Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 896

Rhodes swung open the door to the penthouse suite and found his brother staring out the floor-to-ceiling windows, lost in thought as he watched the bustling traffic below.

"Hey, big brother," Rhodes greeted with respect.

Jules turned, letting out a heavy, wistful sigh. "Coming back after twenty years, only to find everything's changed. The people I longed to see are gone. What was the point of coming back?"

Trying to comfort him, Rhodes asked, "Are you thinking about your old flame?"

Jules nodded. "Seeing her again would've been a dream come true. But I just heard the awful news—Kelly took her life not long after I left. If only I’d known, I never would’ve let her go."

"I'm really sorry, brother," Rhodes said softly.

Jules pulled himself together. "And what about the person I asked you to invite?"

Rhodes's face clouded with frustration. "That Mr. Rowland—I dealt with him tonight. Sure, he’s got some smarts, but his character is seriously lacking. Greta, who saved our mom's life, was humiliated by Mr. Rowland and Miss Stewart in a disgraceful way. I couldn't just stand by, so I gave him a piece of my mind. I doubt he'll want to work for the Sharp family now."

Jules frowned. "Is he from the Rowland family down south?"

"Greta says he's from a big, notable family—the same Rowland family you talk about."

Jules's expression turned pale. "So, he's the son of an old friend?"

Sensing an opportunity, Rhodes quickly added, "Even if he’s your old buddy's son, you have no idea how awful he is. Plus, he’s got a criminal record. No matter how talented he is, the Sharp family should stay away."
