Nathaniel turned his head and widened his eyes when he saw Nyla.
It was only recently that he learned she was alive and had returned with Damonâs child.
However, he didnât care much about this. After all, he had already fallen out with Damon. Even if Nyla came back, they couldnât make amends.
He stared at Nyla for a few seconds before looking away, expressionless. âItâs none of our business. Thereâs no need to pay attention.â
Even though Nathanielâs tone was indifferent, Rebecca noticed his grip on the cutlery tighten. Clearly, he wasnât as nonchalant as he pretended to be.
Rebecca set down her utensils and asked Nathaniel, âDonât you think itâs unfair? Nyla came back
unharmed, and she even had Damonâs child, but we were the ones caught in his revenge. Especially you- the Preston Group almost went bankrupt.
âYouâve worked so hard over the past few years to keep things afloat, facing so much disdain and hardship.â
Nathaniel sneered. âRebecca, donât think I donât know whatâs going on in your head. You used me once five years ago. Do you think Iâll let you use me again now?â
Seeing her intentions exposed, Rebecca smiled. âIâm just upset on your behalf. You donât have the means to fight Damon.now anyway.â
Nathanielâs eyes narrowed instantly. âRebecca, trying to provoke me wonât do you any good.â
Rebecca knew that if they werenât in a restaurant right now, Nathaniel might have hit her like he used to.
âNathaniel, donât forgetâI just secured a big deal for the Preston Group. Mr. Nuttall likes me a lot. If you lay a hand on me again and he sees the marks, it might not end well for you,â she warned.
Orlando Nuttall was the owner of a listed food company in Saintornia. Despite his reputation as a playboy, he despised men who abused women, having grown up watching his father beat his mother until she finally took her own life.
Orlando had taken a liking to Rebecca at a banquet, and Nathaniel had willingly sent her over. After a few refusals, Orlando happily accepted.
Whatever charm Rebecca used on him worked. Orlando frequently invited her over, which secured several big contracts for the Preston Group, giving them some muchâneeded breathing room.
Tonightâs dinner was meant to celebrate another contract Rebecca had secured for the Preston Group. Nathaniel was in a good enough mood to take her out.
Nathaniel masked his anger but continued to glare at Rebecca coldly. âYou better remember your place. No matter how powerful Mr. Nuttall is, he wonât help you get a divorce. Damon already said weâre tied together for life.â
Rebecca turned pale, lowering her head to conceal the fleeting emotions in her eyes.
For five years, she had struggled to find a chance to divorce Nathaniel.

Richard had continued to suppress the Preston Group after Damon lost his memory, privately warning her not to entertain the thought of divorcing Nathaniel and pursuing Damon.
Now that Richard was dead and Damon had lost his memory, who cared if she and Nathaniel divorced? As long as she held on to Orlando, she could figure out a way forward.
As for Nyla, she wouldnât let that woman off easily..
A series of schemes flashed through Rebeccaâs mind, and her downcast eyes filled with malice.
After finishing dinner, Nyla dropped off Leon and Ruby before driving to pick up Mason.
