Chapter 315 This Place Belongs to the Nolan Family
Melanie stared at Olivia 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?!”
Olivia 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, “Olivia Maxwell, stop spouting nonsense!”
Ben, who finally had a clearer idea of the situation, hauled Melanie over and glared at her. “Don’t tell me Nathan
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 Nathan 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 him.”
Yet, Olivia sniggered in response to her statement. “Oh, really? I have a voice recording with me and if you don’t

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 Nathan 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 Nathan 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, Eugene, who had been keeping mum all the while, finally
spoke as he instructed the bodyguards, “Haul her out.”
Ben frowned when he heard what Eugene 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, “Eugene, what do you mean by
that?”
Eugene 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 Nathan who started the whole thing?”
Eugene 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 Eugene 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 Eugene.
“Eugene, what’s this all about?”
Eugene 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?”
Eugene looked up at Lara and spoke in a level but cocky tone, “I just find her to be an eyesore!”
As soon as he said that, Lara took a breath in a barely noticeable manner to keep herself calm.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt 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, Eugene 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, Nathan 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 Eugene why he was chasing Melanie out? Does Uncle
Eugene 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, Olivia explained to Lara with a smile, “Aunt Lara,
let me tell you what this is all about. Miss Hopper is Nathan’s ex-girlfriend and during the time they were dating
each other, not only was she unfaithful, she even plotted against Nathan’s friend and sabotaged her.
So, she was dumped by Nathan 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 Nathan how good her life is now. That’s the reason why Eugene decided to get rid of
her.”
