When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1053 Not Good At Lying

A subtle, almost imperceptible smile appeared on Nicholas‘ countenance. “It seems his chances of survival are slim.”

Upon hearing those words, Zachary was instantly infuriated and grabbed Nicholas‘ collar. “What nonsense are you spouting?”

Nicholas looked at him calmly. “You’re not very good at lying.”

Indeed, Zachary was a person without much guile.

“You’re Nathaniel’s own brother. Do you really despise him that much? Do you wish him dead?” questioned Zachary

After hearing that, Nicholas‘ expression remained unchanged. “You and Nathaniel are supposed to be best friends. Can you assure me that you’ve never been jealous of him, never wished for him to disappear?”

“Of course not,” Zachary asserted confidently.

When he was a child, he was envious of Nathaniel, never content with always being in the latter’s shadow. However, as he grew older, he came to understand that everyone has their own strengths, and there was no riced to compete in everything, especially with friends

Nicholas silently observed Zachary as if he could peer into the latter’s mind.

Zachary loosened his grip, inexplicably worried about Nathaniel’s condition.

Meanwhile, both of them had caught the attention of a pair of children who had sneakily slipped in through the back door.

“Jon. I’m seeing that dark mist around this person again. He’s terrifying and definitely not a good person,” Elliot said.

Elliot had always been perceptive of people. Even though Nicholas appeared identical to Nathaniel, the impression he gave off was entirely different from the latter in Elliot’s eyes.

Upon hearing Elliot once again express that Nicholas was not a good person, Jonathan became even more wary of Nicholas.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“When it comes to bad people, we should avoid them, said Jonathan.

“Okay Elliot nodded.

The two youngsters were looking over in that direction when they saw Zachary walking toward Cecilia and

Vivian

For some reason, Zachary felt that there was more to Nicholas‘ words than met the

eye, and he was worried about something happening to Nathaniel “Cecilia, I have other matters to attend to and can’t stay here. I left some people here for you. If you are being mistreated again, feel free to command them.”

“Thank you,” “Cecilia sincerely said..

Vivian also said, “I really appreciate your help today. You can go now.”

“Mhm.” Only then did Zachary hastily leave.

After Zachary left, Nicholas lightly tapped his fingers against the table.

He discreetly pulled out his phone and sent

Right after he did that, people in the room started buzzing with excitement again.

When he looked over, he saw Cassandra and Ralph approaching. Accompanying thern were some journalists.
