CHAPTER 1451 SILENTLY GETTING BACK AT NATHAN CROSS
At the Harbor family home.
The Harbor Matriarch angrily sat on her armchair in the opulent living room.
Inside the living room were dozens of other men and women who were all key figures of the Harbor family.
Among them was a couple; the man sat awkwardly as the woman sobbed.
That couple was Scott Graham and Layla Harbor.
"That little brat, Nathan Cross, has gone too far," the Matriarch remarked furiously. "First, he broke my grandson's legs, then he made my son kneel all day and night. Now, even my married daughter has been humiliated by him."
The Matriarch's second eldest son, Blaine, spoke up solemnly. "I just received word that Griffin's been forced to quit after provoking Nathan. The directors have accepted the resignation."
Bam!
The Matriarch slammed her palm on the table with rage. "The Harbor family of Mayberry hasn't received such humiliation for the past hundreds of years."
At this moment, the Matriarch's eldest son, Noel, said in frustration while in his wheelchair, "You're right. That b*stard's gone too far. He's walking all over us.”
A look of disgruntlement flashed in Blaine's eyes. "Mom, Noel, I think Nathan's intentionally coming at us. He's going to try even harder to oppress us. We can't let him do as he pleases."
Everyone turned to Blaine.
"What do you mean by that, Blaine?" the Matriarch asked. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
"Fight back," Blaine answered decisively. "We have to fight back and make Nathan pay"
Noel smiled wryly. "We may be one of the top families in Mayberry, Blaine—maybe even in the whole nation—but we're not much compared to Nathan. That guy's a high-ranking figure who controls an astounding number of soldiers. How could we ever go against him?"
The Matriarch added, "Back when Nathan started picking on our family, I had already told your sister about it, hoping she could get Boris to teach Nathan a lesson. Instead, that son-in-law of mine sent someone to tell me to let go of trivial matters and stop provoking Nathan.”
Then, the Matriarch turned to Blaine. "Boris is so magnanimous and forgiving that he doesn't want any conflict with Nathan.
Without his help, there's nothing we can do about Nathan."
Everyone else in the living room agreed.
Nathan was the General of the North. Unless Boris Tucker, the Harbor's in-law and one of the Nine Great Cabinet Members, was willing to help them, there was no way they could stand against Nathan.
"Boris is now one of the Cabinet Members and he's even attempting to run for
President, so it's normal for him to not want any beef with Nathan. But that doesn't mean we can't do anything about the guy!" Blaine argued.
This caught the crowd's interest. "Oh? What do you mean by that?" the Matriarch asked, curious.
"Nathan may be the General of the North, but he's not even in the North Army now. He's in our territory," Blaine explained with a smirk. "An outsider is no match for the locals. Without his troops here, it'd be easy for us to deal with Nathan. For instance, we could send some powerful fighters to get rid of him. That way, we'll be able to have our revenge!"
The eyes of the Harbor family were instantly set ablaze—especially Layla's.
The Matriarch also seemed enlightened all of a sudden. "You're right. Now is our best chance for payback," she remarked with narrowed eyes and a snicker. "I've also heard that Nathan gives Boris a hard time. If we were to kill this man, we'll be helping Boris get rid of a tough opponent too. I believe Boris will be so thrilled that he'll eventually do anything for us."
The Harbors were always high and mighty, so being taught a lesson by Nathan was truly unacceptable to them.
They were furious to have their ego trampled on. Hence, coupled with the feeling that they had the support of the Cabinet, they silently decided to get back at Nathan.
