Chapter 948

Talking about Phoebe’s situation, both Sheena’s and Elliot’s expressions turned grave simultaneously.

Nathaniel keenly sensed their change in mood and asked, “What’s wrong? Has

something happened?”

Sheena glanced at Elliot.

Seeing no objection from him, she asked, “Are you familiar with Romello’s situation?”

Nathaniel remains silent, his expression serious.

“I’ll take you to see Phoebe. Maybe you’ll recall suseful information after seeing her.

The three of them soon set off back to E&S Haven.

It was Nathaniel’s first tseeing this half–sister.

Nonetheless, he still had srecollection of the events before Phoebe’s birth, feeling at bit guilty deep down.

Initially, when Wesley brought Nathaniel back from Laubabwe to join the Nicholls family, Vanda had a hard taccepting it, even leaving hwhile pregnant with Phoebe.

It was said that the matter triggered her mental issues, leading to Phoebe being left on her own all these

years.

Sheena said, “She had only been back to the Nicholls residence for a week, and she ended. up like this. When I found her, Romello had her chained up in the attic. She was obviously mentally unstable, only recognizing Romello. If she’s away from him, she becomes manic and harms herself.”

Nathaniel listened quietly, scrutinizing the frail girl on the bed.

Howard, who has been sitting silently by the bed, added, “We suspect Romello has subjected Madam Nicholls to a similar confinement and administered sunknown drugs.”

Nathaniel gave it a thought and uttered, “So, that’s what’s going on. No wonder.”

He seemed to know something, prompting everyone else in the room to turn to him.

He calmly explained, gradually revealing the truth about the Nicholls family’s past.

“The current Madam Nicholls is my dad’s second wife. After his death, Jason, our eldest brother, Romello, and I were all vying for power. Jason died unexpectedly during this power struggle. At that time, I was on a mission with the Special Investigation

Department and was away from Svelton. By the tI returned, everything had settled, and Romello had successfully taken control.”

Nathaniel took a short pause, then continued, “I heard Madam Nicholls fully supported him, using all her family’s resources to establish his authority among the elders. Back then, I was puzzled by her actions. Even if she truly adored Romello, it was simply baffling why she’d go to such lengths for Romello, sacrificing her own resources. But thinking back to her demeanor at the family gatherings, it did seem like she was under Romello’s control.”

The other three listened intently to his explanation, and the room turned silent.

No one interrupted or commented on the matter.

Then, Nathaniel looked at Sheena with determination, his deep blue eyes shining as he said, “Nana, I think I have a plan. I can help you.”

Sheena and Howard both brightened up at his words, while Elliot remained deep in thought, his emotions unreadable.

After discussing the plan in detail, the group settled on a final strategy.

During dinner, Gabrielle and Marius, who nearly broke his leg at the National

Investigation Bureau, trembled as they sat at the dinner table.

These past few days, mealtimes had been a nightmare for them as every meal felt like an

imminent execution.

Once again, Romello was assisted downstairs by the butler and servants, slowly taking his seat at the head of the table.

Instead of immediately starting his meal, he coldly asked Gabrielle, “How is she?”

Gabrielle answered honestly, “Phoebe’s condition is dire. After being taken to E&S Haven, she had a fit and even bit Mr. Howard. Then, she was injected with sedatives. She hasn’t regained consciousness since then, and there’s been no improvement.”

Romello’s face shows no concern upon hearing this. Instead, he seemed relieved.

“You must regularly visit the Jenkins estate and monitor Phoebe’s condition closely.”

Gabrielle lowered her head, replying, “Got it.”

“Oh, and next time, make sure Sheena lets the guards join you, We can’t have a repeat of today’s incident where they were locked in the basement. Their responsibility is to protect your safety at all times, and you must ensure you’re always within their sight,” Romello added.

Gabrielle hesitated for a moment, but she still complied, “Yes.”

Just as Romello turned his gaze toward Marius across the table, presumably to question him, the bodyguards at the door burst in, their faces filled with horror.

“Sir… Mr… Mr. Nathaniel… He’s back!‘
