At this point, Hayden was utterly disappointed. He initially harbored any sort of hope that everything might be just a fluke, but right now, he suddenly found himself coming back to his senses.
Some people were just better than others when it came to putting up a facade; what one could see was only the version they presented to the outside world. In reality, no one knew what was actually going on in their mind. After all, a human heart was the hardest thing to read. Perhaps she did not realize what she was doing or knew what she wanted. As such, how could anyone else know then?
He could accept the fact that she did not like him and he was fine knowing that she loved Eugene. After all, Eugene was far more superior than him and he was irresistible to every woman. However, Eugene was taken and he had Olivia by his side, so Hayden had always harbored hopes that someday, Nicole would have a change of mind and realize that he was a great guy too.
Nonetheless, Hayden could not accept that the woman who had occupied an exalted position in his heart had actually been entangled with a beggar for so many years. Perhaps to her, Hayden was incomparable to a beggar.
She had ruthlessly plotted and killed an innocent person in order to achieve her goal. This was all because she wanted to free herself from her involvement in the matter.
He gradually rose from the ground and the disappointment on his face was evident. Instinctively, he wanted to run away. Subsequently, he looked at Eugene. “Deal with this matter however you wish to and you don’t have to consider me.” After Hayden said that, he got up and turned around to leave. Yet unexpectedly, Nicole clung to his thigh as soon as he stood up.
Clinging onto him, she sobbed and begged, “Hayden, save me. I’m a victim too. I didn’t want to be with Andy, but I couldn’t get away from. him despite my struggles…. The only person. that I’ve harbored feelings for all this while is Eugene…”
Hayden sneered and bent down to grab her chin. “You’re so great at denying things. You claim to have feelings for Eugene, but you didn’t realize that your actions would harm his mom? This isn’t love. You’re just a selfish and ruthless. person. You deserve all this!” He shoved her aside as soon as he finished saying that..
Speechless, Olivia turned around to look at Eugene. “Do you have anything else to say?” Yet, he merely wore a disgusted expression. “I want her to disappear from the face of the earth.”
“She’s someone who loves you, though,” Olivia responded with a jealous note. Eugene kept his eyes on her and suddenly zoomed closer to put his lips by her ear. ‘I will only enjoy being loved by you.”
His warm breath hit the side of her ears and she dodged instinctively. Subsequently, she glared at him with her pair of animated eyes. “You’re so annoying!”
Eugene chuckled in a low voice and glanced at the two entangled people. “Alright. It’s good. enough to know that I haven’t been framed for anything. There is no need to continue the conversation!” Subsequently, he instructed his men, “Take her to the interrogation room and do the usual.”
The usual? Nicole instantly felt a chill run down her spine. As soon as she saw the bodyguards approach her, she screamed loudly in fright, “Eugene, I’ve learned my mistake… I was just too jealous of Olivia and I didn’t mean to harm. your mother. Eugene…”
Her mind went blank upon realizing that Eugene remained unperturbed, so she turned around and pleaded with Hayden, “Hayden. Hayden, please save me. I promise I’ll get together with you. Hayden, please save me. Ah
However, Kyle did not give her any time to say another word as he dragged her away. The words she spoke made everyone present feel uneasy. Just as Kyle was about to pull her out of the room, Hayden piped up, “Hold on-”
Seeing that Eugene did not object, Kyle stopped upon taking a look at him. As such, Hayden walked over to stand in front of Nicole and lowered his eyes to look at her. “What am I to you?’ Nicole clung to his thigh and sobbed as she pleaded, “Hayden, please save me. Eugene will kill me. I promise you that I’ll be your girlfriend from today onward and I’ll only love you.”
Hearing that, Hayden sneered and grabbed her chin again. “You’re not worthy at all! How dare you assume that I would accept a woman who actually slept with a beggar, huh?”
