Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 181

I was speechless.

Just as I thought, Neil wasn’t one to take a hit without giving one back. I genuinely thought he’d just got beaten up, and the guy walked away without a scratch.

“Why were they fighting? I thought you said Raymon went to apologize to Neil?” Alicia appeared confused.

Cooper, having been a bystander, surely knew what went down, but he seemed hesitant to speak and even glanced at me.

That got me a little scared. I was seriously worried he’d say it was because of me again.

Cooper cleared his throat and said, “Raymon said some nasty things about Irene. Nell had a few drinks in him, so he lost it.”

I just facepalmed, speechless. Cooper might as well not have said anything.

Now everyone was looking at me with different expressions on their faces.

“When Rena was crazy about him, why didn’t he appreciate it?” Stella, always direct, said angrily.

Mitch quickly tried to calm her down, “Honey, don’t get mad. It was Neil’s fault in the past. Hasn’t he paid the price now? Let’s not bash him; he’s already injured”

Stella just rolled her eyes.

Sean then chimed in and said, “I seem to remember seeing Mr. Whitmore in the tabloids with various actresses a few years ago, but I’m not sure if it was

true or not.”

Sean was very calm when he said this as if it was just casual conversation.

“You remember correctly, Neil was never quiet back then. After his divorce, these past two years, he’s actually settled down. He really brought it on himself.” Alicia didn’t mind Sean adding fuel to the fire. In fact, she was fanning the flames.

Mitch and Cooper had intended to keep me here to console Nel, so he could recover. Instead, it turned into everyone else gossiping about Neil.
