As for the Snow Family, there was no way they would leave the matter to rest after Nathan caused such an uproar across the Internet. Besides, Nathan even publicly humiliated Lexie at the cafe. Hence, they immediately went to seek Ace and Jade that very evening. Judging from their unfriendly tone and attitude, the termination of the cooperation between the two families was inevitable. At the same time, they demanded Nathan publicly apologize to Lexie and compensate for the financial losses caused by the unsuccessful cooperation. Otherwise, they were more than willing to bring this matter to court.
Compared to Ace, who still attempted to dissuade the Snow Family, Jade didn’t hold back her horses. She had an attitude filled with ferocity and passion as she countered hotly, “In my opinion, my son did quite well in the interview. He knew when to take advantage of the situation and when to yield.
He dared to act and bear the consequences, and he wasn’t acting against anyone. It was you who conspired with Ace and set my son up! Yet, you still have the nerve to get even with him?! Besides, none of this would have happened if Lexie didn’t give Nathan that glass of wine!”
Finley Snow, Lexie’s father, narrowed his eyes at her upon hearing her caustic remarks. The hostility surged as he demanded in disbelief, “What do you mean by that, Mrs. Baker? You knew very well that both our families had agreed to ally through this marriage in the first place. So, why are you trying to push the blame on us now? Or, is it possible that you think my daughter is eager to curry favor with you and only has Nathan as her choice of spouse?”
“That’s not my point. Your daughter is a true beauty, so I’m sure that she has her pick of men. I do not doubt that there are countless outstanding young men who desperately want to marry her. My point stands: there is truly no need for you to sink your claws into Nathan.
What I meant to say was that Ace and I have already divorced, and since he was the one who plotted against Nathan, you should ask him to apologize and compensate for your loss instead of my son. Yes, he would do anything to seal the deal, but you guys were far from blameless.
As for me, I simply muddled through without taking any actions against your methods. Technically, all of us are to be held accountable for what has happened. Our family has decided to let it go, so you absolutely have. no right to fuss about this matter as we are also the victims here!” Jade said flatly.
Finley’s face darkened and a storm brewed in his piercing eyes. ‘Divorce, huh? So, you think you can gloss over this matter easily using that flimsy excuse? I have to say-you two are pretty good at this game. Are you trying to make at fool out of me?!”
After that, he threw the teacup in his hand. It fell to the ground with a crisp sound of shattering, shocking everyone in attendance.
Given that Jade wasn’t Eugene, she didn’t actually have the intent to go against Finley. The only reason why she dared to argue with him was because she was thoroughly infuriated by his attitude and words. Hence, she would be lying if she said she wasn’t fearful in the face of his viciousness. Nevertheless, being a mother made her strong. Due to her desire to protect her son, she could be fearless when the occasion called for it. Thus, she forcefully maintained her composure as she continued, “There is no way I will make my son apologize to your daughter. After all, he has nothing to do with this matter. As for the financial loss of your company, we can-” The doorbell rang before she could finish saying that they could compensate the Snow Family forit. The servant scurried over to open the door, desperate to flee from the tense atmosphere.
The servant breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Eugene and Nathan, who stood at the door. “President Nolan! Mr. Nathan!” the servant greeted respectfully while escorting the two into the house.
At the same time, everyone also looked in the direction of the door. Logically speaking, given his well-known reputation, Eugene should be an often-seen and well-known figure. However, that wasn’t the case. In reality, only a few had such an opportunity.
Lexie belonged to the group of people who had heard of his great name but had yet to meet him in person. Still, with all the talks about Eugene’s achievements, even a photo of him could make her involuntarily fall into a reverie. That was especially so when she was aware of how he constantly spoke out for Olivia on Twitter every so often. As a lady in her youth, she firmly believed every woman would yearn for such sweet love.
As a result, the moment Lexie saw Eugene, her heart fluttered, and she involuntarily parted her lips. Initially, I thought Nathan was handsome enough. Still, if I am to compare him to this man in front of me, he is still slightly inferior. Maybe it’s not the looks but the aura Eugene exudes. This man exudes a powerful yet aloof aura from head to toe. At last, I have finally seen the legendary Eugene Nolan!
