Chapter 314 A Sickening Woman
The moment their eyes met, both parties appeared somewhat awkward. Aleena, who felt somewhat guilty apart from awkwardness, blurted out a question, “Why are you guys still here?”
Eugene cast a glimpse at her to remind her that it was none of her business before he turned to face Olivia and said, “Let’s go downstairs.”
Ignoring the two women too, Olivia held North’s hand and took the stairs together with Eugene.
Just barely after they reached the first floor, they were greeted by the sound of wine glasses being broken into pieces on the floor which was then followed by Nathan’s yelling, “I can’t believe you’re shameless enough to cause a scene here!”
Just as Olivia was wondering who Nathan was shouting at, a familiar male’s voice came shortly after that, “Nathan, are you crazy? What gives you the right to attack my girl?”
Olivia and Eugene first exchanged a confused glance before making their way to them. However, they could not see what was taking place at all because they were blocked by a crowd of onlookers.
Thanks to Eugene’s menacing aura, his presence had long been noticed even before he spoke and the crowd automatically cleared out a path for him as soon as he reached there.
Hand in hand, Olivia and North followed behind Eugene and almost immediately, they spotted a girl wailing miserably on the floor with half her face covered with her hands; she was none other than Melanie Hopper.
Frowning slightly, it dawned upon Olivia all at once as to the reason behind Nathan’s sudden outburst because that girl was the reason why Nathan broke up with Kate. At the same time, she was also impressed by how fast the girl had managed to find herself a new guy and most importantly, she actually had the face to bring him along to the Nolan Residence. Other than trying to instigate a fight, Olivia could not come up with another reason to explain her presence.
In the meantime, Nathan, who was blowing his top, yelled, “You’re the crazy one to bring such a sickening woman here! Are you trying to ruin the event tonight by bringing her here?”
With that, he shouted his instruction to one of the bodyguards, “Throw this woman out!”
At that time, Ben, who had already helped Melanie to her feet, growled, “Are you sure you have the guts to do it? I dare you to lay a finger on my girl!”
Snuggling in Ben’s arms, Melanie put on a look of utter misery but at the same time, she kept her eyes glued to Nathan cockily as though she was trying to tell him that she had plenty of suitors. She was here to show off her new boyfriend and there was nothing he could do about it.
Not going to let her get away with that, Nathan made a dash forward and tried to seize her but his outstretched arm was shoved away by Ben.
“What are you trying to do?” Ben landed a punch directly on his face. In fact, he had long thought that Nathan was an eyesore, and since he was asking for some punishment now, he wouldn’t mind teaching him a lesson.
As Nathan was still sober because he had yet to consume any booze, he would not allow himself to be bullied without fighting back despite not being good at fighting.
Soon, the two guys were embroiled in an intense fistfight until a deep and sonorous voice came somewhere, “Stop it!”
Both Nathan and Ben looked in the direction of the voice and they only stopped fighting when they saw it was Eugene.
With a sullen face, Eugene walked closer to them at a slow pace and chided, “What are you guys fighting about? Just get out of here if the two of you are not interested to attend the birthday celebration!”
Nathan was too embarrassed to explain the matter.
On the contrary, Ben did not hesitate to voice his complaint, “Eugene, you’re here at the right time. Nathan hit my girlfriend for no reason at all and he even asked the bodyguard to chase her out. Are you going to do something about this?”
Nathan gritted his teeth in fury when he heard Ben. “Ben Roberts, it’s you who brought that woman here just to annoy me!”
“It’s none of your business who I want to attend the celebration with!”
Olivia felt it hard to suppress the rage in her too at the sight of Melanie. If it wasn’t because they were here to attend Old Man Nolan’s birthday celebration, she might have slapped her as what Nathan had done.
But at that moment, she only looked at Ben and offered him a piece of advice, “Nathan has a grudge against your girlfriend because she’s an unfaithful woman, and she’s just been dumped by him a week ago. So, out of kindness, I think I must remind Mr. Roberts to keep a watchful eye on your girlfriend!”
