When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1726 Wealth Distribution

Elliot was no fool. Of course, he knew he had to fight for his own interests.

He approached Niel, a look of fear and concern etched on his face. Grasping Niel's arm, he pleaded, "Great-grandpa, you must recover quickly. You must accompany me forever."

His acting skills were impressive, even more adept than Felix's attempts at flattery. It seemed like he was genuinely concerned about Niel's health.

Niel watched his great-grandson, who cared for him so deeply, and an unexpected wave of melancholy and emotion washed over him.

"Eli, everyone has to face death and departure at some point. Don't be sad. I will strive to keep living."

At that moment, he exuded an added measure of genuine affection.

The way he treated Elliot and Felix left both sets of parents somewhat incredulous.

Miranda frowned. How could she not have thought of letting Felix win Niel's affection?

She even wanted to instruct Felix to step forward and engage in more conversation with Niel.

It seemed as though Niel had discerned her thoughts, and he began to speak. "All right. Let's get down to business now. I have a substantial amount of assets in my possession. After my demise, I intend to distribute all these assets among you."

Everyone fell silent, no longer speaking. They were all engrossed, watching the elderly man intently.

After taking a sip of water, Niel continued speaking.

"It's tough for children from less fortunate families to achieve equal distribution, let alone in families like ours. So, if there's any unfairness in the allocation, try not to take it too personally."

By saying this, he left no room for anyone present to object or question.

Over an hour later, all the food on the table had gone completely cold.

Niel had finally made clear his intentions regarding the division of his estate after his death. Incredibly, most of the wealth was bequeathed to Robert.

Elena was quite disgruntled. "Dad, isn't this favoritism? It feels like Nathaniel and I hardly got anything."

Niel interrupted her, "Elena, Nathaniel is now in charge of Orion Corporation, and with Cecilia by his side, they lack nothing. Robert needs more assistance now."

"Does it mean that the capable descendants are destined to get nothing?" Elena retorted.

Niel's face turned ashen. "I'll give my wealth to whomever I want!"

Nathaniel had been silent all along, but at this moment, he spoke.

"If that's the case, Grandpa, I don't want a single penny of your wealth."

Niel was taken aback.

With an indifferent expression, Nathaniel said, "You're right. Ceci and I have everything. I'm not lacking trivial things."

Trivial things?

darkened even further. He pointed at Nathaniel, then turned to Elena. "You

Nicholas' voice was gentle, yet his words were sharp, laced with sarcasm at everynoveldrama

Upon witnessing the situation, Robert felt a sense of embarrassment.

However, what was pride really worth?

“All right. All right. You're all capable. Give it all to Robert's family, then."

Upon hearing Niel's exasperated words, Miranda and Adrian were overjoyed. They struggled to contain the smiles spreading across their faces.

Nathaniel didn't pay any attention to those words. Instead, he said to Cecilia, "Let's head back."

"Okay." Cecilia nodded, rising to her feet.

Niel was worried about offending the two troublemakers, so he immediately stopped them. “Nathaniel, Ceci, come with me to the study."
