When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 595 Prove Yourself

Upon seeing Elliot. Miranda immediately lowered her voice and whispered to Velma. “Mom, it’s that kid. Don’t be fooled by his small stature. He’s quite cunning.”

Upon hearing this, Velma glared menacingly at Elliot.

“Was it you who caused trouble for Felix?”

Felix sat next to Velma. feeling a sense of satisfaction as he noticed someone was taking charge on his behalf that day. He looked at Elliot with a triumphant gaze. You brat, thinking you can compete with me for the future heir position of the Rainsworth family, you’re still too green.

The previous night, Miranda had informed her son that Elliot’s mother. Cecilia, had no influential backing. Hence, the Rainsworth family’s future would still be in his hands.

Cecilia held Elliot’s hand. “Wasn’t I clear enough the other night?”

“Grandpa, do you need me to repeat it again?”

Niel was not fond of Cecilia’s haughty demeanor. “Cecilia, the other night, Felix was not capable of saying anything. What you said was merely Eli’s perspective. Today, Felix told me he didn’t even consider hitting Eli.”

“Why did he come to Daltonia Villa? He couldn’t possibly say he came to hang out with Eli, could he?”

Cecilia had already spilled the fabricated stories about Felix and his group ahead of time.

The expressions on Miranda’s and her companions‘ faces darkened in an instant.

Niel defended Felix, saying, “Children don’t hold grudges overnight. He just wanted to play with Eli and a few friends. Unexpectedly. Eli tricked him into going to the artificial hill alone, and he got lost.”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Cecilia understood there and then that they were protecting Felix.

Cecilia understood why Niel was so biased. One was a great–grandson who had grown up by his side since childhood, and the other was a great–grandson he had just met. The difference in their importance was clear as day.

“Old Mr. Rainsworth, you see it now, don’t you? They’ve run out of words.” Seeing that the group had fallen silent, Velma immediately demanded accountability. “Now, you must stand up for Felix.”

No sooner had she finished speaking than Nathaniel began to talk.

“What do you guys want?” Nathaniel asked.

“Felix nearly froze to death out there. I want him to kneel outside and apologize to us.”

Outside, it was a world of ice and snow. Asking Elliot, who was suffering from leukemia, to kneel and apologize in the snow was no different than asking for his life.

Cecilia clenched her fists tightly.

Right then, Elliot said. “Gramps, you’re being unfair. Why is it that you don’t believe the words I said, yet you fully trust his?”

Niel choked up, his cough masking his partiality. “Nonsense. I’m your great–grandpa. How could I possibly be biased? Did you say you didn’t deceive Felix? Do you have any proof?”

He had initially assumed that a child of just over four years old wouldn’t understand his talk of evidence. However, to his surprise, Elliot retorted, “Well, can he prove he didn’t hit me?”

Felix was instantly infuriated. “What proof do you need? My words are the evidence.”

Upon seeing the situation, Miranda immediately tugged at his little hand, which made him realize something. He sat down, looking pitifully at Niel. “Great–grandpa, I’m not lying.”

Miranda chimed in, “Grandpa, you’ve raised Felix. How could he lie to you?”

Her words served as a compliment to Niel while subtly implying that only children raised by Cecilia would tell lies.

Elliot had also understood, and in front of everyone, he stepped forward. “Gramps, if I prove he’s lying, does he have to apologize outside on his knees too?”

The people present were taken aback.

Felix was not afraid. He deliberately provoked, “Sure!”

He wanted to see how an unwanted child would prove himself.

Elliot rolled up his sleeves, revealing his wristwatch phone. He played the recording from that day, the first sentence being what Felix had said. “Eli, if you’re brave enough, come out and face me one on one.”
