Chapter 293 Consequences
Once, Emilia was a pitiful figure, but sadly, she placed all her grievances on Timmothy.
Timmothy, who was weak like Jay from birth, received decent treatment from Charlie as he was his own son, despite Charlie’s lack of affection for Emilia.
Nevertheless, Emilia showed no affection for Timmothy, treating the feeble kid merely as a source of blood for Jay. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
Both Timmothy and Jay had physical issues, but Timmothy had to undergo regular blood transfusions to aid Jay.
Witnessing Emilia’s neglect of Timmothy, Charlie naturally favoured his younger son.
However, this led Emilia to favour Jay even more, creating a competition between them.
Two innocent children became tools in their conflicts.
Initially, Charlie treated both children equally, understanding Timmothy’s lack of maternal care. But as time passed, Jay, spoiled by Emilia, became disobedient.
He showed no brotherly love towards Timmothy and instead bullied him, saying he was only here to die
on his behalf.
Charlie, upon learning this, became furious and scolded Jay severely, leading to a heated argument with Emilia and their relationship’s deterioration.
Afterward, Charlie paid less attention to Jay and focused more on caring for Timmothy.
This continued until Timmothy turned three and Charlie met with an accident.
Among Old Mr. Harris’s grandchildren, Nathael was his favorite. Nathael had always been steady and clever, but due to family conflicts, some targeted him.
Nevertheless, Nathael shared a close bond with his Uncle Charlie.
It could be said that Charlie spent more time with Nathael than with his own son, especially when Marcus was occupied with family business.
Marcus protected Nathael and guided him as his father, while Charlic provided Nathael with happiness during his challenging childhood.
When Nathael was with Charlie, he showed his childlike side; although he always wore a serious facade, his heart was filled with joy.
Then, one day, an assassination attempt on Nathael occurred. Nathael, Charlie, and young Timmothy were attending a banquet when gunmen attacked.
As soon as their car stopped, the assailants surrounded them, opening fire.
Both Nathael and Timmothy faced danger, but the shooters were aiming for Nathael’s heart while planning to take Timmothy out as well.

Chapter 293 Consequences
It all happened in merely three minutes. When the Harrises arrived, Nathael was holding Charlie, who was covered in blood, seemingly in a daze.
“Uncle Charlie! Uncle Charlic…
Charlie managed a smile and looked at the thin and frail Timmothy, who was hiding beside the wheel.
Despite wanting to say something, Charlie couldn’t speak as blood continued to flow from his mouth.
Nathael, tearful, vowed, “Uncle Charlie, don’t worry. I’ll take care of Timmothy and ensure Aunt’s future.”
Charlie’s eyes welled with tears as he smiled with relief.
Nathael gently closed Charlie’s eyes, marking the end of the extravagant and reckless son of the Harrises- Charlic, the fifth son of the Harrises.
Maggie felt overwhelmed, finding the
situation lamentable.
She had imagined countless scenarios but never this one.
She couldn’t discern who was right or wrong in this story; everyone seemed like victims in this absurdity, yet they also inflicted harm recklessly.
Charlie had his faults when it came to Emilia, and he wasn’t exactly a stellar husband or father. But Emilia wasn’t exactly the mother of the year either.
Thinking about the rumours she had heard in her previous life, Maggie could picture how difficult Timmothy’s life was after Charlie passed away.
Dealing with his brother’s bullying, his mother’s resentment, and his own fragile health wouldn’t be easy. Although Nathael had wanted to lend a hand, he was just a kid back then and couldn’t go against Emilia.
Maggie never expected Timmothy’s dad to sacrifice himself to save Nathael. She wondered if young Timmothy knew that this was a decision his father had made after much consideration.
Maybe he felt that Charlie had abandoned him.
She hoped Timmothy hadn’t understood it at that young age. However, he had been rumored to be precocious, and that memory might have been imprinted in his head.
“Old Mr. Harris investigated for a while. It turned out that it was some other branches of the Harrises who were behind it. But they covered their tracks well, so the real mastermind is still at large,” Ericko said seriously.
Maggie closed her eyes for a moment and murmured, “No wonder Nathael kept giving in to Timmothy.”
Ericko shook his head. “There’s more to it.”
Maggie glanced at him. “There’s more?”
Ericko nodded slightly. “After Charlie passed away, Nathael took care of Timmothy a lot. But he soon realized that even though Timmothy seemed well–behaved on the surface, he was causing trouble behind Nathael’s back and blaming it on him or Jay.”

Chapter 293 Consequences
Maggie fell silent. She could understand Timmothy’s resentment towards Jay. Maybe Charlie didn’t realise that favouring Nathael would only fuel Timmothy’s jealousy.
Nathael silently took the blame. Timmothy shifted onto him and started disciplining him, taking on the role of an older brother.
Timmothy had shown improvement, but just when they thought he had changed, he’d mess up again, sometimes leaving evidence for Nathael to find. Despite his innocent appearance, his actions were quite provocative.
Then, another incident occurred that deepened Timmothy’s hatred for Nathael.
Unable to hold back. Maggie asked, “What happened?”
Ericko gently patted her head and said softly, “You can ask Nathael about it later. He usually avoids talking about it, but he feels guilty towards Timmothy and has been giving in to him repeatedly. Surprisingly, this time it involved you.”
Maggie shook her head to conceal her bitterness and whispered, “I dragged him into this mess.”
Maggie realised she had underestimated Timmothy’s cunningness. The seemingly harmless man had a vicious streak that Nathael didn’t possess.
When Timmothy approached her back then, it was an ultimatum. If she refused, he’d seek revenge,
It was only when she experienced pain and suffering that she truly considered his threats, and Nathael’s severed finger became the consequence.
Maggie now understands the situation even more. All these incidents were just warnings and threats. For Timmothy, his goals had already been achieved.
