Chapter 911
Nathaniel Cooper looked straight into Griffin Cooper''s fierce eyes and said indifferently, "Because
my father never taught me such basic manners."
Failing to educate a child would be the fault of a parent. Nathaniel''s words made Griffin''s face pale
in fury. He was rendered speechless out of anger for a moment, before he regained hisposure
and said, "Your father did not guide you because he was busy. So did your mother not teach you
anything as well?"
Hearing this heartless man who had long neglected his mother mention her, Nathaniel found it
extremely ironic. He smirked as he spoke, "My mother had been preupied with guarding her
status as the firstdy, giving her no time to teach me."
"Nathaniel, you..." Griffin was so angry that he could not form the words. He had never thought that
his son, who was always so quiet and reserved, be so sharp-tongued now! Those were such vicious
words!
"What''s wrong?" Nathaniel chuckled and said ndly, "You always kept your lover by your side so
openly, and could not care less about the public''s opinion. But yet you do not allow me to mention
it?" "You, you... Nathaniel, you give me no choice but to beat you up today!" Griffin was so angry
that he stomped his feet andunched a p at Nathaniel.
However, since Nathaniel was younger and more agile, he could easily dodge Griffin''s p. He
smiled and said, "Beat me up? Do you really think that nobody knows about your lover?"
Griffin pointed at Nathaniel, and his fingers were trembling with anger. "You, you, you..."
Theplex issues of Hannah Elliot being his lover, had long been a knot in Griffin''s heart.
It was actually a show of his dignity as a man. He did not really have to marry this woman. However,
he wanted to have her as his lover to prove his personal strength and power.
In the past, he had never been powerful enough, so he had to marry the woman whom his elders
had arranged for him, as this woman was useful in boosting his status and influence. He could not
marry his lover whom he fancied, and who had even undergone an abortion for him at a young age.
No man was willing to be suppressed by others, nor were they willing to admit their own
weaknesses. So he made a promise to Hannah that he would give her an official identity as his wife
when he finally grew powerful.
However, a few decades had passed, the once young and beautiful Hannah was already a middle-
aged woman now, and she was still keeping hispany as a housekeeper.
Nathaniel''s sentence triggered Griffin''s weakness. It would be odd for an fiesty man like Griffin to
not be angry at such provocative words.
He looked straight at Nathaniel, and his eyes were so cold as if he was looking at his enemy instead
of his own son.
Nathaniel also looked at him, neither angry nor upset, he didn''t even make a sound.
After staring at each other coldly for a long time, Griffin forcibly suppressed his anger. He was a
politician, an ambitious one. He knew very well that sometimes it would be better to retreat first, in
order to advance.
Griffin added, "Your mother knew clearly that I love another woman, and that I never truly loved your
mother. She still chose to marry me, because she was very clear that the marriage between us is
built on the basis of politics, only for the interests of our two families."
Griffin said this as if he was a victim because he had sacrificed his own happiness for the interests
of the two families.
Such an ''inspiring'' speech made Nathanielugh dryly. "You didn''t love her yet you married her, and
you never cared or asked about her. In order to secure the position as the President, it seems that
there''s nothing that you won''t do."
In Nathaniel''s eyes, even if it was a political marriage, even if Griffin had married a girl he didn''t
love, but from the moment he married her, she was his wife, and he was her husband. Whether he
loved her or not, as a husband, he should support his wife and protect her unendingly.
But he didn''t, he went ahead with the arranged marriage with the maiden from the Collins family.
However, in secret, he continued to be with his lover, Hannah. He had hurt both women at the same
time.
"There''s nothing that I won''t do?" Griffin seemed to have heard a huge joke andughed
exaggeratedly. "Nathaniel, aren''t you the same?"
In order to be the President, Nathaniel had done a lot of ruthless things too. After listening to what
Griffin said, Nathaniel had no words to refute.
The fact that Nathaniel did not refute was equivalent to admitting to Griffin''s usation. He said,
"Nathaniel, could you say that the engagement between you and the girl from the Ss family is just
not for you to take on the Presidency?"
Regarding the engagement with Serene Ss, many people thought it was just Nathaniel''s trick to
win the support of the Ss family, and Nathaniel had never rified this. Anyway, he couldn''t
control what the others wanted to say, so he decided to let these rumors go unanswered.
Nathaniel had nothing to refute his father''s words again. Griffin seemed a little arrogant now, and
said, "Nathaniel, although I have a lover outside my marriage, at least I didn''t divorce your mother in
her lifetime. But what about you? How long have you been in office and you already want to
abandon the woman who gave you the greatest help."
Griffin did not deny his purpose of marrying his second wife all those years back. This was the girl
from the Collins family. He also deeply believed that Nathaniel had the same purpose as he did.
By making use of this woman, he could ess a short cut to sess. He could achieve a high
ranking political status immediately, a feat which would have taken ten years given his personal
talent. Since this resource was offered to him, he was not stupid. Why wouldn''t take it and make
good use of it?
Although Nathaniel''s rtionship with his mother was far from a mother and son from a regr
family, she was still his mother. Now that his father had admitted that his mother was just a stepping
stone for him to climb higher in the political world, Nathaniel''s heart ached with pain.

For so many years, his mother had been so focused on this man and his power, but in turn, she was
never taken seriously by that man. How miserable was that!
Nathaniel remained silent, so Griffin was even more confident about his assumptions.
He sighed and put on a kind face. "Nathaniel, there are so many women in the world. With your
current status, is there any woman that you can''t have? Why would you ruin your bright future for
this little girl?"
Speaking of this, Nathaniel smiled gently. There was love and tenderness in his smile. "Although
there are a lot of women in the world, I only want her."
He had long decided that Karen Joy was the one for him, and this would remain the same for
eternity.
No matter how hard the journey ahead was going to be, he had never thought of letting go of her.
Griffin narrowed his eyes slightly. "Money, power, status. Can''t these things bepared to a
woman? Even if I believe you, no one will."
Nathaniel said disdainfully, "What does it have to do with me whether the others believe it or not?"
As long as Karen Joy Kyle believed in him, that would be enough for him.
Griffin chuckled coldly. "Haha!"
Nathaniel continued, "Tell me, what exactly do you want?"
Griffin smiled and said, "Take a guess."
When Nathaniel took office, his father, as the former president, did not show up at the inauguration,
but Nathaniel could not care less either. In turn, Nathaniel didn''t evene to visit his father here at
all.
However, as soon as Nathaniel heard the news that Griffin had sent his men to invite Karen Joy for
a chat with him, Nathaniel couldn''t sit still and even ended his visit abroad in advance. He came to
see his father
as soon as he had arrived in Coast City.
