<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Chapter 923 Owe Him An Apology</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Felix was frightened when he heard there was surveince cameras at the party.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">But he still stubbornly said, “Fine.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia continued, “So if the footage shows that Eli didn’t push you but that you pushed him, shouldn’t you also apologize?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Felix didn’t think apologizing was a big issue, so he nodded in agreement.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Okay.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">While they were talking, Nathaniel had already handed the matter over to the butler of Rainsworth Manor. Soon, the surveince footage from that time was sent over.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia took the footage and showed it to everyone present.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">In the footage, it was clear that Felix had pushed Elliot. The reason Felix had fallen into the pond too was that Elliot had been holding onto his clothes.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">At this point, everything became clear.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Initially, Niel had been on Felix’s side, but now he was furious.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Felix, how could you lie?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Once was forgivable, but Felix had lied more than once.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Niel still remembered that during All Souls‘ Day, Felix had intentionally pushed Elliot. In the end, Felix had fallen himself.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Felix was still a child. His tears began to fall.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elena had always disliked him. She frowned upon seeing him bully her grandson over and over again.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“At such a young age, you’re already so malicious. Is this what your parents taught you? Do you even know that Eli has leukemia? Pushing him into the pond was like pushing him to his death!” Elena was furious.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Felix cried even louder. “I was wrong! I won’t do it again!”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Being scolded by several adults made himpletely break down.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia was puzzled. How could a child hold such a grudge and even want to put another child in danger?</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">This time, Niel wasn’t swayed by Felix’s tears.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Apologize to Eli!”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Felix had no choice but to cry while apologizing to Elliot, “I’m sorry, I won’t push you again.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elliot still wasn’t feeling well, but he understood that Felix was only a five–year–old child.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">No matter what he had done, there wouldn’t be any real consequences.</font></font>? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“It’s okay, I forgive you,” Elliot said weakly.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He hadn’t really forgiven Felix, but he wanted to show everyone who the real well–behaved child was.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">As expected, after Elliot said that, Niel felt a surge of sympathy for him. He took out a white bead from his pocket, which looked like emerald, and handed it to Elliot.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Eli, here, this is a relic from a high priest who passed away. I’m giving it to you to keep you safe.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Niel’s words surprised everyone present.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Relics were something that couldn’t be bought with money. This particr one had been obtained by Niel through certain means when he was younger, and it was worth a fortune.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Felix was especially envious and jealous. He had once asked Niel for the relic, but Niel hadn’t given it to him: Now he was giving it to Elliot.</font></font>
Felix thought Elliot would eagerly take it, but instead, Elliot shook his head. “Great–grandpa, I don’t want it. You keep it for yourself and live a long life.”
Niel’s face broke into a broad smile. He insisted on giving the relic to Elliot.
“Don’t worry, I have many of these. You’re not in good health, so you should keep it.”
It was in this moment that Niel truly seemed to ept Elliot as his great–grandson.
Seeing this, Elliot no longer refused. “Thank you, Great–grandpa.”
And just like that, the whole situation was resolved.
When Adrian and Miranda arrived, Niel scolded them, telling them not to bring Felix along anymore.
“I’ll hire a personal tutor for Felix. You two only need to check on him asionally.”
They had raised the child all wrong.
