Chapter 121
The photo was one he’d secretly snapped back in school, and he kept it with him ever since.
It was just something to remember her by, but now, it looked like there might actually be a chance for him and Eliana to get together.
Just thinking about it made Nathan’s heart skip a beat.
He didn’t want Eliana to know anything about what he’d been through these past ten years, and likewise, he didn’t concern himself with what Eliana had gone through either.
To him, Eliana was still the same as she was ten years ago. The girl he desperately wanted to protect, but ultimately had to leave behind.
But now, he was back, standing at the very crossroads where theyd parted ways a decade ago.
This time, no matter how much effort it took, he was determined to find her again and bring her back into his life.
Nathan gazed at the photo for a long time before slowly slipping it back into the drawer.
He was determined to bring back that genuine, unguarded happiness on Eliana’s face. He’d make sure to see her smile like that again.
He thought, ‘Logan, someone who never appreciates her, does not have the right to cling to this marriage.‘
As Nathan stood up and walked out, the smile faded from his face in an instant.
He made his way toward the reception room with heavy steps, and an assistant quickly rushed over to open the door for
him.
Only then did Nathan finally step inside.
Logan had just been asking Bobby when Nathan would show up. As soon as he heard the door, he glanced up.
There was a hint of a smile in Nathan’s eyes, but it was all surface, nothing genuine.
“Wow, Mr. Eliot, you’re so busy you can’t even spare a few minutes to wait?” Nathan said,
His tone was flat, but Logan could still sense hostility. He quickly replied, “Of course not, Mr. Turner. Just making small talk, wanted to be prepared, that’s all.
“Hope you don’t mind sparing a bit of your time. Why don’t wet and talk?” Logan stood up and looked at Nathan,
Nathan nodded and took a seat.
“So, Mr. Eliot, what made you drop by in person today? Nathan asked.
Logan cut to the chase, pulling out the freshly signed contract. Het you’ve already heard about this project, haven’t you. Mr
Turner?
“This project is a surefire win, but most of Eliot Group’s funds are already tied up elsewhere, so we’re a bit short on liquet cash for this one right now.”

Nathan glanced at the contract Logan had placed on the table, eaded back into the sofa and in the you don’t even have the funds, Mr. Eliot, how did you have the nervero sign a contract like this?
“Don’t you worry about not being able to pay the huge penalty when the time comes?
As soon as Nathan said that, Logar’s face flushed hot with shame
He knew full well he’d been reckless this time. He wasn’t fooling hims
But being called out like that still made him lose face.
He’d been running Eliot Group for years, locked in as CEO, and nobody had talked to him like that in ages
He thought. But that’s just how life is. Mess up once, and everything goes downfall from there
When Elias was pushing for a divorce, demanding he sign the papers and hand back the land, he didn’t even think nwine He just signed his name.
But the more indiferent he’d been back then, the more kat and towerless he felt now
Even though Nathan’s words burned Logan jau had to suck it up and force a while. He sad. That’s exactly why I came to you, isn’t it?
Mr. Turner, why not check out this project for real This thing squnseed to make seaty can down the line. I mean, for you, as long as the investment’s got potential, that’s all you can ge

He spoke in a serious tone, “Logan, I could invest in this project bort it all comes down to whether you’ll agree to my

Logan was completely backed into a comer. If he didn’t you the mory von heue was no way he could cover the penalty. Even though he could sense that Kabzal’s zijnde was off he had to play dong Torsber
Nathan said bluntly, dropping all pretenses, “Divorce Eliana,

Logan had always suspected Nation was up to something with flats, but he never thought Nathan would just come our and say it to his face like this.
Humiliated, Logan slammed his hand on the table and that to hit feet Nation, so it’s thet You and Eliana are really messing around
“Figures No wonder Eliana’s been so desperate to force me. The two have been meaking around behind my back all along
