Chapter 1329 It’s a Setup by His Parents
The call ended abruptly.
Olivia was left to stew in her anger as she sat on the bed, breathing heavily. Her chest
heaved as she cursed Nathan in her heart. Who does he think he is?
Right then, Eugene had just finished his call and happened to see Olivia boiling mad on
the bed. He couldn't help but feel amused at her plight as he paced to her and pulled her
to him, consoling, "There, there. Don't be mad. You look as though I have cheated on you
with some other woman."
The still furious Olivia raised her icy eyes and ferociously glared at him without saying a
word, which sent a chill down his spine, and he grinned sheepishly. "I'm just kidding. I
have such an amazing wife. Why would I ever cheat on you?"
However, she merely glowered at him with a stoic face and intoned seriously, "If you dare
to pull such a stunt, you can forget about ever coming home. Once my trust for you is
broken, you can never have it again."
Eugene was at a loss for words as he thought, I must have lost my mind. Why did I even

and tried to pacify her. "I told you that I was just kidding. Don't get huffy, okay? All of me,
including my heart, belongs to you and I'm not afraid to put my faithfulness to the test."
Only then did Olivia deign to grace him with a look that was significantly less threatening
than the one he was given earlier.
Thus, he silently breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he was safe for now. "I've found
out what happened last night. Would you like to hear about it?"
She stared at him with unblinking eyes, waiting for him to continue. So, when he said
nothing after a minute, she snapped at him impatiently. "Speak!"
He was actually thinking about asking for a kiss from her, but he knew that he would be in
trouble if he asked for one when she was in such a state. Therefore, he sighed inwardly
and secretly made a note in his mind to put this under Nathan's tab. Frankly, he had
endured quite a few lectures from his wife all because of his unruly nephew.
"The party last night was a collaboration party between Baker Enterprise and the Snow
Group, which later turned into a blind date event. I heard that Miss Snow was the blind
date my sister arranged for Nathan back then, but he stood her up. That was how it
resulted in the hotel fiasco last night and the viral news today."
A frown crept over Olivia's face as she was filled with unease. "What are you implying? Are
you saying that this is a setup Nathan's parents arranged?"
"Well, you can say that parents from both sides are in on it," Eugene answered.
Her shoulders slumped in sheer relief, and she couldn't even find the words to describe
what she was feeling. Are they completely ignoring their children's choices and forcing
them into an arranged marriage just for the sake of collaboration?
Eugene hugged her just as her mind started its downward spiral. "So, there's no need to
be upset. This means that Nathan doesn't want anything to do with that woman and his
family arranged everything against his wishes."
Olivia glared at him. "Is there a difference between his family's wishes and his wishes?
Their families have clearly arrived at an accord prior to this and the news of him spending
the night with a woman in a hotel has become viral overnight. Even if these were against
his wishes, the ending is already set in stone. Do you think Halma can accept this

Eugene immediately realized that he had put his foot in his mouth again as he hastily
explained, "Calm down. I mean that there's a difference between taking the initiative and
being pushed into a situation. Look, the court usually gives a lighter sentence to a person
who pleads guilty. Plus, we aren't even involved in this mess. Who knows? Maybe Halma
will forgive him after hearing him out."
Olivia snorted disdainfully. "That's impossible. Even though I'm not Halma, I know her well.
She's a lot like me in many ways and would rather die than yield. Asking her to
compromise in a relationship is completely out of the question!"
Eugene tightened his arms around her and coaxed, "Okay, that's a problem in their
relationship and we can't do anything to help. Just trust me that I won't place you in such
a difficult position."
She shot him a glare from the corner of her eyes and drawled nonchalantly, "I won't even
need to contemplate whether I should dirty my hands if you ever have the guts to betray
me. My son will gladly finish the job for me without any prompting."
Her words caught him off guard, and he was rendered speechless by her vicious yet
utterly true statement.
