Chapter 257 Do You Remember Me
Nathan had been in his villa all this while ever since the day that he was forbidden from leaving it.
Although he had yet to leave the room, that didn't mean that he wouldn't leave if there was a chance that he could
As usual, a big family was always full of schemes. And this was already one of them. The long-nosed guy was here because this was actually part of his scheme that he was currently planning.
Since he saw that he could not make a move on Anita and Jonathan with the family's current situation, he decided that he was going to find someone that would do the work for him.
What he currently wanted was, to make sure that one of the companies that was currently under Anita's family management, under-performed so that, the family elders would shift the management to another person.
And of course, he was the person who was going to be chosen. He had already made enough plans for that.
What he wanted Nathan to do was simply to do something that, would make sure that the company would underperform.
As for the method that Nathan was going to use, that was actually none of his concern. He knew nothing all too well for the fact that he was a person who was always scheming and could do anything.
Although he was currently on the house arrest, that didn't mean that he had lost connections that he had outside. What the long-nosed guy wanted was simply to use the connections that Nathan had to fulfill what he wanted.
If the family went on to investigate about what had occurred, all the blame would fall on Nathan. As for him, he was the one who was going to benefit without even lifting a finger.
Nathan could of course tell that there was a reason behind why this guy had come over to see him. He wasn't gullible enough to believe that there was anyone in the family other than the wife and children that he had that really cared about him.
But right at this moment, he really didn't care about what this guy was here to do or what his purpose really was.
In his current situation, he had really lost a lot. Not to mention the assets and the power that he had accumulated in the family over the decades that had gone by, he had lost even the chance that he had to the position of the family head.
Although the position was just indirect, he still thought that it was valuable enough for him to hold the power considering that his son Arthur wasn't someone who could make decisions.
Being the mastermind who was doing things from the darkness, that was just how he had initially planned to do things.
But all of this had been foiled by Jonathan, or so he believed. And as such, the current hatred that he had towards Jonathan was something that was incomparable to any that he had felt ever before.
Although he also hated his father and his uncle who were part of the current leadership of the family, as well as the rules that had completely prevented his rise to power, they were completely incomparable to the person who had used the family rules to make sure that he completely lost what he wanted.
"Yes, there's this another guy who looks exactly like Jonathan but he is called Jack. And currently I am assuming that he is a twin to Jonathan. Perhaps I need to heard he didn't all of these from the public eye that she had twins." The long-nosed guy said.
Nathan's expression darkened further. He now remembered what his son had told him back then. Arthur had told him back then that they were actually two people who were Jonathan.
With his eyes completely turning cold, the anger that was in his heart ignited further. His eyes turned blood red as he thought of something.
"It seems that I was wrong. It was not Jonathan who made a move on me. It seems that it is this Jack who was hidden in the dark that was making moves." Nathan muttered to himself.
He could already imagine that this was all part of a scheme that was planned by Jonathan and his family. They had planned to keep Jonathan in the dark so that in the future, they would utilize him to render his only competition out of the equation.
Just the thought of this made his anger seethe. Even the long-nosed guy who was seated in front of him couldn't help but shiver a little when he saw the ferocious expression that was on Nathan's face.
He gulped loudly as he looked at him. Although he was currently acting nonchalantly about the way things were, he had no choice but to be scared.
But knowing that what was at stake was extremely valuable to him, he had no choice but to hide the expression that was threatening to appear on his face.
"Good, good, just good," Nathan said good three times as he nodded his head repeatedly.
"Since you are trying to play a game with me, then I have got no choice but to play it with you further. Then, we are going to see who is going to emerge victorious at the end of the day." Nathan stated loudly.
He then shifted his gaze towards the guy who was planning schemes on him. He knew that whatever he was going to do next, as long as the family elders got a hint of it, there was no doubt that his punishment was going to be increased drastically.
But, none of that matter to him at this moment considering that he was already down. It was going to be something akin to a miracle for him to go back to the position that he was previously in.
And, since he was already down, then there was no harm if he was going to pull someone else to accompany him down there.
"Give me your phone." Nathan stated as he stretched his hand out.
He didn't even try to show the etiquette when he was trying to borrow something from the guy. He knew that this game was going to benefit from something and he had to do whatever it was that Nathan demanded.
Otherwise, all the plans that he had planned all these times would surely be for nothing.
With twitching lips, the guy took out his phone that he had already prepared in advance and give it to Nathan.
Nathan had already been denied all means of communication. And all those that came into his room to visit him were inspected to make sure that they didn't have any tool for communication.
But he on the other hand had already disassembled a small phone that was recently made. Although it looked like a phone, the only function that it heard was to make calls and send text messages.
It was something that had been created upon his request. And as such, it was not in the data system in that, the security check up could not notice it.
Nathan received the small cell phone that had been connected together by the guy before he dialed a number. Although the family had made sure to deny him all means of communication, that didn't mean that he was going to forget the numbers that he had already memorized.
After dialing the number, he made a call. When the call was received, Nathan spoke, "Gilmore, I would like you to do something for me…."
Nathan spoke a lot about his plans that were supposed to be carried out. He didn't even try hiding what he was saying to the other person from the guy in front of him.
After a long 30 minutes of talk, he finally summarized whatever he had and ended the call.
"I will be remaining with this phone for the time being. I need to make more preparations." Nathan stated as he stared at the guy in front of him.
The long-nosed guy thought about it for a moment before he nodded in agreement. He knew that some things and plans had to be made for a good period of time before they took effect.
And since Nathan was going to make a plan that involved a member of the Jesda family, he had to make a very thorough plan that would surely work.
"Okay then, I will be coming for the phone tomorrow." The guy got to his feet before he left.
Nathan who was remaining seated on his chair looked at the door with a cold gaze. In the end, he sneered.
'You think that you can actually use me as a tool? You better think about this twice. You are only starting to do things now but I am a master in this. Let us just see how this is going to end for you for attempting to do something like that in my face.' Nathan thought to himself.
….
During night time, Nathan was sleeping when suddenly, the lights inside his bedroom suddenly lit up.
This was something strange. It could have been normal if he was actually living with his wife and children. But ever since he was under house arrest, he had been living alone.
Not to mention the fact that it was currently night time, he wondered who it was that had just come over to disrupt his night. Although he was currently under house arrest, that didn't mean that he was going to let just anyone to come and bother him.
He opened his eyes as he snorted, "Who the heck do you think you are to come over and disrupt my night inside my own bedroom….?"
Nathan was forced to swallow the rest of the words that he was intending to say when he saw the silhouette of the person who was standing in front of his door.
When the person who was standing there noticed his gaze, he spoke, "Do you remember me?" At this point, there was a chilling smile on his face.
