Chapter 1342 Mothers Are Strong
As for the Snow Family, there was no way they would leave the matter to rest after Nathan
caused such an uproar across the Internet. Besides, Nathan even publicly humiliated Lexie
at the cafe. Hence, they immediately went to seek Ace and Jade that very evening.
Judging from their unfriendly tone and attitude, the termination of the cooperation
between the two families was inevitable. At the same time, they demanded Nathan
publicly apologize to Lexie and compensate for the financial losses caused by the
unsuccessful cooperation. Otherwise, they were more than willing to bring this matter to
court.
Compared to Ace, who still attempted to dissuade the Snow Family, Jade didn't hold back
her horses. She had an attitude filled with ferocity and passion as she countered hotly, "In
my opinion, my son did quite well in the interview. He knew when to take advantage of the
situation and when to yield. He dared to act and bear the consequences, and he wasn't
acting against anyone. It was you who conspired with Ace and set my son up! Yet, you still
have the nerve to get even with him?! Besides, none of this would have happened if Lexie

Finley Snow, Lexie's father, narrowed his eyes at her upon hearing her caustic remarks.
The hostility surged as he demanded in disbelief, "What do you mean by that, Mrs. Baker?
You knew very well that both our families had agreed to ally through this marriage in the
first place. So, why are you trying to push the blame on us now? Or, is it possible that you
think my daughter is eager to curry favor with you and only has Nathan as her choice of
spouse?"
"That's not my point. Your daughter is a true beauty, so I'm sure that she has her pick of
men. I do not doubt that there are countless outstanding young men who desperately
want to marry her. My point stands: there is truly no need for you to sink your claws into
Nathan. What I meant to say was that Ace and I have already divorced, and since he was
the one who plotted against Nathan, you should ask him to apologize and compensate for
your loss instead of my son. Yes, he would do anything to seal the deal, but you guys were
far from blameless. As for me, I simply muddled through without taking any actions
against your methods. Technically, all of us are to be held accountable for what has
happened. Our family has decided to let it go, so you absolutely have no right to fuss
about this matter as we are also the victims here!" Jade said flatly.
Finley's face darkened and a storm brewed in his piercing eyes. "Divorce, huh? So, you
think you can gloss over this matter easily using that flimsy excuse? I have to say—you
two are pretty good at this game. Are you trying to make a fool out of me?!"
After that, he threw the teacup in his hand. It fell to the ground with a crisp sound of
shattering, shocking everyone in attendance.
Given that Jade wasn't Eugene, she didn't actually have the intent to go against Finley. The
only reason why she dared to argue with him was because she was thoroughly infuriated
by his attitude and words. Hence, she would be lying if she said she wasn't fearful in the
face of his viciousness. Nevertheless, being a mother made her strong. Due to her desire
to protect her son, she could be fearless when the occasion called for it. Thus, she
forcefully maintained her composure as she continued, "There is no way I will make my
son apologize to your daughter. After all, he has nothing to do with this matter. As for the
financial loss of your company, we can—" The doorbell rang before she could finish saying
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthat they could compensate the Snow Family for it. The servant scurried over to open the
door, desperate to flee from the tense atmosphere.
The servant breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Eugene and Nathan, who stood at the
door. "President Nolan! Mr. Nathan!" the servant greeted respectfully while escorting the
two into the house.
At the same time, everyone also looked in the direction of the door. Logically speaking,
given his well-known reputation, Eugene should be an often-seen and well-known figure.
However, that wasn't the case. In reality, only a few had such an opportunity.
Lexie belonged to the group of people who had heard of his great name but had yet to
meet him in person. Still, with all the talks about Eugene's achievements, even a photo of
him could make her involuntarily fall into a reverie. That was especially so when she was
aware of how he constantly spoke out for Olivia on Twitter every so often. As a lady in her
youth, she firmly believed every woman would yearn for such sweet love.
As a result, the moment Lexie saw Eugene, her heart fluttered, and she involuntarily
parted her lips. Initially, I thought Nathan was handsome enough. Still, if I am to compare
him to this man in front of me, he is still slightly inferior. Maybe it's not the looks but the
aura Eugene exudes. This man exudes a powerful yet aloof aura from head to toe. At last,
I have finally seen the legendary Eugene Nolan!
