Chapter 13

In the Turner residence, Olivia sat on the couch, fuming, as she shattered several teacups. To her, that day was an unbearable humiliation. She never expected that Nolan would dare to hit her. Megan soon arrived home, and when she learned what happened to Olivia, she was filled with fury. Nolan had already crossed a line by hitting Chase, but now, he had even hit Olivia. This was unacceptable! She knew that Chase and Olivia must have gone to provoke Nolan on their own, but it didn't matter. They were still her family. So, what right did Nolan have to lay a hand on them? "What a bastard! This is intolerable. Mom, don't worry about it. I promise you I'll make Nolan pay heavily for this." Upon hearing that, Olivia nodded firmly and said, "I don't really care about my pride since I'm already of this age, but Nolan beat up Chase so badly. You can't just let him off the hook. I've already informed Mr. Riley. Mr. Riley will be at the hospital soon. By then, I want Nolan dead!" When Megan heard that Olivia had informed Lincoln, she was taken aback. Then, she frowned. "Mom, why did you inform Mr. Riley? Don't you know his status and methods? If he strikes, it will definitely lead to bloodshed. If this escalates, it could affect me and Chase. You acted too rashly." Lincoln's name was well-known in the underworld of Bellington. Even though Megan was now a wealthy CEO with assets worth billions of dollars, she still had to show respect to Lincoln. After all, not only was he a powerful figure in the underworld but also a member of the Baxter family. Megan couldn't afford to be arrogant in front of the Baxter family. Upon seeing Megan hesitating and being fearful, Olivia shook her head and said, "Nolan hit me and Chase, but you're still worried about him? Megan, don't tell me you still have feelings for him. "I'm telling you right now that I absolutely won't allow it. Even if I die, I won't agree to it. And you should give up on that idea. Nolan is just an animal in human form. He's a playboy, but you're clueless. "Do you know what I saw? I saw Nolan and Audrey together. Your so-called best friend, Audrey. They sat in the room and were having a candlelight dinner. They were having a date in the middle of the night. They're openly together and have no shame at all. "Do you think there's nothing going on between them? They've probably been having an affair in secret for who knows how long. Megan, you're such a fool. Do you understand why I'm so furious now?" At that, Megan was taken aback. She had received a call from Audrey but had already warned the latter. She didn't expect Audrey to actually meet Nolan and even have a candlelight dinner with him. For some reason, she was enraged and couldn't control her anger. The mere thought of such an unsightly scene made her want to flip tables and punch someone. "Mom, are you sure? Audrey and Nolan really had a candlelight dinner together?" Upon hearing that, Olivia nodded firmly and answered, "I'm sure. Do you think Nolan and Audrey have been in a relationship for a long time? Otherwise, why would they shamelessly be so open about it right after the divorce? "You thought Nolan felt guilty, but I think they've been betraying you all along. But don't worry, Megan. I'll make sure they pay for this." At this moment, Megan was burning with anger. She felt like she had been betrayed and abandoned. Upon seeing that Olivia was eager to take action, she shook her head and said, "No, Mom. You don't need to handle this. I'll take care of it myself. "Just beating them up is too easy. I'll make sure they understand what they need to pay to cross me. If they don't know their place, I'll make sure they learn exactly where they stand." With a cold expression, Megan gritted her teeth. When Olivia saw that, she was elated. She rarely saw this side of Megan. However, whenever she did, it meant that Megan was truly furious. So, everything else would be easy. "Megan, you shouldn't give Nolan any assets. Chase has grown up now. It'll be better to give the assets to him. Otherwise, he won't have money to spend when he finds a girlfriend. How embarrassing would that be?" Too furious to care about anything else, Megan nodded and said, "I got it, Mom. I need to go now. Anyway, leave this to me. I'll take care of it." With that, she left the house angrily, leaving behind a scene that made it difficult to tell who had abandoned whom and who had betrayed whom. As soon as she left the house, she immediately gave Nolan a call. Soon, the call was connected. "Nolan, let's meet up at noon tomorrow. That's all." Without waiting for Nolan to respond, Megan ended the call. "Nolan, I thought you knew you were average, but you think you're so high and mighty, don't you? Let's see how you feel when I show you just how big the gap is between us. I hope you won't be so ashamed that you want to die afterward." Then, Megan wrote a message and sent it to Nicholas. The content was simple. "Audrey is cheating on you!" After doing all that, she drove back to the villa she was currently living in. At this time, Nolan looked at his phone and frowned. He didn't know what she was plotting this time. But whatever it was, he wasn't afraid. … At the same time, Nicholas, who was at a bar surrounded by women, saw the message on his phone and was instantly enraged. Audrey was cheating on him? This was outrageous! How dare someone cheat on him in this world? Especially Audrey as he had pursued her for so many years but was rejected repeatedly. His patience had long since worn thin. He knew very well that her heart belonged to someone else. That alone was enough to make him want to punish her. He pulled out his phone and gave her a call. "Get to the hotel right now, or our engagement is off! If you don't show up, the Thompson family will join other forces to crush the Weiss family. By then, I'll make sure your whole family ends up begging on the streets!" After saying that, Nicholas left the bar while drunk. He drove his car to the hotel, where his suite was. Meanwhile, Audrey was currently sitting on a bench by the street. After the call ended, she let out a bitter smile. She had expected this outcome, and sure enough, Nicholas called her. She had to meet up with him because her family's future depended entirely on her.
