Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1397

When Asher brought up the matter, Lionel suddenly remembered Nathaniel helped Elliot with the baby formula case's investigation.

They even agreed to have a brawl after wrapping up the case.

At the time, Lionel had even vowed that if he lost, he would hand in his resignation letter on the spot, giving up his position as Deputy Chief of the National Investigation Bureau.

However, so much has happened since then. There was Noah and Hannah's wedding, and then his own engagement party with Jacintha.

Things got busy, and they both forgot about it.

"No, we haven't fought yet, but I'm definitely much better than Nathaniel. He's no match for me."

"Really? That's great! Uncle Lionel, you're amazing," Asher exclaimed, his eyes shining with admiration, his mind slowly forming a plan.

Feeling pleased with the praise, Lionel forgot all about the embarrassing defeat in the backgammon game.

He declared proudly, "Once things settle down a bit, I'll challenge Nathaniel to a fight and give him a good beating for you!"

Getting ahead of himself, Lionel boasted about his skills.

Asher, on the other hand, played along, his face beaming with admiration, hiding his mischievous thoughts behind his sparkling eyes.

…

Meanwhile, the Reynolds Group had been experiencing a major stock crash, causing the Reynolds family to lose billions within just a few days.

Umair tried to meet Nathaniel at the Nicholls Group with gifts two days in a row, but he was turned away each time.

Elliot was even busier, juggling between the company's affairs and those of the National Investigation Bureau.

Umair made several attempts to see Elliot but never succeeded.

Desperate to salvage the Reynolds Group's position in the business world, Umair had to set aside his pride, seeking Nathaniel's audience until he agreed to meet with him.

"Yes, Mr. Nicholls."

As the other executives gradually left the conference room, Nathaniel remained seated at the head of the table, reviewing documents.

Some executives glanced back at him, unable to help but whisper among themselves.

"It's been several years, and Mr. Nicholls still approaches everything with such attention. He even reviews the meeting minutes several times. I wouldn't be surprised if the Nicholls Group advances to the next level in another few years."

"I agree. Mr. Nicholls is truly remarkable. He's a much more formidable figure than the one before."

"But I heard he's a bastard child. In the beginning, no one wanted to follow his lead, and that caused some issues…"

"Shh! You can't just go around saying things like that! What if someone overheard you? You might disappear from the next meeting altogether."

The conversation quickly died down, and within minutes, the once bustling conference room was left with only a handful of people, including some of the Nicholls family's elders who had yet to go.
