Chapter 1328 The Moment of Truth
Perhaps there was a reason why there was a thing called 'spoiled brat' for people with difficult personalities. Olivia had only started behaving in such an unruly manner because Eugene was willing to spoil and dote on her.
While he was busy sorting things out, she did not slack around. Since she had no clue how to broach things with Halma, she settled on the significantly lesser of two evils and called Nathan instead.
The phone rang a few times before it got through, after which a sleepy male voice mumbled, "Hey..."
Olivia had just calmed down, but his sleepy voice triggered something in her again. Still, she tried to contain herself and asked him softly, "Where are you?"
Nathan seemed to be more alert now, but it was not enough for him to notice her displeasure. So, he answered calmly, "I'm at the hotel."
Olivia could no longer contain her anger upon hearing that. So, she snarled, "At the hotel?! We waited for you till 11.00PM last night. Couldn't you have called if you weren't coming?! Don't forget that you were the one who begged me to get you and Halma together. Are you going to toss her aside like a rag just because you are a couple now? Are you going back to your old ways just after a few days of dating Halma? Please man up and have a proper discussion with Halma. Don't you dare two-time her and take her for granted. Nathan, in all seriousness, if you're not going to settle this once and for all, please get lost from my life. No, wait. Get lost from your uncle's life too. Otherwise, you'll definitely get a taste of my wrath!"
He was utterly dumbfounded by the barrage of words ramming into his ears.
If Nathan wasn't fully awake earlier, he definitely was now. He felt chills deep into his bones as his heart sank after hearing Olivia's accusations. He hastily explained, "It's not like that Olivia. Just give me a moment…"
Alas, she couldn't be bothered to listen to him for a second longer as she harshly reprimanded him, "Show some respect to your aunt! You brat, you really deserve to be punished!"
Alas, she couldn't be bothered to listen to him for a second longer as she harshly reprimanded him, "Show some respect to your aunt! You brat, you really deserve to be punished!"
So, Nathan obediently stammered, "A-Aunt Olivia! What are you saying? Since when did I cheat on Halma?"
An absolutely furious Olivia immediately sent him the screenshot of the article and exclaimed, "You'd better have a good explanation for this!"
Nathan rushed to see the screenshot she sent on WhatsApp without even replying to her. The moment he saw it, he was completely dazed, and his mind went blank.
Then, he returned to his conversation with Olivia and explained anxiously, "Olivia, these are all nonsense. I was drunk last night, and Lexie Snow helped me back to my room. She wanted to stay and take care of me, but I did not accept her help! I'm alone in this hotel room right now and we did not spend the night together. I swear that these are all rumors fabricated by the paparazzi."
Olivia furrowed her brows at his words. Considering her understanding of Nathan's character, she actually did believe part of his story.
Nonetheless, a small part of Olivia's fiery anger refused to be doused as she said icily, "What's the point of you explaining yourself to me? And what's going on between you and Halma? Did you know
that your mother spoke to Halma? She was already insecure and sensitive because of your mother. Yet, here you are, giving her another big slap in her face. You made it to the trending news by sleeping with another woman even though you're in a relationship. Did you think Halma wouldn't see it? Have you ever considered the consequences that Halma would need to face once the news is out there? How many times do you need your uncle to clean up your mess?" Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Nathan was stunned upon hearing her harsh words. "I'm sorry, what did you say? My mother spoke to Halma? What for?"
She responded sarcastically, "For her to break up with you and convince you to date another woman. Halma did not tell you because she was worried it would affect your relationship with your mother. However, don't you dare think for even a second that it gives you any permission to bully her. You're the one who wanted her so badly in the beginning, and yet you're also the one breaking her heart right now. If you can't stay in a committed relationship, then you'd better stay the hell away from her."
The more she went on, the more vexed she got. So, she hissed in protective fury, "How dare you cast her aside now! Since you've already harbored such disgusting thoughts, then what's the deal with your chasing after her skirts, huh?"
Nathan hastily explained, "No, it wasn't me. I have no idea what's going on either!"
Olivia refused to listen to his explanations and rebuked, "You know what? You're an utter joke. Do you think you're desirable just because you're born with a silver spoon? Well, I've got news for you! Not all of us find that some filthy money is enough to overlook your sh*tty behavior! Get your sh*t together! Also, I'm warning you right now! Don't you dare drag Halma into your mess. If you're not capable of doing that, just get out from her life. I truly regret ever thinking that you'd be good enough for Halma! If I could turn back time, I would have never introduced you to her!"
