Nathan shouted angrily, “Jasper, where is your sense of shame?” Ignoring the man’s shouts of abuse, Jasper. kept staring into Kate’s eyes with a pair of loving eyes, but the latter was so disappointed that she didn’t want to say anything. Olivia took a sip of her tea before looking at Jasper. ‘Mr. Greenwood, how did you know Nathan is here?”
Jasper quietly darted a look at Gwen before replying vaguely, ‘A friend of mine saw him.” Olivia put down her teacup with a chuckle. “Is Miss Hudson the friend you’re referring to?” she said while looking at Gwen with a smile.
Gwen was stunned by her question. What is she talking about? How did she know that? She thought that her act was quite successful. After all, she had never entered the restaurant. This was because she feared that Nathan would notice something fishy if she were to show up coincidentally before him often. And besides, even if she were to show up before him, it was impossible for them to get further along in that woman’s presence.
When that woman slapped. him across the face and stormed off, she knew that her chance had finally arrived. At first, shel thought that he loved Kate and would have trouble getting over the latter for a while. However, if he could date another woman, why couldn’t he date her? Therefore, she couldn’t help but come out despite knowing it was risky for her to show up too often. What’s going on right now? Did I give myself away or anything? “What do you mean, Miss Maxwell?”
Olivia couldn’t help but laugh. “It’s pointless to keep playing dumb at this point, don’t you think?”
Gwen’s face turned pale, but she argued, “How could I be the friend Mr. Greenwood was referring to? He and I didn’t know each other before.” Olivia took in a breath. “Why are you here, then?” “I’m here to have dinner with a friend, but he flaked on me.”
“What a coincidence. By ‘friend, are you referring to Danny?” Gwen frowned. “This is my own business.” Olivia replied, “Your own business? Is it your own business to have him plant a bug in Nathan’s car?”
Flustered, Gwen yelled at her in anger, “Cut that nonsense! Who planted a bug in his car?” While everyone else was shocked by their words, Eugene’s face darkened perceptibly. How can she talk to my girlfriend like that? He looked at her, saying, “What are you yelling for?”
The seemingly impassive words chilled the atmosphere in the private room at once. For a moment, everyone studied Eugene’s expression. gingerly without making a sound. Eugene looked at Gwen expressionlessly. “Just seize the opportunity when it’s given to you. What’s the use of arguing unreasonably?”
Gwen bit her lip without saying another word. Olivia said, ‘Actually, we invited you guys to sit down and settle the matter privately because you guys are usually friendly with Nathan and Katie. We understand your purpose, but it’s really a waste of time to keep saying the same thing over and over again, no? Eugene and I wouldn’t be sitting here if we had no evidence. Since you guys don’t want to fess up on your own, let’s wait a moment instead. Melanie is almost here, I suppose.” She darted a look at Eugene. “Is she?”
Eugene raised his watch and glanced at it. “Uh- huh. She’ll be here in ten minutes.” Olivia looked at everyone. “Let’s wait another ten minutes, then.”
Gwen panicked at once. Hasn’t Melanie left Summer City already? Have they found her? Don’t tell me everything that happened this evening. isn’t a coincidence but a result of premeditation?
Her heart thumped wildly as blood instantly drained from her face. Oh, no! I’m finished! Kate curled her lips into a sneer. To think there are some people who’ve done so much for us to break up.
