Chapter 11

"That's enough! Olivia, while I'm still being respectful, please watch your actions. Besides, Megan and I aren't married anymore. You're in my house now. Please leave. "As for Chase being beaten up, I'm the only one who did it. It has nothing to do with anyone else. If you insult my friend again, I'll stop being polite to you." Nolan had a good temperament? No, perhaps he used to have a good temperament. For love and Megan, he could endure a lot. But when he had had it enough, no one could bully him. It was just like the situation now. He could tolerate Olivia over and over again, but when it became intolerable, he would no longer hold back. Nevertheless, Olivia wasn't the type to listen. Seeing that Nolan dared to yell at her, she immediately became furious. She pointed at him and shouted, "You dare be impolite to me? Go on, then. I want to see how rude you'll be. Do you want to hit me? Go ahead!" Nolan gritted his teeth and pointed at the door. "Please leave!" Olivia snorted and looked at Nolan and Audrey. Coldly, she said, "Nolan, don't think that Audrey can protect you because her family is well-off. You have found the wrong person to protect you. "The Weiss family is barely holding on. They're about to marry Audrey off to the son of the Thompson family. By then, she can't even protect herself, let alone you." Then, Olivia looked at Audrey, who looked pale and devastated, and said, "Audrey, since you're having an affair with Nolan here today, not only will you get a beating when Mr. Thompson finds out, but the entire Weiss family will suffer as well. "And, with Mr. Thompson's bad temper, do you think he'll let Nolan off? I can't wait to see how you two die. Audrey, you're really something, huh? Even a worthless ex-convict can have you wrapped around his finger. You're disgusting and shameless!" When Nolan heard that, he could no longer take it. Without hesitation, he slapped Olivia hard across the face. "If you say one more word, I'll knock your teeth out!" Olivia was stunned and furious. She never expected Nolan to actually lay a hand on her, let alone slap her. Then, she lost it. Like a madwoman, she scratched and clawed at him. "You worthless piece of trash! How dare you slap me? I swear I'll kill you for this! I won't let you off the hook, you bastard! You deserve to die!" Seeing Olivia throw a tantrum, Nolan finally had enough. He grabbed her arms and slapped her twice, leaving her face swollen and red. "I'll say this one last time. Get out, or I won't hesitate to knock all your teeth out." Nolan's gaze was cold and vicious. Olivia was frightened when he saw that. She was taken aback. She had never seen such a fierce and icy look in his eyes before. For a brief moment, she felt he might actually do something terrible to her if she pushed through the act. Finally, she backed down. "Alright. You two, just wait. I won't let this slide." Then, she left the house angrily. After Olivia left, Nolan looked at Audrey, who looked pale and lost in thought. He sighed and said, "I'm sorry you had to go through this because of me." Audrey shook her head. Her face was stained with tears, making her look pitiful. "No. It's my fault. My recklessness might bring you more trouble. Nolan, you should leave Bellington for a while." In Audrey's opinion, things might have been fine if Olivia hadn't found out. But now that she had found out and was enraged, she would definitely spread what happened. By then, although Audrey could endure whatever came her way, she didn't want to drag Nolan into it. Audrey believed that Nolan wasn't Nicholas Thompson's match. And given Nicholas' temper, he would definitely take revenge. When the time came, Nolan would definitely get hurt, or even worse, have his arms and legs broken. It wasn't something impossible. After all, Nicholas had done such things more than once or twice before. Nolan sighed and said, "Audrey, you were just visiting and helping me. How could it be your fault? And ever since you came, I've noticed something's off with you. What's the engagement Olivia mentioned? Who's Mr. Thompson? "Are you getting married? But you don't seem happy at all. Are you being forced into this?" At that, Audrey could no longer hold back her tears. She sat on the couch and covered her face before she started to cry. She had been pretending to be strong, but she was just a vulnerable woman in the end. She couldn't change her fate, so she had to brace herself for what could be a hellish future. But it still hurt and upset her. Nonetheless, what could others do even if she showed them her weakness? But that day, she completely let her guard down in front of Nolan. On the other hand, Nolan sighed upon seeing her cry and handed her a tissue. "Audrey, if you don't want to get married to him, just don't do it. "Marriage should be a happy thing. It's something that lasts a lifetime. I don't know what kind of person Mr. Thompson is, but it's fine if he truly loves you and treats you well. "But from what I heard just now, he doesn't seem like a good person, and he definitely won't treat you right. So, why are you getting married to him? "Is it really because you have no choice? Happiness is in your hands. There's no need to sacrifice yourself for anyone or anything. Audrey, you don't have to get married to him. Don't cry." Nolan's words warmed Audrey's heart, but they didn't change anything. She gradually stopped crying. After forcing herself to calm down, she forced out a smile and said, "I'm sorry for showing you such a weak side of me. "Alright, then. I can handle my own issues. It's just that, I might really bring you trouble, Nolan. Please promise me you'll leave Bellington for a while, alright? "Take the money I gave you and stay somewhere else for the time being. It's not just about avoiding trouble, but it's also about taking a break. "Promise me that you won't make me sad or worried, alright? I'm begging you." Audrey gazed at Nolan deeply. She was genuinely afraid that Nolan, who was already struggling, might get hurt because of her. Before Nolan could say anything, Audrey bit her lip and took a step forward before hugging him. "Please hug me just this once."
