Chapter 315 This Place Belongs to the Nolan Family
Melanie stared at Camila resentfully with her brows knitted and snapped, âHey, watch your words!
When have I ever been unfaithful? Why would I date Ben if I was eyeing another guy?!â Camila
chuckled, âHa! Isn't Ben just your backup plan because the man you really wanted isn't interested in
you?â Her face reddened with fury, Melanie fumed, âCamila Brooklyn, stop spouting nonsense!â
Ben, who finally had a clearer idea of the situation, hauled Melanie over and glared at her. âDon't
tell me Landon was the one who left you behind in the suburb,â he confronted.
Staring at Ben with her eyes brimming with anxiety and distress, Melanie tried her best to explain,
âBen, don't listen to them! I was the victim of their plot! You're the one I like!â
Ben's eyes turned menacing in an instant. âI'm asking you again-was Landon the one who left you
behind in the suburb?â
Melanie nodded vigorously at him and emphasized, âYes he was, but I have never been unfaithful to
him.â
Yet, Camila sniggered in response to her statement. âOh, really? I have a voice recording with me
and if you don't mind embarrassing yourself, I can play it for everyone to hear!â 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, âBen, 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!â 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, âHaul her out.â 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, âSilas, what do you mean by that?"
Silas cast him a fleeting stare before responding airly, âYou will have to leave with her
if I hear any more complaints from you!â Ben countered in a disbelieving tone, âDidn't you see it was
Landon who started the whole thing?â Silas decided to ignore him. Just as he was about to walk
away, he heard Lara's voice, âWhat's going on? What's this drama about?â âAunt Lara-"Ben, who
finally found his pillar of support, quickly walked over to Lara and grumbled, âAunt Lara, you have to
do justice for us because Silas wants to chase my girlfriend out!â 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. âSilas,
what's this all about?â Silas answered casually, âNothing!â Putting on the air of Madam Nolan, Lara
remarked, âNo matter what, we should treat all our guests courteously. How could you chase one of
our guests out?â Silas looked up at Lara and spoke in a level but cocky tone, âI just find her to be an
eyesore!â
As 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. âIs that even a proper excuse for you to chase anyone
out? All of us are here to celebrate the old manâs birthday so what makes you think you have the
right to drive us out?â 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. âI can do that because this
place belongs to the Nolan Family!â 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, âAunt Lara, let me
tell you what this is all about. Miss Hopper is Landonâs ex-girlfriend and during the time they were
dating each other, not only was she unfaithful, she even plotted against Landonâs 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.â
