Chapter 1375 Lexie’s Lawsuit
When Halma saw Nathan, her lips naturally curved into a smile, her eyes shining brightly.
Although he had a cold expression, he inexplicably gave her a sense of reassurance.
Back when they were together, she always felt like something was missing and knew the
problem was with her. Perhaps it was because she could not move on from the incident
with Melanie, or perhaps, they had become accustomed to their previous way of
interacting. No matter how one looked at it, they did not seem to be in a romantic
relationship.
However, she understood him better and realized he cared about her after this incident;
she had confidence in him. She would naturally act cute, be stubborn, throw tantrums, and
even act unreasonable, and he would just indulge, pamper, and coax her. It was a feeling
they had never experienced during their previous time together. It was a feeling of being
in love!
Nathan walked a few steps and stood before Halma, looking at her nervously. "Are you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtokay?"
She was speechless. What can happen to me in this hospital, especially when Olivia is
here? However, she knew he was just worried about her, so she obediently responded,
"I'm fine."
Yet, Finley felt that the situation had become even more difficult. He had wanted to handle
Halma quickly while Nathan was away, but he did not expect him to return so soon!
It seemed that there was no room for maneuvering in this matter. The lady is right. If my
daughter has a criminal record, not to mention marrying into a prestigious family, it will be
difficult for her to find a match even in an ordinary household.
Suddenly, sadness overwhelmed him, and his voice took on a tinge of sorrow. "Nathan,
Lexie knows she was wrong. It was just a momentary impulse. Please forgive her for once,
considering the good relationship between our families. Her life will be ruined if she ends
up in jail. I'm begging you. Please don't do this."
He was about to kneel as he spoke.
Nathan bent down and, with an expressionless face, helped him up. "You don't have to do
this. You love your daughter, and I love my girlfriend. She faced this undeserved calamity
because of me, and I am so guilty, wishing I could bear it for her. If it was me whom your
daughter harmed, perhaps I could overlook it for the sake of our family's relationship. But
since she harmed my girl, there is no room for negotiation. Otherwise, I would feel guilty."
His voice was calm, without any deliberate emphasis, but the underlying emotions of his
concern and self-blame were apparent in his words. How could someone like Nathan not
take it seriously? He let out a sigh and walked away, feeling helpless.
With solid evidence and the unbeatable top-notch lawyers of the Nolan Group, it was
almost certain that they would lose the lawsuit. However, settling the matter privately was
no longer an option now. Finley could only find a lawyer to reduce his daughter's sentence
since avoiding prison was impossible.
In the end, it was he who had caused harm to his daughter.
After he left, Nathan asked them, "What did he say?"
Halma smiled. "He offered me 70 thousand to drop the lawsuit."
He scoffed. "70 thousand? Is he trying to bribe a beggar?"
She replied, "Well, it was originally 30 thousand and increased to 70 thousand. He didn't
value me at all."
Nathan snorted. "Who would value him anyway?"
Halma teased, "I asked him for 300 million."
He smiled indulgently, cupping her face, and kissed her on the lips. His voice was gentle.
"It's fine! We don't need his money. I'll earn it for you."
Olivia's forehead twitched. She should not be here. She should be somewhere else. Why
did I choose to stay and witness this when I could've left?
"I say… Can you two be more discreet and respectful?"
Nathan smiled playfully and looked over, reluctantly saying, "Alright, we'll tone it down."
Olivia stared at the two of them speechlessly, stood up, and said, "Alright, you two
continue with your lovey-dovey act. Just don't forget the pain once the wound heals. We'll
be going back to Mastar tomorrow. Call us if you need anything."
The couple was surprised. "You're leaving tomorrow?"
"Yes. I can't stay away for too long. I'm worried about my kids. Goodbye," she replied.
