Chapter 757
Just how silly is that? It's as if they'll get to have their own way once I break up with Nathan. She looked at Jasper
with calm eyes. "So, did you scheme for this with Gwen and Melanie?"
Overwhelmed with guilt, Jasper subconsciously reached out to grab Kate's hand, but she quietly pulled it back. He
explained in a whisper, "No, Katie. T-That wasn't the case. She came to me, saying that she'd definitely be able to
make you break up with Nathan as long as I took you to that hotpot restaurant. I was so desperate for you to leave
him that I didn't resist the temptation for a moment, but I had no idea how they schemed for it."
Kate believed that Jasper was telling the truth. Perhaps he just wanted them to break up so that he'd become a
couple with her. As a matter of fact, they'd indeed managed to drive a wedge between her and Nathan. If Olivia
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthadn't set a trap on purpose with Nathan and Eugene today, they wouldn't have given themselves away. In reality,
they couldn't be blamed for sowing discord between her and Nathan because there were too many problems in
their relationship. She was afraid of being hurt again and had always harbored a grudge against Nathan all the
time, so she couldn't trust him completely at all. On the other hand, Nathan never knew to distance himself from
other women, nor was he a good boyfriend. Even if no one had tried to drive a wedge between them, there was no
way there wouldn't be problems in their relationship.
Seeing how she didn't make a sound, Jasper felt even more insecure. He leaned closer to her somewhat
ingratiatingly, saying, "Katie, don't be mad at me, okay?"
Nathan's eyes had been fixed on Jasper since he sat down. Seeing how the latter whispered something to Kate and
how his head was about to touch hers, he could no longer restrain himself. Flying into a rage, he stood up, walked
straight up to Jasper, and seized the latter by the collar while glaring at him ferociously. "How dare you act lovey-
dovey with Katie in front of me after breaking us up with such a mean trick? How dare you ignore my presence?"
Before Jasper could fight back, Kate immediately grabbed Nathan's arm. "Let go of him. Who did you say was
acting lovey-dovey just now?"
Nathan turned to look at her in disbelief. "How could you still defend him? Didn't you hearthat he'd driven a wedge
between us on purpose?"
Kate glowered at him. "Why don't you say instead that so many things have happened because of all the mess you
created?"
Nathan gave a self-deprecating laugh before nodding heavily with a heartbroken look in his eyes. "Fine. Even if I'm
responsible forthat, isn't he responsible too? It's this guy you're defending who conspired with them to break us up!"
Kate shoved him away before replying furiously, "When have we ever been in a relationship?"
Silenced completely by the question, Nathan felt he was being pushed into a bottomless abyss. She's right. When
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhave we ever been in a relationship? He stared at her while feeling unable to breathe for a long time as though he
had been stabbed in the heart. "So, you have made your decision?"
"It's got nothing to do with you. If you have time to deal with someone else, why don't you think about what you did
wrong?"
Nathan looked at her. His eyes reddened instantly, and his voice hoarsened at once. "Katie, will you never forgive
this for life?"
Kate looked at him while taking a deep breath in silence. In the end, however, she didn't say anything.
They stood confronting each other in silence as both of them refused to budge.
Just then, Olivia said, "Nathan, why don't you sit down?"
Looking at her with a wry smile, Nathan replied, "What else can I say? I've been unable to sleep over the last few
days. I did whatever I could every single day to find the culprit who set us up, and now I've found them, but what's
the use of it? What's the use of me taking so much trouble to find the culprit?"
