level meeting to discuss whether to take over Evans Group's project.”

Upon hearing that, Ralph felt his heart instantly turning ice cold because Nicholas was clearly rejecting him.

Cassandra assumed that Nicholas was genuinely in a difficult situation. “Nicholas, I've put you in a tough spot.”
