Chapter 196 Respect Is Earned by Oneself
Almost an hour had passed before the two of them returned to Olivia’s home again.
As soon as they entered the door, they heard the doorbell ring again before Olivia could even say a word. Eugene opened the door and saw Nathan standing outside, who looked anxious.
“Uncle, you’re here too? Did you come here because of Olivia’s matter?”
Eugene’s face immediately sank when he heard the words. “What about her?”
As he spoke, he glared at Nathan, hoping that the latter could understand his signal. Nevertheless, the guy did not appear to understand as he looked at Olivia worriedly and said, “Olivia, don’t listen to those people. Just get North to delete it later. Those people have too much free time on their hands…”
Olivia stared at Nathan standing at the door with suspicion.
“What happened?”
Kate was so shocked that her eyes widened the size of golf balls and she started praying anxiously in her heart. Don’t say anything more, you fool! Otherwise all our efforts this morning would be all for nought.
North frowned and glared at Nathan fiercely.
With a simple yet swift move, Eugene pushed Nathan out of the door, slamming it shut behind him.
What Nathan said made Olivia confused. She looked at Kate in bewilderment and asked, “What did he say? What people?”
Now that she thought about it, something was definitely up for Eugene and Kate to come over this early in the morning.
“Did you and Eugene deliberately come here early in the morning because someone slandered me on the Internet?”
Pretending to be baffled, Kate said, “Huh? I came here to ask for some comfort. As for Eugene, wasn’t he here with you last night?”
However, Olivia didn’t believe her. “Don’t change the topic. Tell me, what has been going on?”
North thus spoke up, “Nothing happened. If you don’t believe it, go online and check it out yourself.”
Olivia then got up and looked for her phone. Just when she found it, the doorbell rang again. After North opened the door, Eugene and Nathan reentered the living room.
Having regained his composure, Nathan greeted Olivia and Kate with a smile.
“Nathan, what did you say just now?” Olivia asked with a frown.
Eugene was worried that Nathan couldn’t explain it well, so he hurriedly spoke up.
“A post about Anna has become one of the trending hot topics on the Internet. When the netizens commented about her, they mentioned you too. Nathan was just making a mountain out of a molehill. I’m sure he was just looking for an excuse to come over and get a free meal out of you.”
Then, he glanced at Nathan, who immediately understood and huffed, “No, I’m not! I just want Olivia to be the judge of yesterday’s events. Olivia, you were there yesterday. What do you think about Kate’s behavior? I only asked her the question out of kindness. But she ended up scolding me and ignoring me. How could she humiliate me in front of my girlfriend?”
After Nathan finished speaking, he looked at Kate again. “Hey, why don’t you explain to me how I’ve offended you? If you want to kill me, you should at least tell me the reason why right?”
Kate thus sighed. The only thing that reverberated in her mind was the sentence ‘how could she humiliate me in front of my girlfriend?’.
She decided to ignore him. But after a minute, she couldn’t hold it in anymore and got up to head for the bathroom.
At first, Olivia was still skeptical about the Internet issue, but when she saw Nathan arguing about Kate, she hurriedly shouted at him, “Did you come all the way to quarrel with Katie so early in the morning? Are you really gonna talk about humiliation? Think about it! Have you prevented Katie from being humiliated in front of your girlfriend?
Remember, respect is earned by oneself. Since you have a girlfriend now, you shouldn’t come too close to us. Although you think of us as your buddies, others may not think so! I’m gonna say this one more time. We’re women, so please be gentler and more polite when you talk to us. No woman would find concern in a sentence like ‘Did you puke so much that you look so pale?’”
Nathan was completely stunned. Initially, he had wanted to form an alliance with her. But instead, he suddenly discovered another enemy. Why is Olivia acting strange too?
