Chapter 142

I kept wondering why Kevin would appear at the party, so I went and asked James if Kevin came uninvited. When he saw me, he quietly left the coast without greeting me.

This was unlike his usual behavior.

Even when I called him, he told me directly that he didn't have the authority to grant my request… He was one of the most capable people in the Xenos Family, and he technically should have had the authority to switch on the GPS tracking application. However, he refused and even asked me to call Shawn.

It was okay if I had to call Shawn, but then he went and asked me that painful question. Then, it dawned on me that Nicholas and Christopher's appearances were all planned by Kevin, and he was listening to Shawn's orders.

As far as I knew, Kevin and the Forger brothers didn't have any grudges, so it wasn't my fault for not being able to tie Shawn to this matter, but why would he… Shawn and the Forger brothers had no grudges with each other unless they did this to help me get my revenge. If they had done it for my sake, wouldn't pushing them into the sea constitute going overboard? If Nicholas and Christopher hadn't known how to swim, wouldn't they have…

The more I thought about it, the more scrambled my mind became. Then, Christopher looked at Olivia, who was standing in the distance, and suddenly called out to me. "Little girl."

I responded, "Yes."

A gleam flashed through Christopher's eyes as he hesitated a bit before continuing, "I met Emma while I was having my global recital abroad."

Then, his gaze became conflicted as I admitted, "I know. She told me she had met you and even praised your looks."

He closed his eyes slightly, then asked, "Is she the youngest daughter of the Turner Family?"

I nodded as a response and answered, "James is her brother."

"That little girl is a heartless woman," he told me.

It was rare to see Christopher describing someone as heartless. In Nicholas and Olivia's eyes, he was the one who was truly an indifferent person.

I asked in confusion, "Did something happen between you two?"

"It's nothing. I've wronged her."

I felt even more curious as I pressed for answers. "What have you done to Emma?


Instead of receiving an answer, I saw Christopher's lips curling into a smile. Then, he lowered his gaze and looked at me before saying, "Little girl, the night has fallen. I need to send Oliva back to…"

Christopher didn't tell me how he wronged Emma. When I sensed that he wanted to hide the truth, I didn't ask any further.

I suggested, "You guys could stay in Eldham for the night."

But he shook his head and said, "Oliva needs to return to the Forgers."

Even under such special circumstances, Christopher wanted to be separated from Olivia since he couldn't even stand to stay even one night with her. Moreover, it was clear how cold he was to Ovilia.

I looked at Olivia with pity and saw that she was looking at Christopher with red-rimmed eyes. It seemed like she had heard his words. Moreover, we weren't that far away from her to begin with.

After parting with them, I drove back to the apartment. I parked my car inside the garage and alighted from the vehicle. Then, a hand came from behind to cover my mouth.

The garage was huge and empty since it was in the middle of the night. Fear started to grow in my heart. As I grabbed the perpetrator's clothes, I found that they were wet.

Instantly, I knew who it was. So, when he hugged my neck from behind and blew his breath in my ear, I wasn't as shocked as I should have been. Then, he teasingly asked, "Did I scare you?"

As I let out a relieved breath, Nicholas gently bit my earlobe before letting go of my mouth. Then, he asked, "Did you miss me recently?"

He had just bitten my ear so intimately…

Embarrassed and angry, I growled, "Let go of me."

Instead of heeding my request, he made things even worse by pulling me into his arms and gently asking, "Have you had sex with Shawn? Is he better than me?"

The words that came out from him were so lewd that I knew this was another one of his personalities that hated me. While I struggled to escape his embrace, he suddenly touched my chest. "Tsk, it's so soft."

I shouted angrily, "Nicholas Forger, let me go!"

I hated him for acting in such a way, but I couldn't escape his grasp, so I tried to reach for the emergency button on top of the car.

Just as I was about to reach for the button, he suddenly let go of me. I looked at him in surprise, only to feel him release me and say, "This is just my gift to you by way of greeting. Next time I see you, I will make you mine, if not in heart, then in body." After that, he turned around and left.

I called out to him in a harried state, "Nicholas."

He gently hummed a reply. "You don't want me to leave?"

I asked with difficulty, "What would it take for you to let me go?"

"Leave Shawn Xenos," he replied.

"I won't–"

Nicholas immediately turned around and interrupted my words. His gaze was icy cold as he reminded me with a slight smile, "You also said you wouldn't leave me. Back then, we were just like how you and Shawn are now. I've even prepared myself for the rest of my life, and even this whole life. How dare you leave me selfishly?"

His hair was still wet and stuck to his forehead. Just as I was thinking about saying something, he suddenly gave a sinister smile. "Unless I destroy you, I will never let you go so easily in this life."

His words made my heart tremble. Our past…

We didn't have many beautiful memories together, but he did treat me well. My love for him felt so inferior back then that I lost myself while loving him. I treated him like the most important person in my life back then, yet here we were.

Did I wrong him?!
