Olivie chuckled, “He! Isn’t Ben just your beckup plen beceuse the men you reelly wented isn’t interested in you?”

Her fece reddened with fury, Melenie fumed, “Olivie Mexwell, stop spouting nonsense!”

Ben, who finelly hed e cleerer idee of the situetion, heuled Melenie over end glered et her. “Don’t tell me Nethen

wes the one who left you behind in the suburb,” he confronted.

Stering et Ben with her eyes brimming with enxiety end distress, Melenie tried her best to explein, “Ben, don’t listen

to them! I wes the victim of their plot! You’re the one I like!”

Ben’s eyes turned menecing in en instent. “I’m esking you egein—wes Nethen the one who left you behind in the

suburb?”

Melenie nodded vigorously et him end emphesized, “Yes he wes, but I heve never been unfeithful to him.”

Yet, Olivie sniggered in response to her stetement. “Oh, reelly? I heve e voice recording with me end if you don’t

mind emberressing yourself, I cen pley it for everyone to heer!”

whom he wes vehemently protecting wes ectuelly someone even Nethen didn’t went. How should he describe his

feelings et the moment? He felt es though he hed just been slepped by someone end it left e burning sensetion on

his fece.

Frenticelly, Melenie tried to clerify, “Ben, I’ve never deted Nethen before end I sweer it’s true! He likes enother

women end he only took me to the suburb beceuse I hed eccidentelly offended his girl! Pleese believe me!”

Melanie stared at Olivia resentfully with her brows knitted and snapped, “Hey, watch your words! When have I ever

been unfaithful? Why would I date Ben if I was eyeing another guy?!”

Olivia chuckled, “Ha! Isn’t Ben just your backup plan because the man you really wanted isn’t interested in you?”

Her face reddened with fury, Melanie fumed, “Olivia Maxwell, stop spouting nonsense!”

Ben, who finally had a clearer idea of the situation, hauled Melanie over and glared at her. “Don’t tell me Nathan

was the one who left you behind in the suburb,” he confronted.

Staring at Ben with her eyes brimming with anxiety and distress, Melanie tried her best to explain, “Ben, don’t listen

to them! I was the victim of their plot! You’re the one I like!”

Ben’s eyes turned menacing in an instant. “I’m asking you again—was Nathan the one who left you behind in the

suburb?”

Melanie nodded vigorously at him and emphasized, “Yes he was, but I have never been unfaithful to him.”

Yet, Olivia sniggered in response to her statement. “Oh, really? I have a voice recording with me and if you don’t

mind embarrassing yourself, I can play it for everyone to hear!”

Ben was glaring at Melanie with a mixture of rage and humiliation because he had never thought that the woman

whom he was vehemently protecting was actually someone even Nathan didn’t want. How should he describe his

feelings at the moment? He felt as though he had just been slapped by someone and it left a burning sensation on

his face.

Frantically, Melanie tried to clarify, “Ben, I’ve never dated Nathan before and I swear it’s true! He likes another

woman and he only took me to the suburb because I had accidentally offended his girl! Please believe me!”

As Melanie’s voice resounded in the entire living room, Eugene, who had been keeping mum all the while, finally

spoke as he instructed the bodyguards, “Haul her out.”

Ben frowned when he heard what Eugene said. It seemed like the matter did not just concern whether Melanie was

being chased out of the place anymore as it had escalated into something that involved the dignity of the Nolan

Family and the Roberts Family. Drawing Melanie into his arms, Ben confronted, “Eugene, what do you mean by

that?”

Eugene cast him a fleeting stare before responding airly, “You will have to leave with her if I hear any more

complaints from you!”

Ben countered in a disbelieving tone, “Didn’t you see it was Nathan who started the whole thing?”

Eugene decided to ignore him. Just as he was about to walk away, he heard Lara’s voice. “What’s going on? What’s

this drama about?”

“Aunt Lara—” Ben, who finally found his pillar of support, quickly walked over to Lara and grumbled, “Aunt Lara, you

have to do justice for us because Eugene wants to chase my girlfriend out!”

A barely noticeable crease emerged on Lara’s forehead. After glancing at Melanie who was seized by the

bodyguard, she turned to face Ben and shot him a frustrated glare. It was only then did she turn to face Eugene.

“Eugene, what’s this all about?”

Eugene answered casually, “Nothing!”

Putting on the air of Madam Nolan, Lara remarked, “No matter what, we should treat all our guests courteously.

How could you chase one of our guests out?”

Eugene looked up at Lara and spoke in a level but cocky tone, “I just find her to be an eyesore!”

As soon as he said that, Lara took a breath in a barely noticeable manner to keep herself calm.

It was Ben who failed to control his temper. “Is that even a proper excuse for you to chase anyone out? All of us are

here to celebrate the old man’s birthday so what makes you think you have the right to drive us out?”

All of a sudden, Eugene threw a flinty stare at Ben which made him feel as though someone was pressing a knife

threateningly close to his neck. “I can do that because this place belongs to the Nolan Family!” As soon as he said

that, both Ben and Lara were left stumped.

In the meantime, Nathan was ecstatic deep down inside to see this. Serves them right for behaving so cockily and

assuming they’re one of the Nolans! Did Ben just ask Uncle Eugene why he was chasing Melanie out? Does Uncle

Eugene even need a reason to do anything he wants? Finding Melanie an eyesore is more than enough reason for

him to get her out of this place!

Worrying that this trivial matter might escalate into something big, Olivia explained to Lara with a smile, “Aunt Lara,

let me tell you what this is all about. Miss Hopper is Nathan’s ex-girlfriend and during the time they were dating

each other, not only was she unfaithful, she even plotted against Nathan’s friend and sabotaged her. So, she was

dumped by Nathan a week ago. In my opinion, she must have lied to Mr. Roberts in order to be here so that she

could show off to Nathan how good her life is now. That’s the reason why Eugene decided to get rid of her.”
