Chapter 315 This Place Belongs to the Nolan Family
Melanie stared at Camila resentfully with her brows knitted and snapped, “Hey, watch your words!
When have I ever been unfaithful? Why would I date Ben if I was eyeing another guy?!” Camila
chuckled, “Ha! Isn’t Ben just your backup plan because the man you really wanted isn’t interested in
you?” Her face reddened with fury, Melanie fumed, “Camila Brooklyn, stop spouting nonsense!”
Ben, who finally had a clearer idea of the situation, hauled Melanie over and glared at her. “Don’t tell
me Landon was the one who left you behind in the suburb,” he confronted.
Staring at Ben with her eyes brimming with anxiety and distress, Melanie tried her best to explain,
“Ben, don’t listen to them! I was the victim of their plot! You’re the one I like!”
Ben’s eyes turned menacing in an instant. “I’m asking you again-was Landon the one who left you
behind in the suburb?”
Melanie nodded vigorously at him and emphasized, “Yes he was, but I have never been unfaithful to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthim.”
Yet, Camila sniggered in response to her statement. “Oh, really? I have a voice recording with me and
if you don’t mind embarrassing yourself, I can play it for everyone to hear!” Ben was glaring at Melanie
with a mixture of rage and humiliation because he had never thought that the woman whom he was
vehemently protecting was actually someone even Landon didn’t want. How should he describe his
feelings at the moment? He felt as though he had just been slapped by someone and it left a burning
sensation on his face.
Frantically, Melanie tried to clarify, “Ben, I’ve never dated Landon before and I swear it’s true! He likes
another woman and he only took me to the suburb because I had accidentally offended his girl! Please
believe me!” As Melanie’s voice resounded in the entire living room, Silas, who had been keeping mum
all the while, finally spoke as he instructed the bodyguards, “Haul her out.” Ben frowned when he heard
what Silas said. It seemed like the matter did not just concern whether Melanie was being chased out
of the place anymore as it had escalated into something that involved the dignity of the Nolan Family
and the Roberts Family. Drawing Melanie into his arms, Ben confronted, “Silas, what do you mean by
that?”
Silas cast him a fleeting stare before responding airly, “You will have to leave with her
if I hear any more complaints from you!” Ben countered in a disbelieving tone, “Didn’t you see it was
Landon who started the whole thing?” Silas decided to ignore him. Just as he was about to walk away,
he heard Lara’s voice, “What’s going on? What’s this drama about?” “Aunt Lara-“Ben, who finally found
his pillar of support, quickly walked over to Lara and grumbled, “Aunt Lara, you have to do justice for us
because Silas wants to chase my girlfriend out!” A barely noticeable crease emerged on Lara’s
forehead. After glancing at Melanie who was seized by the bodyguard, she turned to face Ben and shot
him a frustrated glare. It was only then did she turn to face Silas. “Silas, what’s this all about?” Silas
answered casually, “Nothing!” Putting on the air of Madam Nolan, Lara remarked, “No matter what, we
should treat all our guests courteously. How could you chase one of our guests out?” Silas looked up at
Lara and spoke in a level but cocky tone, “I just find her to be an eyesore!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs soon as he said that, Lara took a breath in a barely noticeable manner to keep herself calm.
It was Ben who failed to control his temper. “Is that even a proper excuse for you to chase anyone out?
All of us are here to celebrate the old man’s birthday so what makes you think you have the right to
drive us out?” All of a sudden, Silas threw a flinty stare at Ben which made him feel as though someone
was pressing a knife threateningly close to his neck. “I can do that because this place belongs to the
Nolan Family!” As soon as he said that, both Ben and Lara were left stumped. In the meantime, Landon
was ecstatic deep down inside to see this. Serves them right for behaving so cockily and assuming
they’re one of the Nolans! Did Ben just ask Uncle Silas why he was chasing Melanie out? Does Uncle
Silas even need a reason to do anything he wants? Finding Melanie an eyesore is more than enough
reason for him to get her out of this place! Worrying that this trivial matter might escalate into
something big, Camila explained to Lara with a smile, “Aunt Lara, let me tell you what this is all about.
Miss Hopper is Landon’s ex-girlfriend and during the time they were dating each other, not only was
she unfaithful, she even plotted against Landon’s friend and sabotaged her. So, she was dumped by
Landon a week ago. In my opinion, she must have lied to Mr. Roberts in order to be here so that she
could show off to Landon how good her life is now. That’s the reason why Silas decided to get rid of
her.”
