Chapter 1331 Not Taken in by His Words

Meanwhile, Nathan's mind went blank for three minutes after hanging up on Olivia. He studied the screenshot she had sent him again and again, unable to believe that everything that happened last night was a setup by his family.

That explained why he was so wasted when he had barely drunk any alcohol, why his cell phone was turned off, and why they wouldn't let him leave no matter what. They even said that they would consider his relationship with Halma after he attended the party. As it turned out, all of that was just excuses.

He was so furious that he figured that if he was a cartoon character, he would have wisps of smoke shooting out his head like an overworked chimney.

If she hadn't, she would have answered his call. Frustration washed over him as he angrily ran his fingers across his scalp before getting up to
