Nathan sneered while looking at the woman who was crying pitifully before him. Inwardly.. though, he wasn’t moved the slightest bit. He said meaningfully, “You love me? What a highfalutin excuse it is! Do you have to set someone up because you love him? Can you do whatever you want because you love someone? What sort of love is that, huh?” With that, he slapped Gwen across the face.
Gwen was so badly hit by the slap that she fell to the ground at once along with her chair. Nathan continued, “Do you know what I’ve lost because of your scheming? Do you think you’re in the right by claiming that you love me? I don’t like you. Can I kill you because of that?” As he spoke, he dragged her to her feet.
Frightened, Olivia hurriedly urged, “Nathan, calm down!” Kate was scared out of her wits, too. She quickly rushed over and grabbed Nathan before yelling at him, ‘Are you crazy?”
Nathan looked at her with reddened eyes. “I am crazy! Why care about me? You didn’t let me hit the man you like, nor do you let me hit the woman who loves me. What do you want me to do? I’ve lost everything and have been set up by someone for no reason. I’m the wronged party here!”
Kate was as mad as hell. “You deserve it in the first place! It’s true that they’re in the wrong, but they only did so because you gave them the opportunity. If you could draw the line while spending time with them, they wouldn’t have gotten the wrong idea that you had feelings for them, nor would they have been so perverse as to set you up!”
Nathan looked at her. ‘How am I not drawing the line? Didn’t you hear what she said? I fired her and was cool toward her. How else do you want me to draw the line?”
Kate shoved him away at once. “If you did draw the line, would y d you give your bank card to a woman to whom you were cool?” Nathan was dumbfounded by her question. “Who did I give it to?”
Kate sneered. “Nathan, you’re well-known for being stingy, and yet you have no idea to whom you gave your bank card. Don’t tell me you’ve given your bank cards to a lot of women!” Nathan suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He turned to look at Gwen right away, asking, “It’s you?”
Gwen shuddered all over for a moment. Not daring to meet his gaze, she lowered her head, fearing that he’d hit her again. “I-I didn’t tell Kate about that.”
Kate turned to look at Gwen. “You didn’t tell me about that, but you let me see it!” she said while turning to look at Nathan. “I met her at the shopping mall the other day. While paying the bill, I knocked off her credit card by accident. After I helped her pick it up out of courtesy, I saw your name on the card. When she saw me staring at her credit card, she said with a sweet smile, ‘The name doesn’t seem like a feminine name, doesn’t it?
It’s my boyfriend’s card, actually I was angry at the time, but put it out of my mind soon after that. You’re so stingy, so how could you give your card to someone else? Perhaps you’ve lost the card, or perhaps she stole it from you. But never did I think that you actually gave her that card!” She instinctively took a step back while looking at him with a smile. “How could you blame her for overthinking it? You even gave her your bank card!”
Nathan’s face turned as pale as a sheet. He quickly explained, “No, no, no, that wasn’t the case. You left with Jasper at the time, but she and the members of our game team insisted that I should have dinner with them and pay the bill. How could I be in the mood for dinner at the time? So, I gave her one of my bank cards and said that I’d foot the bill. I just wanted to send them away as soon as possible, actually.”
Kate nodded. “I can understand your reasons, but can you guarantee that the person who received your bank card would think the same as you did? She’d think that you were treating her as someone close to you. Nathan, you’re nice to anyone, and you can have countless reasons for having to do so. But what I want is a man who can reverse everything he has to do because of me alone!”
